re: Solar powered attic vent fan
Posted by PapaPogey on 8/12/26 at 2:01 pm to JumpingTheShark
I've got some in my new (to me) house and I was up in the attic 2 days ago and noticed it was significantly cooler than the rooms below that had no AC running.

I feel like my job sites get rain, but my house in BR never does. Not ideal.
Looks like a hot/dry SOB for the foreseeable future. At this point, I don't even roll up my hoses in the yard.

10-4 this house is new to me as of April so I’m trying to get a hold on some weeds, and I’m not sure about what was done previously.
Spurge may be new, not necessarily regrowth.
Here’s some lawn shots from a few weeks ago. Looking good, but there’s a lot of hidden spurge and nutsedge in there. Overall pleased with it but would like to cut it lower but my push mower doesn’t like to, and I don’t want the initial scalp look on my Bermuda.

Celsius knocked down the VBW pretty good at my house. Now if could just rid the nutsedge which I haven’t sprayed yet.
Any suggestions on getting rid of spurge? I’ve sprayed it with Celsius but it keeps popping up.

Wait until the hype train gets going in a few weeks and then gameday to kick the season off will be incredible

I mean hell all im asking about is re paving, that’s not monumental. I don’t care about widening,
I mean hell, half the center line paint is missing from Perkins to highland

So it’s still in the right of way acquisition phase with no mention of improvements to the current roadways.

Just moved back to BR and have to drive this stretch daily, and holy shite this road is worse than peak Essen a decade ago.
Surely with the amount of traffic through there, and schools in the area, there’s something in the works.

Hung out with him and JV at Cheetahs in ATL after the Peach Bowl in '19. Seemed like I remember him limping real bad or rehabbing from an injury. Anyway, CSB

Nanit is great for home, but has a lot of features that aren’t used, but paid for. Haven’t had any issues with ours for the last 2 years.
Only issue with baby stuff these days is that everything is WiFi and it’s useful until it’s not. I’d recommend buying a cheap Bluetooth monitor and camera set up to use as backup and take with you when you travel.

Sorry man. I also just found out yesterday that my boy is on short time with a tumor that was discovered in his lung. Worse is that the vet said it would out last him, so there’s gonna be a time when I have to evaluate his quality of life and make a tough decision to send him off.
I knew this day would come eventually, but I still don’t feel prepared.

This has certainly shaped up almost perfectly for us fans who didn't want the SEC to run through this thing, particularly Ole Miss, Bama, and UGA/TX.
Those are the 4 teams everyone loves to hate and watch lose, and we're about to be down to 1, which will then have to beat OU 2x.

That looks great. My front entrance is very similar. $750 isn't bad at all
Did they sand and then paint, or just strip? I like that color a lot.

Either way, they each have to win 3 straight games and that's a monumental talk historically

Agreed. I had a spar varnish on my other door and columns that held up well, but again I don’t want to tackle this myself.
Preference would be sand and stain a medium natural tone. Like I said it’s a lot of work with all the surrounding trim. Not sure how you get those intricate details without damaging the door and trim.

I bought a roomba 3 series a year or two ago and I can stand it. Loud and always having error/connectivity issues. It's okay when it finally decides to work.
Exterior Door Refinishing- Baton Rouge area
Posted by PapaPogey on 6/15/26 at 4:20 pm
Have a double entry door that desperately needs to be stripped and re-finished. I did this DIY on my previous home, but this door has a lot of trim work and glass that needs some more detailed attention.
Should I sand and stain/poly, or paint? This door is east facing so catches direct sunlight for the first half of the day.
Anyone have a recommendation?
