In addition to the suggestions here, when you do call, ask them to confirm the meter number attached to your account. (Not sure if you recently had a new meter put in or any changes like that?) One time (albeit in a different state), the power company transposed two numbers on my meter during some update, and I started getting crazy bills. Took months to straighten that one out.

Ugh, this is awful. A dead rabid raccoon was found in Gray a few weeks ago, too.

Millions, divided up amongst how many?

Twice at least. The snow slides off the solar panels, and there’s quickly a massive 18” pile on my back deck. Add onto that everything coming down directly on the deck; it needs to be managed throughout the day.

Nice shot and great quality!! I had one on my trail cam in the late fall, but it blended in pretty well with the leaves.

We went with heat pumps and a duct system for our primary heating source along with solar, but have a newer/well-insulated house, and a South-facing roof. The roof facing direction can make a huge difference in terms of your solar production, as does insulation. The tax credit was 26% on the solar plus an inverter upgrade when we did it, now it’s up to 30% so keep that in mind as well.

We went with Maine Solar Solutions, and they were great to work with, provided quick estimates. Happy to answer more questions if you have any.

My mom (from PA) loved having the opportunity to speak French at a Burundian coffee shop in Portland during her last visit. She lived in West Africa from 1972-1974 and doesn’t get to connect with the French-speaking African community much anymore. It really made her day.

Well that alert results in more questions than answers. Namely, should I stay or should I go?

Probably a kick back to a friend within the party.

Seems PA voters told you the God’s honest truth already, and you couldn’t handle the truth. Why even waste money hoping for a different answer?

Saw one car, one SUV, and one truck on the side of the road on my 24-mile commute home tonight. Roads were absolute shit.

And geez people….consider stopping distance. For the love of all things, don’t tail!!

In Gray; power’s been out since 9am on 12/23. It’s 1:56am on 12/24 and I woke up to investigate a thud…still no power and thud is inconclusive.

Such an easily triggered bunch of snowflakes ❄️

I find it pretty telling that they are unusually offended by someone commenting on poor product quality at an unrelated business.

But, if they’re happy advertising their business in a way that ensures no “libtard” money will be coming in, and that their reputation remains poor in the area….well, good for them. Lol

This one!!!

Yes. Yes it is 🤤

Yes of course! I used this recipe and used Allen’s for the brandy. Also did not bother with the piping bag bit because that’s too hard. Lol

Made an Allen’s brandy-soaked sponge cake recently. While Allen’s is👌 in its natural form, it can enhance other awesome things

Try Wolfe’s Neck Farm in Freeport

My trail cam caught a bobcat entering my backyard this week. I’ve sworn up and down for months that I saw one run across the road on my way to work one morning. Husband, brother, and parents didn’t believe me. Now I have the terrifying proof lol

I mean….in what part of Maine are you referring?

We did, and they were pretty useless throughout the process, suggesting several times that we settle for a higher figure. We switched insurance companies afterward.

Seconding this. Years ago, my husband (driving a 12-year-old Prius) was in an accident with an $85k Audi. He was at fault, rear-ended the guy at a low speed during a rolling stop. Even though the Audi guy told him not to worry and that it was ok, he was ok, it was just a scratch, and drove off, he proceeded to claim that his car was near totaled and began repairs to try to get to replacement cost. He also claimed whiplash.

We got an itemized bill through the insurance company and found out he had his scratched Audi towed six times, and charged everything from a new bumper, new paint job, to new front windshield wipers towards the “totaling.” His insurance claimed a “ripple effect” meant all of these repairs were needed.

We refused to pay for 2.5 years, until the other party agreed to mediation, and whipped out the itemized bill immediately which reduced our “owed” debt astronomically. We settled at $12k-ish damage. Still a ton, but manageable. The alternative would have ruined us financially for good.

Wooo! Virtual Gray block party!
