Totally agree—found a wet patch on the insulation last spring before anything showed on the ceiling. Quick question though: do you guys ever actually ...
Honestly, I think those foam things just trap more junk than they keep out. Have you looked at the metal mesh covers? They’re pricier, but in my exper...
That’s exactly what happened to my uncle’s place—he put in a big attic fan, but never checked for gaps around the attic hatch or recessed lights. AC w...
