SoySaucePrinterInk OP , to Home Improvement in How would you seal this gap around kitchen sink plumbing?
@SoySaucePrinterInk@sh.itjust.works avatar

Very helpful! One of the pipes is hot water to a sink and the other two are cold water and wastewater. In that case I think I’ll do some mdf / scrap wood then fill remaining hole with steel wool I have in hand. I’m guessing the hot water pipe wouldn’t be enough to pose a fire risk with the steel wool / mdf?

As I added in another comment, I’m a tenant.

I’m actually a tenant trying not to deal with my landlord. But I fully agree with your take on it.

Thanks, are there any that you’d recommend which are heat and rodent resistant?

Not sure if this is being facetious but yes, I do. If the materials I have on hand are a fire hazard, then I’m open to using alternatives.

And if you can swing it, I’d honestly throw another small pump in there for redundancy.

SoySaucePrinterInk OP , to Home Improvement in Are there any window AC units that don't hang outside of the window (building requirement)? Or is a dual-hose portable AC unit my best option for an energy efficient AC unit?
@SoySaucePrinterInk@sh.itjust.works avatar

I understand! So then given my limitation, a dual hose portable AC unit is my best option.

Don’t dual hose portable AC units follow the same principle of venting the waste heat outside? As I understand it, the window AC units are still much more efficient at this as they don’t have a hose to push/pull it through.

Thank you everyone. I’ll wipe the area first, then give foil tape a try. I might use mastic for a better seal if it doesn’t cost much more.
