Funny you mention the powered fans—I always wondered if they just end up pulling more humid air in from wherever they can find it. Did you notice any ...
That’s interesting about the foil-backed tape holding up—honestly, I was skeptical about anything sticking through a Texas summer. Did you do anything...
I get the appeal of “set-it-and-forget-it,” but I’m not convinced lead boots are always worth the upfront cost, especially if you’re in a mild climate...
