I really wanted to use this when i redid my windows, but they had to be professionally installed. Found it cheaper just to do it myself then use the grant.
Based on the diy renovations I see in my travels and online, most people not in said profession cannot be trusted to install things properly.
Are you 100% confident that if a neg pressure test was done it would conclude you installed them to spec?
Yes, I am.
I work for city hall, right beside the inspectors, so I had them look over the work!
That said, until I re-wrap the house this year, it's a patch
That’s awesome! I am jealous. I am fairly handy but I usually ruin things on my first attempt (at a new project) so when it comes to big ticket items I feel it’s cheaper (for me) to go with the pros. Who knows, maybe I’ll build a shed this summer and try my hand at windows.
Yep, buy a 100 years old house with wood framed windows and air leaks everywhere? You better do everything yourself because the government programs don't cover the cost of labour.
