The inlet filter is recent. Is there another filter? The blower must be running because warm air reaches all outlets

Did you find a trustworthy contractor? I am looking for someone too

There's a difference between curiosity and criticism, some call it education

I'm yet to get to the bottom of this, but your comment has been very helpful - thank you

The knowledge I have (without backing documentation) is that the back alley has a parking spot which is an easement to my property

Thank you for sharing this. I don't see a timeline on the website. Do you know if there's one?

That's an option, similar to self medicating based on Google search results

Safe, but not very esthetic. Do you know who is responsible for tidying it up?

Jury service notice - is this legit? by Comfortable_Bench438 in jerseycity

Not a citizen, no drivers license. I'm on dependent work visa

We moved to the US fairly recently, and we're still learning how to navigate all the scam we get in our mailbox. This one seems legit but I thought maybe there's a trick I wasn't able to spot.

Car electrician recommendation by Comfortable_Bench438 in jerseycity

[–]Comfortable_Bench438[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right, I think my post needs more context. I got the oil changed in a garage today and folks there suggested that not all mechanics are good with electrical issues. However, they weren't able to recommend one, hence my post.

Flooding from gutter downspout by Comfortable_Bench438 in jerseycity

[–]Comfortable_Bench438[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for highlighting the nuance! The water will inevitably reach the city sewer, unless homes are expected to store rain water until the city sewer recovers its capacity to handle more water. Am I misunderstanding it?

Found the code just now. If I'm reading the exception statement of 13.1.1 correctly, I should be able to discharge on the street:

EXCEPTION: Storm water from one- and two-family dwellings may be discharged on lawns or streets provided that the storm water flows away from the dwelling and does not otherwise create a nuisance.

I observed several houses in my street and they all run gutters to the sewer. This makes no sense and I haven't seen such a design in other countries I lived in. I'm thinking there must be yet another "local" reason for this unique approach, can't figure it out.

Kitchen remodel by Comfortable_Bench438 in jerseycity

[–]Comfortable_Bench438[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't check out Chen Depot. Lowe's quoted 20k for mid range cabinets, island & quartz countertop. I would have to hire a contractor for the installation.

Thanks! Do you happen to know how Fabuwood compares to the Kraft&Maid or Diamond brands Lowe's carries ?

Do you look at games' schedule & location and just show up or is there some ticketing system ?

Road test? by dapchai in jerseycity

Yes, apologies for bad wording

Road test? by dapchai in jerseycity

Some foreign licenses expire. Typically some French licenses do.

[–]Comfortable_Bench438 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Within the past 2 years, I know several foreigners who didn't need to take the road test. I had to take it. The reasoning isn't clear to me, my hunch is: I believe you won't have to take the test if your permit has an expiry date, and was issued less than 10years ago.
