I have noticed many pockets of terrible verizon service in Baton Rouge recently.

I pay $175/mo for strictly service on 2 phones. 4 more months and I am going to Visible to see what its about. I realize it is Verizon towers, but I can deal with the issues if I am only paying $60/mo. If Visible doesn't work I will try something else.

It's possible. I would also check your fuses in the air handler in the attic.


Here is how you can check your contactor to see if it is getting proper voltage, if you have a multimeter

I have been thinking of doing something similar at my house for awhile now. The existing exterior wall is load bearing, so you would make the window a door, or run a beam across the top so you can open the entire wall up to the new space. Need to find a good framer with a roofing license. I have one in BR if you need.

The biggest hurdle will be the plumbing and where you have a sewer line to tie in to, or you can run a lift station.
Any have any experience with the no dig, no concrete?

Where they drive a metal pole into the ground..

We were leaving our resort in Cancun a few years ago and were waiting outside the resort for our scheduled transportation to the airport. While we were waiting, another couple was also waiting for their transport. They had been waiting a lot longer than us. Our transport arrived and I offered for them to ride with us to airport. They accepted and were grateful as they would have missed their flight.

Just depends on what the other people look like and what situation I am in for me to ask or offer something like that. I think you are not wrong in asking.
Once we fill up, I will hit the button to randomize the draft order.
6 team playoff starting in week 15

If we have enough interest by early Tuesday, I think we could go to 12 team
Yes - and it is actually best practice to pigtail the wires as if an outlet fails for whatever reason it won’t kill the outlets down the line.
FIL works at a local Toyota dealer selling used cars, he’s been there 10+ years. I’ve seen his W2’s. Makes around 180-220k per year

Idk if I would consider it the bottom. Maybe roofer door knocking.

Depends on how much buildup you have on the coils outside

6 years is a long time without cleaning. I try to clean every 1-2 years.

Dirty coils restrict the amount of air that passes over the coil, which reduces the ability of it to cool properly. Increases strain on your compressor. All of which increases power consumption and your utility bill.

Theoretically if you keep up with changing your filter inside, your indoor coil should be pretty clean and not need cleaning.
