  • Attic is vented but it does little good without a decent wind. Crawlspace is slightly cooler than outside ambient air, call it 85° in June. The same wind that would help the attic would also remove the cool from the crawlspace I think? Attic is insulated with old old blown fiberglass and then a layer of newer rolled fiberglass - not terrible insulation actually. Also the crawlspace is insulated from the house with spray foam insulation.










  • If you solved a shocking outlet then that’s the most important & dangerous thing put to bed. Kudos & good job. Next time it doesn’t have to be an outdoor box, a cheap handy box would have worked. Also if your circuit has yellow (20 amp) Romex then all of it should be 20 amp wire. I just had to fix this very thing in a remodel where I added a couple of outlets. Inspectors jump on stuff like this but you’re home free…well until you sell



  • I’ve driven as far as NE Florida to Birmingham and Fla to Maryland in my Tesla. On a long trip, I basically have to take 30 or 40 minutes to charge after 3 or 4 hours of driving. This is fine with me. 98% of my driving is when I’ve charged at home.

    With an EV, I’m also trading for a vehicle with: 1/10 the number of moving parts, basically zero maintenance besides tires, no noise, no emissions, and no gas to buy. EVs are not at all perfect but they are way smarter than ICE vehicles right now.
