Tin, metal, copper ceilings?
Apr 24, 2007 by Lovemyfamily | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
My husband and I live in a home that was bought on auction. The house is amazing and at a perfect price. But! There are a lot of changes that need to be made, especially in the area of decorating and repairing walls. Can anyone direct me to the "do's and don'ts" of putting up tin, metal or copper ceilings? They are beautiful but I am not sure if this house would be a good "host" for them. Our main living area is huge, (entire house being about 3,000 sq feet +) and the walls down in this living area are diagnal dark wood boards. They are very rustic looking and lovely, lush burgandy carpet is on the floor. Ceilings are about 12 feet. Would this be a good place to put them? Also our dining room has hardwood floors. Same beautiful wood on most walls, but one wall is plaster. Any thoughts on the copper ceilings in this room? Any thoughts would be great. Thanks!
for go the tin ceiling....and put your money elsewhere...tin is nice but expensive...set your budget first..fix the walls ..upgrade fixtures, cabinets.etc...all of which you will use...paint the ceiling..add medalions around the ceiling lights to add interest...or do a painting on the ceiling ..good luck and have fun with it....

It's generally a good idea to keep it from contact with Human skin as well.

A bird is trapped in my metal shop, 7000 sq feet but really tall ceilings.?
Sep 24, 2008 by kbbcoop | Posted in Other - Home & Garden
Its been there for 3 days now, but now I just hear it chirping and cannot find it. I looked for over an hour today but still cannot find. It came in through our large roll up door but it hasnt come down from the trusses. Is the bird doomed? What can I do?
The bird is not doomed. Almost all huge metal sheds, quonset huts, etc. have a few birds. If he really wants to get out he can when someone opens the door. If there are any bugs around he's set for food, and if there's standing water he's set for liquid.
And yes, they hide. Nobody's yet found the nest of the bluejay living in the Pengrowth Saddledome in Calgary. He's been there two years (Every once in a while he divebombs Peter Maher, the voice of the Flames, when he's on air.)

Is it OK to run Flexible Metal Vent through a wall, that is hooked up to a gas dryer?
Jul 23, 2008 by Jimmy B | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
I recently bought a gas dryer. After hooking up the exaust, I read in the manual... "do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings or floors." Does this mean I cant run the flexible metal vent that I have directly through a wall, which is no more than 6 inches in length? OR does it mean not to run the vent from the bottom of the wall to the top?
You shouldn't use flexible vent hose for a gas dryer at all. The corrugations trap lint like a magnet. Then in theory (though I think it's probably unlikely), unburned gas or a start-up flame (which can be quite large) can travel into the tube and combust the lint. Straight wall metal tube doesn't have this problem, because the lint can't stick to it as well (though it can stick, and will require cleaning periodically).
Another, more likely issue is that the lint accumulation will simply block the airflow out of your dryer, which will drop its efficiency severely. Since the run of the hose through the wall is horizontal, and usually ends in a vent valve (a lint accumulator), having the corrugated stuff at this point is not wise. The lint will build up very quickly without gravity to help it fall back down the tube.
Lastly, it will be more difficult to create a reliable air seal around a flexible vent than around a rigid vent tube. This will allow cold air to enter the home, or escape the home (in summer) and raise your cooling/heating costs (a little tiny bit).
The best compromise, if you don't want to engineer rigid vent tube all the way from the outside to the dryer itself (which admittedly takes some precision in measuring and cutting and selection of angle pieces), is to use rigid tubing through the wall, and connect it to flex tubing inside the house and run that to the dryer. Most of the home stores actually sell the outside flapper vents (you'll need one of these unless you like cooking squirrels in your dryer) with about a 12" section of rigid tubing already installed. So you just buy one of these, push it through your wall from the outside, screw the flapper vent to the outside of your home, and run flex line from the (now protruding inside) rigid vent tube to the dryer. This makes it actually easier than using flex tubing through the wall (which you'll have great difficulty attaching a flapper vent to), and it's "more right" to do it this way. Last one I bought was $8 at Home Depot, for the flapper and rigid through-the-wall tube already attached.
