From what my niece tells me there is always a need for insurance adjusters who WFH. It’s not glamorous and you hear everyone’s problems but it wasn’t hard to get qualified and the pay was ok. She went on to something else after a few years.

I hear LL bean customer service is work from home now

Interesting to see Ferry Pass on the list.

In addition to the above, you have to ensure that you have made a clearance for the mail carrier as well as any package delivery, assuming you want to receive your mail and packages in a timely and un-brokem manner

Wood heat is glorious. With an older house, OP might have a chimney that’s ready to go. Alternatively a self install with some Duravent chimney pipe from tractor supply is not cost prohibitive.

It's Biddo. I'm not really surprised.

Maine has been Vacationland since 1936, officially, according to the license plates.

Smells like a Masshole

1. Yes, so if you need emergency services they can pull up to your house. Also oil deliveries.

2. I can't speak for your property, but you'll figure it out. Don't leave your car in the street, it's a hazard to navigation. Brush it off, pull it somewhere you've already shoveled, then shovel the spot your car was in.

3. No it isn't. Have your plow guy push a turn-around on your frozen lawn or some other convenient spot, so you can park the car there while he plows. Aside from a 14 year old neighbor kid you won't be able to hire a snowblower.

Don't complain on Reddit, complain to the Mayor's office.

1. A few reasons you may want to clean up your entire driveway would be - once the snowpack freezes it will be harder to remove and may also take longer to melt in the spring. Even if you don’t clear up your whole driveway for a car you’ll still need to clear a path to walk to remaining way up to your driveway. If an emergency vehicle such as an ambulance or fire truck needs access to your house they will have a hard time reaching you in the event of an emergency.

2. most will recommend getting a snowblower or a plow if your vehicle accommodates one. Clear a path down your driveway for the car first. Then dig out the car and drive it off the driveway- either onto the street or just parked into a cleared section of driveway while you clear the area the car was originally parked in.

3. you’ll have an easier time finding a plow guy than you will finding someone to come snow-blow. Once you find a plow guy he will probably be able to let you know the best way for him to clear the driveway in regards to you moving your car so that will be a discussion you would have with him. It will depend on things like where you are on his plow route, where he is pushing the snow, and what kind of plow he is operating.

If you ever need to call emergency services they’ll need your entire driveway plowed to reach you as fast as possible

I only have a ged and mom's hours would be like 8:30 to around 2pm

We haven't turned on the oil yet this heating season.

I run the trifecta of wood stove, heat pump, and oil baseboard.

Heat pumps are great for the shoulder seasons, anything above 15'F for me. I run the stove below 15 because otherwise it roasts me out of my own house. Oil is set low as a backup.

Rent a center is a scam. Avoid it if you have any other options.

GeneticSwag and MagesticFeedback. I don’t need help shoveling (atm) But others do…Help your neighbors

That was a huge surprise when I moved to VT....I couldn't believe that BJ was not a penny cheaper than anywhere else in the country

So. Ya moving to Maine?

Nahh it's way more fun watching these newbs suffer

What’s Barre’s relation to the ski resorts in VT?

I’m assuming the bigger ones are set up like the Loaf with condos a plenty; which would make the numbers make a little more sense

And they confirmed on the FB City of Biddeford page. I specifically asked if it was going to be extended and they said no.

Going to need a bit more information here. Do you have any formal education post high school? What kind of jobs have you worked in the past (experience-wise)? What are "mom's hours"? Also, please never set foot in a rent-a-center. Their entire business model is way overcharging people who are most in need. Check Craigslist/FB marketplace/Uncle henrys for cheap used laptops or maybe even give your library a call. They often have loaner computers for students but if you explain your situation they may be sympathetic enough to let you use it until you can afford your own.

Mods can we get this image and that thread about the woman being stuck in her home without a plow stickied to the "so ya wanna move to Maine..." perma-thread?
