I was up this evening trying to fix a problem with the window I put in. Even though it looked like it was spaced right (inset into the window buck -- this is not a nail flange type window but an insert window with anchor brackets) -- it was sticking out about 3/8" too far when I went around to seal the front. So I unscrewed all the brackets and used an oscillating saw to cut the sealant but by then it was dark and it didn't want to move and so I figured better to wait for tomorrow when I can see. I may have to actually cut/pull the sealant out instead of just cutting through it. I may truy and push the window out and clean it up before pulling it back in. We'll see.
Also was trying, with the help of my son, to route all the 3.25" flexible ducting for the Zehnder mechanical air ventilation system. Each major room (living room/kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, workout room, etc) has either a supply, exhaust, or both and depending on how much airflow they want, uses 1, 2, or 3 of these ducts to a single register. We were trying to figure how to route these ducts through the floor joists within the "rules" for putting holes in floor joists. The problem we were running into is that grouping them together as if they were one big hole or rectangle, the hole has to be far enough away from the supported edge as far as I can tell, that we can only put one such hole through based on the span length. It will be interesting to see how we get it all routed in the end.
I also spent time on the phone going over how the Zehnder is supposed to be installed/set-up wth the various mufflers, filters, manifolds, etc. installed on it.
I took this pic tonight. The room inside the framing here is the train room.
