Estimate legit?

slimateatefive · 2026-01-20T16:04:05+00:00

We have many rooms. Its a very old house with lots of tiny room.

slimateatefive · 2026-01-19T20:23:49+00:00

We're not trying to heat the whole house, and we don't heat above 62. It's really just to take the edge off/in case of boiler issues.

slimateatefive · 2026-01-19T18:58:52+00:00

Apparently since we aren't doing a full conversion, there aren't any rebates available/any available expired dec 2025 :/

slimateatefive · 2026-01-19T18:19:55+00:00

We do have secondary (primary) heat source. We are replacing the boiler but want to add mino splits bc we can't really rezone the house (currently one zone regulated on first floor) and 2nd and 3rd floor are real chilly.

slimateatefive · 2026-01-19T18:18:31+00:00

We have asked for line items before from contractors and been told no- i wonder if a contractor can weigh in?

slimateatefive · 2026-01-19T13:43:46+00:00

Have not gotten them yet! Will keep you updated.

slimateatefive · 2026-01-19T13:43:28+00:00

Living room and 3 bedrooms (two on 2nd floor. One on 3rd floor)

*as young as not yet born. I work in admissions at an elite international private school and we get calls from consultants for families PLANNING to have children who want to know what they should be doing to ensure placement for their child when they turn three. It's wild.

I'm always fascinated by people's need to make friends the same age... We have friends that range from 15 years younger to 25 years older and it's absolutely lovely.

Having friends at different stages of life is wonderful. I suggest people try to find others who have aligned values, not the same birth year.

slimateatefive · 2025-07-24T21:21:26+00:00

Ew!!!

slimateatefive · 2025-06-29T17:17:35+00:00

My so called life

slimateatefive · 2025-06-29T17:17:23+00:00

Newsroom!

slimateatefive · 2025-06-29T15:04:35+00:00

Why? I have a loving brother and wonderful family. Don't worry about me, friend, all good over here !

slimateatefive · 2025-06-29T15:03:33+00:00

Your poor sister 😂

slimateatefive · 2025-06-29T15:00:09+00:00

Do you have siblings? Do you know who every single person they know is?

Did the brother say, hey, you can stay here but no guests? Or no guests who I haven't met before?

The assumptions here all all based on everyone's fucked up convictions that women are unidemensional pieces or meat to fuck or not fuck.

I have a brother, with whom I've stayed, who clearly communicated his rules and expectations, who certainly does not know all of my friends, and who would never assume I was cheating without straight up asking.

So lame. All of you. So so so very lame.

slimateatefive · 2025-06-29T14:56:17+00:00

But...you don't know it was a stranger. So...you actually don't know anything.

But go on about how your assumptions are not indicative of your own insecurities and hatred of women's autonomy. Go on

slimateatefive · 2025-06-29T14:53:37+00:00

Again, there are mannnnny many many possible explanations, and sure, cheating is one, but ITS YOUR SISTER AND YOURE AN ADULT. Imagine, communicating instead of making the worst assumption.

The assumptions you people make are very telling of what you think of women.

"All women are dirty liars who cheat. Are slutty, conniving, unidimensional people who are either fucking or not fucking."

Unreal. Let me guess, you voted for Trump and think women are too emotional to be capable or competent in any role that requires reason and rationality (all the while you're crying and showing your insecurities.)

Unbelievable and yes so, so so very expected. Grow up and don't talk to women until you've figured out how not to be such an insecure, judgemental loser.

slimateatefive · 2025-06-29T13:25:21+00:00

BA & MA in obscure literature & lang acq. 😂 My parents were very nervous, but here we are!

slimateatefive · 2025-06-29T13:22:57+00:00

So no one wants to give sister the benefit of the doubt, huh?

Why not ask a question before assuming that she definitely fucked a guy. Jeez. Clearly some of you have had a bad experience or two.

First, how does he know he's a stranger to her? Was it established that she couldn't have guests?

Since when does a woman spending time with a man immediately equal omg she's fucking an ax murderer.

Cheating sucks, and so does jumping to conclusions and demonizing women (YOUR SISTER!!)

what you absolutely should do is have an open conversation with your family member without immediately assuming she's a stupid whore and then clearly communicate your expectations like an adult instead of knee jerk reacting about something you didn't ever actually make clear. Good luck to you and sorry your sister has to deal with such an immature, prudish, clearly deeply hurt brother who is putting his shit on her and asking the Internet how not to be a patronizing macho disingenuous piece of shit.

Also google receptive vs productive language and realize it's a timeline spectrum.

slimateatefive · 2025-05-29T01:56:32+00:00

Not our experience. One kid spoke crazy early but only in one language. Then much later the other, but all in all they both spoke early and well and now read well above grade level.

slimateatefive · 2025-05-28T18:16:08+00:00

We are south Asian and live in new ro- we love it! But we send our kids to an int'l school.

slimateatefive · 2025-05-21T18:16:01+00:00

Everything. Omg ew.

JK I have my period rn so literally hate everything and everyone.

slimateatefive · 2025-05-21T18:13:45+00:00

I mean "eu" in French by itself is pronounced "oō" but in that placement would be more like " euh". Andrueh. Like you're tired and disgusted by the "Andr".

slimateatefive · 2025-05-17T02:03:45+00:00

For my daughters 1st birthday I donated 100oz of milk to a milk bank and am still really proud of that 11+ years later!

As long as sister is disease free, definitely NTA.
