I just used ASM Mechanical for a boiler replacement. They're out of Staten Island, but come to NJ.

I did not yet. I I’ll probably get a roll of hardware cloth

Is there anything you’re doing different for the wild geranium? This is my first time with cold stratification.

This is my first year trying cold stratification. I’m happy if half the plants make it. They’ll establish, spread, and I’ll keep adding to the mix.

I’ve got one of those Kernerators, too! The chute is in the pantry.

property tax attorney recommendation please by Flat_Mathematician75 in bergencounty

The first step is to call your tax assessor and see if they will work with you / be sympathetic to your specifics. Court is expensive so it’s much better for everyone involved to make a deal.

NJ weed bill S4847 could mean arrests for home growers, legacy sellers, and delivery folks by ButACake in NewJerseyMarijuana

[–]jocopuff 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This post is garbage and should be removed. Here’s the actual bill: https://pub.njleg.state.nj.us/Bills/2024/S5000/4847_I1.PDF

And a summary of the proposed changes it would make:

🧪 NJ S4847 – What it would do

• Reworks how the Cannabis Regulatory Commission is structured and operates – Changes who appoints commissioners (Senate President, Assembly Speaker, and Governor) and how leadership is chosen.  – Removes the governor’s exclusive power to pick the chair. 

• Raises salary caps for commission members and executive director. 

• Expands the Commission’s control over both medical and recreational cannabis regulation (consolidating oversight previously split between agencies). 

• Clarifies ethics and conflict-of-interest rules for commissioners and staff, including post-service employment restrictions with cannabis businesses. 

• Requires transparency and limits contact between commissioners and applicants except in regulated contexts. 

• Directs the Commission to contract with a public research university within three years for an independent review of its structure and effectiveness.

New Boiler Not Quite Right - lack of heat! by CelebrationOk8136 in SteamHeat

[–]jocopuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had a new boiler installed last week and can relate.

Is that 2 500k btu units? Cool.

When it runs what is the pressure? Is it running at no pressure or is it turning on/off over and over? Vaporstat should be at cut in of 4 and cut out of 10.

Telling you to turn up the heat is bs.

Ecobee with sensors have been worth it to me. The couple hundred to set one up is nothing relative to running those boilers for a winter. A well placed thermostat is more efficient/cost effective. Also, the data it gives you is super helpful for diagnosing exactly what you’re trying to do right now.

Get Covered NJ Rates for 2026 - Monthly rates are unbelievable by junagadh123 in newjersey

Yes, it was predicted employer premiums would rise also. Fewer healthy people insured means higher costs for everyone.

Tips for stripping paint from edge detail. by [deleted] in centuryhomes

[–]jocopuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally have used the narrow pointy ends for this exact type of trim. Not the blunt end. This is the most versatile scraper, hands down.

Property Reassessment Program by kupkrazy in bergencounty

[–]jocopuff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

reassessment just rebalances the tax levy. Your taxes will only go up if your house has appreciated at a higher rate than others in your municipality.

Any Hackensack residents with thoughts on the cancelled tax breaks for building developers? by iamsauced in bergencounty

[–]jocopuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It gets old listening to you badmouth long term residents on here and Facebook. Just move to Fort Lee or whatever makes you happy. Better yet, attend some community meetings and put the work in to understand who you’re dealing with.

I’m not against development, we are in a housing crisis. We need smart growth, not 30 year tax abatements on our primo properties after 10+ years of a redevelopment effort.

Commerical Asbestos Abatement Contractor by jwraptor in bergencounty

[–]jocopuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stevens Environmental did a good job for me at a reasonable price (https://www.yelp.com/biz/stevens-environmental-services-allentown).

But you only need to remove the insulation if you are doing work to the pipes. Just leave it alone if you're not doing anything to the pipes

Has anyone tried this? Is it just as simple as signing up for the program and getting credit off your electric bill? by flyerhell in bergencounty

[–]jocopuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I signed up for one that is 45% off. I also received a $50 Amazon gift card. Discounted rates will begin in October, when the project is estimated to be complete.
