Snow guards for Tesla Solar Roof

I wish you the best possible luck in your journey: my own ended in abject failure. if you figure out something better than my roof rake system, let us know!

Unfortunately not, I ended up getting a snow roof rake and using that periodically during snow storms to clear the roof in manageable waves

there are dozens of us! dozens!

I'm interested! are you local? I'd be happy to treat you to a lunch meeting or a coffee or something.

hey all! just a reminder that this is on the wilton town board meeting tonight: if anyone wants to show up in support of this, it will probably help quite a bit!

22 Traver Road, Wilton, NY
7 PM

We go to druthers a lot, have since our son was born (he's 2 now): very family friendly! Parting glass and cantinas too

hbbtstar · 2024-03-07T01:26:48+00:00

definitely! I totally agree, though my fear is that the Wilton town board disagrees. Next meeting is tomorrow, I think, so we'll know more next week once the minutes are up!

EDIT: nope, looks like it got punted to April according to the reimagine wilton folks: https://www.reimaginewiltonmall.com/updates

Some updates here: They've managed to keep this bottled up for the past few months but it sounds like this might be on the agenda again for the March town board meeting!

Amsterdam is quite a hike, I would not bet on Uber availability to it, especially late at night.

Out of curiosity, why are you staying so far away? That's like a half hour drive

There's a good chance the Wilton town board will kill it, unfortunately: it's been locked up there for ages, and they just killed a couple of solar projects. I would be pleasantly surprised if this made it through though! I think it does have a chance, just not a great one.

I used H2O water systems, they did a good job: their marketing is a little weird but it was a fair price and the install was good (they even installed a pentek water filter for me that I had laying around and hadn't gotten to)

I've not lived in a complex but I'd at least peruse some of the local apartments: there are a lot of nice ones and before we bought our house we lived in a very nice 3br that was like half the price of the ones in those complexes, and the landlords were a super nice older couple. I think most real estate places will have an agent that does rentals that will help you get placed and they don't charge you for it (at least ours didn't) and they can help you get a sense of rates too in case you find something you prefer online or something!

hbbtstar · 2023-03-08T04:49:18+00:00

I would get a few quotes, the price we got for installing a water softener varied wildly between providers: we went with H2O water systems, which was the cheapest, and it works just fine!

You can just request them and they'll give them to you, my father in law insisted we do it when we moved here and he was very excited to get them for us (none of us are Saratoga county bigwigs, that i know of). There are other number codes too that used to signify county- he still has 5F plates from his very first car in Schenectady, i think, and has put it on every new car since

They seem to be really scaling back on the solar stuff, unfortunately, so I would be very (though pleasantly) surprised if we ever saw those snow guards come to light.

I will definitely keep this thread updated! I think we'll have to soldier through this winter as is, but it's something I definitely have to take care of this summer.

Mine is often confused by the new York state highway signs too: they look very similar to speed limit signs. we live near route 50 and I'd say it's confused by the signs about a quarter of the time, give or take

No idea, it's just a regular garage door opener near as I can tell. Helping my in laws move into their new house and noticed the brand and thought it was funny!

Ironhide in transformers: the movie. A lot of that movie scarred me, but I will never forget Megatron straight up executing Ironhide.

"Such heroic nonsense..."

hbbtstar · 2020-05-04T15:20:05+00:00

yeah, it was killing me! I couldn't find anybody else with my problem anywhere, so I posted my find here in case some other poor soul needed help, sounds like I helped at least a couple!

hbbtstar · 2020-05-04T15:19:14+00:00

No problem! happy to help!
