My premium didn’t end up going up. I don’t know much about insurance it’s always been decently transparent to me. But it was the first claim on decade+ old policy and the only other tree remaining close to the power lines I had taken down when they came to clean up. Which I guess you could consider a reduction in future risk.

Yeah but…didn’t your premium go up? If you had gone with someone cheaper it might not have gone up as much

Something a little different but has anyone heard of an outfit called collisionpgh? Saw a flyer for what looked like a private public party featuring sort of death ....space ambient... techno stuff...

> I drive, bike, and walk. Everyone sucks.

Amen to this. Every group feels the need to claim a moral high ground to justify why they should be entitled to special treatment.

We should all be prioritizing "is it safe" and "is it reasonable" as higher priorities than "does it inconvenience me" or even "is it legal" (at least when passing judgement on others).

I'll guess $1, Bob.

Somehow those sirens never lose power.

Yep and it’s already leagues above a forced air system. Radiators stay hot for hours

What Pittsburgh ordinance bans it?

They're just covering their butts in case one of the thousands of townships in this state makes a rule that they can't. Pittsburgh doesn't have one.

When did bikes become motorcycles?

I think the more important question is "Will it be accompanied by a siren, and will every other local municipality ALSO blow their siren in solidarity?"

Fucking old people LOVE a goddamn siren blaring all summer long, for mysterious reasons.

There are Union plumbing/hvac shops in pittsburgh. Their techs aren't on commission like many of the large non-union places. The labor costs suprisingly are often less at union shops. Ask when you call.

My former landlord first alerted me to Gillece 13 years ago. There was a large thread on Nextdoor with many people describing instances of trickery and shoddy workmanship.

If that's what it takes, I'm on board.

My life motto: “Don’t Get Fleeced by Gillece!”

This. I was scrolling to see if anyone else brought this up. High efficiency is a catchy name, and they are highly efficient but doesn't educate on where you are to begin with. Heating water and pumping it around a house is tried and true.

My director always used to say “ call Gillece and then call the police”.

When the time does come for your boiler replacement, Frew Plumbing did one for me with upgraded tech for about $8000. They had been nursing my old one along for several years and never pressured me to replace until it was actually time. Gillece - I could go on about my experience with them. Suffice to say their $99 drain clearing thing actually costs $600 with a whole lot of attitude thrown in.

if you just moved in you might have a home warranty, we had ours when we bought our house and saved a bunch of money from it. I pay for it now because it's nice knowing we won't get a multiple thousand dollar bill for something like the AC or furnace (last summer the AC went out and was replaced under warranty).

That’s jus the carbon monoxide doing it’s thing. /s
