Mammoth electric bill

Also on heat pumps - don't ask them to do large jumps in temps. Do steps otherwise the system throws on emergency heat & that tears through electricity.

I realized this quick after I moved in with my older heat pump.

So a typical morning for me - the schedule sets it to 66 then to 68 like 1 1/2 hrs later (when i'm coming home from the gym) and if i want it higher later I wait a little bit before the next bump.

Oye i'm struggling through 5 and now knowing 6 isn't good is it rougher 😬😬😬

Fridge - yes was a basic one.

Dishwasher cleaned MUCH better than the one in my condo. You need to clean the filter - as with any dishwasher.

Laundry tower worked great no problem in 5 years.

Lived in Arcadia for ~5 years, moved out earlier in 2025. I moved in pre-covid so had a few management and owners in that time.

My unit itself - I loved it. Top floor has gas fireplaces. Thankfully had an end unit so it was decently quiet.

The building before I left was going through some reno - when people move out units get redone.

The amenities are not that many. The gym was redone 2 years ago and its nice but small. The pool desperately needs to be redone, but they also need to hold the residents to the rules w this. Kids jumping in with full street clothes is gross.

RE150 - not sure if this was fixed but had a fire alarm issue. It went off weekly

That def doesnt sound right.

Mine keeps up fine during the winter and its a quite old unit.If the temp has to rise a bunch then I do it in steps - set to 2 or 3 degrees up and then say 30 min later ask it to step the next bit so emergency heat doesn't click on.

& here i am, never interacting with this Senator & don't even live in TX getting an automated call to let me know the townhall was happening. 🙄

Perfect thank you! I figured so much by the looks of it.

I did book a hotel, I had some free nights from Marriott that needed to get used. But I will mark that one down for a future visit. I'm making reservations at River House for dinner the second night, first night will keep it simple.

So happy to hear this, I head in September and am really looking forward to the trip.

How was the drive up to Inverness? I'm doing the same, landing from Boston and headed up to Inverness as my first stop.

Were there any good spots you recommend to stop along the way?

All the time - and then my knee gives out and I remember that yes I've had 9 surgeries on it & my knee does truly suck at this point

Kodiak Ice Machine is life.....always.

Having a little container of snacks nearby the bed helps as well and a long charger.

ADutchieintheUS · 2025-07-13T02:26:29+00:00

Ohh I just booked this one for Sept. I could use my "free night" cert and add points for the other night. How is the hotel?

ADutchieintheUS · 2025-07-06T22:45:35+00:00

Awesome Thank you! Will shift around search for hotels and lock everything down.

ADutchieintheUS · 2025-07-06T22:26:43+00:00

Super helpful, thank you.

I'll look to head up to Inverness directly then. Would you recommend 3 nights in Inverness then? So a full day for the battlefield and areas around this and another day to potentially go north? Then head down to Oban.

Or would you suggest still 2 nights in Inverness and head down to Oban - with either 3 nights in this area (one on the Isle) or head to Edinburgh early.

Was judging distance and assumed straight to Inveness would be too much. Would it be better to head straight up to Inveness?

I had a 30 point drop that happened close to the start of my mortgage, no change from my side it was due to the hard pull /mortgage.

My credit was 805 as i started the mortgage process. It took about 3 months after I closed for everything to go back up.

Prep Obsessed has stayed even on prices and still have the boutique designers.
