re: How Long Did Your Tankless Water Heater Last?
Posted by HBomb on 1/24/24 at 1:50 pm
I have a 5 year old navien tankless and do the descale/servicing on it myself once a year. There’s a great video on YouTube that goes through the steps.
You’ll need a bucket, sump pump, washing machine hoses and a couple of gallons of vinegar. I did not do it the first couple years and when I d...

New ductwork in crawl space
Posted by HBomb on 9/12/23 at 8:32 pm
I’m in need of new ductwork in one section of my house, about 1700 sq ft. No telling how old my current ducts are, but they’re in bad shape and need to replaced.
It’s a total of 8 floor vents these ducts go to. On top of that crawl space is pretty damn tight, so the job will suck no doubt.

Sprinkler systems
Posted by HBomb on 8/24/23 at 11:17 am
Hello, currently getting bids for a new sprinkler system. I previously had one but due to an addition I did to the home, I had to have a new sewer line run from the back of the house to the front and thus tore up everything I had in place(no practical way around it).
Anyway, my nextdoor neighbor...

Bachelor Party in Mexico City
Posted by HBomb on 5/10/23 at 1:51 pm
Going on a bachelor party to Mexico City over labor day weekend. Was wondering if anyone had experience doing such trip in CDMX? I've been once but was with my wife and friends that lived there at the time, so didn't hit up the party scene too much.
I know we plan to eat at some good dining an...
