I built my first shed myself. (Used as a pool house) it was a lot of work. Off and on work on weekends took most of the summer. I bought a reeds ferry last year (10x20) Good quality. I build the base myself , to save money, using their specifications. 4x4 pressure treat with gravel for drainage. I’m happy with the shed . Went up in a day. They pre-build most of it and assemble on site. I think 7k for the shed and another 300 for the base

I’ve never had an issue.

Worcester has a cat iii ILS landing system on runway 11 which allows planes to land in very low visibility but only if the wind is from the east. Most of the time, the wind in this area is from the west and that runway (29) does not have the same landing system so planes can't land in extremely low visibility. Unfortunately, due to the geography of the hill it Is built on it is difficult or impossible to make runway 29 cat iii.

I'm not this kind of pilot, but I'm pretty sure the issue is that ILS landing equipment in Worcester has been broken for months, so the plane OP needs is still in New York.

Here's the plane I think they intended to use: on Flightaware .

I have no idea how to link NOTAMs but they were issued on 8/10 and appear active...

I have no idea why they're not fixing it or if this is a typical turn around time for this sort of repair.

EDIT: Oh man, it's literally the same flight as when this last came up.

there are a lot of homeless here that you can hang out with, maybe you could try to organize some of them into a labor gang

don't complain about the accessibility or usefulness of local transit if you don't want the local transit otakus to get on your ass. you're supposed to be thankful for the fact that floridians deign to visit our fair city.

Skips, definitely. Same quality as the reeds ferry crowd but less expensive. They make really good stuff.

I had a late flight from jfk to orh cancelled thanks to weather delays and ended up stuck in the terminal overnight. Never again will I fly from Worcester.

Minado is good simply for the all you can eat sushi. There used to (like 20 years ago) be a place in Natick, further up Route 9 towards Framingham, called Pacific Buffet, that was amazing. But then they ended up closing and now it’s a furniture store.

Really disappointing.

Boston and Worcester are both showing a visibility of 0.00 miles right now, I'm guessing Logan has more expensive equipment allowing take offs in this pea soup.

With a direct bus trip to Logan it would add another 60-90 minutes from ORH. At that point you're missing your early meeting anyways.

ORH is a failure it is always fogged in and not enough flights

There's plenty of technology that will allow you to participate virtually in your Very Important Business Meeting without the waste of jet fuel. As a bonus you'll avoid the crushing indignity of the occasional canceled flight.

Yep. Dave does a ton of business. Other realtors can't stand him. Jealous.

No kidding! I live nearby and haven’t been their in like 15 years. Do they have sushi?

Fellow chair user here. As you know, having a ramp and having a ramp that works and a driver who knows how to tie down a chair are two very different things. This is very true for the WRTA, who has yet to be sued within an inch of its life for ADA violations unlike the MBTA.

Para transit is for residents only with paperwork on file signed by a doc. So if you are visiting, it'll be a no-go for you. Like most paratransits, it is also trash.

This was right down the street from me and the police said there's no reason to worry, while having no suspects and no idea where to begin

Fair enough, I would say that qualitatively one would expect higher crime rates in larger cities, just by virtue of their density (and the somewhat greater concentration of poverty, drug dealing, etc.). Relative to crime rates in other major cities in MA, we aren't really an outlier. If you just want to look at how often we hear about crimes, then yes the absolute number comes into play, and we are on the high end because of population (still better than Springfield which has fewer people).

Of course, make sure to thank your bus driver!

More specifically, my point was that saying it’s number 10 even though it’s the second largest city is misleading. The size of the city isn’t relevant to per capita numbers.

Here's information from the WRTA's website regarding the bus accessibility. https://www.therta.com/elderly-and-disabled/accessibility-at-the-wrta/

And they also offer complimentary paratransit service that allows for more direct service (these do have to be reserved ahead of time though) https://www.wrtaparatransit.com/access-ada-complementary-paratransit-service.htm

Thank you!
