  1. https://www.onthesnow.com/new-york/whiteface-mountain-resort/historical-snowfall.html https://www.onthesnow.com/vermont/stowe-mountain-resort/historical-snowfall.html stowe averages about 50” more over the last decade based upon this data.
  2. Just back from Pocasset looking at potential project. Man it is foggy out. Murky/mank.
  3. You can pull a Building Permit as a homeowner but the cost is pro-rated to the cost of construction
  4. You can replace a fixture or outlet in MA but if you're running new wire and such, you need to pull a permit for that work, so there is oversight there. You're also entering an area where if you're a homeowner and you're not pulling all the proper permits for you, you may nullify a homeowners policy. It's best to hire professionals or ask the local jurisdiction what you can/cannot do own your own and with/without permits.
  5. It is indeed illegal to do your own plumbing. https://www.mass.gov/doc/plumbers-and-gas-fitters-consumer-fact-sheet/download While we call them outdoor Showers, they're technically Rinsing Stations and cannot tie into the homes septic system. That would be a Title V violation. They have to drain into the ground. You're also not supposed to be using soap in them.
  6. I think Oak leaves would survive a nuclear winter the way they reman on the trees all winter.
  7. Not very UHI for a city of 60K, where I live. More trees than pavement/buildings.
  8. I'm with Scott. I like a dry house, so I'll run my central air for that if not the temp. Love my house to be 70F with RH just at or below 50%.
  9. But it wasn't 90F+ everyday. We had a period of torch for about 4 days towards end of August. The entire month was not like that but had above normal temps and dews overall. The month ended above solidly above normal, but not a torch. All I'm saying it's its right back to that solidly above normal regime over last several days and we are now above normal on the month, so not much of a change in my book.
