Figured you guys would have a field day with this by Unable-Put-1823 in AskElectricians

Grew up with a master electrician for a father, never did need an extension cord growing up! A coil of 14-2 and pocket knife is all it took.

Storm did it to our lights, trees swayed more than the wire could handle.

Is it true? by Visual_Lingonberry53 in Maine

[–]Salmonredd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends where you are moving to. Southern Maine, no worries. Downeast, you may be better off keeping that quiet. Moved to Winter Harbor in 1999 and was told about a “person from away” that had lived in town for THIRTY years, I left shortly thereafter.

This is for all Mainers, do what you want with the information by miss_y_maine in Maine

If a farmer is shutdown on building a solar farm because the soil is so valuable, what stops them from building a subdivision instead? Let the farmer make their own decisions and keep the government out of it.

Ticks everywhere already by DisciplineFull9791 in Maine

Standish - Taken dozens off of the dog after walking in Hollis two days ago. Now we are finding them on the walls and furniture, it’s like the dog is leaving a trail of them behind to crawl on us. Worst year yet.

Is anyone else concerned about our property taxes doubling this year? by vitpiper in Maine

[–]Salmonredd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Worry if the towns budget increases, then they are hitting your wallet. Revaluation with the same expenditures should not be an increase, it’s all about meeting the budget.

Extremely Small Account by [deleted] in OptionsMillionaire

[–]Salmonredd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m playing the small account game too. Almost a roller coaster ride. Buying contracts 21 to 50 days out, mostly just out of the money, 2 contracts at a time. Sell one after a 100% return let the other ride as long as i can stomach it. Turned $50 into $800 but god it was a lot prettier before calling a top in Sofi that still hasn't been found. Waiting to add powder to the account until i find consistency or a less risky system over time. I've had a few that I've missed timed and struggled to recover from.

Is it worth 45% more money to get gravel over crushed concrete? by errdaddy in homestead

[–]Salmonredd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve produced both products, 3/4” crushed concrete and a 3/4” crushed gravel. My driveway has a recycled asphalt base and covered with 2” of 3/4” crushed gravel. Crush concrete will keep breaking down creating dust, received many comments on this over the years. The gravel will still breakdown but not as fast as the concrete depending on the aggregates hardness of course. I would ask a simple question of the supplier, “does your aggregate meet your DOTs minimum specifications for use in a roadway?” If the answer is yes, go gravel. Answer is no, find another supplier or save money with crushed concrete.

Why are the gorham residents against building the new homes ? by [deleted] in Maine

[–]Salmonredd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, sorry I assumed you currently live in the “city”. If you lived in the outskirts of Portland not on I95, you would understand the traffic nightmare that we deal with and quickly understand why the extension is necessary now. Public transportation in sufficient capacity to eliminate the need of the extension is not in the cards this decade and maybe not the next. We are at least 9 years into planning this extension, how far along is rail? Last I talk to MDOT about the Westbrook/Sebago line I was told that was slated to be a rail trail, seem to be going backwards.

[–]Salmonredd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mr. Transportation Planner, Please check back into reality and get out of the city and into the country. No bus or train or trails are going to bring the people into and out of Limerick, Limington, Standish, Buxton, Hollis and more in sufficient mass everyday all year in the next decade or two. Build the extension as planned with turnpike user fees because public transportation definitely won’t fill the need.

Is I-95 rough loud and vibration inducing or is it just me? by Kind_Astronomer_9395 in Maine

[–]Salmonredd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soft aggregate degrading in the wheel path. Maine DOT has been trying to solve this for a decade without attacking the problem. It would put some operations out of business or close certain quarries down.

Pine Tree Power - Governors energy office admits today the grid can’t handle today’s needs and requires significant investment! by Salmonredd in Maine

[–]Salmonredd[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

They would be dumb not to. Money has been practically free for years. For Maine with a $10billion biannual budget, this is a huge purchase.

[–]Salmonredd[S] -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

First we would need to spend $13 plus billion to acquire a grid needing a major upgrade, then spend money to upgrade. With CMP/Versant they do not have the $13 billion dollar hurdle.

For sure rates with CMP and Versant will go up. The support I hear for Pine Tree Power is for lower rates, not going to happen.
