@JCTW - 1, I have not found any forums around combi oven usage because there has been so few people that have taken the effort to put in a combi oven due to the electrical requirements. Frankly its the same as putting in a Level 2 charger for a Tesla or any other electric car. 2. We bought new as these ovens can run 24x7 in certain professional kitchen environments. Clearly i would consider a used model if you got an amazing price and if you could validate the condition and # of cycles it has gone through . Electric has a longer lifespan vs gas just due to the nature of how combustible gas works. 3. We have service from the company that installed it in for us and they have been phenomenal. No issues really after you put it in and follow the cleaning cycles. These machines are meant to run full time in service kitchens. My only advise to share is to look at the 61 model that takes a GN 1/2 pan vs the XS that takes a GN 2/3 pan. The price difference is minimal but you cant roast a 20Lb turkey or a 6 bone prime rib in a XS . Good luck

That is not cold...They will be fine in temps lower than that; I usually bring them inside when overnight temps stay constantly below 10*C (hopefully not before November :) Couple of nights ago temps here dropped to 9*C, daytimes are in mostly in mid- to high- twenties. Shade/lack of light would be bigger problem. But if you get 4-6 hrs of sunlight, it would be great. Your Sempervivum (#11-14) would grow much better outdoors. They are Alpine plants, and very hardy. You could keep them in containers or in ground. They will be better off if they spend winter outside. If you keep them in pots, pls. add more soil - right now, they are very deep inside of pots.

We need window treatments for privacy in the marina, and mostly for sun suppression. The amount of heat from the sun shining in is tremendous. Light colored window treatments will reflect quite a lot. Limo tint. You mean like they use on auto windows so you can't see in? Can you see out?

Yes! That is my goal! We work 12 hour shifts here. If you're gonna be here for 12 hours, you might as well have some fun at Christmas time! I will say though I do feel bad sometimes. One year, the office staff announced a door decorating contest........ Now in my DEFENSE, not only do i NOT consider myself office personnel (I am not classified as such, even though i work in an office), and not only did i not ask to be entered into it (the queen does not dance with peasants, after all....KIDDING), but my decorations were up and operational weeks before any "door decoration" contest was mentioned. Now, the ladies who organized it were certainly more than happy to not consider me, they never even asked. But there was a plant wide outrage when it was known that they were not considering my decorations for the contest. So they came over, took some blurry pictures, and made some catty remark about being too tacky for THEM to work around everyday. (not sure if they were referring to me or the decor. :) Don't care either way )Needless to say, i crushed them all and there hasn't been a decorating contest since, even though i offered to exclude myself from it. Sore LOSERS!!! They do have an ugly Christmas sweater contest that maybe 5 people enter. (myself NOT included)
