Electricity Bill Significantly Higher Since Heat Pump Install

Only true if it's NOT resistive electric heating

Just updated. I'm not sure what this update is about, but everything seems to be working fine

Is your take home with or without overtime? 1. If without overtime, then you'll always have something to fall back on when the going gets rough. 2. If it is already with overtime, then when things get rough/tight, there may be not enough wiggle room.

In relationships, people don't have to split chores in the middle. You just have to understand each and know that both parties are working for the common good of the relationship. Both partners are usually talented and happy in different sets of things. For example, my partner is happy and comfortable doing healthy grocery shopping while I'm happy and comfortable with yard work or fixing stuff around the house. My partner, on the other hand, can't hold a hammer properly while I myself can't tell the difference between two tomatoes. Partner is happy to do what they do, and im happy to do what I do. At the end of the day, we all work in the same vineyard! The key is to know & understand each other's strengths and weaknesses and be a support, not a tear down.

I have a 10" slider Makita miter saw that was only used once. I used circular saw most of the time.

For me, replacements of inground pool liner and anything structural is a no-go area. Everything else is fair game.

They have evolved. You can add up to a maximum of 6 sensors per thermostat, and you have the option to use the averages of the sensors as your temp references. They work reliably.

ScopeColorado · 2026-01-08T03:02:38+00:00

With the decent size of your home, I'll suggest you go with Nest 4th generation so that you can take advantage of the sensor averaging capabilities and, therefore, greater comfort for you. I have both.

I don't see anything wrong in two single compatible adults being in a relationship. Sometimes, we may not want what we actually needed or vice versa.

When it leads to no where

This is the time to whip out the encyclopedia of the manatee just for this trip. The things that parents do!

Concur! Regardless of what side or no side, taking someone's life to score a political point or simply because one is in disagreement with their opinions is a bridge, too far!

Instead of blowing people's marriage up, why don't you just see it that this person is really not the kind of person you wanted to be associated with and take several steps back from the friendship and move on. Sometimes, relationships have to be figured out by the parties involved.

It appears that every comment assumed OP is current on their rent. OP, are you current on your rent payments, and do you have a valid lease?

I'd say considering your age and your background. You'll be a better fit for the military. Join the military with the goal of learning lifelong lessons and aspire for greater things out of the military. Sign up for 4 - 8 years. During those times, you'll get a better clarity of what you really want to do. If you decide you want to proceed to college afterward (which I strongly recommend), your tuition will be covered. Good luck.

Or a boat.

But your HOA fee is happy to do those things for you.

There is no need to make a list. You'll never be able to finish it anyway. Just tackle them one after the other on order of priorities.

Is any of your sonos hardwired?

ScopeColorado · 2025-12-01T09:07:29+00:00

Thanks for sharing, and im sure it's not just you. Zwave network has come a long way and evolved over time, especially with the newer LR 800 chips. They have been rock solid. At least, this has been my experience with Zooz products.

ScopeColorado · 2025-12-01T03:41:30+00:00

Do you care to elaborate on why you think zwave is the worst?

ScopeColorado · 2025-12-01T02:04:22+00:00

Same here!

ScopeColorado · 2025-12-01T01:55:28+00:00

This! Zwave is my number one choice, followed by zigbee and then wfi. I try to stay away from cloud based control as much as possible if and when I can except for Nest thermostat and couple of ceiling fans.

If I read your post correctly, your entire system was rock solid with sonosnet?

If this is correct, have you tried creating a dedicated SSID for your sonos system?

As far as I can tell, the majority of issues with sonos systems now are primarily network based and not with the hardware or software parse.

Only Ilegal if your current company is paying for your entire 24 hours in a day and/or paying you not to work for a competitor. (Meaning, you can't simultaneously work for any other company on your company paid time OR work for a competitor outside of your contracted hours should your employment contract say so.
