i haven't, and tbh, i don't know how much longer we'll be here. it's beautiful, but the acre is becoming to much to take care of. if only i could talk my wife into moving to a certain state with plentiful sunshine and no snow.
Im pulling for you. Currently in PA with my folks where it is rainy constantly and prohibiting work we had planned. But had a nice family get together in between torrential downpours.
There’s definitely stuff growing here that moisture promotes. I’ve been spoiled away from the humidity. The old farm house without ac is a bit of a sleeping challenge in this weather.
how do they do it? my biggest fear is the a/c breaks down in the middle of a heat wave and it takes a couple days to fix it. i'd be in a hotel, or at least the pip.
There’s a lot of mushrooms growing around here in not normal places. Probably not the only fungus I would imagine.
Years of experience . They have a window unit for their bedroom. When they added on the rooms for my brothers room and mine above the garage (not insulated), they installed the slide horizontal windows, not the open vertical style. So no way to add a window unit. I just have the fan cranking full blast as a stop gap. Winters are better as you can layer the blankets up.
It could be a lot of blankets, but there are other ways to stay warm in the winter. I was born in December, so there had to probably be at least one cold late February or early March evening . We bring out the flannel sheets too as a stop gap.
When the skunks moved out of our neighborhood, the rabbits moved in. I suggest looking into a channel drain in front of the garage. Divert the water before it gets in.
unfortunately, it is condensation and rain dripping off the car. nothing coming from outside, that would be an easier fix. when we get weeks of rain and humidity, it is constantly like this. when it is less humid, it dries up pretty quickly by leaving the garage doors open. snow melting off the car creates even more water.
if you look at my post #9, in the picture, there is a thick rubber seal on the bottom of the garage doors, a 1" drop at the outside edge of the concrete, and a sloped concrete entry pad and sloped driveway. all that was designed correctly. what happened inside? i guess they were just careless when floating the cement.
Even if done right, it sounds like you would still have water on the garage floor, just in different spots. A floor blower should help in drying puddles out.
probably. pitched to the front, it might be a bit less. in the olden days, some pitched to the center with a drain, now illegal.
Was going to mention a floor drain. I guess they are illegal because of oil and other leaks of stuff we don't want getting out in the environment.
Really?!? Seems a bit ridiculous to me as the problem isn't the floor drain, it's the leaks. Speaking from experience, when a brake line fails, brake fluid will get into the environment and that won't be your biggest worry at that particular moment.
