Jun 21	comment	Is there an easy way to measure the height of a tree? Yes, I basically had the same answer, but said to add your height to the calculated height if you were standing when taking the angle measurement.

Jun 21	comment	Bathroom vent terminates to attic not outside. Under your eaves, between the outer edge of your roof and the wall of your house, is the soffit. There are usually vented plates or panels in the soffit; these are part of the overall ventilation of your attic. Air comes in through the soffit vents and exits through the roof vents (depending on design and code the roof vents can be louvers in the walls on the sides of the house, capped holes in the top of the roof, and/or an apex vent). If you put your exhaust vent cap too close to the soffit vents, it just gets drawn right back into the attic, condenses, and causes all the same problems.

Jun 21	comment	Bathroom vent terminates to attic not outside. Like I said in the edited answer, you MAY be able to get away with it, but it's not minimum code because you can still get condensation onto wood and other materials in the attic, which is a recipe for mold, weathering and rot of the interior structure of your house. Trust me, a day spent cutting the hole and fitting a vent, or a couple hundred dollars to have a roofer do it, is pocket change next to the kind of damage you can wind up with after 5-10 years of severe condensation in your attic.

Jun 21	comment	How to loosen a nut when bolt and nut move together? Yep, also called an Allen head. You should be good to go as long as you have an Allen wrench of the right size.

Jun 21	comment	Removing Tuck Tape from an unfinished window frame Are we looking at the sub-framing of the window that simply wasn't faced/cased over when the window was installed, or was the builder actually stupid enough to tuck-tape the barrier to the window casing?
