Last year, we didn't use the cooling function of our mini splits after the last week of September. We used them for heating until November when it dropped to freezing regularly. That's when I got the boiler rolling.
Must have missed it if you answered before. Is this a steam system again or recirculating hot water?Detroit wrote: ↑Sun Aug 12, 2018 9:29 pmLast year, we didn't use the cooling function of our mini splits after the last week of September.

The new house will need to get the boiler going sooner probably.

You should really plan some relaxation time. Take the dog on a hike, go mountain biking, go wine tasting, visit a distillery, idk something. Because it's not going to get much easier when you get in the new place and the pinshitting/nesting immediately starts.
Working on a massive project at work, my first in my new role that in a sense could make or break my year (maybe even all my time in this role) I’ve put immense pressure on myself to execute flawlessly, and that’s driving a lot of the stress, maybe unnecessarily. It’ll be mostly done by the beginning of September, so I can handle moving and pinshit nesting then. We were going to take all of next week off for vacation, but paired it down to just Monday and Tuesday because of all the shit going on.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Mon Aug 13, 2018 7:26 amYou should really plan some relaxation time.

New house looks really nice man. Looks bigger, bigger yard, etc. I liked Bag End's porch situation, that was pretty killer. But this has much upgrade potential yet looks like it's still move-in ready. Congratulations!

Bought this:

We both love it, the yard, the area, etc. Its our “dream house” or whatever
Pro photos taken of Bag End this morning. Listing tonight with an open house tomorrow. Let’s see how fast it moves.

Where I get lost is the following:
1. Real Employment. Most of this forum is knocking out $70K plus. Where are you going to replace that in these kinds of places short of opening a bar/restarant which will require you to have $300K+ just laying around. Brad, you have crotchfruit, so your ability to just say fuck it and cook with propane is more limited than everyone else.
2. It may be great to visit, but what happens when you really start interacting with your neighbors? Most of you guys are well edcuated atheist liberals or libertarians, and I'm not sure how much you're going to have to discuss with the local population.
Just saying. If you want mountains, you might consider the Rocky Mountains? At least those states offer a fair number of jobs in the oil/gas industry.

This East-of-the-Mississippian would/could not live in country for the reasons you listed above, among others.

Cost of living there is a fraction of here with regards to housing, so I could take a 50% pay cut and still afford a comfortable lifestyle and decent house. Might not be custom potfiller plaza, but dry climate controlled place to sleep.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Mon Aug 13, 2018 11:57 amSuch as?
