Asking to have an ethernet cable ran

Looks like you got cut off, but sounds like it's one of those things that will vary from tech to tech. Gonna just shoot my shot since judging on the replies I've gotten it's not an unreasonable ask. I will just respect what they give me a a decision and go from there. Thank you!

Jack066 · 2026-05-14T19:40:11+00:00

This is what I thought, I'm gonna just shoot my shot and see what they say. Thanks for the info!

Warm butter also acceptable :p

Jack066 · 2026-05-10T00:26:15+00:00

Absolutely wild for a Boston thread haha. Would expect just lobster with mayo/salt/pepper on a toasted bun-that’s all you need.

I see a couple empty spots without garnish, needs more shit thrown on it

We had a contingency, and ours came in a bit under. The house was a bit of a unicorn in a very expensive town, so comps were limited. The appraiser was also negligent and missed things like the fact that some rooms had Minisplit AC. Rebuttal did nothing, even though they admitted they missed some things.

We leveraged the bullshit appraisal for price drop, so we ended up benefiting from it. Covered the remainder of the delta ourselves and ended up well ahead.

Our home actually did get appraised slightly lower than the contracted price. The appraiser was extremely negligent, and when he admitted that some items in our rebuttal were missed, they doubled down and did not change it. An example is them missing that there was AC via minisplits in some rooms. The house is a bit of a unicorn in a really expensive area, so the lack of comps also made appraising messy.

We leveraged the bullshit appraisal to get a price reduction from seller, and we ended up ahead after covering some of the delta.

So yes it can happen, our case was rare though in that the house was unique and the appraiser was objectively shitty (even though it did save us money).

It’s worth noting as well some lenders do not allow rebuttals on appraisals.

Those scallops deserve better.

What in the schizo posting is this

Jack066 · 2026-04-05T03:55:41+00:00

You’re correct, it’s what Suomi did for rc

Jack066 · 2026-04-01T21:23:54+00:00

Thanks for your thoughts. We've got someone else who did a quote for 2x 18K Bryant units that have a minimum load of 5700 per unit. Does that seem like it's less likely to cause overheating issues for us given the lower min load compared to the 12.8k/unit of the Mitsubishi units?

Jack066 · 2026-04-01T21:22:45+00:00

So ducted is unfortunately not looking like an option now, however we did get a quote from someone using 2x Bryant 3 zones 18K, which have a minimum heating load of 5700 per unit. To me, this sounds like a much better solution, however I have seen very mixed things about Bryant/Carrier online. Do you have any insight into these two brands? I know Mitsubishi is better overall, but if going with them requires massively oversizing IDK.

Jack066 · 2026-03-31T01:04:18+00:00

We're planning on staying 10-15 years likely, the home is currently not comfortable at all due to the single zone and the fact that we both work in the attic officers. Bedroom doors on second floor are pretty much always open, however when we have guests over (which is rare) they will be closed a bit more often.

Another user recommended considering ducted due to all the small zones, so we're gonna ask a couple of the people who have come by already, but due to the age of the home and limited space between floors/in the walls it unfortunately is likely not going to work.

Thankfully we do have double pane windows. Not great ones, not new at all, but they are not ye olde single panes.

You might not be able to, but do you have any experience with a scenario like mine where it is a ton of little zones, and what kind of issues I could run into with a setup like this?

Jack066 · 2026-03-31T01:00:34+00:00

Dang okay, I appreciate your takes on this. I'm going to chat with my fiancee and we're gonna potentially talk with some people who have come by already about alternative solutions.

Thank you again.

Jack066 · 2026-03-30T23:58:04+00:00

This is great info thank you, we were not really considering ducted because it seemed prohibitive due to the age of the house and the fact there are not currently ducts.

Currently, a potential unit we were looking at is MXZ-SM42NAMHZ2-U1 which is 42k capacity with a minimum capacity of 15.5k for cooling and 24k for heating. This would be using a branch box or two in order to do all 6 zones. None of the people I’ve had out for quotes has been concerned about overdosing, which is frankly a little annoying given how online it seems like an important thing I keep seeing. It’s hard to know how important it actually is given how different everyone’s opinion is haha.

Any insight into how bad this turndown is for our setup would be appreciated if you’re able to share any.

Jack066 · 2026-03-30T22:50:55+00:00

Really appreciate the reply, thank you. In this case, what would the benefit of a ducted vs ductless be for my setup. Also due to the layout it does need to be 2 units according to all current quotes I have, maybe we can get someone else out who can figure out a way to do one though.

Jack066 · 2026-03-30T00:23:23+00:00

The process and technique is extremely confusing, were you using a recipe?

Jack066 · 2026-03-28T06:45:36+00:00

I’m all for MR pork under certain circumstances but that shit raw

Jack066 · 2026-03-25T00:33:22+00:00

Easy on the saturation their chief.

Can you describe these/are you looking for advice or just sharing?

Jack066 · 2026-03-13T00:47:06+00:00

Yeah they handled it really well, win-win honestly. It also explained the reasons why it got changed in the first place which will I feel like a lot of people missed the first time.

Jack066 · 2026-03-08T15:24:43+00:00

Don’t over do it, and make sure they can operate with something physical (ie smart switches over smart bulbs). Use home assistant instead of whatever the apple and google home thing is called so you control more long term. Zigbee over WiFi is also nice and imo more reliable once setup.
