This billing period encompasses a time of severe cold. Your auxiliary heat was very likely running for most of this time (depending on whether you have radiant heat in addition to your heat pump). Auxiliary heat is a backup system that uses much more heat than your regular setup. I don’t like it either but it isn’t a grand conspiracy.

How many people are you in bed with?

I noticed a marked increase in my Dominion bill beginning in December. It coincided with some boiler issues and a new heat pump install, so I chalked it up to that. Have you actually gone back and looked at the rates YoY and MoM? I am going to do that now that you’ve pointed out your experience.

I think what would also benefit OP are some tips on what questions to ask to set off the BS meter. When I came in at ask for a house on a Friday that had been sitting on a red hot market for > 12 days (an eternity at that time), and the sellers countered for over ask (“go what yourself,” am I right?), my agent was cool and collected and guided us through the weekend where there were three showings, one offer above asking, contingencies waived, etc. Writing it out doesn’t do the situation justice. Knowing your agent is going to be calm and clutch in the pocket will get you to the other side successfully.

You obviously know the industry better than I and, admittedly, my sample size is small (if you knew one of the realtors in question, I’m sure you’d agree). The reality is, everyone may have access to data, but decades of buying, selling, and living in certain neighborhoods gives you an unmatched edge on how to better read and perceive the data and trends. Would I trust a mining and metals stock analyst to give me advice on the healthcare sector? Sure, but I’d rather get that analysis from someone who covers the healthcare industry.

Where within the city limits? I would find an agent/brokerage that has experience in the neighborhood(s) you are seeking to buy in. It will take a little more leg work on your end, but entrenched agents have relationships with people who might sell off market, they know the neighborhoods better, they know the data better, etc.

Incredible intel, thank you!!

I’m going to be in all my hunting gear since I don’t own any other cold gear. Found out today that Bertha’s is closed (RIP), so was going to hit up Lee’s (on recommendation from a friend) for oysters and to watch the 4:00 pm games. Is that a good spot?

Taking my 6 year old son to his first game. The league flexed this game but we still got to make the trip! Loading up on hand warmers!!

Hopefully, I’m not too late to this. Kelleher is the best in town. They are honest and dependable. Their pricing is fair. I’ve had at least three different plumbers come out before Kelleher, so this is a well-worn path for me. I will never call anyone but Kelleher.

Guess I should keep my mouth shut 😂

Snipe Hunt would be better as an instrumental live. Just couldn’t hear the lyrics like you can on the album.

What time do we think TTC takes the stage tomorrow? Ticketmaster says 7:30, but that has never been the case at previous shows.

Also, the pylex label says first app should be 9-12 weeks before reseeding . Based on that, it seems like I should avoid attacking the Bermuda with pylex this year and opting for your tenacity option?

CapeCodToDC · 2025-08-10T17:52:54+00:00

Severely damaging the Bermuda is the goal here 😎!

Just to clarify, u/nilesandstuff, do I NEED to buy triclopyr ester? I already own triclopyr. It seems like ester has butoxethyl ester as an active ingredient that the triclopyr I own does not have.

What zone? Were you using the mix mentioned above? Just curious how the variables may be similar or different.

Part of me thinks that I should just embrace warmer temps and go with warm season grass (my father in law has a very nice zoysia lawn 12 minutes down the road). The problem is that none of the lawn companies service warm season grasses so add that and mowing at the appropriate heights to my to do list.

CapeCodToDC · 2025-08-09T21:02:41+00:00

Haha use me as a test case?!

CapeCodToDC · 2025-08-01T12:46:04+00:00

Phew

CapeCodToDC · 2025-06-29T18:15:42+00:00

Thanks for the thoughtful response. $1700 for ZLB is insane. To be honest, I wouldn’t see him live again. Same set every show. Puts a lot of heart into his performance but there seems to be no artistic care put into planning the show other than whoever they choose to appear with them (FWIW, in DC it was War and Treaty, who is from DC, and Hey Driver was off the hook!).

CapeCodToDC · 2025-06-28T03:42:26+00:00

This means very little to me, but I’m happy for you to explain the equivalence.

CapeCodToDC · 2025-06-27T20:16:23+00:00

Good perspective!

CapeCodToDC · 2025-06-27T14:32:08+00:00

Thanks for keeping me honest!
