Radiator heating with a boiler in the basement and separate AC systems for upstairs and downstairs

It's actually just a SpacePak air handler, so no heating equipment or AC compressor, just the intake, handler, and some ducts, though it seems those might also be important to keep in a relatively conditioned space

Thank you, this makes a lot of sense. Much appreciated!

Yeah that's pricy, thanks a ton for the info!

Decisive, I like it. Thank you! Just to save on installation and materials?

Ah right, I totally misread ceiling as meaning rafters and thought they were suggesting the opposite. Makes more sense now.

Thank you, out of curiosity, how does that save money if we don't heat the attic (which we do not)? I would have assumed that keeping insulation closer to the floors we do heat would have been more efficient, but I am asking here because I admittedly know very little about it.

Punctuation is part of grammar, you're right

I'd add a utility knife, a cheapish ratchet set, and a set of metric and imperial allen wrenches to the above, and you'll be set to take on the vast majority of basic DIY projects and general things like furniture assembly for any new pieces

It'll still be hot if put it away like that shortly after using it, easier to just advise against it altogether

Sure, you could say that. But it looks like somebody has both.

There's a difference between having a small dick and having small dick energy. And tbh the energy is worse than the real thing.

Are you threatening me?

Alright sweety, thank you ma'am

Sounds like they are just being rude/allowed by their parents to be rude then. The real LPT should be "don't invite yourself to other people's houses" I guess. As a kid when I'd trick or treat with a friend, we never went to their house, we just met in their neighborhood and then returned to our own homes after. But yeah, if showing up uninvited somewhere, I suppose you should at least come bearing gifts

Yeah I guess in my mind that's just the price of living in a nicer area and being a host. Plus, your kid is going over there to trick or treat at your friend's neighbors' houses, not just your friend's.

This feels like it's similar but 2 or 3 steps beyond bringing a bottle of wine to someone's party. It might be a nice gesture, but the host should have enough drinks without it that they don't run out if you didn't bring more. That's just planning and standard hosting responsibility. Unless it's specifically a potluck or you've assigned specific things to specific people, it's on the host to do the hosting (which, to be fair, is why I rarely host). Plus, if wine doesn't get drunk the night of, it will still definitely e appreciated and used later. Some people don't love having extra candy in the house, and they may have planned well enough to have all they need on their own.

I agree though that this would be generous if you knew someone was under-prepared, but it just feels like that shouldn't be the case for them and it certainly shouldn't be expected of you.

wait so you're supposed to bring candy to give back to the houses/families after they give you candy? just cuz your kids have friends who live in other neighborhoods? I think the real LPT is to buy candy based on expected traffic rather than the number of permanent residents on your block.

Alright well I'm gonna check it out anyway. There could be something delicious in here that wasps do make, and I want that.

Now for some delicious honey! People say that wasps don't make honey, but there's no science to back that up
