  • Thanks, I completely agree. It is beyond ugly.

    • Your first point: there is actually NO space above the support beam. Our HVAC guy grabbed a ladder and showed us. That beam is like 2-3 feet deep and goes all the way up. And they can’t cut through because we’re on a mountain and it has to support several hundred pounds of snow load.

    • There is truly nowhere else to put the ducting. We walked all through the area with the HVAC guy and suggested idea after idea and there is physically no other location to run it. Hiding it is the only option, as horrifying as it is, unless we tear out the entire new HVAC system (which we can’t do).




  • I second the flat shoes, also helped my knee pain. I also like my cervical neck device, which helps move tension out of the neck and back and can help with lower back pain. Don’t forget to check your chair or your mattress, too. My philosophy is to always invest money in the things that separate me from the ground. You can also work on strengthening your TVA to help support the lower back, as well.
