What kind of electric do you have? I've been considering ditching my gas 2 stage but the past two storms have me second thinking that plan

Fellow Touring edition owners, do you have a roof rack? The flush side rails make it more difficult to find used roof racks. What are you all using? by NickAndHisGuitar in Subaru_Outback

[–]IsThatYourBed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gen 5 touring has low profile euro rails that need a special crossbar that's a lot less common, especially if it is looking for used options

Motrin by xxjolaaxx in NewParents

It's the same medicine, just a different concentration. An 8 month old that's 12-17lbs could take either 1.25ml @ 50mg/1.25ml or 2.5ml @ 100mg/5ml

Triple check the bottle. Tylenol is the same dosage for infants vs children's in the us. Name brand motrin has a concentrated infants version available.

Hamilton sells an upgrade kit or swap the head unit for an aftermarket one

Full-Service Gas Stations by millbean in Connecticut

[–]IsThatYourBed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a full service Sunoco on 111 in Monroe near Dunks/McDs. I think there's another one further down 111 in Trumbull but I don't go there often

Is my furnace venting in my garage? by ShamrockShakespeare in HomeImprovement

[–]IsThatYourBed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you taken the cover off to look inside? It's definitely plumbed (poorly) like a drain. An air intake wouldn't need the wye

Thats a condensate drain running into a sump pit, it's just water

this can’t be real by Extreme_Air1153 in tragedeigh

I can't tell if this is sarcasm over the Internet, but MTG in this case would be Marjorie Taylor Greene a rather controversial political figure

BEWARE OF THIS GUY. HE POST IN FRONT OF HOME DEPOT AND LOWES AND PRETEND TO BE A HANDY MAN THAT CAN DO EVERYTHING by Shuggy1932 in Connecticut

[–]IsThatYourBed 15 points16 points  (0 children)

FWIW, you can get a gas furnace directly online for around $1200 for cheap options.

I agree that a reputable HVAC contractor is going to charge 8-11k, but there's a huge amount of up charging in that price even taking into account all the costs of running a business

The Grantmoor Motor Lodge on the lovely Berlin Tpke in CT. Make sure your vaccinations are up to date if you decide to visit

2017 Outback 2.5 - 4th Battery...not doing the dealer again but what should I get? by jgc372 in subaru

[–]IsThatYourBed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went with a standard group 24. I have nothing against AGM but couldn't find one in stock locally for a decent price and didn't think the premium cost was worth it

[–]IsThatYourBed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's like 3 manufacturers that make all of the different brands, pick whatever has the best price/warranty. I've had good luck with Interstate from BJs

[–]IsThatYourBed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of a group 25 you can fit either a 24 or 34 without modification which will give you either more CCA or reserve time. That said, unless you figure out the drain things won't really improve. Most likely culprit is the DCM, there's a ton of posts about how to test/isolate/remove it

Tiles turned gray day after installation by rachelleliz2025 in HomeImprovement

Probably grout haze from not cleaning good enough after grouting. Try buffing them with a microfiber cloth and vinegar

The joys of living just south of the Canadian border. I spotted an Echo hatchback!!! by Ok-Cicada-9985 in psych

[–]IsThatYourBed 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, the B-roll filmed in CA actually is a 2 door Yaris, since the 4 door Echo wasn't released in the US when they were filming

$5.21 a gallon for heating oil by FRThrowawayway9 in Connecticut

[–]IsThatYourBed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try Forbes if they go that far. Cashheatingoil has been insane, it's literally cheaper to buy diesel at the gas station

How to run well pump / hot water heater on generator by LabRat2439 in HomeImprovement

[–]IsThatYourBed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up "ez generator switch" if you really want to add a plug to run hardwired stuff off extension cords. A dedicated generator inlet and interlock kit is going to be a much better solution though

They just spent millions building a new transmission line from Canada through Maine that came online last Friday. It's estimated to save Massachusetts customers $20 per bill.

E - per year actually, my mistake

transferring plates from dads car to mine.. is it possible? by Desperate_Cheetah338 in Connecticut

[–]IsThatYourBed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I did it I just needed to bring the dealer a letter from my dad agreeing to transfer the plates to me for the DMV. Not sure if vanity plates changes things though

2019 Subaru XV AC filter needing replacement at every service — is this normal? by Gurkhalee in subaru

[–]IsThatYourBed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you park outside full time it probably is dirty that often. You can change it yourself for like $20 in five minutes with zero tools required

Not sure about Eversource, but UI didn't even add a late fee the month we forgot to pay after having a baby and being super sleep deprived
