4700 across 2 floors and 2 1.5 ton units doing rather well. Need another 1 ton for the far end of a room to keep it cool not just ok (heat gain from windows). Cost me 3k to self install so far allready had a 200a panel and a decently big solar install. Running costs for heat have been sub 300 a month.

I do have oil baseboard for the OMG cold days used maybe 100g all winter.

Six roof racks attached to the rain channel. At least three straps holding the ladders onto the roof racks. Looks better than when I was in construction years ago and that would have been tied down with one strap. Nothing seems wrong to me. Looks like the trash barrels have a strap and are stuffed into the pump jacks. Surprisingly, the tail/brake lights are both working, too.

Had a young trooper try and give me grief about no front plate. Older cop walked up and barked at him that you dont need one if you need to alter your car to put it there. This was 15 years ago at an easter DUI checkpoint getting onto 84 at like 4pm. It's was a grand prix where you had to break out part of the front bumper to mount a plate the dealer did not put it on when I bought it new in 2000.

Tow hook mount, I have one so I didn't have to drill holes in the bumper. Cheap and effective.

The problem with getting ANYTHING done in this messed up country.

Public works used to be a source of National and community pride, a convenience and upgrade to the public, and a boon to the economy. Now it’s just an excuse for bureaucrats and contractors to get paid.

Sounds great, and then suddenly a one way ticket will cost $90. So much for commuting…

I have insurance. So by your logic, I can do 90 while using a laptop and weaving through heavy traffic?

Making it easier to live here but work in NYC would drive home and rent prices even higher. People who live and work in CT will be driven out by those able to pay more. But the state probably prefers having residents with higher income.

We desperately need better overall rail infrastructure, but for everybody.

Can’t. Not enforceable as the car isn’t registered in that state in this case.

There are some cars where there's not a good spot to put it. This is mostly an issue with performance cars, however, and the people that own them have the disposable income to effectively ignore the law.

Next on “This old house”

I agree with you about craziness of real estate industry! Thank you for your concern. However, we particulary choose the house because of the covered basement and liveable attic and both space have full bathrooms (we got a super good deal as well). I want to install AC in every space and that’s why I started it as 4600 sqft 😉

The things we do to avoid pulling a trailer on the parkway...

Dont piss off the officer or do something really bad and you wont worry. Never heard of anyone getting a ticket. I had a 92 firebird for like 5 years daily driven no front plate . Have had multiple other cars/trucks no front plate. But im also in the boonies.

Since when is 1980s an old house in New England…

No, if you support him, please go! And don't come back.

It's all good until he makes a sudden lane change and rolls.

I don't understand why people don't get them. Why give cops any more ammunition against you? Best way to fly under the radar is to do the little things that take zero effort.

Get central air and have the HVAC techs run ducts down from attic to rooms on second level and run your ductwork down through upstairs closets to get to the lower level. Very simple process that can be financed and will add immediate comfort and long term value.
