    The speculation is endless, but I’m of the opinion that the public doesn’t have a right to know cause of death. Doesn’t matter if the deceased was a public figure or not. The right to privacy doesn’t end with death.  
     

    Needless to say were she and Murphy republicans the media would damn well find out and publicize the cause of death and anything else they could dig up about her medical history if they thought it would be politically damaging.

    They'd also have lots of questions why the governor left someone with her illness in charge while he is overseas on an extended vacation.

    How is Whirlpool today? (i heard they bought maytag).  Or are the LG or Samsung top loaders better?

    Whirlpool bought out Maytag about 15 years ago.

     LG and Samsung have a high percentage of Chinese built components, some of them are even assembled there.

    Whirlpool/Maytag FL's are good. Easy to get parts and service and USA built. 

    Speed Queen TC5 if you want a deep fill, no lid lock, classic top loader that will last 20 years.

    I'll cut to the chase and spare you the details. While I was replacing the board I finally thought it was time to 'upgrade' to LED bulbs and kick in my share of savings to global warming climate change. It turns out that many LED bulbs are little RF generators so they interfere with the control head's reception of the remote signal.

    Indoor LED's can also be damaging to the eyes and health in general. But hey, who really needs good vision anyway?

    "However, the heat generated by incandescent light bulbs, which is infrared radiation, is actually beneficial to your health, and hence worth the extra cost.

    There are major downsides to LEDs that are not fully appreciated. LED lighting may actually be one of the most important, non-native EMF radiation exposures you’re exposed to on a daily basis.

    If you chose to ignore these new insights, it can have very serious long-term ramifications. It could lead to age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which is the leading cause of blindness in the United States and elsewhere.

    The tank has been in the ground for almost 70 years.  I think they poked it with a metal rod before they pulled it and you could tell it sounded like a solid 1/4".  I suspect you will have the same and no problems. If it was leaking you would have noticed on your oil fill bill.  Have confidence .  You'll be fine. Pull it. 

    Wow 70 years, our tank is mid 1960's.

    Pulling it now is the way I'm leaning.  We don't have plans to sell and Glenn explained that even if there was leak the owner is not under obligation to do remediation.

    Could be a problem selling the house of course with an open case but at least the tank would be out and I'd have time to decide what to do.

    I used a company called Steve Rich Environmental.  They charged me 1200 bucks and there was zero problems. I would use them again in a heart beat.

    I called and spoke to Glenn, very helpful and informative going over the options available.

    He said based on my situation the chances are small the tank would fail inspection and I should just go ahead and pull it now. 

    I also could spend $600 or $1200 to have soil tests done beforehand to check for contamination. The latter involves excavating under the tank and comes with $20,000 coverage if there is an undetected spill that needs remediation.

    On the other hand, I would have to spend around $3000 to comply with the Proguard insurance service agreement and may have to wait another year to be eligible after this renewal. Plus a $3500 deductible and $500 fee to have their rep come out at the removal.

    Try talking to your NG supplier, If I remember right, when we had a house in the Bronx, we contacted ConEd and they got all the permits, took old oil unit out and installed new gas unit, also had a payment option.

    Yes, they offer that but they don't get involved in removing underground oil tanks.

    Are you trying to get the state to pay for ?

     

    No 

    We have a tank insurance policy, they require an above ground tank be installed and continue using oil for a period IF we want to be in compliance with their service agreement (i.e. covered by their insurance) if the tank is pulled and found to be leaking and a costly spill needs clean up. 

    Basically, the policy that we've been paying for many years makes you jump through a lot of expensive hoops if you want to convert to NG and not risk losing your shirt in the process of removing the old tank.

    Any one have experience or recommendations with removing an in-ground residential heating oil tank?

    Our tank isn't leaking that I'm aware of but we want to covert to NG.

    However, I'm finding that to be covered with a voluntary pull you must first install an above ground tank and continue using fuel oil for a period of time, then you can have the underground tank removed.

    Tank insurance is $654 with a $3500 deductible and due in August. Who knows what an above tank install costs, plus another fuel delivery just to get to the point to spend another $2000 to pull the tank.

    anyone got any suggestions?

     

    i'm mostly asking 'cause i'm generally not a fan of gift certificates........

    Cash is my favorite gift.

     I hate gift cards.

    They're a hassle, get forgotten or lost and give money to woke leftist LGBTQ loving corporations.

    Concealed means concealed. Just say'n.

     Use a CCW in a prohibited location and face felony charges?  No thanks.

    Even in a mass shooter incident N.J. would still hit you with weapons offenses and enjoy doing it.

    And what prevents them from moving the bar yet again?. they went through the process think they’re good and following all the stupid restrictions set … and after the new bs kicks in they are a felon without even knowing it….

    That’s insane…. Hopefully one of the 20 gun groups blowing up inboxes for money are taking action on this in a preemptive instead of reactive manner 

    Not insane if the goal is discouraging as many as possible from obtaining a CCW permit. 

    There is a reason why firearm ownership in N.J. is one of the lowest in the nation.

    The smoke and haze filtered the sunlight to a spectrum that looked totally unnatural, and more resembled the incandescent lighting we have in place.

    Weird! Never seen that before.

    Came home for lunch, turned on the bathroom light and I was like, hmm that light seems extra bright and white?

    Went on my laptop and same thing.

    Everything had such a orange tone in the house warm white incandescents appeared extra bright and whitish blue.

    Once this is all said and done, I am definately looking for a new FFL. I like the convience of it being in walking distance from my house, but all their fees are too high.

     I'll be paying a $50 a month storage fee.

    I drive an hour from my house to use Steve at Monmouth Arms precisely to avoid these kind of rip offs and other hassles.
