Sorens has given numerous talks on zoning and town planning. If you can look past the fact he is a freestater and look at his ideas he's actually very much overqualified for this position.

Thanks!

Sounds like someone planted an irrational fear in you.

I hike and camp maybe 10x a summer, for years.

Live in rural area.

My family averages maybe 1-2 ticks a year found crawling, in past 10 years maybe 1-2 ticks embedded.

Keep the yard clean, if possible remove oak trees from property (feel like the acorns bring more mice/chipmunks/squirrels around)

We don’t spray the yard, and only spray picardin/permethrin when hiking

Edit: most of the ticks we find seem to come from a day at the park/playground/ ball field.

I could have sworn there's one that meets at Proctor academy in the summer

Yeah true. Not just wood. Everything. Family owns a construction company. Sure, framing is just a part of the equation. But that's not even all the wood you need (floor joists...etc). That also ignores the fact that Steel, copper and the labor to install it all went up as well. Conservative estimates would put the price increase of materials at least around 25-30% post-pandemic. Service prices are even higher.

I probably singled out wood above because of the FAST and FURIOUS memes people were posting about lumber trucks. But it's only part of the equation.

Assuming an ADU is an acronym for an in law apartment.

(Edit: a few words)

And the monkey sounds!

The first time I heard one was at 5am once and I was going to call 911. My fiancé had to explain it wasn’t a person.

okay just in case there is someone here that needs a place to shower and shave I would happily give you the guest pass to my gym. everybody goes through hard times, feel free to reach out (Dover/Rochester)

You're best off buying from Sweetwater most guitar stores have a stupid high markup, but that's just my opinion I'm sure someone will post with a good option I never set foot in stores.

I don't know how much you're into guitars, but if your brother lives in a different state that is warmer than NH than he's going to need to let his guitar sit in its case for a minimum of a day or more, because depending on the finish it can do something called "checking". It's when the finish cracks due to expanding and contracting for old vintage guitars it looks great and I don't mind buying one, but if it's brand new and has a finish that isn't a polyurethane like nitrocellulose you run the risk of it cracking if it has drastic changes in temperature.

I've lived all over, so sometimes my gear came from the east coast during winter to AZ where it's was 75 in February, so I've had to be cautious.

People been checking their watches for 3 years now talking about a crash that’s impending.

Manchester music mill has a ton of great gear. Buy the tokai love rock they have and save some $ on a much better LP

The yelp of joy someone lets out when they get a perfect parking spot in Portsmouth

Loons on a foggy morning as you enjoy your coffee while sitting on the back porch overlooking the Connecticut river.

Honestly I think it's what people want at this point, minus the lack of AC and shared toilets. Seems like the attempt to dress places up like quasi luxury is just causing higher prices.

Yeah, it's hard to describe the clump hitting the ground noise. Especially on fresh snow, it's a somewhat crunch and dull this all at once

Who cooks for you?

redditmetis is also a fun one to hit up when you find these kinds of users.

I used to smoke and I have no idea how those cigarettes became as expensive as brands like American Spirits and Nat Shermans.

There will be no “crash” without a catastrophic event. We won’t see anything like 2008-9 again.

That poor soul was another poor soul that probably lost everything for their messiah.

Thinly disguised. You gotta love his creativity! LoL

Safer to just put a ⭕️ around all of Rochester.

I don’t know how they stay in business considering most people don’t really pay for porn outside of cam women and most people buy their toys online from places like Amazon or Adam & Eve.

> Hire out or spray yard yourself? And does spraying make a big difference? Cost of hiring out? -Tick tubes seem to have an effect. How about mouse traps for the mice that apparently help spread Lyme?

For your curtilage, it's easy enough to do your own spraying, I use a pyrethroid for the yard and non-edible garden plants.

> Materials for tick barriers? Cedar mulch, lavender plants, and other plants that “repel” ticks…is there truth to these working?

The best way to keep ticks down is to reduce their habitat and drive away the animals (rodents and deer mostly) which carry Lyme.

Ticks prefer to live in moist and humid environments. So leaf litter and damp mulch is ideal for them.

> How about mouse traps for the mice that apparently help spread Lyme?

Haven't found many outdoor-rated rodent traps to be reliable and low-maintenance
