Yeah and if the plumber doesn’t want the job for any reason, or your house turns out to be hazardous, he or she can walk away. They don’t owe you anything.

The pandemic has shown us a taster of what it’d be like.

Make sure it’s visible. If someone tries to use the fire with it blocked up, no bueno.

You can get something to plug the chimney , google “chimney sheep” to see what I mean. Obviously have to remove it to use the open fire.
It’s spelled “radiator” by the way.

Commuter railways into Boston would help, surely. Americans are mental.

Is that really a problem with the employees when they’re not provided reliable tech? You wouldn’t jump to blame the workers if the tech issues happened in an office.
If the employees are lazy I’d call it a recruitment and cultural issue. Why are they not motivated? Maybe higher ups who jump to conclusions aren’t helping.
Anyway all us desk jockeys who wfh means less traffic which surely helps people who do have to get around? Additionally when we work just as well from home making us travel to sit at some other desk is all kinds of stupid.
