I helped break down signs for a local candidate. The bent metal "wickets" went in the metal dumpster while the good ones are being saved for the next race. (We assemble them with new signs from the printer ourselves.) The plastic cardboardy stuff is theoretically recyclable, and went in the recycle bin. It's as recyclable as anything else that went in that bin, which is dubious.

There may be the possibility that that green space needs to exist for the subdivision to be legal.

Example, developer buys 10 acres. Town required two acres per lot. Developer builds five, one-acre lots and leaves five acres of green space for the residents of those lots.

It's probably not so much the building code but they want to make sure you have an appropriate setback from your property line/ neighbors and they will want to know if you've "improved" your house so they can tax you on it.

Realistically if my deck needed replacement and I kept the same footprint I wouldn't even ask.

Are you capable of physical labor? Portsmouth Naval Shipyard has its apprentice program open. There are free van pools out of the Portland area, too. Jobs start at $20/hr but most get up to $30-ish after 4 years.

Wanting benefits, a cubicle, no people, and no physical work is a /r/choosingbeggars scenario.

The Post office is also hiring.

So in Maine you can't just google all the snowmobile trail maps, they're a secret. You have to know the secret handshake, and they teach you that in the club you join. Pay dues and contribute physical labor. And yes you should invest in a snowmobile, the club will surely have a guy that flips them.

If you have a car, you'll have to figure out how to park it so it's accessible by both sled trail and highway. You can't park on the highway and private landowners really don't like plowing around a strange car that isn't contributing to their financial well-being.

If you don't have a car, your career options are limited to working the gas stations along snowmobile trails, internet WFH stuff, and growing pot.

We aren't really in "the pattern" yet. It's kind of like flicking a light switch-- we're still in "early fall."

Gotta get 22 degree nights, 38-40 degree days, then, whump, there it is.

Say what you will, they're among the largest independent chains of shops.

My new prius has a 4G connection to Toyota motherland, so if I ever get a check engine light, they'll know about it. I can't disable it without also killing my hands-free phone-- I've tried. I told Toyota to ignore my car but you know how that goes...
