ISO New England, the grid operator for New England, has long considered hydro as non-renewable power.

LL Bean Wardens Coat. At a minimum, you want a parka that falls below the hip. I am also a believer in detachable hoods (in super cold, I use a hat and the hood) You should research the difference between down and synthetic insulation to be sure you get what will work best for you. The better LL Bean products will last a long time.

GCs are babysitters with big contact lists. I learned to accept the cost added for a GC because I do not have a contact list and I can;t stand babysitting adults. Good Luck

consider two smaller vehicles; minivan sized Parking a large van in NYC will be a PITA

You plow the entire dooryard.

Porch and garage roofs collapse for two reasons; because they tend to be flatter plus they do not have heated living space underneath to help melt the snow

I have a 1990 Weber gas grill that is still going strong. Replaced only flavorizer bars and grates. Still on the original burner. I actually believe that I am better off without a cover because the cover holds in all the condensation. My grill is used year round and lives under a second floor screen porch in northern New England. My Weber comes from the early days when they did not have a fancy model name....you simply specified two burner or three burner.

Pro tip if you have access to a machine shop or fab shop....buy stainless steel angle iron and cut to length for flavorizer bar replacement; they will last a very long time.

Do not stay in one place; keep the wheel moving. Staying in one place and simply pushing can create too much heat which in turn loads up the wheel. Just move the wheel slowly back and forth along the cut line. Keep an eye on the spark plume, you should always see a good shower of sparks.

I have cut huge sections with abrasive wheels and the trick is not to sit in one place.

Use an abrasive wheel; in particular use the thinnest cut off wheel possible for your angle grinder. To minimize heat buildup with abrasives, simply rock the wheel back and forth a bit and use light pressure. More sparks coming out of the cut equal less heat staying in the part. After cutting, let the part air cool.

Always wear proper eye and face protection when using abrasive wheels, other important PPE may include dust masks, hearing protection and proper clothing. Be sure your cut off wheels are properly RPM rated for your grinder.
