I think the actual answer is - it’s complicated and are we talking DND or Greek mythology or WoW.
Short answer is - Satyr

Eastern Henrico would beg to differ.

nice! Not enough coffee to remember that.
Is there a male equivalent? Or can Dryads be male?

Richmond is spending lots of money to tear up perfectly good intersections to put in brick crosswalks that after a couple years sink and then become speedbumps. But hey they look pretty.

yeah, that'd be my guess. Breakins seem more likely in the day around here for that reason. Ex outbuildings

There are some tax credits (or rebates?) starting in 2023 on windows among other things to make a house more power efficient so fully understanding the tax offset and getting some prices is on the to do list. (I think it’s only $500 annually but there’s a few other programs as well…)

I hadn't realized that, somewhat surprising.

I'm not sure verbatim matters - I screwed with that one on purpose, but you can always just go ahead and make that claim. Doubt anyone would care either way of course

Reply to PSA: Always turn off your house main water supply when you go out of town in the winter by Charlesinrichmond
here's a nice video of the problem as it happens. Big issue is when no one is around to turn off the water

Currently in an apartment with forced air and we were freeeeezing last night.
Our new house has the kind of heating you have and I'm sooo excited for it. Just have to suffer until February.

They’re all doing great. Was worried that the house settling would cause the windows to tighten up after a season of expanding and contracting but they still feel brand new after 14 months so far.
The price would be cheaper if we didn’t get a new front door. That alone was about $1600, I think (including the door itself).

if you can adjust it, this isn't a good time/temp to keep your house on 55, because of thermoclines. I would only do that if your insulation is excellent and your are sure your pipes are not in the outside walls.
The power bill for a couple of days is nothing compared to the literally unlimited amounts of damage possible.
And always turn off your house main water supply when you go out of town in the winter. Summer too, but especially winter

I’m terrified to start getting quotes for the remaining original 1960s windows in this house - gotta say that number sounds far cheaper than I was expecting. How have they held up so far?

Found an exposed iron(?) pipe under the deck that lines up with the hot line inside. Wrapped that and used some fiber glass to fill in the gaps as much as possible. We'll see if that works.

I'm in. Family obligations on the 31st, but I could do Friday 12 or 4. If I were to curate a route for you, we'd go from Amelia St School, down colorado, through the cemetery, n bank trail to nickel bridge, around byrd park lake.

There is also an odd wrinkle (or used to be) in VDOT funding where only driven lane miles are apportioned for funding to the localities. Richmond has a much higher portion of the road itself used for parking and therefore not funded by VDOT money.

From my past reading on the CVTA, that money is just granted to the county and many of the other towns/cities/counties in the central Virginia area. Chesterfield I think is one of the largest recipients. But still it's not really given in a management capacity, it's considered revenue on the county budget. Interestingly VDOT maintenance isn't accounted for in the budget, which is something I've been trying to learn more about. Like how does VDOT allocate money per county and what is the invisible expense that isn't on the county ledgers because they fall under VDOT discretion?

Victoria's secret's sizing is a joke. Their 34 D was too small for my (measured) 32 C chest (back when I tried them when I was a teenager).
