Problem with next door neighbor: The Bully & the Fence
Comments (176)Actually these threads do help others going through similar situation . May things like badmouthing, threatening, watching and recording everything seem to be common behaviors of these bullies. I stood down and let them even change my downspout on my house. Ignoring made them react more and more. I would say I learned deal with first issue first time.

Comments (11)They burn at low temps, water jacket,wood doesnt burn properly ,smolders ,chimney way too low. You do not want to be on the recieving end of this device. If you dont have breathing problems YOU WILL. Burning eyes, sore throat ,cough, tight chest.The people using these devices are merely trying to heat the home they live ,BUT do not understand the problems they cause for neighbors downwind..... once installed they are not going to give in to neighbors being bothered by such a device. Local authorites ring their hands they never have encountered such an issue.....See MoreNew boiler caused these issues?
Comments (6)1) good point about the crud - used shower for the second time (3) days later and afterwards drip was not there and has not resumed 24 hours later. I will run Sitz bath faucet for extended period to see if that can cure the drip. I love these no tool fixes that border on miracles of science! 2) I will have them make adjustment to mixing valve. 3) Type: Triangle Tube Prestige Excellence a High Efficiency Condensing Stainless Steel Wall Mounted Gas Boiler with a built-in "Tank-in-Tank" Indirect Fired Water Heater. 4) Another symptom appears to be occuring with the introduction of this new system: increased moisture in some parts of the home. Evidenced by condensation on windows in the early AM when indoor temp is 65 and outdoor temp is between 39 - 50. From time to time, this symptom occurs but usually when there is a greater degree of in/out door temp in the winter. However it is occuring during temperate weather. Second symptom is swollen wooden door threshold that is closest to the boiler - to the point that I have to yank the door open and shoulder it to get it to latch. Again this symptom does occur but typically in August on very humid days when there have been a series of rainy days with hot temps, and high humidity. This morning it was 39 degrees and yesterday's high was in the low 60s. We did have rain most of the weekend and this AM was moist so I am hoping this symptom is caused by weather and not changes due to systems. System modifications from oil to gas: 1) replaced metal flue that had a damper(?)that swung open/shut with a solid PVC pipe through which exhaust exits home. 2) They are not installing an intake pipe to the outdoors, rather using the air in the home. 3) condensate drain is pumped and contained in a vinyl pipe that is inserted into the laundry drain pipe - so no open water. Thanks all. Kath'...See MoreFinally getting to update my 1942 kitchen - WWYD?
Comments (32)Thank you, desertsteph, greenhaven and smalloldhouse for commenting! I will work on adding measurements this evening. I know those will be really helpful to understand size/scale. After reading through everyone's excellent advice and comparing Lavender's layout to our existing space and the current floorplan, we immediately decided to nix the pull-out pantry. Given the flow of our house we much prefer to keep the peninsula at the end of the current cabinet run (I know the plan I posted doesn't show the rest of the first floor for context, so that's my fault). I think in the end we are going to end up with a combination of the two. I totally get the recommendation to move range to the same side as sink and rounding edges of peninsula, that's something to consider for sure, with little ones and puppy underfoot. (Although now I'm thinking about the sharp edges of my Room & Board farmhouse table...). Here's the deal with the stairs. The basement and upstairs flights are stacked. So, you come in the side kitchen door and you either go down a flight of stairs to the basement, or up two stairs into the kitchen. You go up the stairs to the second level from the dining room. We have four doorways in the dining room (kitchen, porch, stairwell, and hall). Since our basement is not finished and we will be entering the house from the back porch/sunroom, traffic through the kitchen is going to decrease significantly...at least until kids are older and basement is finished. I'll be back later with measurements!...See Moremaddielee
