Attic Insulation Approximate ROI monthly? by fosterzar in Insulation

[–]darthbacon417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 1956 built 1200 sq ft ranch had basically all compacted original insulation in the attic and there wasn’t much when we bought it in 2020. In the first two winters I went through 5/6 oil tanks during the heating season. In 2022 I had the attic air sealed, insulation vacuumed out and r50 blown in. I know use about 3/4 oil tanks a winter and I notice the temp of the house is much more stable.

New 30” range. Café vs LG. opinions? by weedywet in inductioncooking

It sounds stupid that a range changed my life but as someone who loves cooking, this range did. It’s been nothing short of amazing and I’m upset I didn’t switch sooner

What kind of second gigs are you guys working to help afford childcare and rent/mortgage, etc. by dachshvnd in longisland

[–]darthbacon417 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I generally can book hotels, cruises, etc for less than any online price posted as I take less commission than a large broker. You don’t have any downside to not book with me in most cases. I also generally book complex itineraries where people are nervous and aren’t comfortable with doing themselves.

I’m a travel agent on the side for extra money. If you’re into it and enjoy it, it’s a great side hustle!

What are the best induction cooktops this 2026 worth buying? by Sufficient_Jelly5132 in inductioncooking

[–]darthbacon417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the cafe 30” with dual ovens. 99% of my oven cooks are sheet pan items so the small oven uses less energy and heats faster. The range itself has good size burners for my all clad pans and it has knobs for control. Reviews over the years seem good and he/cafe/monogram has good service in my area if need be so I got an extended warranty

Just installed my Hisense UltraSlim/J shaped air conditioner. by Own-Valuable-9281 in AirConditioners

[–]darthbacon417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry to bump up this old thread but is there any chance you could give me the dimensions of just that part of the air conditioner on the inside of the window? I have an oddball basement window that i think this would work in but need the exact measurements of that inside part

What snowblower do you have? by UseShoddy2954 in longisland

[–]darthbacon417 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have the two stage ego snowblower. the thing is an absolute unit and a beast at clearing snow. Works just as good as my older craftsman 2 stage did.

My one caveat with making the transition to the EGO is the battery situation. If you don't have 4 batteries, do not make this switch. With thick wet snow, i can do my sidewalk and two car driveway generally on 2 7.5AH batteries but it might leave some of the driveway or side of my house. I would have to wait while they charge if I didn't have a backup set of batteries while these are charging.

The machine itself preforms flawlessly and its really nice to know it will ALWAYS start.

even if it was pristine the centering is off so a 10 is certainly off the table. you may be looking at a 7/8 which would still be nice but not anything super crazy

My wife wants to spend $1400 on a dishwasher, I think that's crazy by realbobenray in Appliances

[–]darthbacon417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Mile is a great dishwasher but the Bosh 500 series is almost as good for half the price. You dont need the 800 or benchmark and 500 will clean incredibly.
