An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

The old ones were pretty old and didn't work well so I'm getting new ones installed. It was on the pricier side of things but It'll be ok, I think. It's pretty noisy but that's no issue to me. The fellas are nice and they're working quicker than I thought they would.

Update: They did a good job and my house doesn't sound drafty all the time anymore.

We just had new carpet installed a couple weeks ago and the contractors worked way harder and faster than I expected. Did 6 rooms (about 1800sqft) in one day. Well worth the disruption to the house.

Triple pane? When we built our home a few years back I experienced the upgrade from 1990s double pane to triple pane and it was the best thing to happen to noise insulation since ANC headphones.

I believe they are just the double pane but they're a big upgrade to the single panes I had which were the originals from the 70s.

Half double hung and the other half are the wider gliding windows. Also a new slider door.
