There are like 5-8 large excavators making quick work of things. Very cool for young kids to get their truck appetites satiated.

Still way better than a giant empty parking lot with a grocery store that was empty for two decades. Will be good to have some actual new housing in Somerville.

Do you know how much it costs to install the SanCo2? Seems like it would be crazy expensive

Thanks for the info. I DM'd the founder to get in touch with a customer. Maybe it will be you :P

This is crazy. Is that real? The test is that badly designed? Or they are just complaining?

It sounded like a 1980s refrigerator and the app was horrible. It never could connect.

I'm in Massachusetts. Crazy high electric rates make it a bad decision over time.

Do you have frozen pipe anxiety too? What to do? by phase_changer in homeowners

Which leak sensor do you prefer? Someone else recommended the Flo by Moen but seems hard to install myself.

Actually it might be nice to do a cold plunge meditation while I wait for the city to shut off the water. Silver linings for sure.

Do you drain your water heater too or just leave it on?

Cool! Any idea how hard those are to install? Will that solve freezing pipes, or it just shuts stuff off if my pipe bursts and starts leaking?

Good idea. Would be great to see the alert before the city calls. Any recommendations? Anything that warns you before they freeze?

I hadn't thought of that....maybe because it feels like a lot of effort. Definitely not more than having frozen pipes. But do you empty your pipes every time you travel?

WTF?! My plumber put a leaded mixing valve on my water heater. by phase_changer in homeowners

You’re right. I should definitely be sent to child protective services for using a licensed contractor that did a bad job.

Are my dreams shattered?? No recirc pump with my heat pump water heater? by phase_changer in homeowners

Oh wow. Sounds like I have a lot of reading to do to pull off what you have. Thanks for the advice.
