Kayaking Caples Lake
Kerri and I decided to head over to Caples Lake since our local reservoir was jam packed this 4th of July day. Caples Lake was definitely worth the drive.

      It was truly amazing. For being the 4th of July, there were not many people on the lake. A lake we passed along the way (Silver Lake) was completely packed so it was worth the extra 20 minute drive. The area we paddled through was definitely not for boats as many of the boulders were just below the surface. The lake itself, is plenty deep for boats outside of the boulder areas.

    Went into the crawl space and quite a bit of water in there. Condensate needed replaced so went and got a new one. Realized it's hardwired to the HVAC/ AC unit. Was this only because the cord wasn't long enough to reach the plug 20ft away? I went and got an extension cord and some zip ties and problem solved. I now need someone to disconnect the old pump that is hardwired.

    • @HamiltonServices530
      @HamiltonServices530 Місяць тому

      I am not familiar with those model numbers as Air Scrubber model numbers. I think those are UV bulbs only when I search those model numbers. When started comparing the numbers on the LSE lighting website (UV bulb manufacturer), the differences were either the UV wavelength (245nm or 254nm) or the length of the actual bulb (8-1/2" or 8-3/4") or whether or not the bulb produces ozone. I am not a UV bulb expert so I could not tell you what the difference in wavelength does. Some states have outlawed ozone producing items so those bulbs may not available in some areas. I am in California and have to get the non-ozone producing replacement cartridge. The Air Scrubber replacement number I need is 9950231 or US71088. Not sure if this helped or muddied the water even more?

    • @HamiltonServices530
      @HamiltonServices530 2 місяці тому

      It looks like the Grace Ice and Water Shield is not fire resistant and would not meet the class A fire resistance requirements for the WUI zone where we are building. The roof was covered with Titanium FR which is a peel and stick. I then used Polystick XFR, which is also a fire rated peel and stick, to roll up the side of the curbs. Then to make it even more waterproof, I used the foil backed flashing tape to cover the Polystick since it was easier to get all the way to the top of the skylight curb. I guess the only thing I could have done better is add another layer of the flashing tape over the metal roof flashing before adding the final skylight flashing. It is nice to hear you are using quality materials as well. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.

    At the beginning I believe you said the dehumidifier is basically an air conditioner. This is not correct at all. The air coming out of the exhaust should actually be anywhere from 10-15 degrees warmer than the air going in. It will be much dryer air. But this is NOT an air conditioner. It does work in conjunction with the A/C to remove moisture from the air. But it is not, nor should it put out cold air. The output should be hotter than the input. I have worked on these for years and I have installed tons of them myself. The evaporator coil will cool their air below the dew point. This is why you get condensation from the system. Then it goes to the condenser coil. This makes the air hotter. The purpose of this is because warmer air has a higher latency. However at this point the air is hotter, it is also dryer.

    Hi Scott. Is this a fully conditioned/encapsulated crawlspace? May I ask why you made this design choice? Is it for energy efficiency or frost protection (Tahoe has snow but South San Jose does not)? I wonder the pros and cons of doing this for our build. We have a crawlspace but also have flood vents (near creek)

    • @HamiltonServices530
      @HamiltonServices530 5 місяців тому

      We did the sealed crawlspace and attic mostly for wildfire prevention, but it has the added bonus of energy efficiency since all plumbing and HVAC are now in conditioned space and not exposed to outside temperatures. In having no vents in the crawlspace or attic eaves, we are hoping fire embers remain outside when the winds blow them against the house. As for the cons, I need dehumidifiers in the crawlspace and Energy Recovery Ventilators to bring fresh air into the house because it is so airtight. The building materials and sealants we used to make the high efficiency house were also a lot more expensive than standard building materials. As for additional Pros, we can feel the benefits of the airtight house with rooftop insulation already even though we are still in the building process.
