Was a little bit too cold here lately, so I suspended activities; but weather is improving so backing to work... I got the hvac rectangular stack taped on its joints with foil tape and used one sheet metal screw to afix a cleat that was protruding. After that I wrapped two sections of reflectixe insulation on the stack (one is loose and needs to be tapped), as shown below:
I dry fitted the register at the bottom to have an idea of how it would fit and look, and in this case there no extra 2x4 piece atop of the bottom plate but still the bottom of the register front cover is way above the subfloor/slab and I wish I could get it flush with the floor. So the idea would be to not use baseboard right below the register and have it flush with the floor (new floor would raise subfloor by less than 1/2"). Would there other registers with different front face sizes or other easy way to fix this?
