Re: Questions about dryer lint under subfloors...

Our dryer is on an interior wall, but using one bend isnt going to be a problem. I'm more thinking of ways to keep it up off the ground. I just measured where the dryer back is to wall is, and that's about 5.5 feet, roughly 6 when you add in the exterior wall. Is there any good way to to hold the pi...

Re: Questions about dryer lint under subfloors...

I've got it about 10' from the sink, I use a Python for water changes and just drain it outside, away from the house :) I tell all the people on my fish forum that water (besides fire) is the enemy. Buckets got old very fast when I had a 60gal, 2 20's, 4 10's and 5 1gal tanks. I would spend 6 hours ...

I get what you guys are saying, I am going to go over kill on added support. Just in case. Otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night. I still need to go under there and see what I'm dealing with. Bit difficult with a 2 1/2 yr old and a 5 month old :) I think Saturday is the day that works, the fis...

RE: What to use for added floor support?

Thanks, although, sadly now I am more confused :oops: I did try doing a search for posts by Rickd, and had no luck finding anything, other than his update on how hes been.

What to use for added floor support?

I've read most of the posts on adding extra support under the house, but my question that I had wasn't really answered. I am putting a 125gal aquarium in, and was wondering what type of material should be used to reinforce the floors. My boyfriend(Steve) and I are kind of debating on it. The cheapes...
