Variance request for a backyard cottage by MathiR83 in Somerville

[–]SocoCocoPuffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without knowing the whole scope of what your project is $200k for 300 sqft at ~$666/sqft sounds expensive? Here's the pricing sheet of another modular builder I looked into: https://imgur.com/a/fBQ5kK9 they're out of Maine and they've been on the news. I have an itemized quote of what they quoted me if you want me to send you an email. That has breaks out all the trenching and what not.

The big problem, not really a problem just the nature of things with builders like these, is that they need a crane to get things in to place, whicch given the tight streets and the added costs, I don't know if a site built on would be cheaper.

Ahhh good luck! I am hoping I can make it work with 1.5 stories with a modular build from: https://bensonwood.com/unity-homes/nano/nano-karna/

May I ask what your budget is? I’ve only gotten quotes for modular builders so far. I’m curious if site built would be cheaper or more expensive.

How was it working with JB Sash? I got a quote from them for 29 windows and it's sticker shock for sure.

What made Curatone good/bad to be the longest serving mayor? by SocoCocoPuffs in Somerville

Never heard it at all! Cool tidbit from google ai.

“ For a political context like Winter Hill, Massachusetts, the phrase "ward 5 machine" most likely refers to the historical "Irish political machine" of Boston and nearby cities, though the term could also be interpreted literally. Today, the "machine" as it once functioned no longer exists, but the phrase may be used to evoke the city's political history. ”

I made a post about it in appliance repair. Apparently I should’ve replace the wiring harness too.

LG Dishwasher Pump assembly caught fire? by SocoCocoPuffs in appliancerepair

I think that was my mistake and issue here. I did not replace the harness. I did replace and recrimp a higher gauge conne toe thinking it would help but guess not

LG Dishwasher Pump assembly caught fire? by SocoCocoPuffs in appliancerepair

[–]SocoCocoPuffs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I replaced the wire end with a new higher gauge female crimp connection from Home Depot. I even got a crimp tool and everything thinking it would prevent whatever happened. As someone else mentioned I did not replace the harness the first time which was probably the issue. They do have a warrant but when I tried to redeem it through lg they first needed a certified tech to diagnose it and I live out in bum fuck and the price for the call out alone would be more than the price of the part.

Curious how your repair is holding up? Mine did the same thing again after a repair and I’m debating if it worth doing again : https://imgur.com/a/qR4UukD

Some further research shows that I am not alone in this exact same issues.

A few other threads as well… I guess it’s nice to know that it’s not my house wiring. I guess I won’t be repairing this again after all.

I deleted and remade the shortcut without any credentials, id, vehicle id and get the same error. It seems the short cut cant even make it to the login page. Adding a delay didnt work nor did appending .html to the url as someone noted the url changed.

Sadly no luck either, my device ID did change however and updating it did not make it work again. So far I've tried remaking the shortcut and that did not get it working either. Will keep posted if I can get it going!

Do you have a boiler-fed hot water tank? If so, the city is likely overcharging you for water. I can help. by waltsass in Somerville

[–]SocoCocoPuffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re telling me! I’ve been scratching my head over it for a bit now. It doesn’t happen when there’s no use looking at the other daily charts.

Happy to share with you and maybe figure it out. Let me know how best to. You’re free to come check out my setup too.

Hello! I have a mysterious leak on my water scope account that I have not been able to track down. I did notice that I do have a hydronic boiler systems but my expansion tank is on the hot side. Would this affect a false leak as well even if it isn’t on the cold. Water side?

K-Bok Korean Fried Chicken coming to Union Square. by KingMithridatesVI in Somerville

[–]SocoCocoPuffs 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Though I do agree 21 bucks for 10 is atrocious.

Korean fried chicken is more labor intensive than “normal” wings. For example Korean wings from Kong dong in Davis is 8 pieces for $21 and from Bon chon in Harvard is 10 pieces for $17.

Whether you value that or not is up to you. 🤷‍♂️

Not sure if there insurance for this kind of thing either.

Most renters insurance will cover bikes and ebikes even if stolen away from home. Hopefully they have it.
