Keep in mind, this dude was doing $300 a month in electricity before the install and running a boiler with whatever fuel source that used per month.

I did the same cycle with oil as our primary heat for the first year here and switched over to a heat pump. We had a $200 a month electric bill in the winter with oil heat and a $400 a month bill using all electric heat pumps for the entire house the next year at the same time with similar weather. The cost of oil, assuming it hadn't gone up at all over that time, would have been double that electricity cost.

Wood stoves are cheapest, but require work. Pellets are easier, but still work.

A single pellet stove will burn a 40 lb bag of pellets in a day and use electricity to run the blower. That average's out and about $8 for one pellet stove to operate a day. You'd have to run fans or something throughout a large house to get the heat from a central location to your separate rooms. If you're using ducted fans then that's an extra electricity cost on top of the pellet heater. Assuming my heat pump runs constantly on a 0° day, it uses 48 KW a day. At CMP rates with their normal billing option, that is about 12 bucks a day. Thanks to CMP's new cost per kilowatt it is not the cheapest solution for house heat in Maine, but it will heat your entire 1600 square foot house.

2nd time in a year.
FINE the owner next time, because they do not know what they're doing.
This Gang of Thugs are going to get someone killed with owners negligent ranching.
If there's a fourth time, Bison Burgers.

Every time you do that, another newspaper reporter dies inside.

It’s gotten more tagger foot traffic than it ever did diners.

Cartographers just stopped exploring and drew random lines

it did when I went to see Tool at the waterfront. By the end, nobody was in their assigned seating.

Hogan Road Burger King has entered the chat.

I don't think you know what that means.

And you purport to not like drama, but you're making drama here in the comments.

I had a 2004 and they innovated on their innovation and ditched the tiny wipers in favor of a pair of high pressure jets for each lens. No tiny wipers to maintain and headlights that got washed when I sprayed the windshield!

So dramatic lol

Because I respect their wish to remain anonymous.

What’s the institution then?

I remember that. I also think there were people from the school actually helping in the search party. That was a tragic story.

Yes there is a lot of silly comments here. Probably attributed to too much television and a lack of real world exposure. It’s not top secret, there’s schools all over the country. I think before Cutler downsized it’s staff they used to offer training out there for the low frequency radio wave program. I also think in the episode of Bear Grylls doing survival in the Maine woods he made a reference to SERE school. But I suppose we can give folks in Rangeley something to be chatting about

I did say it.

Just say it then, no need to be so dramatic

Well, it's actually excellent authority. An insider at the institution in question.

Tried this with my two year old and ended up hitting a stop sign in a Walmart parking lot in Auburn.

It will be small and lame, this will be my first metal show not in the pit. Fuck, front row seated tickets where $150 each

Thanks, me too!

woosh

Every few years some dumbass goes out and adds their own blazes to some trails in Acadia. Last time I remember it happening they at least tried to somewhat match the blue used by Acadia. I don’t get it though, do they think they’re helping or something? It’s not like it’s random graffiti tags. In this picture you can see one of the Bates Cairns (which they also defaced with red paint) so it’s not like the trail is poorly marked.

Do they replenish those they cut down ethically?

I'm glad the damage wasn't worse!
