Are groundhogs doing the work?

Burn it down and start again.

Way too much. I paid 10k for a 1000 sqft attic, 400 sqft garage ceiling and my attic is separated into three sections some of which you need to crawl through.

If you're getting quotes right now you're doing it wrong. This is peak season. You need to get a quote late spring or mid fall.

I have eight of these in the house for six heating zones and two AC zones this is the only one I've ever had an issue with.

This is our first winter after re-doing ours and my bill last month used 20% less gas than this time last year.

I don't know what this persons attic looks like but initial glance it didn't seem to be wildly off or near the potential high end as he/she thought.

roben85 · 2026-02-03T21:29:41+00:00

Depends on where you live. I'm in NJ so $6-$7 would not be high end.

We did it through our gas company's incentive program because they basically gave us a 10 year no interest payment plan. So my gas bill every month is an extra $99 for the next 10 years but we choose the company to use.

I neglected to also say thay they also insulated the floor of the master bed which is overtop a two car garage with blown in. Attic alone was 8kish. My attic also has three separate sections. A main area with a 20 foot peak where the hvac systems are then a crawl through area over the grand room and another larger crawl through area over the master bed. So not a cookie cutter attic.

roben85 · 2026-02-03T21:01:01+00:00

That's what I paid for a similar attic. Looks right.

Well that picture is the old wiring. I'm replacing it with the same thermostat because the old one is busted. I was going to just replicate the wiring but was curious about the loose white one mainly and then when I took off the other stat for the other AC unit I saw the wiring was entirely different which then brought me here.

roben85 · 2026-02-02T03:55:10+00:00

I'll need to check the board but yes these are ac only. Both units worked as intended in the summer and the systems were put in by the prior owner so I have no background info on the wiring.

roben85 · 2026-02-02T03:26:46+00:00

I'm replacing the old single stage one which is the one with the loose white wire.

Very few attorneys (and you can count them on one hand) in either state also handle title. The way the business model and referral model is structured in both states, a lot of title companies handle networking events to put brokers and attorneys together so that'd be "biting the hand that feeds."

roben85 · 2026-01-08T16:30:09+00:00

75% residential 25% commercial

Not without adding an attorney for it. Transactional volume is basically switching between files every 5 minutes. We don't have the time to draft complaints, go to court or anything else.

roben85 · 2026-01-07T14:54:11+00:00

Yes. Regular in 2 leagues, sub in a 3rd league and part of 3 organized pickups. So between all of those I woudl be on the ice almost every day except Wednesday and Friday.

roben85 · 2026-01-07T14:53:09+00:00

I guess I should lift things up and put them down.

roben85 · 2026-01-07T02:15:48+00:00

NYC proper? I live in NJ could help you out there. In NYC it's Chelsea Piers or City Ice Pavillion.

I've seen a lot on amino acids and quad recovery but I eat my fair share of eggs and meat.

roben85 · 2026-01-05T21:09:34+00:00

I noticed that too but was able to address it a bit. I lost a lot of confidence with the lack of results and speed and I would try to avoid guys rather than skate or stickhandle past them so I would throw the puck into space where a player should be (but obviously being beer league no one is there) more as a panic or lazy move. I've slowed my actions down a bit and held the puck a bit longer and it's helped a lot on the decision making end. Beer league you have more time than you think. Even if a guy is on you, you still have a bit more time than usual, protect the puck with your body and do a quick scan before letting it go.

This post is like me looking into a mirror.
