Man, I hear you on the attic fan placement. When I put mine in, I thought I’d just pop it right in the middle—nope. Ended up crawling around like a ra...
That foil bubble wrap stuff does help a bit, but yeah, I’ve never seen one fit perfectly out of the box either. Weatherstripping is kind of the unsung...
That’s pretty much my experience too. I’ve tried the anti-fog spray, spit (gross, but desperate times), and even the “vented” goggles. Still end up wi...

I’ll admit, I’ve seen felt look pretty sad after a rough week, but honestly, I think it gets a bit of a bad rap sometimes. Most of the time, if you’re...
