Reply to comment by commentsOnPizza in Boston Internet Provider Starry Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy by void_boi

I've been using T-Mobile Home Internet for almost 2 years because it is not Comcast and Starry was never an option. Can't say it is great. I can get decent speeds, but it seems I need to reset the modem on a fairly regular basis. Although I don't know how much my problems are my company VPN. I see problems on my personal computer and streaming audio has issues - although I don't know how much that is the streaming service.

A while back it totally stopped working, and tech support called me back and spent like 3 hours total on the phone until the issue was resolved.

Reply to HVAC Replacement Cost? by Dull_Victory8857

I put in a two head mini-split and they want me to subscribe to a $400 a year maintenance contract. They offer contracts up to $900 a year. I paid $14000 for the two head mini-split and I have 550 sq ft to cool/heat.

$28K for the full system sounds about right, although it make sense to get another quote.

My kitchen is 7583 sq ft. Anyway the $15,000 includes the everything costs more in Boston tax.

If you do this, you will probably have to bring the kitchen up to code for electrical. Well depending on how old your kitchen is. A separate circuit for every 3-4 feet of counter space. Separate circuit for every appliance (refrigerator, stove, garbage disposal, built in microwave, etc). My small kitchen has 9 circuits.

How big is your kitchen? I remodeled my kitchen, but it was mixed in with a lot of other costs so I don't have a specific figure. I would guess a bare bones remodel would go for $15000. I have a small kitchen and high ceilings - standard size cabinets weren't doing it for me and went with semi-custom cabinets to fit the room better.

I went with https://venegascompany.com/ for design.

The current forecast has just a few hours on Thursday that will be above freezing. Anyway, I won't be out on the lagoon Saturday morning.

It was frozen over once already this season. And it has been cool enough that the ground won't keep the water warm for as long.
