Sorry you're going through this. FWIW you may get a bit of a rebate on your taxes when you do them next year. I mentioned elsewhere here that we got $600 for our $7600 boiler. You're likely going to be eligible for much more. The efficiency threshold to get the rebate was pretty attainable, too.

Wait, you mean your :haus: originally had radiators but they were removed and replaced by your current system? :wtf: That sounds pretty unnecessarily complicated when simple rads fed by a simple boiler work just fine.

Accidentally made a coworker look absolutely stupid. Whoops. Got an email from boss with a few people on copy: “Hey Brandon, OWP team is swamped, can you help out and work these two actions for them?” Looked at the actions, super simple, adding funding to existing lines of an incrementally funded c...

:dat: 30 years is boiler life span, not furnace. Fortunately, our boiler pissed the bed (sprung a non-fixable leak) in the summer so we weren't under pressure to replace immediately. Fuck me if it happened in December. You have a similar advantage, JP. Do it right, while you're not stressing about ...

Pricing is better now than it would be in the middle of the summer. I dunno man. Do it on a more emergent basis or do it before you’re up shit creek.

Interesting commentary on the bridge here. Pretty wild stuff, did they find anyone that was lost in the water? Is it actually true that the US hasn’t built any major bridges in decades or is that just :fax: stuff? " :fax: " This beauty was built in 2010: https://www.tylin.com/sites/defaul...

Found out that our new boiler that we had installed last summer is efficient enough to qualify for a $600 rebate from .gov.
