  1. I turned the heat back on earlier today. It’s really looking lush out there, we’ll below 2500’.
  2. Just received a quarter inch or rain and the temp dropped to 47° Glory days!
  3. I saw that but haven’t really investigated it. I can’t believe how quiet it is. I’m pretty happy about the $100 rebate coming too.
  4. Yeah, postponed golf tonight. Tomorrow night looks better
  5. Now that’s a real New England reaction. “Holy shit!” “What the ****”. Lol
  6. I can’t believe how quiet it is. I think it’s 42 decibels. Can’t seem to get it to connect to my wifi but it’s got a remote so I don’t absolutely need to use the app
  7. The Midea came a day early. Took me about an hour to get installed. It wasn’t too bad. Haven’t turned it on yet because I need a frigging extension cord. Of course the temp is down to 58° so I don’t really need it at the moment.
  8. We are going to use the 8K in our bedroom but our house is only about 1000 square feet and we leave the door open so it helps cool the entire house.
  9. My pws registered .59 overnight. I checked MPV and they didn’t have anything. I checked the pws around the corner from me and it had .61. Must have been the localized nature of the storms.
  10. Yikes, I’m becoming an old man just spouting random, thinly related replies to people.
  11. Some of it is the costs coming down and the technology getting better. It’s like everything else. When I was growing up, a trip to Burlington was sort of a big deal, now that’s a reasonable daily commute.
  12. When my my parents moved back down to southern Georgia in 1999 after 25 years up here, he said he had no idea how he grew up down there before air conditioning. He had been weakened by living up here.
  13. There are videos showing how to do it. I’m hoping it’s not too bad because I get frustrated easily too.
  14. It is pretty good. I think I paid $357 for the AC, including tax so its a pretty decent percentage of the purchase price for this unit. It's funded by an "Energy Efficiency Charge" on our power bills. So I guess I'm just getting some of my money back. I think I got a $50 or $75 rebate when I bought an Energy Star rated dishwasher too.
  15. When I googled Midea U shaped AC it popped up at the top. The State of VT has a utility company that is solely focused on energy efficiency. They give a pretty big range of rebates on appliances, HVAC products etc. I got an $800 rebate a few years ago when I installed a hybrid water heater.
  16. Was going to attempt that too but when I got home last night, my son showed the rare spark of teenage ambition and mowed without me asking. I guess I never told him my plan.
  17. I remember you posted a link a year or two ago. I think that was before you could actually get them. I’ve been planning on getting one ever since. I hope it lives up to the hype. The reviews are good.
  18. I just ordered one of these. It should be here Tuesday. I'm not ready to get mini-splits yet and this seems to be a better version of window AC unit. Plus it's eligible for a $100 rebate from the state's efficiency utility.
  19. I read this quickly and thought you said that you had emailed the Ukraine. I thought to myself "I think they're probably a bit too busy right now to get back to you."
  20. So you're telling me it's still worth something?
  21. 5 teeth?! Holy crap. That sucks. I have to have some periodontal work done and I’m not looking forward to it.
  22. That’s a pretty decent haul up Rt3 for you isn’t it? As for 45 acres, it’s pretty big in the context of forest fires up here, I think. I can’t remember a lot of bigger ones.
  23. Still nothing here. Spent a good part of each day outside this weekend doing work around the house and playing golf and its been bug free.
