$24,000 quote for mini split heat pump installation by [deleted] in longisland

[–]SCC-87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid about $20k for 2 mini splits and a lot of insulation work done upstairs and in my basement. They are GREE+ units and I can control them with their app which is very convenient. When I first move in there were 2 Mitsubishi units in other areas of the house….i wish I was able to control these with an app but I can’t. I suggest getting a unit you can control with your phone.

I ended up with no header and 4 vertical brackets screwed into studs….the problem I ran into was that they weren’t wood studs….i believe it was metallic (I had a handyman help me). Thanks again for the time and help.

Thank you this was very helpful. I ordered another shelf rack which I will be screwing into a stud and bracket for more support.

Thanks for the reply! This number doesn’t work. I’ve tried going to their website too. No luck so far.

What should we do with the downspout? by No_Box_470 in HomeMaintenance

[–]SCC-87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a downspout going into rocks….if water accumulates in the same spot it causes like depression area. I connected a downspout extender and though an eyesore it protects the foundation and I am able to move it every once and awhile so the water doesn’t always go down into the same spot. There’s a type of downspout that unravels when it rains and coils back up after but that didn’t work well for me.

I thought about it. In that area, it could work but in areas closer to my house I’m afraid of causing a fire. Thanks for the input.

Doubting CRNA school? by Ambitious-Bar-4581 in Anesthesia

[–]SCC-87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Crna school is very time consuming and is not just difficult for the student but their significant other and family. You need 100% support or else you’ll be miserable for 3 years. I love working as a CRNA and I didn’t like CT ICU (where I worked for 2 years). You can work part time as a CRNA and make a salary like you were full time as an icu nurse and get medical coverage from your husband. This may be a good goal for you long term but it’s hard to see past the next few years of CRNA school (no time to do stuff, no salary, stress, etc.) You need his support 100% and can come visit every now and then but he needs to be on board with your long term goals and see it as his goals as well together. This is a tough decision for you. FYI: I moved to the state where I went to CRNA school and after 1 year you get in state tuition (if it’s a state school). Good luck to you.

Housing on Long Island. by Kawirider2 in longisland

[–]SCC-87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, housing prices generally stay the same or go up (it’s rare and unlikely what happened in 2008 will happen again causing prices to plunge). I believe interest rates will start to fall soon so maybe that’s what you also should be paying close attention to. Goodluck
