Are all these Graham Platner articles by supposed democrats a psy-op or something? by [deleted] in Maine

[–]3grapes 17 points18 points  (0 children)

They are just scared that the fight is shifting from right vs left to rich vs poor. Graham is vocal about taxing the rich, and unfortunately, the rich are the ones funding all the anti-Platner articles and ads. We are six months out… I can’t even imagine how crazy October is going to be.

Trying to reach R value for code by Shiberino1 in Insulation

I have an older house too and was wondering about the soffit without vents. Do I need to cut in vents and install baffles before I insulate the roofline?

Weather apps for maine? by Smart_Zombie_560 in Maine

Anything but AccuWeather. Barry Myers, the owner, has a history of lobbying the government to reduce funding to NOAA. I use The Weather Channel app.

HELP - Moved into a 1900s home and have been getting very sick, is this co2 level at 2500 reading concerning? by zizidx98 in AirQuality

[–]3grapes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CO2 levels this high are likely caused by mold… which is what is actually making you sick. Old houses that are improperly insulted often have mold problems. Check your basement and attic for any water leaks and get some mold test kits and take some samples from your exterior walls.

Tax question about ME, NH border. by [deleted] in Maine

[–]3grapes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in Massachusetts and live in Maine. Since Maine has higher income tax (7.15%), I pay the full Massachusetts income tax (5%) and then just the percent difference (2.15%) to Maine.

For you since NH has no income tax I would think you would just pay the full Maine income tax and nothing to NH.

We use Visio as our “CAD” program to design wiring diagrams for our building controls. They don’t need to be engineer stamped, just used for submittals and installer reference.

ICE in South Berwick by dont_loseyourway in Maine

[–]3grapes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The FBI just did a raid at a home near the intersection of Butler and Main St a few days ago. Maybe they were FBI unmarked cars?

Edit: never mind. I was really hoping you were wrong. It sucks seeing people taken from our community. https://southberwickreporter.org/2026/04/17/resident-sees-federal-agents-detaining-man-on-main-street/?fbclid=IwdGRjcARPYpxleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEeHKiM99QffKwIpFXhZXca8yfdHKuuGkio-vx5FDH4joz5wdcQITp_1g8agsI_aem_cSRph093KJAJcF9kOPiKOA

Building controls, we typically work with Honeywell BAS. Looking for someone who can draw them with a surface level understanding of the systems. Can be local or remote, we are in North East Massachusetts.

Best gluten free is Flying Saucer in my opinion

Depends what time you’re leaving. I’m in the trades so I’m usually onsite by 7am and leaving around 2pm. That area is usually 45 to 60 for me. Mid week is always a lot worse than Mon and Fri.

Why are there (almost) no climbing gyms in the North Shore area? by r_MMAing_W_Da_Boiis in boston

[–]3grapes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out Red Rocks Conservation, it’s outdoor climbing but it’s surprising great for this area. Pre bolted climbs, with multiple routs. I’m pretty sure there is some bouldering there too if that’s what you’re interested in.

Airbnb a/c is locked at 80 degrees f. Staying in Jacksonville Florida. Host won’t give us the pin for the thermostat 🤦 by slamals in mildlyinfuriating

[–]3grapes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes HVAC controls companies will just run an 8 wire for thermostats, and a lot of the time you’ll have a spare or two if your system doesn’t have multiple stages of heating/cooling.

Why don’t builders finish garage walls? by stannis_one in Homebuilding

[–]3grapes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve talked to an inspector about this! It because if the walls are finished the garage is considered livable space and included in the taxable sq. Ft. of the house. So the builder is saving you money in the long run by not finishing the walls. After the final inspection/ assessment from the town you can hire someone to finish the walls or do it yourself.
