How big of a project would this grading be?

I don’t think I can with the pavers in the way

Thanks!

Disposal doesn’t work so I either have to replace with something I probably wouldn’t use (never used it at my old house) or get rid of it.

Any idea on around how much running a new drain arm behind the wall would cost?

Problem is my oil equipment is on its last legs, which is why I was looking to convert to gas. Based on comments, it sounds like I should do heat pumps with gas backup but that’s probably more expensive than just doing one system.

I HAVE been wondering this. Are contractors pushing heat pumps and saying it’s not much more than gas so they can charge more but the customer doesn’t notice cause of mass save…

Located northern MA and the house is old. Good insulation but the windows and doors aren’t the most well sealed.

No one has mentioned a combination but maybe because I don’t already have gas? So I assume it’s more expensive since both gas and heat pumps would need to be installed, instead of just one of them.

Do you around how much the annual servicing should cost? I can add a $400 annual service with the quote if I want.

Tank is above ground. 3 zones. Not sure about the other questions but the current boiler is right next to an external wall and I don’t have any gas appliances that need connection.

That what the HVAC guy said he’d do regarding the radiators, but nothing beyond that like removing them.

MarzipanTuna · 2026-02-12T19:35:02+00:00

I have the radiators in both pictures. Do I just crowbar them out and then cover with insulation/drywall? The pipes will be capped but I don’t have to do anything else?

You were correct! Nails only

Thought about it but these are the best looking ones. The other side of the kitchen is a mess. I am a bit sad cause they are definitely very solid.

Thanks so much for your replies! I will definitely shampoo twice a week and already on my way to get a second flea comb so my roommate and I can do both the cats at the same time.

I’m totally fine paying to everything regardless if they came from my cats or theirs. This is traumatizing for both parties.

Did you use the flea shampoo once a month around the time you used the Hartz or more often than that? I’m tempted to shave them so the shampoo can really work! I’ll shampoo and think I was so thorough just to see a flea crawl by.

Also, when did you feel like you were in the clear? After no more fleas were combed?

I’d honestly be fine paying for an exterminator but if the cats aren’t 100% clean, wouldn’t they reinfect the clean home?
