You can't emit visible smoke for more than 5 seconds at a time but it's up to the cops to enforce. There isn't an emissions check at state inspection time aside from the Cumberland County OBD check on vehicles under a certain weight, and that the exhaust system is complete and not leaking.

  1. Yes, so if you need emergency services they can pull up to your house. Also oil deliveries.

  2. I can't speak for your property, but you'll figure it out. Don't leave your car in the street, it's a hazard to navigation. Brush it off, pull it somewhere you've already shoveled, then shovel the spot your car was in.

  3. No it isn't. Have your plow guy push a turn-around on your frozen lawn or some other convenient spot, so you can park the car there while he plows. Aside from a 14 year old neighbor kid you won't be able to hire a snowblower.

I run the trifecta of wood stove, heat pump, and oil baseboard.

Heat pumps are great for the shoulder seasons, anything above 15'F for me. I run the stove below 15 because otherwise it roasts me out of my own house. Oil is set low as a backup.

I could NOT get the time of day from realtors advertising on zillow/ redfin. Wound up getting a FSBO from Craigslist of all places. Used an attorney that advertised he'd do anything for $500, LOL.

About three months later I got a text from douchey realtor who finally got around to another property I had been interested in.

I went to one at the Cumberland County Civic Center probably 8 years back.

They roped off the first 15 rows of seats so the trucks would have a crash buffer.

The trucks didn't seem to have enough room to accelerate to do the better stunts.

They didn't have alternators so the drivers spent half their time charging their trucks back up and fighting over the lone extension cord. The trucks look like they'd seen better days-- their tires looked like they dug them out of a playground.

Kids had a chance to meet the drivers before the show, mine didn't quite know what to do.

But at the end of the show this dinosaur thing that shot flames came out and cut a car in half, which made it all worthwhile.

Vermont give the fewest fucks about what you do with your land. Perhaps it's them acknowledging that everything's a hill, so what you carve out, you've earned it. Trailer on a slope with cinder blocks propping up the low half? No problemo!

I agree, NH is like a demilitarized zone, always someone going from somewhere to somewhere else.

Maine has the greatest contrast between coastal yuppies and dirt farmers. NH could too but has way fewer miles of coastline.
