  1. Ìt gets rid of the radiator effect from the studs
  2. The funniest part, you see all those studs, they're effectively radiators from the interior to the exterior. They went all 'super insulated' with foam but it's not much better than a standard wall when tested as a system. I did a double wall exterior, so exterior wall-1"gap- then an interior wall. Canadians have been transitioning to exterior insulation. Then the foam seals it up tight, but no homeowners and many builders don't understand they then need to have intentional ventilation with these tight FOAM houses. There's formaldehyde-free fiberglass insulation, by the way.
  3. These are just small companies, they'll build it however you want. They say free estimates.
  4. $18k 390sqft. Delivers to Quebec, not solid wood, but any of these companies should do it. https://northcountrysheds.com/cabins
  5. I'd look for a solid-wood shed builder. Your plumber can prepare the underground plumbing before it arrives. It doesn't need to be a trailer like those, they can deliver huge sheds off their trailer. https://northcountrysheds.com/cabins
  6. If you're only doing the framing and roofing, you should get a price for someone to just do the entire house, you're just doing the cheap labor stuff. Especially if a recession hits, labor will be even cheaper. You can look for a company that will build it at their shop and deliver it. You still want a great design though, no one knows how to build. Make sure the building area is elevated to reduce moisture with the wood and interior. Maybe splurge for custom white oak boards at the bottom, you don't need treated fir above that, is boiled linseed oil 'toxic' for the exterior? The video is untreated wood. Also, I found a $2k fantech HRV brand new for $150 on marketplace, if you keep an eye out. My water heaters too, found brand new ones cheap. If you know what you're looking for, you can look for circuit breakers too.
  7. @integral you probably know to not do LED lighting fixtures. If you're doing solar/wind, low voltage d.c. lighting is more efficient(barely any emf with d.c. too), but you'd probably want to do that after inspections. As extreme as you are though, maybe just battery lights! And a solar/wind charger, at least temporarily. Have you ever operated anything like an excavator? Your costs if you can do it yourself will be substantially less if you do your foundation, septic(if applicable) and plumbing from your well(if applicable). I had to get a well license and take septic courses in the u.s. to do mine, but it was simple, couple hours online, and buy a bond.
  8. "Trump says he’s considering ‘joint venture’ with Iran for Strait of Hormuz tolls" https://thehill.com/policy/international/5821343-trump-us-iran-ceasefire-deal-joint-venture-strait-of-hormuz/ "Earlier Wednesday, Trump wrote on Truth Social that there was “big money” to be made by the U.S. aiding in the “traffic buildup” in the Strait of Hormuz."

What an actual clown show.
  9. If you have any money, the best time to leave is probably now, if you can make it to Turkiye. This could last for 20 years, of which you'll probably just get poorer and poorer. The entire attack on Iran was possibly just a false flag event to invade Lebanon. It's so weird that Lebanon isn't fighting back even with their capital being bombed. It's safe to say now that the Lebanese government is an illegitimate Israeli proxy.
  10. There's no way any purification system or house plants will clean all the chemicals from the air in a normal house. Everything painted and finished, every synthetic material off-gasses. The interior of a normal house has worse air quality than Times Square or downtown L.A., often 100 times more polluted than outdoor air.
  11. Its not a trick, wool is a normal insulation used, it's better than standard fiberglass even. https://havelockwool.com/products/r13-batt-insulation-16-o-c
  12. Trump's moving onto Greenland now with his "conquest", as he calls it. Those Nazis deserve it.

  13. I'm interested, I'm reading your posts and will. I don't understand what you're trying to get at, for me to ask any question. I think anti-trans is very stupid. Trans people are recorded in the Bible, hard to blame Disney for them....
  14. MTG is Alex Jones conspiracy level, it's not consistent with her belief structure to support whomever is in charge. It's not denial with Conservatives, they're plain old liars, they're taught to lie everyday growing up. Look at church for example, they just make everything up and say it's true.
  15. You don't need to get it air tight, you just need to filter make-up air and slightly 'pressurize' it. Remember to seal the ground/floor, for radon from the ground. Use metal clad electrical cables for reducing emf.

  17. That's easy, you can do it. Don't sweat the inspection, just fix something if they want something changed. Draw a detailed plan how you're going to install everything; to submit to the plans examiner.
  18. What's trumps distraction from this going to be? I bet a health scare. I bet he resigns within a year.

  20. YouTube · NBC News 24K+ views · 1 hour ago BREAKING: Iran says Strait of Hormuz is closed due to Israeli strikes on Lebanon Reports from Iranian state media say the Strait of Hormuz is not open because Iran is responding to the continued Israeli airstrikes into Lebanon Iran must not understand what "we won" means, dumbass goat herders. Hey, Socialists, would Hilary or Harris have bombed Iran, or is not calling Gaza a genocide the same anyway? They're the same party, right?
  21. I'm just trying to explain my view of what spirituality vs philosophy is. I don't think I can explain it any better, and you trying what I'm suggesting is the best way I can think of for you to understand my view.
  22. Uhh, Iran has - missiles....

Other examples include funding Cuban exiles against Cuba in 1961 and alleged indirect funding of militant networks via ransom payments.

  23. I suggest exploring spirituality like that and see where it takes you.
  24. In terms of who should have missiles? I see no logical grounds for that determination. Do you know that a Tomahawk cruise missiles can target a car from 500 miles away, the U.S. used that on a girl's school last month
