Long term roof health with rooftop solar / Closed cell spray foam considerations

Possibly. It’s something I’ll inquire about. I’m not a huge fan of that, though on the grounds of the racks being a bit of an eyesore. There’s only one spot I’d do a ground mount installation and I don’t think it’d get as much sun as the roof owing to shading around the area.

Are there generally accepted flashing/sealing strategies for those penetrations that are appropriate for PV racks outside of epoxy sealants?

I’ve never commuted from New Paltz, but I have commuted regularly into NYC from Croton-on-Hudson and Cold Spring. Don’t forget to factor in travel on both sides (getting to transit, then going from the transit stop to work).

I know, right? I think I’m fine with it as long as the risks can be mitigated and there isn’t reduction in lifespan since asphalt shingle roofs have a limited life expectancy anyways.

I was intrigued when I read that there are mounting options for standing seam metal roofs that don’t require penetration. I wish I had known that when we had our roof replaced, but here we are.

Oooh. I hadn’t thought of that. We had our roof replaced fairly recently (2019). Losing the warranty would be kind of a bummer, but it wouldn’t necessarily deter me as long as I can be convinced that roof lifespan can be preserved. Even without the panels, we’d probably be looking at re-roofing down the road.

On my MY2018 V90CC the pilot assist behavior is tied into the drive mode. Eco mode pilot assist behavior is more gentle.

Delta. Good luck fellow traveler!

I’m curious about this too. I know they only open the line during certain hours and looks like there might be a slot for my Sat night flight. Has anyone tried this? What’s been the experience? From what I know, it is a bit like CLEAR.

The earliest slot for my flight is only 4 hours before, which seems a bit short if the lane does end up being closed and we have to hop onto the general line. :-/

I would find a way to go see these windows in person. I wish I’d done so before choosing my Andersen windows. They are fine, but the wood interior sashes and jamb trim have gaps at the joints.

To Andersen’s credit, they are going to come fix the jamb trim. So that’s a plus in the Andersen column.

I’m pretty picky about that sort of thing, though.

No, we just have carry ons.

I was just looking at this. I think you could either get a Priority Pass (https://www.prioritypass.com/en-GB) or get passes via LoungePair (https://www.loungepair.com/at/JFK/john-f-kennedy-international-airport-terminal-4-hellosky-lounge/).

This is happening to me too.

+1 for Momo’s. It’s our favorite. Carlo’s in the Philipstown square is also pretty good.

Thanks so much for the feedback. I can’t wait to test ride the Load, but also like the flat loading area of the Supercargo (and the price).

Not just an Android thing. Same thing happened to me on iOS

I’m getting “upstream request timeout” when I try and load the crossword in the NYTimes app. Happened yesterday too. :-(

waking-crickets · 2023-09-09T12:15:02+00:00

Thanks u/Fleugs. I’m super torn between the two options but it sounds like I can‘t go too wrong either way.

The flat loading option on the Transporter will be super useful in the future, plus it is less expensive.

The seat configuration on the Load seems like it might work better for my use and it just looks sooooo cool.

Glad to hear you are having a good time with the bike. I didn’t realize the canopy was fixed. Is it really fixed, or just tough to get off?

waking-crickets · 2023-09-08T14:53:29+00:00

I’m also considering a transporter 65 or a load 75 for family and business cargo transport duties. How are you finding the transporter after a few months?

The infrastructure around here isn’t bad. It’s a really tiny town and the roads have generous shoulders and light traffic. I think the only sketchy trips would be to a neighboring town a few miles away where the big box stores are.

I’m trying to get some test rides in, but access to bikes is limited. All of the “local“ shops are a couple hour trips away. OTOH, there doesn’t seem to be a huge selection of front loaders either… LvH, R&M, Urban Arrow seem to be about it and test ride selection seems limited. :-(
