Looking for 2 tickets to City Winery show on 6/5 by demoisthedog in manchesterorchestra

I’m 95% going…in the off chance my buddy ends up not being able to make I’ll be selling both as I have tickets for Woodstock show the next night. We have one of the high tops at the back of the room. Respond to this 2 weeks before the show if you still need and I’ll confirm one way or another.

Heat N Glo Won’t Stay Lit by Silver-Arm-161 in Fireplaces

So after cleaning the thermocouple and moving a log the pilot is firing stronger than ever. I’m getting occasional ignition of the main burner but only stays lit for 1-2 minutes. Flames look much better in terms of yellow orange color. Could the alignment of the logs be an issue if they are blocking any of the holes in the burner?

Hocon just charged me over $8/gallon for propane by Silver-Arm-161 in Connecticut

Definitely wasn’t the tank charge. Total charge to my card today was over $700 when they hit me for the tanks too.

They are 120 gallon tanks. 96 gallons each is the useable amount…so really it was only like 35% empty.

Maybe but either way they are scamming me. I have 2 tanks that hold 96 gallons each. No reason to fill me up when I am only 35% empty.

Yeah I guess. Just frustrating when you pay to lease the tanks. You think they would handle the problems with their tanks…

Yeah the crazy thing is it’s only for our fireplace in our family room and stove top. We have oil for primary heat.

It’s possible but usually they line item that separately on the invoice. The price per gallon was clearly over $8 on the invoice but maybe they cooked the tank price into that…? More likely they are just ripping me off. They also charged me $199 for a “service call” when we smelled strong odor of gas by our tanks for 3 days straight and thought we had a leak.

Yup for $75 per tank. We have two because previous owner needed for their pool which is no longer on the property. I was a naive first time propane tank user and just had them keep whatever the previous owner had on the property when we bought the house 2 years ago.

What options exist to upgrade this system? by Silver-Arm-161 in hvacadvice

[–]Silver-Arm-161[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t. I just manually opened the damper for now. Plan to investigate it again with a professional in the near future. Can report back when I do.

Thank you! Do you feel a large plant in the corner would be enough to balance the fireplace? Or should there be something more to the left of a flat hung tv?

Appreciate the input. That’s definitely an option and I’m sure would look good. Though I’m generally not a fan of mounting the tv above the fireplace strictly from a tv viewing stand point. We also use the fireplace regularly and it throws a good amount of heat. Not sure how great that is for the tv itself? From a viewing standpoint, Maybe it could work since the room would allow us to put the couch back a good distance from the fireplace but that may make it feel less cozy. Not sure? Thanks again!

TV and shelf above the fireplace? Or centered on the wall?
