What’s the dumb reasoning? They want to all to burn down?

I’m assuming there’s a rafter tail above the OSB that’s above the soffit panel. So even if you cut that OSB you’ll have the rafter tail to deal with. How does the roof meet the exterior wall above there? Is there flashing? Could that be where the water is intruding? The sheathing and foam was installed before the siding trim and gutters were there so it’s hard to imagine you getting any easy access unless you’re willing to cut a lot of things off and re build them.

If I’m being a cheap ass but also worried about fire I would get fire resistant big stuff and fill it up. may have to wait till one layer cures to close the gap enough for a second layer and then cut some sheet metal and make a crappy escutcheon type of thing to slap on top of it and call it a day

Get one that is a heat pump and not just AC for more efficiency.

That’s true, though since it is a reversing refrigerant flow system, it can act as a high efficiency heater as well. The high efficiency heating+ multifunction of the unit ( which negates the need for a separate electric resistive or fuel heater) make it’s overall performance more efficient in both energy use and spatial consumption, doesn’t it? It’s more efficient!

Any recommendations for joint compound?

I need a small amount of joint compound for random drywall repairs. Is there any real difference between different brands? Do any of them last longer than others after they have been opened? Any other considerations with knowing? Since I don’t need a lot I don’t mind spending a few extra bucks, but I’d like to know if...

My kitchen aid is a fancy rebranded whirlpool I think. It cleans super well and has not failed me, currently run it twice a day, no issues.

In my area azek PVC boards are commonly used. Not sure how well it would mean with the remaining trim though.

Help repairing crumbling steps ( lemmy.world )

I’m not sure what material or style these steps are, but they’ve started crumbling after water got into a crack and froze during the winter. It seems to be getting worse and I’m wondering how to address it. Is this something that can be patched or do I need to remove all this material and start over?
