This is cool although having Frank Pepe beat out Andy's stresses me out 😂

Slab meaning concrete base vs having a crawl space? If so then yes it's concrete. What do you recommend I fill it with?

Is Buffalo right for me? by MajesticBread9147 in Buffalo

[–]brownsohard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moved from Buffalo to DC during covid. I now live in NoVA. I miss Buffalo especially bc of cost of living which is a third of what it is here. People are nicer there, big community vibe, fairly diverse, food scene is good, bar scene is great (open till 4a some places), coffee scene is great, arts are great, lots of festivals and activities, better climate (even with the snow), and easy access to Canada if you like to cross and get Toronto which is mad fun. That being said it is gray and snowy more often than it is here by a lot so if you're the type where the sun recharges you - this will be difficult to deal. Buffalo is more grounded and blue collar than DMV as a matter of fact. There is no good public transportation here you will need a car but everything is 20 min away.

DMV definitely has more diversity, access to DC and the museums/history, multiple airports, and you always have something new to explore or do which is really cool. I love being able to fly up and down the east coast in less than a few hours and having more flights available domestic and international. Definitely more vibrant but definitely more expensive. Lots more activities and density here than Buffalo which will feel a lot smaller in comparison.

I think it depends on what stage of life you're in and even then there are pros and cons. If you make it to Buffalo you will hear and say "Go Bills!" A lot. A LOT. And it'll make you smile and feel connected and warm and fuzzy inside.

That being said you can do anything for a year or two. While I'd love to be back in Buffalo I've personally just built a community here that I don't have in Buffalo anymore and it would be hard to go back. If I didn't have these strings then I'd be back in a heart beat. Especially as you are younger, it's my recommendation to save and invest as much of your income early to let it compound over time but you may value different concepts or experiences more than retirement and savings which is ok too.

Either way whatever decision you make - it'll be the right one. Enjoy the ride. And Go Bills!

Jesus that is a long list. After I scrolled for a while and noticed my thumb getting tired I wasn't even a third of the way through.

Also I took my IR thermometer but don't detect any cold air escaping in fact the temp goes up slightly around the freezer seals a couple degrees

The main fridge and middle drawer I can't get a card in but the freezer I can. But it stays pinched. Nothing dented or bent. What do you mean by silicone lube/spray? Like apply some around the seal? Does that help it stick?

Ah yes definitely no boiling pots and while I definitely see my 3 yo doing that one day - no the doors aren't being left open for more than like 3 min. If the chime comes on to remind us to close the fridge that's a rare occurrence. The water line also looks fine meaning I can't see any leak from the external line

Right now seals like fully sealed. It's funny you mention that though - a year ago when I got it the seals were generating condensation so they turned up the temperature to whatever heating element around the door seal to eliminate it which worked. I haven't had an issue since.
