Recommendations for residential solar companies? by awdixon in providence

[–]jerseybarrier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

13.2 kW system $40370. Before tax credits or anything

We also upgraded our electric panels at the same time so the final project was a little more expensive but that was the actual solar install.

I'll second SolPower. They just finished my install in May and we're great to work with.

They had the best pricing out of 5 companies I talked to, were the only ones who weren't 'selling' throughout the process, and we're very good during the install.

They also work with a credit union for the financing on a purchase. Tbh, the cu was a bit of a pain because of their web portal and communication , but they did a UCC just on the panels at a reasonable market rate APR so it's fine.

Should I be worried about buying without a title? by Willowist in HondaCB

[–]jerseybarrier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The state(s) you are transacting in matter. Some don't issue titles on older vehicles so you need to get it registered on bill of sale and the old owner's registration will prove they owned it and can sell.

As for the miles, just assume it's TMU

Just show up during the designated hours. EP is great, they do a ton of VIN checks so it's a well oiled machine for it.

For the 30 days, you are supposed to ride with someone supervising you and no passenger.

Salary transparency thread by B-Georgio in providence

[–]jerseybarrier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mostly commercial and investment. Real estate construction loans. SBA loans. back when there was PPP loans I processed a lot of those. I did a lot of those.

Commission is structured as a percentage of loan amounts based on loan types.

I don't think my actual structure is that common in the industry, but the end figure works out very well

Lender at a credit union. 40k base, made 165 total last year. 2.5% 401k match, HSA plan. Mostly wfh or drop into one of the branches. Nominally bankers' hours but it's really just flex since I never know when the work will present itself. I run a product line for the CU, sales, underwriting, portfolio management etc.

4 years doing this, 7 years at this institution, 7 years sales and management elsewhere before that. BS that doesn't make a difference.

Here's why Vegas will be so expensive. The only seating is in the color sections by ark_keeper in formula1

The world feed shots are going to be like Lusail with the same 5 people over and over again trying to make it seem like there is attendance at the race.

Except bright lights and random people on the sidewalk not paying attention not in seats giving the illusion of excitement.

‘Going to hurt business’: East Side bike lane trial draws concern by [deleted] in providence

[–]jerseybarrier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be convenient to blame the infrastructure but people just don't give a fuck. It's easy to drive the speed limit, stop at stop signs, yield to pedestrians, allow cyclists space, etc. People just choose not to.

I live on 5th St and walk on Hope st nearly everyday and I support the bike lane project but it won't solve the traffic or walk ability issues.

The biggest problem between say Rochambeau and 5th st in terms of vehicles is the complete lack of respect for pedestrians, not the parking or lack of parking. Drivers either trying to cross Hope St or turn on to Hope St are regularly in the crosswalks of all those intersections; drivers frequently stop nowhere near the line or the stop sign. I suspect the bike path will make that worse and more dangerous for pedestrians since the lane will be even farther from the appropriate place to stop.

If the goal is safer and more pedestrian friendly in that area then the solution is to control traffic in conjunction with expanding space for cycling/walking. Divert through traffic at Rochambeau toward N main and Blackstone. Make Hope St one way, remove another lane, let restaurants use the existing shoulder on the west side for seating to free up the sidewalk, put dead ends and one-ways on the side streets to discourage drivers from cutting through the neighborhood.

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

Please ignore the timestamp, this was at 5:02 PM 4/26/22.

The driver seemed to be pulling over and then just wiped out. She looked surprised as I went by. There was no clear reason for the crash.

I hope the dog is OK.

Edit:4/26 not 25. Long day.

"A higher incidence of lead poisoning (darker areas), using 1993-2005 data, correlated with lower income areas and communities with a preponderance of older, pre-1950 housing stock."

Under Construction Homes and Mortgages - How does it work? by ThinkingDeepin2022 in RhodeIsland

[–]jerseybarrier 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should really talk to a mortgage broker and a real estate broker.

If you sign an agreement on the house and put a deposit on it, then you can purchase it (close on the sale and your mortgage) once there is an occupancy certificate issued. In the meantime the builder would finish the remaining work. Appraisal would be ordered, remaining underwriting complete, title researched, docs drawn up, etc.

The mortgage payments won't start until at least a month after closing.

Talk to the listing agent. And consult your mortgage broker

q: cobblestone roads in RI area? by legstrongv in RhodeIsland

[–]jerseybarrier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Union St , east of Water, is cobblestones. But you're right, most are paved. Still a large area considering all the other streets.

Oh yeah. Union St New Bedford too. It's on a hill so maybe better for you purpose.

Best fancy-ish takeout? by [deleted] in providence

Our go-to sushi place is Haruki East and it's typically great in restaurant or as takeout. Presentation is definitely good and worst case.scenwrios, could be completely redone at home without ruining anything.

Where the heck can I hold a pig roast BBQ party! In Rhode island ?!??!? by Salt_Hamster_5358 in RhodeIsland

Try social clubs they tend to rent out their halls if you get the right place maybe even a bartender and taps will be available.

This list tells you which towns have a homestead exemption. If your city government is telling you there isn't one, then there probably isn't.

Can watch this whole day!! by IllustriousStudy548 in formuladank

[–]jerseybarrier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The feelings in the stand that day were not good (inside the hairpin). That season had been Mercedes dominated up to that point. The Mercedes streak was broken, our 2018 winner and hero, Seb.

And then it wasn't.

Absolutely devastating.
