  1. all I can say is, based on what I have heard form people that i know who have had shingles-get the vaccine. a day or 2 of side-effects beats the hell out of shingles, which can be the gift that keeps on giving. and you can get shingles multiple times (although it is rare).
  2. i never had chix pox, and got the c-pox vaccine 10 or so years ago. and my doctor strongly recommended that I get the shingles vaccine, specifically Shingrix
  3. so those who have installed, do you uninstall? More 90’s ain’t walking through that door anytime soon
  4. it was 72 at 11pm last night-and 75 in my house. I will admit to the AC installers that it was uncomfortable sleeping last night, and will be tonight. but i made it through the night with just the window fan and ceiling fan. Install date still TBD
  5. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ the break even point is years beyond when i plan on selling my house. Or more likely I'll be dead before i break even
  6. lol forsythias have not even bloomed up here
  7. he is in New Jersey. no one in NE is installing, except you. an 80 degree day here or there does not prompt many to install, exspecially in April. Installation for me won't be before mid-May unless the temps are consistently hot before then, which is unlikely here in upper SNE/lower NNE
  8. 36 off a mid nite high of 45. just a lovely spring evening out there
  9. 20 FOOT base depth. some years we are lucky to have a 20" base depth around these parts.
  10. i was right at average this year (~72") over the last 5 years I averaged 61", which is ~85% of normal.
  11. C. I put a lot of weight on the pack. The pack sucked for most of the year. We had a great March, but March snows don’t help with the pack
  12. not to mention you would still need to hire a plumber to install backflow prevention
  13. I definately don't recommend DIY. it's a ton of work.
  14. yes, includes the full system. Make sure you get a smart controller, like the Rachio. it is a little more expensive, but so worth it.
  15. 15 year old kid from Boston died at Pats Peak yesterday. tragic. I skied there Friday night and conditions weren’t bad and it wasn’t icy, so I’m not sure what happened.
  16. no way will anything be more than budding in southern NNE by 4/15. Not a chance. maybe down by you, but not up here, and I’m in south central NE
  17. irrigation used to be around $75/head. And like everything you get what you pay for. a company near me gets a ton of biz because they undercut their competition by close to half. same price per head, but a lot fewer heads. The goal is to cover head to head. the cheap guy near me, the coverage is not nearly as good. With good water pressure, the heads should reach around 30’. So you want them spaced no more than 30’ apart, the closer the better, which means more heads and more $. my guess is that your system is going to come in around $5k
  18. like someone just tossed a slice of american cheese at your face
  19. come on man, that's what the neighbors bushes are for.
