    That's a Downy or Hairy Woodpecker (I can't tell them apart, but if I had to commit, I'd say a male Hairy).  If they are bothering your siding, put up suet feeders on the trees and keep them busy - they should leave your house alone.   We have Pileated Woodpeckers quite frequently - they look like Woody Woodpecker, are close to 24" tall and are very loud.   They're fond of Sassafras trees and usually kill them by excavating nearly rectangular holes about 3" wide and 5" tall right through the tree.

    When I hear it from the Gov's office, it will be more interesting... :)

     

    Classic announcements where criticism is expected are normally done Friday afternoons after 3:00 PM - that's what I would expect for an announcement if it's a done deal already.

     

    With 100% Republican opposition I had it on good authority (Assemblyman) that he would veto.

    IANAL either, but life history tells me paper trails cause problems.  You got what you want, he got what he wants. The state got what it wants (COE). Transaction over.

    No, the State (NJ) doesn't get anything. One copy to the buyer one copy to the seller and the State doesn't get a copy. That's the point and the reason for a bill of sale. Example: You sell a long gun that you originally bought through an FFL to another FPID holder in NJ (no record of that to the State). The buyer takes the long gun home, tosses out the COE and at a later date his house is broken into, the long gun stolen and used in a crime in NJ. He doesn't report it. Guess where the firearms trace is going to lead the police to? You, because you have the only extant paperwork (original FFL COE and 4473). It would be helpful to you if you have both the buyer's COE AND a proper bill of sale with his signature.

    Anyone who is going to answer #26 "yes" has to address the details at the time of the FPID application.   If you're going to answer "yes" then you need to submit a letter from the treating doctor (psychiatrist, etc.) stating that they are treating you for "x" condition and that you aren't a mental health danger to yourself and others.  This happens all the time for security guards and police officers who may be treated for one of these conditions and it should be no different for civilians.

     

    Once you are denied you have to (a)  appeal to superior court and (b) state on any re-application that you have been previously denied.

    I also have a HVAC background.

     

    You said you had some problems with the furnace, what were they?  Whats the BTU's of you're furnace?

     

    Here are a couple of things that will shorten the life of a heat exchanger

    . 1. Improper cycling of the blower. 2. Not enough air flow across the heat exchanger. 3. A damp basement, your 90% furnace has no pilot light to keep it dry. 4. Improper burner setup.

     

    Your cooling at 5 tons is over sized for 1700 SF. Using the rule of thumb of about 600 SF a ton, puts you at about 3 tons. When a AC system is over sized it does not run long enough to drop the humidity. You end up with a cold and clammy house.

     

    Did you have this system installed if so was it done by professionals or was it there when moved in?

     

    I have seen some DIY installs were the homeowner figured bigger is better. The size of the return duct is also a factor of how many tons of AC you can effectively install in a home.

     

    I would not put any money into that furnace. See if they will give you the heat exchanger. If so sell it and the furnace to someone could use to heat a shop or garage. Its a easier to install the HXC on the furnace when its not connected to anything.

     

    ^^^ Good advice and exactly right on why 'bigger isn't better' for A/C compressor/condenser size ^^^

    This will be interesting since SCOTUS has essentially ruled this sort of requirement unconstitutional. The NJAG's office will be in the position of either complying (unconstitutionally) or actually interpreting the law as unconstitutional in the post-Heller world:

     

    3. The handgun ban and the trigger-lock requirement (as applied to self-defense) violate the Second Amendment. [**2787] The District's total ban on handgun possession in the home [bold]amounts to a prohibition on an entire class of "arms" that Americans overwhelmingly choose for the lawful purpose of self-defense[/bold]. Under any of the standards of scrutiny the Court has applied to enumerated constitutional rights, this prohibition — in the place where the importance of the lawful defense of self, family, and property is most acute — would fail constitutional muster. Similarly, [bold]the requirement that any lawful firearm in the home be disassembled or bound by a trigger lock makes it impossible for citizens to use arms for the core lawful purpose of self-defense[/bold]and is hence unconstitutional.
