Thank you!

I did the taco one once and that's funny because I was thinking exactly what you're saying "this can't be that good for business". That being said, I did find one or two places that I go to, which I didn't know about beforehand.

I own an estate sale company and post on EstateSales.net and EstateSales.org

This is the list right here

However, I do believe battery storage is just one big engineering discovery away from breaking through and the costs dropping dramatically. Once that happens, I'd definitely consider battery backup.

Makes sense…. That’s a lot of cash for something you wouldn’t use often.

No prob! When my neighbor goes to Project Hand Up, she gives me the stuff she can't use, and I take the stuff I can't use to one of the pantries.

Or even as a HELOC/second mortgage. That could be a smart partnership for a local bank and a solar company to send out as marketing. Offer a low interest rate loan to people to get solar panels.

I do not. At the time I looked (a few years ago), I think it was going to cost about $35,000 which I just couldn't justify for the very few outages that I have. My electricity usage is already net-zero, so the only extra benefit of batteries to me is to stay up when the grid isn't working. For me, the outages are too infrequent and not for very long, so I didn't see the value in a battery backup system.

LOVED the team at Newport Solar. The owner, Doug, is an expert in the field and is someone who regularly represents the industry at the Statehouse, testifying about the science and benefits. He's no fly by night or just out to make a quick buck. Highly recommended.

Sure, that can be taken into consideration. But the same can be said for any home renovation. If you redo your kitchen and that costs $20k, will you be there long enough to pay that off? Maybe, maybe not, but it also helps with resale value, just like solar panels. If/when I sell my house, part of the selling points is "free electricity!", which should add to the value, and theoretically, add to what I can charge for it.

Any recommendations of where to find estate sales?

Anything from the train derailment is long gone. You should be more concerned about local air pollution sources like power plants, asphalt batching, and diesel exhaust. Not to mention the multiple quarries in Rhode Island that don't do adequate dust suppression and blanket the neighborhood with silica dust (carcinogen)

however if your heart is set on it, you could run method 8260C on liquid water. However, there's nothing specific about snow that would change the results vs all the rain we've had since the derailment.

Awesome thank you!

There are also free pantries where you can just drop off the food anytime in Providence in front of Urban Greens market on Cranston St and in front of Project Weber/RENEW on Broad st.

Thirded, we did the same. Pics over the pedestrian bridge after came out amazing!

LC-MS would work

Probably had a better chance with the rain we had shortly after the incident. Its been weeks since it happened I highly doubt this snow we have has any traces at all

When will you be offering the class on the "brush the white stuff off the top of your car" technique?

In my experience they were extremely overpriced and tried to upsell me on a system nearly twice the size I needed under the guise of “more profit’” from the renewable energy growth plan

It’s the name of the street there. Kind of like how there are streets named after all kinds of things, people and places

This is one reason to go with a local vendor and get recommendations.

That finally makes sense… still, make it after the town, especially if it’s a name shared with a town. But otherwise yeah it’s cool

Yes, it’s a chain, but not from around here…

Raising Canes is opening in Johnston and chicken is kind of their thing.

Well, hello neighbor!
