Toy's for Tots New England 2023

Sorry can't make it this year due to a scheduling conflict. Will miss you guys

 

I'll be there. It's only 2 hours from my house.

 

Your dog is great...and yeah, she loves wheelin'

 

Is there a dollar limit? What ages?

 

Good question, thanks for asking.

No dollar limits and for both boy & girls and for new borns to teenagers.

 

Likely out for this weekend. Work issues.

 

That sucks

 

Yep. And it is beyond my control, but, as usual, I need to solve it.

 

We need a dislike button!

 

I won’t be able to make it, I was looking forward to this too.

 

Definitely out for this weekend. Equipment ready, and all other personnel are lined up and scheduled?
Sorry all. Was looking forward to getting out, and getting the truck dirty...

 

Its ok, there will be another chance for you to get it dirty and more beefed up. Sorry that you won't be able to make it sir.

 

Yep, I'll have a good chunk of time at some point....

I'll take the OT.. oil, came today... oof...

 

Oil is why I will forever split wood we got a refill in October and haven’t used more than 5 gallons yet

 

I can't afford to heat with wood.

I grew up on doing it. The time investment....
IF I could get away with an outdoor wood boiler, I'd seriously consider it.
I'm hydro-air, and IDHW here...

 

We got a delivery yesterday...$3.59

 

Pellet stove, I didn’t use a drip of oil to heat the house last year, drained the baseboards and only use it for hot water.

I went through about 2 tons of pellets, about 600 bucks.

How about some snow in this thread, please?

 

Never gonna happen. I got this place so cheap because the previous owners did that. Then it froze. Only 1 place to put a Pellet stove, and it just ends up heating that one room.. and basically making that one room useless. I couldn't get rid of it fast enough.

Never gonna use pellets for heat. No real way to effectively do that in this place. Plus, again, time.

As it is, I get bitched at for the house being so cold during the winter.

Only way I'm getting off oil, is NaGas.
Im content with being down to 100-140gals for heat and hot water for a family of 5. If I can get some more windows done, it'll be even better. As I've added spray foam during renovation, it has helped tremendously.

I designed my system to be "dual fuel"... 2 heat pumps, one for each air handler, back up by oil.
But, when I went to get my outdoor units.. availability was.... a problem. So, it is currently just hot water, and regular a/c. May, or may not ever change them out to heat pump.

I'm content with the system. It's the rest of the house I struggle with.
