Soffit installation

| Does anyone know of someone who does roof work, or siding? My newest insurance company project is to install soffits on the house and the company who was contracted to do it "doesn't have the bandwidth" all of a sudden. I'm sure they just don't want to make the drive up for the rate they quoted me. Does anyone know someone in town who would be willing to take on the project?iwasinthepool — 04:03 PM |

Exterior electric and water line converage?
|
| I believe it’s common, if not obvious why, for power companies to offer coverage for water intake and sewer pipes. Ours in Virginia does and we have it for the intake, which runs under a public sidewalk and costs thousands for repair and sidewalk restoration—it happened to a neighbor. Typically $7-8 a month added to your bill.

Hi folks,
I've been receiving a notice from Xcel encouraging me to buy "Exterior electrical and Water service line coverage". Has anyone done this? Is it necessary?
I've received several notices from "Xcel", by mail, on my door, and by email. It seems to be from a 3rd party, maybe affiliated or not with Xcel.
I didn't read the fine print, I tossed it.
Check your homeowners policy for such matters and or consult your agent, and read the fine print (what's covered and not covered) ;O)Hollis — 12:42 PM |

Beware of bad driver
|
| Thank you for posting this Eric! Yes, this is my vehicle being passed in the photo and it is actually a Hummer I believe with license plate 444CHRLIE or something like that. This vehicle passes me on the double yellow and at blind curves nearly three times a week (at least, depending on what time I'm heading up hill) unless I have a safe place to pullover. Never a blinker but instead he/she flashes bright headlights to "let me know" they're passing. It happens so frequently that I have stubbornly refused to pull over lately because I am doing the speed limit (or a little above). It is absurd. They do 45-50 in the canyon yet somehow slow down through town until they gun it to go over the speed bump and continue speeding up hill.
We seem to have the same commute time for the last few months....Jese Engwall — 10:21 AM |

Air Purifiers
|
| For what it’s worth, I have a couple of Blue Air that I got on Amazon during sales a few years ago. I’m really happy with them. The smaller sizes are easier to fit anywhere, but I prefer using the larger size on a lower fan speed. If I’m dealing with strong odors, like wildfire smoke or animals, I put an extra cheap piece of carbon filter on the outside, under the fabric outer cover. It allows the more expensive particulate filter to last longer. The outer covers are washable too. The app is simple and works well for me. My larger one is the medium sized Blue Pure 311i Max.Julia — 09:24 AM |
|
Air Purifiers
|
| Jim, we've used a Hathaspace HSP001 for 3-4 years. There is a larger model, but for two separated rooms you might want two of the smaller units. It's quiet and has been reliable. The filters are quality but expensive. Amazon replacements are half the price and half as good so they get replaced in half the time. The OEM filters are probably a better choice because of the thicker bed of charcoal.
With forced air, it could be that a single larger unit would be fine.Steven B in PV — 08:43 AM |

She s in the house now as if nothing much happened !

Century Link Battery Backup?
|
| O'B, thank you for all the explanations. I had no idea this had been going on for years. At some point I hope we as individuals can help lobby PUC or maybe our state congress-people or whomever. I'm happy to make a phone call (if the phone lines are working) and for sure write a letter or two or three.Martha — 09:01 PM |

Century Link Battery Backup?
|
| Hi Rose-while it's a nice idea, again it creates a situation where the lines could back feed and reenergize which isn't ideal. And CL/L would still have to approve since it's their equipment that the panels would be mounted on. We'll continue working with the behemoths on geologic time. We are making progress.O'B's — 12:52 PM |

Century Link Battery Backup?
|
| Thanks Martha and Chris for this conversation!
While talking with my brother, who is a Master Electrician, about the recent brown out's, etc., he mentioned this organization
He said that they may also have some kind of program(s) for small, rural towns like ours to get grant funds for community solar panels that could possibly feed into storage batteries that could help with this kind of situation also.
I did not inherit the electrical talent genes in our family. So someone other than me could look into this, if they are so inspired.Rose H-H — 12:43 PM |

Century Link Battery Backup?
|
| Hi Martha-
The BCFFA (Mt fire chiefs group) and BCC (Boulder County Communications) are working with Century Link/Lumen and Xcel to provide funding and training for the local VFD's/FPD's to connect generators to the switches (the battery terminals are called switches). We're also working with the Colorado PUC to coerce the large utilities to meet their service requirements. However this places the responsibility in the event of an outage in the wrong place. It is not the responsibility of the communities or the FD's to remedy the service outage caused by a PSPS (public safety power shutdown/Xcel) or alleviate CL/L's responsibility to provide service during an unscheduled outage. However, the primary interest of the VFD's/FPD's is public safety so we have offered to augment the system by providing this service if trained. Effectively, if a well-meaning responder or citizen were to connect a generator to a switch to provide back-up power, and the switch isn't decoupled from line power, the generator will re-energize the line which could start a fire or electrocute a lineman working to resolve the issue. Neither are good outcomes. The legal department at CL/L is reviewing liabilities and we hope to have an answer sometime in the next couple of months. Please understand that this has been a multi-year endeavor which is why we've turned to the PUC for assistance. Beyond that we are also working with Xcel and CL/L to work together, so that in an instance you've described where Xcel is servicing their lines and de-energizes them, CL/L can take the switches off-line and source generator power for them.O'B's — 10:02 AM |

Century Link Battery Backup?
|
| Hi folks,
We just discovered in Gold Hill during a recent all-day power outage that our landlines were useless due to lack of battery charge at the Century Link box. When looked into, Lumen (the new overseers for Century Link) says they will no longer service the battery. When asked if the Fire Dept. could attach a generator, they were told no.
Of course this is more than an inconvenience, it is a safety issue. Gold Hill proper has no access to cellphone service.
My questions are this: 1) What is the status for Jamestown? How was it resolved, if it was and 2) Who are the proper people (inside and outside of CL/Lumen) to contact?
Thank you for your help. Martha (formerly at the PO) in Gold HillMartha — 12:41 PM |

| Lately I've noticed a touch of early onset senility, not only in myself, but also in some of my friends and neighbors. I usually try to assuage my anxieties in that direction by cracking a good book and getting distracted by some scintillating prosage. Anyways, I always thought "BLOOD MERIDIAN" was Cormac McCarthy's best effort, but I dug out and started re-reading his "SUTTREE" and I'm not sure it's not even better. It's damned funny and full of vigor, grand elocution, and pungent irony. It reminds me a little of Nelson Algren or Frank Norris, but uses a much more baroque style seasoned with real down South dialog. It is full of novel use of language and I had to cool the pages of my dictionary from flipping the pages too fast. Some words he uses I could not even find. The upshot of all this is that by noodle was so stimulated that I swear I'm at least five phlogiston units smarter than I was last week before I started reading it, and my urinary tract seems to be working a little better. It's good medicine, try it. SvHLynn Wilber — 07:14 AM |

| Solid wood desk with three drawers and a hutch. The hutch is unattached (it has attachment points) but honestly it's all so heavy I never bothered to secure it. This is a nice desk!

Interesting Birds

| Hey Steve ~
What a beauty! Thanks for being an awesome "caregiver". I used to have lots of various Grosbeaks in my yard.
Not so many the last several years. Michelle informed me that numbers of Flickers have declined. Used to see them often, now none.
I miss all those guys. Normal? to have species vacate habitats? Or is it competition and predators?
I do see an abundance of Crows, Stellar Jays and Magpies. They seem to be the "ruling gang".
They even go after Rudiger's rabbits!
Looking forward to hearing Our Bird's happy songs in the forest!

Interesting Birds

| Some of our winter visitors include 3 Clark's Nutcrackers, and the first male Red-winged Blackbirds of the year showed up on March 1st. There are now about 40 Pine Siskins and Pine Grosbeaks coming daily.
Recently, a female Pine Grosbeak bumped a north window and sat stunned on the cold concrete. I moved behind and picked up the bird using the banders grip. I warmed it in my cupped hand with hot breath, and when she perked up she moved onto my index finger to perch. I slowly walked some 50 feet to where my camera was on the ground and moved her around to let the sun warm her back. Temp was 25F, so the sun was relief.
This beautiful girl remained on my hand for a half hour. Two other female Pine Grosbeaks landed briefly on my head to check on the situation. This lady was alert, watching and listening to other birds, Pine Siskins, various nuthatches, Steller's Jays and Clark's Nutcrackers.
Pine Grosbeaks are high altitude spruce-fir forest birds that infrequently encounter people, thus they are relatively tame and curious. They are the largest North American finch, and their range is circumpolar We can sometimes walk by within two or three feet, and they keep feeding on sunflower. With patience, we might hand feed them. They are one of my favorite birds because of their tame nature and their cheerful "Chur-Leep" call! Currently, we see about 30 Pine Grosbeaks feeding around the cabin every day.
The bird was fully alert, watching and listening to all that was happening. She was comfortable knowing that my hand was safe and that she was free to go. It was so much fun, but my arm was tiring and I told her that I had to leave to go bowling. With that, she flew off into an Engelmann Spruce and began calling, Chur-Leep! Chur-Leep!
Tomorrow evening, I'll give a talk on Hummingbirds of the Western U.S. for the
Montclair Bird Club, NJ. Come join us if you will.
