I get lots of questions on the difference between a whole house fan and an attic fan. This article will explain the difference between, and the benefits of, each.
First, Attic Fans
Attic fans designed to move air from your attic to the outdoors. Why would you want to do this? Well, a good handyman knows that [...]
Most houses built today use common trusses that don't provide for attic space like older homes framed with traditional rafters. In a recent post, Creating Storage Room With Attic Trusses, I pointed out the benefit of using attic trusses to create inexpensive storage space. In order to take advantage of that newly gained space it's important to plan your duct work installation with your HVAC contra
The Attic team have recently signed up to PayPerPost and, so far, we very much like what we see!One of the main reasons for the creation of the Sports Fan Attic was to get our thoughts and opinions 'out there', and the discovery of the PayPerPost community has given this idea a real boost. And, it's a two-way thing. If we find someone's post that we'd like to review - well, we can, and we can ma

I think the best way to discuss the “reemergence” of the credit crisis is to remember a childhood story.

Is Hillary about to join the ranks of "The Crazy Aunt in the Attic"?Is Hillary Clinton about to become the Democrat equivalent to the "crazy aunt in the attic": fondly remembered, but still crazy?That's the verdict of Politico's James Kotecki.Hillary Clinton may indeed be the crazy aunt in the attic for the Democrats. A polarizing figure, there are few voters with no opinion of the former first lady.Clinton is now in the position of an inept card shark: she's having to overcome a deck she stacked against herself. She's not the only one paying the price, however. Democrat voters are now left with the unappetizing choice between a crazy aunt and Barack Obama, a candidate we're assured is a brilliant orator--by the same people scrambling to explain away his latest gaffe.For the Democrats, it'
Shrouded in paranormal mist
Are strange, mysterious vortices –
Portals to branch universes
Where rapt interdimensional
Denizens raise chills on napes of
Dreamers’ pale, unsuspecting necks;
Where breathless awareness bristles
In silent, prayerful pleas offered
Of devoured skepticism;
Where moonless, dark shadows obscure
Peripherally-detected,
Indistinct, yet certain movement;
Where eerie, indiscernible
Conversations of by-gone times
Float away on waves of chilled air;
Where dog’s nervous growls fall upon
Invisible energy of

Dealing With Toxic Toys in the Attic - As the dust begins to settle from parents rounding up their children's toys after the national lead paint recalls, many eco-conscious parents now wonder how they should dispose these confiscated toys. The toys' lead paint is highly toxic and known to cause a range of health problems in young children. There is no question that parents should immediately remove these toys from the home and away from children. More: continued here Other Review: Planet Of The Dogs (Paperback)

Do you have an attic in your house? Lucky You! You can decorate your attic however you like and create your own favorite corner in the house, or even an extra place for your children or your guests. Depending on your attics’ space and on your own personal taste, you can finally have an attic that fulfils your needs.

An inexpensive way to create additional storage space in your new home is to use attic trusses instead of conventional "common trusses". Most modern homes that are built today use a common truss that doesn't really leave any usable space for storage. Older homes were framed using rafters and collar ties leaving significant attic space. Trusses are much more cost effective today and their use is considered the standard today.One way to get the best of both worlds is to specify an attic truss. Trusses can be designed to produce an open attic as shown in the picture. We specified attic trusses and ended up with a storage area in the attic that is approximately 48' long by 18' wide. As you can see we put a layer of plywood down to create a very nice storage room. Typically this type of upgra

According to police, the body of an 11-month-old girl that had been reported missing was found dead in the attic of her parents’ home. Police said that the girl, Harmony Jude Creech, had been dead for several weeks, and that her mother, Johni Michelle Heuser, put the girl in the attic after she found her dead in the baby crib.
The girl wasn’t reported missing until her father, Ronald Earl Creech II, came home from a 15 month deployment in Iraq to see his daughter. Harnett County Sheriff Larry Rollins said that Creech was picked up by his mother at the Pope Air Force Base and taken to his daughter’s home close to Spring Lake. When they got there they found that the baby was missing.
Immediately and Amber Alert was issued, and as a result police later discovered the baby was placed in the attack. Investigation is still underway, and an autopsy on the girl will be performed to try and determine exactly how she died.

BOO!Did I startle you? I know you weren't expecting two contests back to back first thing in the morning! But hey... gotta keep rolling them out!I am SO excited about this one. (Does the authenticity of that phrase go down with each utterance of it? I hope not because I am completely and totally 100% serious!) Annie's Attic is the Etsy shop of one very capable seamstress named Lee Ann. Lee Ann has an incredible eye for style. She knows how to pick the best fabrics. She knows how to mix and match them. She knows what is going to make the eyes of the seasoned apron connoisseur just about pop out of her head. When I first saw these aprons I think the neighbors could probably hear my exclamations of, "How CUTE!!"I love the bright cheerful colors on this polka-dotty one...This one just exudes class. Annie specializes in "shabby chic" and she manages to do so in such a way where all of her aprons are heavily weighted on the chic side of the equation!I love cherries!I think if I h

“Australia’s favorite insulation… PINK BATTS™ really make a difference to how your home feels all year around. They act as the ultimate barrier to heat entering your home during those hot summers, or being lost to the outside during chilly winters.”

An upstate New York couple didn’t think a few bats in the attic were much of a problem when they were buying a house last summer….An exterminator says hundreds of bats had been living in the attic, leaving behind 3,500 pounds of droppings. (AP)
How dumb do you have to be to not wonder about where all those animals are taking a dump if your house has more bats than your typical B-Movie Transylvanian Castle.

With Dupont's recent release of their Dupont (TM) Tyvek (R) Attic Wrap (TM), today's builder is armed with one more energy-saving tool to differentiate themselves from other builders.Without going into too much detail about the mechanics, methods and materials of Dupont's Attic Wrap, suffice it to say, it is similar in use and function to other Tyvek weatherization products . . . but specifically designed for roofing systems as a semi-permeable barrier to keep attics warmer in winter and cooler in summer.Attic Wrap, installed across the top of roof rafters (beneath roof decking), has a metalized surface that reflects heat, while also serving as a breathable membrane to allow moisture release. By creating a sealed space with less air movement, it reduces air flow through the insulation and the attic -- thereby cutting down on loss of conditioned air from the house, and the infiltration of attic air back into living space.
