Reply to Looking for advice on talking with town clerk and zoning administrator about a build on acreage by SexyEdMeese
It seems like it should be relatively straight forward. but you might have to ask them (the town) what you need to confirm. Some towns are pickier than others for sure. We needed a curb cut permit (there were specifics on like how big the culvert had to be and how wide the driveway had to be at the street), and a permit for the house. I think that was it. The WW permit you already have. The well is already there. Is the barn worth saving? When I think VT barn... I think pretty basic, maybe not great foundation, etc.

I paid $2500 a few years ago each for very simple 1 outdoor/1 indoor unit , wall mount outside and run straight up the wall to an outside wall. I ran the electric to the outside wall. This is for the Fujitsu RLS3H. all sizes (9/12/15) cost about the same. I expect prices a bit more these days just because of COVID, etc.
This single unit pretty much heats our entire home 1800 sqft well insulated and sealed. We have a tiny 11k btu Rinnai in the basement which I really like to have for backup.

not saying you did anything wrong, but Just buying Top tier will probably avoid problems like this.

Reply to Serious question for Vermonters by RamaSchneider
One time our neighbor went out of town and told us to keep an eye on their house, but failed to mention to us that the OTHER neighbor would be feeding their fish or cat or something like that. First we called the neighbor and asked... could there be ANYONE in your house? No nobody should be in our house.
So yes we did call the VSP. Then had to do the whole NEVERMIND thing.

Reply to Fisherman dies after falling through ice on Lake Champlain; state urges caution on lakes this weekend by airhogg
I'm no expert on ice but I see people fishing at our local small lake when it has not been really very cold (plenty deep to not be able to stand ) and wonder what they are thinking.. The water under the ice on this lake is moving by the way . i would imagine that makes it less stable.

thanks everyone - I just parked in outdoor Lot 2. I just wasn't sure how hard or easy that was going to be. Turns out it was easy. It was like a 90 second outdoor walk and it cost me like $62 for 8 days or something like that.

great shot! i don't know much about owls but have noticed some of them (barred owl???) will just stare back at you from not very far away if they don't fly away first.

Reply to comment by AdventureSheepies in What is this garbage? It's neither syrup, nor Vermont.... by twowheels
honestly I have had this experience in VT, seems to have shifted over the years to using the real stuff by default.
The worst offense I've seen is fake crap put into a real maple syrup container and being served in a restaurant in VT...
Then there are the restaurants out of state calling the fake "maple syrup" ; they just don't know any better.

my wife actually loves stacking wood, i have no idea why but i let her do it.
I used to hate putting chains on my garden tractor, so I just leave them on all the time now.

Reply to Best winter shoes to avoid falls? by schnitzelcr3ek
I wear studded shoes , obviously you don't want to wear them on wood, etc. but this is the best option for walking on ice.
the lacing system is awesome too, you can tighten them with gloves or mittens.

Reply to Is wood cheaper than oil? by wholeWheatButterfly
This is a good easy calculator
You can play with Fuel cost and Wood cost

By the way... a heat pump at 18 cents per KWH and 200% avg efficiency fairly competitive with purchased dry cord wood.

Reply to New child tax credit offers financial support to families with young children by newnemo
I looked at my taxes, which I did like 2 months ago. Just wanted to make sure that I got this. I use TurboTax... and they are pretty good about these things. It looks like this applies to children born 2017 and later fyi.
