re: Running power to my shed

Reposting my response to your previous tread about this so hope it helps. Will give you 2 20-amp circuits for next to nothing. No need for sub-panel as you will then need grounding.

50 ft 12/3 UF-B wire 100 bucks
20-amp 2 pole breaker 30 bucks

Configured as a multi-wire branch circuit with a shared neutral, that will give you two 20-amp 120-volt circuits in your shed for barely any more cost than a single 20-amp circuit and allow you to run bigger appliances if needed down the road.

My work gave me two months for both my kids. I took a month off once my wife went back to work and actually never got back around to using the other month for each.

I like more off-the-path island so St. Kitts is a great one for me that has enough population and amenities due to schools on the island. But for truly isolation, Long Island, Bahamas. Amazing beaches with hardly any travel to it.

Man, I feel for yall. When I left SE LA my premium was 1,100 and even living at the beach in Jersey currently (I know no hurricanes but expensive COL) only 1,800.

I see them almost every night here in Jersey. It's crazy, last night there were 3 by my town just sitting there.

Triangle X ranch outside of Jackson has been around forever. I hunt with them every few years, but have stayed with them before as well. Top notch location and operation. The Turner family has been doing it a long long time.

I only spent one day in San Juan before heading west, but my wife and I still talk about our dinner at Marmalade in Old San Juan. It's a 5-course menu. Opt for wine pairing with it. Have a drink before at the bar. The global warming drink was something I still try to re-create.

re: Do you know anyone who still smokes inside their house?

Bought a house in April from somebody who chained smoked in their house. Took a lot of work and money to get the smell out, but we got it done. I think the smell turned enough people off we were able to get the house a little cheaper than we should of.

re: Bahamas - house/condo with a boat

Posted by TheNolaClap on 8/27/24 at 7:33 am to Breauxfessor

Exuma would be the best boat jumping but check out Long Island as well.

Tiny's Hurricane Hole is the spot on Long Island. Michelle, the owner, will be able to hook you up with a local to rent their boat. They have a protected dock to tie up to.

To do what? I live in Point Pleasant and it's a great chill surfing/fishing beach town. Especially between labor day and winter when all the fests are going on and beach vacationers are gone

Due to federal and state incentives. 7500 fed tax credit (so not technically out the door I had to wait 4 months to get credit) and 4000 from NJ that was off the sticker. I agree with you on the larger scale of the initiative not being sustainable. I saw an opportunity to get a basically free car for a commute I was going to have to do anyway so took it

I have a Model 3 that I walked out the door for 28,000. My work allows me to charge and I commute an hour each way on the highway. The financing cost for the 28,000 is cheaper than gas to do the commute in my f150. So I get a Tesla for the cost of insurance in my case. My decision was purely financial, F the green shite. Plus it's a fantastic commuter car.

Plus in the northeast, charging is everywhere if I really need it. I get a break on off-hour tolls as well.
