Comments (5)The downside is there are way too many variables that would give the manufacturer a way out of any warranty claim. ph too high in your soaps? sorry, warranty's void. ph too high or low in your cleaners? Sorry, warranty's void. You used a semi abrasive cleaner/brush/rag/whatever to clean your stone? Sorry, warranty's void. These are just a few off the top of my head. Believe me when I tell you-- there's a million of em....See MoreJust about done/need some fasteners

Comments (15)worthy !! plz need more advice now you know I'm sort of clueless at this. I'm reading LOTS of articles on this. all say different things where you live. just to make it clear on me. I live in San Jose,CA area. no freeze, very little humidity. OLD cottage built 1930's has eh, some rotted wood, some termites (EVERY home here does), no varmints under the house. neighbors get skunks YUCK. foundation around perimeter is cement and up to above dirt grade, well thats a given. it is a rental (so no heavy money put into this, just want it to last with low maintenance) landlord very very cool with me, just likes to do things RIGHT. -he's anal like me and a contractor (with many licenses ) who's very busy so I do the dirty work. house has no insulation except blown in the attic,not covering any k&t. wish more could go up there, but have to closely look into that. just put in that new style batts, ultra soft touch shredded denim -no way I could put in fiberglass, the joists are literally touching my face in areas) there is an old floor furnace down there (shockingly they recently stopped making them LOL--hate the thing) it is vented with 4 vents. house is approx 30x30' at most. cellar doors open to go down to crawl space, able to stand and walk about the area of 8x10'. since insulating, the place stinks of the stuff (expected) and can also smell thru the vents.(always smelled a bit "musty". remember I just finished putting it all in there the other day (took about 7 days total - 6+ hrs per day so you can see it is thin crawl space. no k&t under house. small holes were filled with expanding foam. oh and one more thing, this house is grandfathered, so not required to be like "new" up to code in certain not redone areas-obviously. it is with whatever gets fixed. my landlord is GOOD! He has not tried the new denim expensive batts and wondered if I looked into them (which I did) so............. need honest opinion what else to do -( I know you've already said stuff, but I am getting different answers-at least I'm stupid to read into them. **help** and I'm not trying to be nosey, but since you know codes etc so well, I'm assuming you are a contractor ,or ?? by trade. so plz help me so I can talk to him. plzzzzzz I'm waiting to do anything else before I get some details what and why from you. (and others!) THANK you soooo much for your knowledge !! cindy I do plan to live here till I die! -only 53. :) (in less than 2 weeks ) feel like 29!...See Moretapla (mid-Michigan, USDA z5b-6a)
