You can always postpone it - they will come knocking (via mail) the next year though lol.

Does that cover liability though?

Right. Yours isn’t the first post I’ve seen lately about super high electric bills after getting the mini splits or whatever they are called. Yet it seems like the state is pushing this system. I’m just confused

All I am telling the OP is that don’t go in it with expectation that it’s going to save them money on the heating, because it may not end up being that way.

There's always a chance - but you did go strait in a left-only lane. Personally just I'd pay up and learn from it.

Most cities pass that responsibility down to the property owner.

This person is correct. Fight it if you want or you can take the ticket and learn to accept your mistakes when driving a giant piece of metal. Ask yourself: What’s the worst that could’ve happened? You’re going left now instead of straight - So take the next right turn or find a spot to pull over and reorient yourself.

You’re trying to rationalize a wrong move instead of just owning it and figuring out how to not end up in the situation again. Ever see those videos of someone who misses their exit and tries to cut multiple lanes to make it across? That’s the same mentality here. Just take the next exit. Where’s the rush?

You didn’t do it on purpose, but other people do and that’s why you got a ticket.

What about on-demand hot water heaters? I had one installed at my old house in CT in 2020. So far both quotes have been more than double what I paid then, the old house had two bathrooms and this house only has one. There is nothing out of the ordinary about this installation either, both companies said it was a cookie cutter install.

I use to always get Cambridge and Woburn and appealed for lowell. My appeal was granted every time (3 so far). I don't mind serving but would prefer it be convenient especially if you get called to serve and it's a multi day trial.

Unless your sidewalk is on your property, "Government agencies, such as municipalities, are responsible for most other public areas such as parks, roads and sidewalks".

I don’t get why more people don’t just accept they made a mistake and just do what a vehicle is supposed to do and then adapt later.

Outside of getting on the pike further out west where exits are spaced super far apart, most errant turns, missed exits, etc rent dramatically changing anything.

Today there is a liquid nitrogen spill on 495 in chelmsford that is really complicating things. WBZ 1030 traffic on the 3s will give you an update and a giggle.

They quoted me 28k for 2 heads for a space about 600 sq ft. I thought it was a load of bullshit.

Considering the only real costly part of the install is getting the electric right I would look at doing a self install if you are handy. It's mostly boring a hole and hanging the unit then running the duct to the compressor. Hire an electricians to hook it up to your box and save yourself 38k.

I also was considering replacing a little boiler instead of the mini splits and they said that would cost about 18k. For reference they replaced a huge boiler in my house for 12k and told me that a unit half the size would cost 6k more. They also told me they couldn't install a high efficiency boiler in the space because it was right but another company said they would be able to fit it.

IMO they are taking advantage of expected inflation and seriously gouging.

That seems like a really high electric bill. What is the advantage of the Mitsubishi system? It seems like it’s expensive to install and uses a lot of electricity??

Ski Bradford going to be crowded today.

Was there a big white arrow pointing left on the pavement?

I got lucky and went for the snow storm on Friday

As possibly the only masshole that has never and MAY never ski or snowboard, even I feel for you guys lol

Lowell isn’t to bad from Woburn. There are courts further/way more traffic than Lowell.
