So I’m a little confused. Hoping someone can offer some advice.

I have a 2500 sq ft house, two floors. It has a single AC unit for the entire house.

The issue is during the hot months, with the thermostat being downstairs, it cools the downstairs to say 72 but the upstairs is like 78+.

I bought some remote sensors for my thermostat so I can tell it to cool based off the upstairs temp.

However now, when my upstairs sensor hits 72, my downstairs is like 65 and freezing.

I mentioned this to a friend and he said I should check for dampers in the attic – I can’t see anything on the ducting so I have to assume I do not have any.

Is it an expensive project to get these installed and my AC balanced?

Why wouldnt the home builders include this in the AC plans. Seems really short sighted not to be able to control your air flow to multiple floors.

The only thing I can see is that the vents on the ceiling have tabs that I can pull closed, but I’ve been told that closing those or restricting the flow is harmful to your AC unit.

It’s really annoying because I have to either freeze downstairs, or sweat up stairs depending on which sensor I set my AC to.

My wife stopped to fill up for gas at the Shell on the corner of i10 and 99 (Katy).

It was broad daylight at 2pm. Busy gas station.

She was thirsty so went into get a drink. She was gone from her car all of 60 seconds.

They smashed her window, somehow managed to scratch her door paint on the outside and also the plastic trim on the inside has gouges.

Fortunately she had nothing of value in the car.

She took it to get fixed and was told by the dude that he’s fixed 8 car windows this week from around that area this week alone.

I don’t understand how they scratched up her paint and interior trim – but whatever, she’s not hurt and they didn’t steal anything of value which is the main thing.

Be careful people! Seems there’s lots of lowlife scum around right now.

Hi guys,

Have a few patches of freeze damage in my lawn I want to repair.

I know I can order plugs online to deliver but I’d rather buy local, also because then the plugs don’t have the stress of going through the mail.

Anywhere local that has them? I assumed Lowes or home depot but they don’t have them at the store they only have delivery, I’m guessing they just have a contract with a sod farm.

There must be as local landscaping place that sells plugs.

Located on the west side, south of Katy if that matters.

Hey there,

After boiling my water for tea, after it cools I’m seeing this cloudyness that settles very fast to the bottom of the water.

anyone know what it is? Wife is concerned. I said probably just calcium – but I’ve never seen so much in water after boiling in all my life.

Spotted these last night after a few beers on the way home. I have a high tolerance for spice and couldn’t resist.

They are no joke. I powered through the whole bag with some more beer, was touch and go for a while.

Today, my asshole feels like it went 13 rounds with Mike Tyson.

I may ask my wife to insert some ice cubes.

10/10 would eat again.
