thanks, bud !
when we left atl, i posted a note in the garage for the new owner - location or irrigation control boxes, last time furn filters changed, etc,,, he'll probably not know how to change a filter but that's his problem
now - what about my hot garage ? :-)
We bought a roll down screen for the garage w/in the last year thinking we would open the garage more to get some air in there. Our attic was also dreadful so we looked into getting it insulated and adding fans, etc. Best move we have done. We had the attic insulated, as well as the area over our small, enclosed lanai.
When the guy came out to give us an estimate, the gentleman said we didn't need all the fans, etc., due to the way our attic was laid out. He also recommended we just do the attic first and see what we thought; if wanted more, he'd come do the garage. Their guarantee is that the attic will not be more than 5 degrees above the ambient temp - and they give you a little temp gun to check with. We have barely used our screen since doing the attic! I don't check the attic a lot, 'cause I don't open the door to it much and just don't think about it, but whenever I do check - it's good! But I'm telling you what! I have a digital thermometer in the garage and it is usually right at the outside temp or less - I don't open the garage door for the screen use 'cause it's hotter out there! Been very happy with it.
