What brand are they?

Yes! I’m so glad you were successful. Also, Samsung appliances are the worst. We have a cat that was able to light our Samsung range…. When I called they said the knew it was a problem and that I could buy 150.00 of safety knobs. When I mentioned that I live in maine they were suddenly free.

Unfortunately we're trying to finish the basement which is where everything is stationed. The layout works much better removing the oil tank, so doing it later means we have to use the "worse" floor plan. Otherwise I'd totally agree with your thoughts.

The Sewell system on Ash Swamp Road is quite small, but a pleasant meander.

A lot of virtue signaling BS

I'd install the heat pump and keep the oil as a backup for a few years to test it. See how much you use it and how you like it.

I've considered doing the same (I hate how loud the boiler is). I use a pellet stove as my primary heat source in the living room, and it's kept my house warm enough that I only used 170gl in 10 months (includes hot water in the summer). I'd like to eventually add a a heat pump or two as backup, and eventually get rid of the boiler.

I'd advise not to do anything drastic that can't be undone easily or cheaply.

Would you expect it to last 4 years? I would and that is what the law states. You sound bitter as fuck.

I'll be sleeping well for sure. I just don't want anyone scared away from trying to use the warranty because someone had the idea that it was stealing resources from Mainers or their reason wasn't good enough. I love the Maine warranty, and think more people should make use of it when it applies.

I think it's foolish to remove a system that works rather keep it as a good, proven backup

Precipice Coffee in Ellsworth is pretty good, also like 44 North on Deer Isle.

Bard and Rwanda Bean

I am a fan of the Bella Maria by Wicked Joes out of Topsham.

Came here to say this! David is the best!

Probably a scrub answer, because I haven't shopped around for anything fancy, but my local Hannaford has Wicked Joe beans and I really like their Sumatra, I drink it daily.

I can’t say it the best, as I haven’t had them all, but I do like coffee from Rooster Brother in Ellsworth.

Bold claims even.

> Here at Rooster Brother we devote a lot of time and attention to the whole process of selecting and roasting coffee. Our standards of freshness are the strictest in the business.

I like speckled ax and Bard is Portland. I also like carabassett coffee in Kingfield. Bucklyn is also really good. Ship wreck in Farmingdale is good too

Bucklyn in Blue Hill

The I phone you use is probably made with slave labor in China. The cobalt for batteries in a lot of electronics and electric cars are mined by children in Africa. Boycotting U.S businesses is truly First World Problem Bullshit.

The law is 4 years in general but there’s wording about an “expected useful life” so, a small or large appliance would count, but shoes would not. I used the implied warranty at lowes for a range that quit working. Manager told me “have fun doing all the legal paperwork for that” and I said ok no problem. 30 seconds later he said ok we’ll send a repairman, and they fixed it free.

Tell them you are contacting Maine Attorney Generals Office

That does seem high. Here’s the website I used to grab the average: Maine Heating Fuel Prices

I’d check with them, ask them why they are nearly double the average. Was it an emergency delivery? Off hours?

Or may be dependent on how much you use, or don’t use: “Households using propane just for cooking or hot water generally pay a higher per gallon price.”

I'm not a coffee drinker, but my mother is obsessed with Moses Dyer (Last Dark blend)

Yes, and I do not miss it at all.

I do enjoy rearranging the wood letters they have on the end caps. Usually spelling something like birth control, anal, or other random phrases. I found if you mix them into other letters around it and make it look squared off, people don’t notice it right away.
