Daily Home Renovation Tips每日家裝修秘訣

Summer time is here and with it hot temperatures and humid air.夏令時間是在這裡和與它炎熱和潮濕的空氣。 Even with our甚至與我們的 turbine vents渦輪噴口 on the roof helping to get rid of the rising hot air in the house and our在屋頂上幫助擺脫上升的熱空氣在眾議院中和我們 exterior solar blinds外部太陽能百葉窗 helping to reduce the direct sun light from overheating our home, we still need to use the air conditioner.幫助減少直接陽光從經濟過熱，我們的家，我們仍然需要使用空調。

One of our daughters lives in our basement.我們的一個女兒住在我們的地下室。 Her bedroom had the requisite vent in the drop ceiling.她的臥室有必要發洩在下拉的上限。 This of course is a good thing in the winter for hot air from the furnace.這當然是一件好事，在冬季的熱空氣從爐。 But, in the summer the last thing she needs is cold air conditioned air coming out of the vent into the room that is naturally cool.但是，在今年夏天的最後一件事，她需要的是冷空調，空氣中走出來的通風口進入房間，自然是很酷。

So, I went to close the vent and discovered that the prior owners of our house had installed the vent covers with wire.所以，我去了密切的通風口，發現事先的業主我們家安裝了通風口，包括用電線。 What I mean is that they had installed stiff wire running through the duct work at each end of the vent opening.我的意思是，他們已安裝的激烈線貫穿膽管工作在每個月底，通風口的開放。 This stiff wire was then tied to the vent cover’s grill.這剛性線，然後綁在發洩涵蓋的燒烤。

Yes, this was an effective way to hang the vent cover.是的，這是一個有效途徑坑通風口的封面。 But, this wire prevented the vent cover’s interior ‘flaps’ from closing.但是，這絲阻止發洩包括內部的'瓣'從閉幕。 The result was that there was no way to close the vent cover and prevent the cold air conditioned air from entering an already cool room.其結果是，有沒有辦法關閉通風口的封面和防止冷空調的空氣從已經進入了一個冷靜的空間。

We needed a new solution.我們需要一個新的解決方案。

Sure we would replace the current vent cover with one that was actually meant to go in a basement ceiling.相信我們會取代目前的發洩包括與一，這是實際上的意思去在一個地下室的上限。 You know the kind, the one that has a hole for a screw on either end, and the one whose packaging says it is a ‘Ciling Register’, just like this one?你知道什麼樣，一個有一個洞，一個螺絲釘就的兩端，以及一，其包裝說，這是一個' ciling註冊' ，就像這一個呢？

However, those screw holes  are great to use in a drywall ceiling.然而，這些螺絲孔都是偉大的使用在一個drywall上限。 Just use a drywall plug.只需使用一drywall堵塞。 But have you ever tried to use one a drywall plug / anchor in a crip ceiling tile?但您是否曾經試圖用1 1 drywall ，插頭/錨在一個crip上限瓷磚？

Doesn’t work, for very long, does it.不工作，很長，是否。

Come back tomorrow when we tell you the solution we used to see if it might work for you as well.明天回來時，我們會告訴您，解決我們所用，看看是否有可能為您工作，以及。 This situation has always puzzled me for years and every time I would go to a building supply retail store it seemed to confuse them as well.這種情況一直困惑我多年，每一次我會去一個大廈供應的零售商店，它似乎混淆他們以及。 Now, at least I have one way that will actually let the vent cover close when you need it to close.現在，至少我有一個方式，其實是讓發洩包括關閉當您需要關閉。
