Ever get your head stuck between balusters? 😅

Loose balusters and improper spacing can create safety hazards, especially for children. Fortunately, I was able to get myself out of this one!

In case you were wondering... ✌🏼😆

Do you know how your home is heated when temperatures stay low for days at a time?

Heat pumps are interesting because they don’t create heat the way a furnace does. They move heat from outside air into the home. Yes, even when it’s cold out! ❄️

The thing to know is that during a longer stretch of freezing weather, a residential home may need a backup heat source to help keep the house comfortable.

Tiny HVAC lesson from the field 🤓✌🏼 Do you have a backup?

Always on a roof!

Slate Roofs are really cool - theyr're made from stone material and can last a long time when they're maintained properly. Its a good idea to have them serviced by someone who specializes in slate. If one piece is damaged, a slater can remove the broken slate and slide a new one into place without replacing the whole roof.

Not a bad office for the day 😎🏡✌🏼

Can you tell I really think mill buildings are awesome 😆

On a more serious note, they really are interesting. The scale, the brickwork, the infrastructure - it’s impressive to see what was built.

But it also came at a human cost.

A lot of the people who worked in these mills had tough conditions - long hours, low pay, and in many cases, they were kids.

I appreciate what’s there while still thinking about the people who made it possible ☮️❤️ Have you seen the old mills in Lowell, MA?

Every now and then, it’s worth taking a look at your crawl space whether that’s yourself or having someone else check it out.

In this case, these 3/8” copper lines are from an old buried oil tank and this is where water is getting in. That moisture can become a water source for mice, which is something you definitely want to avoid.

✍ TAKEAWAY: Keeping the area clean and dry makes a big difference when it comes to preventing issues like moisture buildup and giving pests a place to settle in. Sealing it properly helps keep that moisture out and the space under control.

When’s the last time you actually looked at your roof?

This is older lead flashing around a plumbing vent. It’s actually good quality material, but over time it can develop small tears.

This one isn’t leaking right now, but it is something you want to keep an eye on.
Also noticed the PVC is a little loose up top. This is an easy fix, just needs to be sealed.

It’s small details like this that most people wouldn’t think twice about,
but they’re exactly the kind of things I’m always looking for 🔍🏠 🤓
