    Tough moose meat?

    If you want to eat steaks try sous vide for a long time. Something like 4-5-6 hours at 125F.

    Leupold vx3hd 4.5-14 failure

    Sorry to hear of your troubles, many of us have been there. They just suck. See if you can get it fixed and sell it or sell it disclosing the problem. Tough lesson to learn. Tools do a job, send them down the road when they don't.

    Garmin Xero C1 @ Cabelas 15% off

    Bought one with active junky, $75 off and points. I've been waiting for them to come into stock to use that deal...

    Electricians?

    Wife and I have done it with a night light and flipping breakers - that works OK on a house not wired by someone on crack. We have a house that is crazy wired with a service main feeding 2 subs and also sending 12-2 directly into the house and also feeding a barn with a sub there too - very...

    Electricians?

    Won't help the OP, but if someone is looking for a project :rolleyes: it only takes a couple hours to do an electrical survey. It is especially nice in houses that are not wired intuitively. One of these speeds things up a lot...

    House design, what is the purpose of this design?

    That is a great question and we probably wouldn't have pulled the trigger without a solution. There is a 1700 square foot apartment on the property, so we have renters and we have a rental management company handle it. It has worked out well. In addition, we have temp sensors throughout and...

    House design, what is the purpose of this design?

    House is crazy well insulated, so we have that going for us. No rafters - all trusses and well insulated. 2x6 walls with EIFS on the outside of most of the house.

    House design, what is the purpose of this design?

    Thanks for the welcome. Love the state and the people. I think you can find "special" folks everywhere in the country without lookin too hard. :)

    House design, what is the purpose of this design?

    For sure, it will be a couple years until we are in the house full time. We have the time to get figured out what works and what doesn't. I can see being able to move heat out of there in both summer and winter as a benefit.

    House design, what is the purpose of this design?

    Those deer are probably all dead, they are region H deer taken at the start of winter of 2022-23. That attic ladder idea is why I ask this sort of question. If you put one in there the hallway would support you real well on the way up and it wouldn't take extra space. Obviously, there could be...

    House design, what is the purpose of this design?

    Nope, the house is 100% radiant electric. Opening can of worms here, I know. :)

    House design, what is the purpose of this design?

    I hear you, the space that I'm really looking for easy access to is the enormous unheated area over the 2 car garage and this little space we are talking about is an access point that might be better than the attic ladder. I'm just thinking about this, I mostly wanted to see if I'm stupidly...

    House design, what is the purpose of this design?

    Thanks, that was my other thought to close it off. A partial partition in that opening to hang mounts and to block the sight line into there for storage. It is rough getting into there, tho'. The attic ladder is a tall one, since the ceiling in the garage is 12 or 14'. We aren't getting any...

    House design, what is the purpose of this design?

    Thanks, above the master suite there is a closed off insulated sheet rocked room as well - it is accessed via a scuttle hole. Lot of storage that isn't very convenient there as well.

    House design, what is the purpose of this design?

    Yep. :) Good eye.

    House design, what is the purpose of this design?

    It is stick built on site. We got the truss quote when we bought and given the diversity of trusses, they went to a lot of trouble to get what they wanted. I'm more of a simple guy, I kinda prefer a square box with a gable roof. Here is a shot of the outside.

    House design, what is the purpose of this design?

    Unfortunately, I'm sitting on the East coast right now earning that last bit of retirement money :).

    House design, what is the purpose of this design?

    Yes, something like that I think. Barring some epiphany on how the space was designed to be used, I was thinking about a spiral or other space saving staircase. The peak is pretty low there, but if the staircase hit at the peak it would be good.

    House design, what is the purpose of this design?

    We bought this house in WY last year and we are super happy with the house and lot, but there are some head scratchers that we run across from time to time. We have never had a house with a more modern design like this and wonder why it is set up this way. We didn't buy the house for the house...
