Reply to It’s time to update our state flag by JuiceOld5801
The state flag should be drawn on one of those portable message signs. Maybe have the flag vanish so it can show the message “To Exit 10, 7 miles, 25 minutes.”

Awww, poor shill can’t answer this question because the shill knows those signs won’t exist.
Buzz off and tell your company we’re not interested.

CT looks like a private nonprofit.

Ad hominem attacks of cowardice - almost as if you’re a professional who’s livelihood depended on this.
And in this case I am correct - you are getting paid. Who else is this passionate about installing regressive taxation solutions that are effective only for raising money for private companies?

Reply to What is the cheapest way to get ductless mini splits or central air installed? by MormonReformist
No to handman. You can DIY it's easy takes about an afternoon to put one in. Total cost for a 1.5 ton aka 18000 BTU unit with buying tools is under 2k.

Do you plan for cameras to be everywhere all at once?

There are DIYs. And it's not overly complex, if you are good with tools.
If you are not, it's your house. You will end up saving about 10 grand, given your quote. But it is your house. You should consider the future value of the installation, as well as the value of a warranty.
Ignore the 'town inspector' worries. Mini splits are commonly installed by homeowners. You will need to use a licensed electrician, will need building permits, and potentially may need your main electric panel upgraded to a higher level of service.
Get the facts, do your homework. It can be done, but is it worth do it yourself in the long run.

I would not trust non HVAC with a mini split. They are finicky enough as it is.

Sooo, I got hired into electrical design back in 2021. It took 4 months for them to offer me the interview and then another 5 months before I started. This is most people's experience with getting a job here minus some very select positions. We are doing the major hiring push, but, like was mentioned above the majority are in the yard. Unless you come with some serious experience and some rather specific experience at that, do not expect to come in as a designer, and even less so into detail planning. Most planners I know moved within the company. I too have a degree and didn't start at the bottom tier of the design tree, but, not very far from it.. raises come quick the first 3 years and no matter how much you think you learned going to school, you'll realize you don't know jack shit about designing the stuff we do.
My advice would be to apply for a draftsman-learner position to get your foot in the door. If you get in you can always move up ahead or schedule.

These things are a scam, usually run by politicians buddies' companies who get millions of dollars for providing the equipment, processing and maintenance.
It is more about revenue generation than safety.

Our workzone speed limit is 45 and they were flagging people going over 60 when they were calibrating their machine and collecting preliminary data for this.

Yes. In Fairfield, Last year in September. Lead to my wrongful arrest. (Cops got the wrong guy sharing my exact name.)
I was pulled over for not having a front LP. Ended up in jail wrongfully. But I got released on a PTA and the sued the responsible party.
I won! But yeah, I put my front LP on immediately after this experience.

Unless said "handyman" has being doing that exact work for years and is a Subject Matter Expert, maintains a license for that sort of work, and has a small army of knowledgeable workers to help with the installation, what you're going to end up with is an interminable project that tears up your house and might come in slightly cheaper than just hiring a company like Harp in the first place.
Also, the building department for your town/city is going to want to inspect the completed work. Think about that.

It'd be nice if we could adjust fines based on income as is done in Finland. $150 from my pocket wouldn't be overly significant but some households it would be downright harmful.
