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.

True, but IIRC campaigns are also good at spending every last nickel and being destitute/ un-fine-able.

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.

Reply to Does your gut/gastrointestinal/digestive health affect how you feel mentally/psychologically? by lilm8ey
Anti-depressants can sometimes help with digestive issues as there's a LOT of brain-to-stomach neuron activity. If crippled, body goes whacko. The right drugs help connect the two.
You may also be clinically depressed but the most noticeable symptom is your gut.
Talk to your doc!

Try a roofing contractor or tree company with bucket truck.

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.

Reply to Who's hiring in Portland area. Benefits is main priority as well as work environment. by Throwaway2020_etc
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.

I've never heard this outside of Mass. Their booze laws are different and attempt to boost the small businessman running a "packy." Maine's are looser and anyone with a pulse can get in on it.

Their ads used to say "Irving's restrooms are clean! clean! clean!"
They're tried branding the store as Mainway, Blue Canoe, Rusty Lantern-- nothing's stuck! Some are co-branded as Circle K but that's an established chain.

Why couldn't someone in that situation set up housekeeping so "the good stuff" isn't visible to solicitors at the front stoop? Or meet them just outside?

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...

This is the way. There are also hunting apps that superimpose lot lines over GPS data on your phone.
