How do people afford the upfront cost of solar? (lemmy.world)
 

I just got a DIY kit quote for solar and it's ~$18,000. That would mean a contractor installing is at least $25,000 if not more. That's a big chunk of change upfront.

If it's necessary then how did my last tank make it 20 years without one?

What's an expansion tank? I set it up like the old one was set up. All I did was disconnect the old one and reconnect the new one to the same pipes coming out of the wall.

Are there any well maintained hotel in North America? (lemmy.world)
 

So I've traveling and tried a few and they all seem to have stopped maintenance. Chipped pain, walls that desperately need paint, things that have been cleaned but just not thoroughly.

What's your favorite outdoor finish that maintains the wood look (no paint)? in c/[email protected]

I may have to try this. I have a number of outdoor projects coming up. How do you think this finish would work on furniture?

I worked at a 3rd party Apple retailer (they had a legacy contract from the 90s that only expired about 5-10 years ago) and they bought the cheapest RAM they could find to upgrade the Macs. They made hand over fist on RAM upgrades and still came in under what Apple charged for the same upgrade.
