I need to de-huge a huge room. I thought making some sound absorbing panels might help. I found this video, which is great, so I’m going to try this. Having trickle finding thermally bonded polyester though. Is that a common thing, or is it a niche product.

Finishing the projects I wasn’t able to make enough time for last month. 😅

Printing some armies for OPR Grimdark for myself and my brother to test the war gsming waters with :)

So far a few test prints worked great and the second land raide equivalent is coming along great.

Replacing our incredibly sketchy wood stove with a gravity fed pellet stove.

Still mulling over how to replace the pipe on the roof, since the opening was built for a 7" pipe and the pellet stove requires a 3-4" pipe at most.

Heavily considering running the new pipe through the current one and paying someone to do it right next year.

Not something I have any experience with but please allow me opine from my armchair:

the only problems I forsee with that approach are:

– any bends you might have to navigate – supporting/stabilizing the new pipe – sealing the top to prevent a down draft forming between them and pulling exhaust into your home

DarkSirrush ,

There are no bends, or I wouldn’t even consider it, and figuring out the support/stabilizing of the new pipe would likely tie into sealing it to prevent the downdraft.

Those are good points though.

I’m not familiar with pellet stoves, but would a converter work so you can reuse the old exhaust pipe in place?

Yes, but I need to make sure it doesn’t increase the airflow by a very large margin, or it affects the stove in a very negative way (either burning dangerously hot, or causing smoke to go the wrong way, etc).

Mostly I need to inspect what’s currently in place and see what fits where to figure out what I am doing.

My sister’s creosote build up in her exhaust pipe ignited one Thanksgiving. A fire of sticky tar, in a tube running through inaccessible walls and roof. That was interesting (ripped the pipe out quickly and it was contained). You may want to inspect before adding in a new exhaust, if you haven’t yet.

DarkSirrush ,

Chimney fires are incredibly scary, and I definitely will be cleaning the old piping before I do anything else. Fortunately I don’t have any sort of attic or complicated setup, it just goes through about 1’ of ceiling/roof and that’s it.

Diy freeskates. They seem simple enough to try fast, and look like they could actually be useful for my commute.

Awesome! Are you gonna post a build log?

I’ve never heard of those. I looked them up and they look super fun! Like a skateboard and rollerblades had children.
