NYC to Albany, Albany to Wilmington, then Moover to West Dover. I could dream.

Montreal actually sucks as a city and is very depressing but my point was more that it has some of the best restaurant's that I've been to.

This is awesome, VT is surprisingly well suited for train commuting. Would be funny to see people in Brandon reactions to trains station being built 😂

Why? The Ethan Allen Express was expanded to Burlington just last year, and Amtrak is currently planning an expansion of the Vermonter to Montreal as well. A Montreal to Boston rail connection seems like a no-brainer too, and then that only leaves a few more nice-to-have lines.

Good luck making this happen. This is impossible (not physically but politically and cost wise). I appreciate your enthusiasm tho.

I like it, it's a Hearthstone but we got it at chimney sweep and I don't think I would buy from them again. A local hardware store sells them and I'd buy from them to keep the business local and keep a good relationship if anything went wrong. Chimney sweep isn't coming out for an hours drive to check into something. That's more important that the best deal or details about the stove. They all have to be built to certain standards these days.

Oh yeah that is wicked bad. Like around Allen Lumber? IDK what is going on but it’s like a bombed out war zone on that stretch.

I also have Haier. I've moved the thermistor so it sticks out the top of the unit (looks like a little black antenna from far away) and that seems to have helped with the accuracy.

Definitely depends what part of the state you’re in but yeah, Montreal rocks too. And while I agree with the majority of CT being a hellscape, New Haven is one of the few gems in the state. It also has pizza you literally can’t get anywhere else. I know you won’t believe me, but please hit Sally’s Apizza someday and thank me later.

They are connected by freight rail as is, actually! I debated their inclusion only because I-91 exists already and it has pretty low traffic volume. However, if the rest of this is built, they should probably be included as well.

Okay. I’ll watch it.

I think it might be an optical illusion because I took it from the front. It's pretty straight, just leaning slightly. The connection makes a 90 degree angle with the wall.

How do you like your stove? We've got a second liner in the chimney for a room in the basement that we're probably going to get a 2nd stove for. So I'm shopping around a bit.

Would it be feasible to connect WRJ and STJ?

Replace the accessible gaskets on your stove. I did just the door gasket and noticed a huge improvement in how long coals would stick around.

This would be great if it could compete with driving in terms of cost and time. Not sure it could do that though, but I'd be pleasantly surprised if it did.

Thanks for the advice. I think I need to split some bigger logs for next year. We purchased a few cords from the previous owner to get us going. Most of them are about 2-3 inches, very few at 4 or 5. That might be the key.

Really any State Park is a great choice. You can’t go wrong with whichever you choose.

That thing is pretty unique looking. I don't think I've ever seen a stovepipe curve like that either...

Our stove is now 18 years old but working well https://imgur.com/a/WlgTTyC

How is it bullshit? The social contract isn't even an ideology to be right or wrong; it's literally a way to organize a society. It's literally the philosophical basis of the US constitution. With a simple Google search you can find lots of articles on the influence of this model of society in the America's own. Or you'll just stick with fallacies again, denying it IS how the American society works without explaining?

About the deer: it's obviously less important – at least in the American view. The life of an animal is decided by its social relevance. If, to you, every single animal life is the same, you should be in jail for killing tons of bacteries at this moment.

The portrait room at the Vermont History Museum could work -- it's right downtown, so it would be easy for guests to get between the two spaces. Room would be big enough for 60 without it feeling too cavernous. The portraits would lend a cool backdrop, and it would be easy to dress up the room with a some floral arrangements and other decorations. You'd also be right by the State House for pictures.

Take your time. Try what I said about getting it going for overnight or all day, but do it first thing on a Saturday or Sunday morning while you are home and see how long it lasts. I do this when I WFH and don't want to be messing with it all day.

Again, not 3-4 pieces, one or two BIG ones. I try for one large chunk if I can.

on a sandwich maybe, not a pizza.

Ha! I don't know, it's our first year with a wood stove. No chimney fires yet! I just took a picture of it and posted it on /r/woodstoving/ a few hours ago.

I've been keeping up with the treatment, so the glass and inside of the stove are mostly grey and not black/glassy. So, I think we're doing okay so far.

We do have a thermometer on both the stove and pipe and we've been keeping them in the burn zone. I'm mostly just concerned with running it long/low when we're either asleep or not home. We can only fit maybe 3 or 4 medium logs in the firebox so I doubt we can get 8 hours out of it. But I'd like to maybe be able to go to sleep and wake up without starting fresh.

>My boss makes lots of money not having a clue,

Restaurants fail at higher rates than almost any other business. Margins are small and lots of competition. I therefore highly doubt this assertion
