    I'm with you on using 14/2 for the bedrooms. Really no need for the extra expense of 12/2 for bedrooms, however, I thought I heard you say you were going to use a mini split system. It may be a challange to get the air in the bedrooms if the door is closed for privacy . My brother heated with a wood stove and bought through-the-wall electric vents, which was mainly a through-the-wall kitchen or bath vent with a decorative cover on both sides that was super quiet and it's purpose was to move heated or cooled air from one room to the other. He placed it high on the wall where the heat gathered to move the heated air into the bedrooms. Worked out well. In your case since moving cool air is more of a concern because of where you live, placing it lower down toward where the cooler air is would be better. You may want to ponder on this and if it's a possibility, go ahead and run a wire in the wall before you put up your wall coverings. Just a thought.

  • @boredpeanutbutter75
    @boredpeanutbutter75 Годину тому

    The siding looks really nice! Can't wait to see what color you paint it. But even if you leave the siding its natural color it would look good. It goes well with the white trim and green door. If I were Eevee, or if Eevee was me, she would have screamed and ran the moment she saw that roach! Roaches and flies are two insects I don't hesitate to kill. The fly might be allowed to remain a little longer depending on whether or not I'm too busy to get rid of it, but roaches, I don't care how busy I am. That's with the exception of the Madagascann hissing cockroach. I wouldn't like it, but I'd allow it to be removed while still alive. You guys have a great day! Bye Maverick 👋 Bye Bell/ Belle?

    2:30 I know you said you did but, did you wire for smoke alarms? I mean, if you didn't wire for smoke alarms you will have to start all over from scratch. Just tear it all down now because it's not like anyone makes a smoke detector that runs on a 9 volt battery. You gotta run the wires darn it! I'm just kidding since sarcasm is difficult for some to catch when in written form.

    from what i have learned over the years , you are partly right on the cut edge of wood..... heres why i think that. yes you want to protect a cut edge from getting wet , but "primer" only helps if your going to paint it. sealant is what i would use to seal the wood from getting wet. its just what works for me here in deep south texas near the gulf of mexico. NOT triyng to be a smart a$$ just thought i offer a differant type of view. dont stop your work i love that your family all pitch in to help. God speed!!
