The issue is they did not or where lazy to find the what they are now calling aerial trespass for the past easement

Still being stuck in permits, and trying to get temporary power. Still no roof yet as contractor has to do other work before mine and due to permits.
Had to move temp service 3 times and still Eversource has not put power to it yet. It's only money, $1,400 so far and more to get permanent power later.

Code for NH was R30 but it is now R38 minimum for the attic. While walls currently stand at R21. The basement ceiling which was none now is R30. Oh joy I get to spend another $3,000 plus to insulate.

My used pellet stove that was donated to my heating has been installed in the basement.

Gw's topics are part of the definition issue when looking at moon versus mars as the terms for one can't be used for the other.
Toe hold, foothold come to mind for words to define size and efforts. Others are settlement, base, colony act that go towards something of permanence.
Of course the last attribute is applied in cost to these.

Having continued bad luck as car engine is toast along with more stuff. Looking like a week plus before I will have it back.

There is a huge guest viewing of 171 which means old user are attempting to deny service from spammers most likely.

Trump with the 2025 project play book is with Elon Musk try to run government like a business that is in trouble and people are the pawns in the game of business.
All the terminating will not help the government business function or improve as doing more with less staff does not work. Probable 300,000 plus will be fired and with accountability out the windows.

My phone that had my Google account needs my desktop to move it to My new cellphone.
House is still in stalled mode awaiting permits and winter to end snowing conditions.

Hold up again for roof change for overhang and back deck upgrades causing more delay not to mention snow caused as well.

I can see there is quite a bit of misuse of funds that are not questioned by the IG offices.Budget structures of agency operation all include operations overhead so not all funds got to the intended targeted use. It seems that OMB does not control the agencies overhead.

Nuclear reactor cooling is separate from other sea water uses as it's a closed loop system.

#15 Re: Meta New Mars » Housekeeping » 2025-01-25 07:39:46

I am still here peeking in now and them. The home has finally started to take shape in that the what was a frame now has walls, windows and door plus a roof all in a waiting state for the metal roof and vynil siding.
All rebuild was forced to use current construction codes. Hence upgrade from 2x4 walls to 2x6 of which the code will soon change to 2x8 which is over kill to get insulating value in the walls.

Seems that mini splits small .75 ton units can be bought at places like Home depot for 500 that are in the 9000 but or under 500 Sq ft area use size.

Like all mars it starts with no connection back to the deliverable mass and energy requirements to the proposed work site for construction.

I have been part of the competition contracts in the past for device creation. They start with statements of work and specifications to meet to achieve the funding.

Good morning all, use of submarine style mars people life is on earth doable under a set of conditions.
1 Nuclear power.
2. Water for cooling, source for drinking or food prep, oxygen creation.
3. Dry and some fresh as well as frozen plus canned goods for mess hall food service.
4. Bunks space are common with minimal possessions.
5. Assigned work station plus schedules.
...list goes on.
It's not just about efficient space use.

Have a merry Christmas to Newmars.

Still not with water tight walls yet and the roof is with water shield paper. Waiting to see if all plywood wire on by weekend.

Rain delayed work on house rebuild and improvement with more materials being ordered for Tuesday use followed by more deliveries to do roof and more to seal it up before more weather happens.
