Try Scott Kaplan at Pineland Farms in New Gloucester. He was my therapist for one year and did a great job.

Pellet stove. We keep it at 68 when we’re home and 63 when we’re not and when we’re sleeping.

Reply to comment by heggieknitter in Well came back positive for coliform and landlord hasn’t shocked it. Advice? by moxonrox
I found a company that will do a follow up test to identify the type of coliform for $50, so we will see what that turns up in about a week or so!

Yeah, that's a big reason I went with their router. That and I didn't wanna owe Spectrum anymore than I needed to since my last router was their router.

The original test 6 months ago did have those steps taken, but great info!

Did they know what was going on? I truly know nothing about how tech like this works.

I was afraid it was the router. I also didn't know the won router fee which is super annoying. We're planning on moving to another state in a few months so I'll take u/bigspoutwhale867's advice to check the lights on the router to see if it says anything helpful before calling.
Buying a new router for just a few months seems like a pain.

75 at all times with a wood boiler my upstairs stays cool because the baseboard is only on the ground floor.

I ended up having to use Teledoc bc I couldn’t find anyone with openings that took my insurance (Aetna). But on the bright side, Aetna doesn’t charge me any copays or deductibles for using Teledoc so I guess that’s something. My therapist is located in Florida and said that maine is pretty much begging people from out of state to get licensed to work with patients in Maine.

you make a great point about the potential anonymity that comes with a larger student body; to answer your question, a career in software engineering is the path i’m currently looking to take

I try and keep my appartment under 64 degrees. If I turn the heat on the ladybugs come out from god knows where and start swarming the place. The only strategy I've found is to keep it cold so they stay inside the walls which also helps me save on heating oil I guess too

Oil heat set to 50, wood stove heat when we're around.

I dont really have a good reason other than I prefer to do it in person. knowing myself I would take it more seriously if I had to be somewhere.

Why not interested in doing it online?
I mean yes, there are some clear advantages to in-person, but FWIW I've been doing it online for a couple years now and it has still been massively helpful.

Just your average homeowner. Maybe a landlord someday, seems like a lot to work though.

We have a mid-1800's house with just two adults and we both work from home most of the time.
Primary family room is separate from the main house. We keep it 66 when we are using it, 54 when we are not. Heated by LP gas stove (Jotul Sebago)
Main house is 60 during the day and drops to 54 at night. Heated by heating oil and radiators. Three zones. We'll bump the heat to 65 as needed.
Bedroom's heat is managed by the main house heat but we have a 1500 watt electric heater in there and will set temp to 64 at night when we need it...most of the time we don't and it's in the mid to upper 50's.

It’s really hard to find anyone taking new providers. I eventually just gave up and tried it online and it was weird at first but I’m used to it now. I know that isn’t the answer that you were asking for but if you need help it might be best to start online even temporarily until you find someone in person. Wishing you the best.

You want to build new $1800 rents, ill roll my eyes but no "NIMBYs" have the power to block them. Ether way build nothing or build $1800 rents and the longtime Mainers making well under 100k head to the streets. We need housing for all, not free market idealism

Similar, oil furnace with radiators: 62-65 during the day, 55 overnight. The house is well insulated so it usually doesn't drop to 55 anyways.

Go there quite a bit. It's definitely rough around the edges but the owner's very nice and motivated, and the food at the bar is pretty good
