No school all week.. great. Manchester isn't even on cl&p list for estimated power restoration date yet

 

Evening all.
Miles you will pay for it in the spring, LOL.

 

miles i got my power back last night, and highland st and middle tnpk are lit up. you should be soon

 

north friggen guilford HAS POWER?!?!?! not sure why, but im not complaining. most of durham and middletown was all back up as well.

i think we will not be getting into this house. it was a long wasted day, and i paid a lot of money to find out something that should have been on the disclosure sheets. fraudulent pole smokers!

 

Aaron that is s shame.
What happened?

 

Good evening, hope your new first day of November went well CT. Good luck on the clean up.

 

Since I can't seem to find an EGR plate gasket ANYWHERE I took the downtime to install a school bus exhaust system on my truck today.

$45 3" mandrel bent stainless Magnaflow tailpipe.
YAY for Amazon closeouts!

I really need to learn to backpurge when I'm using 304 wire.

FU, New England salty winters.

That's good news. I'm leaving here with my dad at 6am to head back for an undetermined amount of time. he has to give a report on the condition of the golf course on a conference call tomorrow. If I get power back sometime during the day then my mom and sister will head back too.

 

Then its clean up time! Just about every tree in the yard is down or destroyed

 

its not 100% out of the question yet, but i dont see us getting into it. the renegotiation offer is unofficially about $50,000 less.
-we found **** and tube in the 3rd floor (unknown for first and second floors)
-the external sumps are illegally pumping into sewers
-3 of 4 flus on the chimney have been capped, and the single open flu being used for the gas boiler is not at all sleeved correctly and is causing serious backdrafting into the basement.
-the 200amp service was horribly and unsafely done. there is a slew of problems within the 3 panels, for example a 30 amp 220v breaker has thin guage 110v wires running through it.
-harry homeowner used interior wiring and enclosures for exterior applications, and we can jiggle wires going into the outlets and make fireworks.
-2 eyebrow windows at the top of the gambrel roof have about 5 different attempts of crappy flashing, all of which are not keeping the water out.
-no flashing on the chimney, at all
-2 layers of roofing, not the advertised recent tear off they were trying to sell me.
-gas heater chimney for the green house terminates INSIDE the garage. i guess thats what we call a heated garage?
-we found the asbestos, which doesnt scare me however was not on the disclosures.
-one fireplace has failing concrete under the hearth, so the bricks are very loose and move a LOT if you step on it, almost like you will fall through.
-the bathroom vents were routed to exhaust INSIDE the CAPPED chimney.
-all "upgraded" 3 pole outlets have open grounds....so they really arent upgraded at all.
-utilities on the outside of the house are not actually attatched, no biggie but another WTF find.

a lot of things i saw instantly today and had missed before probably because today was nice and sunny whereas when we had looked at it the first time it was dark and rainy, and i had already looked at 10 other houses that day. we went up with truck and tools and ladder, and thankfully had a good inspector that was all for us ripping into the house.

just knowing the chimneys were capped could have saved me a lot of time and money, and the house has been in the family since 52, so you know damn well they knew about the non-functioning fireplaces and SHOULD HAVE checked the appropriate box for chimneys and fireplaces on the disclosure sheets.

so i am thinking 50k should be enough to cover the list, or ill move on to the next house (when i find one...slim pickings for what we are looking for )

 

jim a year ago i had 2 of those damn plates, your timing is terrible.

the 3" exhaust should sound good

 

Saw this on facebook:
New drinking game: every time governor malloy says umm or uhh, do a drink/shot. Be careful!

 

Aaron,
I don't need the plate, just the gasket that goes under it.
The one with the "ear" sticking out the side.

FelPro 60003
Reinz G27350
Ford???
The friggin counter guy ordered me a plenum gasket for EFI.
(Five actually. That's the only way they will sell them)
I even gave him my VIN.
Douche...The muffler itself is fully welded, 8 1/2" around and 44(?) inches long.
I bought 2 1/2" flanges and welded it right up at the head pipes.

 

My Brother's at CCSU. I can't stand he gets days off and I don't (I'm at Storrs). Might have actually had some time to plan out/research some upgrades for spring.
