re: Greece- Island hopping

Posted by nolabuilder on 1/19/24 at 5:57 am

Santorini has many, easily accessible beaches especially if you stay around the middle of the island. Crete doesn’t but was our favorite island to visit. It’s huge so just a few days won’t put a dent in what you can do here. They have beaches but it’s very spread out. Can’t go wrong with either. ...

re: Mildew smell coming from floor outlet

Posted by nolabuilder on 11/15/23 at 5:22 pm

The conduits that are used aren’t necessarily moisture proof. I bet most floor outlets likely have moisture issues but the AC usually will remove that moisture regularly. Your rug is likely preventing the AC from removing the moisture. You can try to seal it with some expandable foam to see if that ...

Do you place the rug on top of the floor outlet? If so, that could be trapping moisture within the outlet. ...

re: Question about Termite Contracts

Posted by nolabuilder on 11/9/23 at 6:38 am

The contract is initially paid by either you or the builder and covers the house for a total of five years from slab pre-treatment. This is around $.25/square foot and includes pre-treating the soil under the slab before pouring concrete. The termite company will then come out annually at a char...

re: Entergy Auditing/Rebate Programs

Posted by nolabuilder on 8/22/23 at 6:08 am

Not sure if it’s the same program or not, but I signed up for a similar program with Entergy where they send you small rebates - around $50/year or so if you sign up. Problem was they have access to your thermostat and set the temperature remotely during high energy event days. For instance, during ...

re: Food in Crete?

Posted by nolabuilder on 6/19/23 at 12:53 pm

We ate at Peskesi in downtown Heraklion. Would not recommend dining there though. Wasn’t impressed with the food or the atmosphere. If you’re in Rethymion I can highly recommend Achinos Rethmyno. Delicious food and great service. We also toured the Titakis winery and, as part of a wine and olive o...

re: How to spend a day and a half in Cape Cod

Posted by nolabuilder on 6/14/23 at 5:36 am

Went last summer. The entire cape is easy to explore and that’s what we did, going from beach to beach. Our favorites were the beach by the Chatham lighthouse and there’s one going up the cape that was known for having seals. Had to pay and take a tram to that one but we did see a few seals and the ...

It’s a great time. Make sure to swim in the Aegean. Freezing but worth it. Also if you’re in Oia go by The Boozery at the main entrance behind the church. Great drinks. ...

Also in Santorini currently. Staying in Mesaria which is more centrally located but not as picturesque - more of a neighborhood it seems like. Santorini has been an easy island to explore with rental cars. Highly recommend Pyrgos Cafe and Metaxi Mas for dinner. Both were delicious with spectacular...

We are also going to Greece in a few days. Athens -> Santorini -> Crete. Our travel agent sent us this site for massages in Santorini. Apparently they will come to you but I contacted them a few days ago and have not heard back. https://wellnessmalaxis.gr/en/massage-services-fira-santorini...

re: advice on porch fan and lighting layout

Assuming you can wire them in concert with the other two fans, why need leave the current fans in place and add 2-3 wall fans located either on the beams or closer to the house to supplement the other two smaller fans? No moving around or patching needed and the wall fans may help with better circul...
