1927 home. Mini-splits or CH/A?

2024.11.30 18:30 fayedelasflores 1927 home. Mini-splits or CH/A?

Hi all. I need advice on which setup is better for my house. Currently, I have window unit ACs, and am going on my second winter using plug-in radiators (original furnace which is now gas, no longer works - I won't go into it as I don't want to continue using that system.) This is kind of a long post, but I want to be sure I give enough detail so y'all can give me your best informed recommendation. Thank you in advance for bearing with me.
I've included a photo of the floorplan. I was going to do a better one, more to scale - but I figure/hope this is good enough.
Anyway, I'm in the final stage of securing a HELOC, and adequate heat is priority, as you might imagine. These heaters aren't cutting it - I'm already freezing, and it's not even "real" winter yet! I also worry about putting too much of a load on the current electrical, so I don't have them on high...
I've been inclined to do mini-splits as I'm kind of "house- rich/cash poor," and could do it piecemeal. Also, it's now just me, and I don't use the front and back bedrooms regularly; plus, I like the idea of on-demand heating and cooling by room, generally speaking.
Preferences aside, I don't know how well mini-splits would work, given that the house is very nearly split in half - it makes me think I'd end up having to do six separate splits, one for each main room? And I assume each has its own set of outdoor components? And then there's the long hallway, as well as the bathroom to consider (I loathe getting all sweaty in summefreezing my butt off in winter - right out of the shower.) Plus, the climate here might be a factor (see below.)
The breaker box itself has been updated to 150A (from a 1970s 50A that had no main shutoff - yikes!) and I had them add three new junctions (two in attic, one in basement.) House is currently mostly knob & tube, which normally wouldn't bother me; however, I'm suspicious of the "upgrades" that were made by the previous owner, so I'll be addressing that stat also... The new boxes aren't connected to the breaker yet; the electricians just connected the existing to the new box as we didn't have money to do more than that at the time. My plan is to run all new electrical, starting with what's needed for whatever heating and cooling system (and then going room-by-room/circuit-by-circuit - a topic I know is for a whole other s/) Sorry for that disjointed paragraph lol.
A few more details that might be helpful:
1.) 1530 sf of main living space 2.) Brick facade on balloon framing 3.) Plaster lathe walls with no insulation (handy for feeding new electrical, at least!) 4.) Basement 25%, crawlspace 75% (if I did CH/A, I'd run the ductwork under here vs the attic - see #9) 5.) Poorly insulated attic with fixed stairs 6.) More windows and doors than wallspace 7.) 9ft ceilings, also plaster 8.) Windows are original double-hung, single pane 9.) Memphis, TN. Very hot, very humid summers; wacky weather patterns resulting in bone-chilling ice storms every 3-4 years; winters are otherwise considered mild (but anything below 55F and I'm miserable!) 10.) Place is drafty as hell, but I'm working on it (then-husband and I paid cash, as-is. He works construction, and I'm super-handy - fixing the place up was moving right along until things went sideways. Stalled out since, but I'm ready to pick the to-do list back up!)
Thanks again for your help.

2024.11.30 18:30 Amrian_139 My dear family was never a family

I think I am suffering from some mental health disorder. I must be. Or else nobody could explain the strange events occurring to me. I have no living relatives expect my newly married husband. I loved him. Sorry,I love him. But some very simple things have been upon my nerves.
Our marriage was very simple as very few people attended. We moved in a new house. The first weird thing I noticed is our family was very much not that bonded. I don't know whether you can understand. Our family consists of me, my husband,his sister. We are residing in his house.
The woman he calls as sister looks like very much unrelated. I can easily say someone is adopted. They look not a bit related. But this is not the problem. My husband and his sister knows nothing abt each other. Once she was cooking a meal and added something which is not good with my husband's stomach. She says she forget it. I didn't let my nose in that matter anymore. I let it go.
Jay(husband) said they were orphans as their parents died in a tragic accident. I was speaking with Lily(sister) when she said that she can't stop worrying of her parents' whenever she see a pneumonia patient. I asked why. She looked at me like ,I am a stranger sitting in her house, saying that pneumonia killed her parents.
Now I am totally paranoid. Why would Jay lie on such a thing? Or Lily is a stranger in the family? On the same evening I heard both of them fighting and blaming each other for something.
On the next day I pressed the matter about Lily saying the wrong reason for her parents' death. Jay gave me a blank expression saying that she was not in her mind as she was tripping or something I am not a child to believe in that shit. Something is wrong with this family.
Some days later I asked some family photos of them. Jay deliberately avoided me when I asked that. There would be no phone call I would hear, but he went for speaking a call. Finally I demanded him to give something. He showed a photo after few hours which I am, now convinced, does not look a bit like my husband nor his sister .
I see two little young children. They are blonde, ofcourse,but nothing matches than anything that. Children do grow. But this is unnatural. How can their face changed like this.
Whenever I try to leave the house for anything Jay tries to stop me. He does all the shopping. He makes sure that I don't have any reasons to leave the house. Even if it's for a walk, he says that evening isn't safe or the weather isn't that good. I really don't know whether Im paranoid.
The weirdest part is whenever we have sex I feel like someone is watching us. I said it to my husband several times. But he never listens. But this time I finally proved it. While we were having sex, I stopped him in the middle, covered my body with a towel and opened the bedroom door to get Lily hearing us. She was scared that I found her.
My husband was genuinely shocked or that is what I believe. We had a fight to send her sister out of the house. I became mad and came to the other room. I was now very much disturbed with the activities of my husband and her so called sister.
Something was really off. I could feel it. And eerie,shady thing is going on my back. I can't complain it to authorities as nothing has been done illegal. But at that moment I thought of doing some strange thing.
I never really know about my husband's past. And he never opens up. So I started researching his name/face all over the internet to get some clues abour his life. It was really strange to search for someone's information about personal life when they are 24/7 with you. Nothing useful turned up.
Finally I used google lens to upload Jay's picture. At that time I didn't know it will give chills down my spine. I searched all the results. Nothing was related. I felt like I went to the end of the internet. When I decided to give up I saw something which made my blood froze. It was a news article of a car accident which killed young lovers. As I scrolled down I realised the young lovers they were speaking about is my dear husband and his sister who was dead 5 years ago in a secluded town,according to this news article.

I’m heading to Disney World soon, and I remembered that I thrifted this wonderful coat with Imperial/First Order vibes! Is it too cloak-like? I’ll leave it at home if it’s not likely to be allowed.

2024.11.30 18:30 vatothe0 Can I easily upgrade to the sync box from a TV backlight 3?

I have a TV Backlight 3 installed on a 65" TV but it's right next to a window which is hindering it's performance. I'm tired of closing and opening the blinds all the time. It also turns on every time I turn the lights on in the room.
Can I order this kit, reuse the LED strip I already have and possibly add the light bars? This kit is $50 less than the 65" TV kit and includes the extra lights.

2024.11.30 18:30 Glum_Turnip1178 How are you all handling conversations around your DB?

HLF here stuck in the cycle for the last 3-4 years where I’m lucky if it’s 2-3 times a year currently I think we’re sitting at about 6 months. I’ve tried bringing it up before that I’m feeling rejected lonely, and it makes me feel I attractive and like something is wrong with me, and then he’ll make some effort once, then it’s back to the same. I genuinely don’t think he is attracted to me anymore. I’m nothing like the girls he looks at on the internet. How are you all handling chats with your partners? Has anything worked. I don’t want to whine, but I also need him to understand how much it hurts me.

It’s both ugly AND busy so I’m not sure what to do about it! In person it looks a little darker than this. I feel like it totally distracts from everything else I try and do with the room. What type of rug wouldn’t look bizarre on top of the carpet?
