	Posted by: @rewired I've never been able to figure out why stores on islands without natural gas are allowed to sell gas appliances that aren't configured for the only the available fuel. I can answ...
	RE: Mountainbiking By Ed, 3 days ago	General/Relocating
	@fandk thanks for the detailed response. I cycled competitively in my late 10s, early 20s in Europe where I grew up. Mountainbiking/cyclo cross was mostly winter training, but you'd get a lot better w...

	@epo_Make sure if you plan on building a garage / apt first, that you check the covenants and restrictions for the lot you're interested in first. Most waterfront communities will have covenants and ...
	Where to buy SUP, Kayak, etc on STT? By fandk, 3 days ago	General/Relocating
	Hi All, I know there are a ton of places that rent/tour SUPs and kayaks on STT, but where do you buy them on the island? I could not find, so I bought an inflatable SUP on Amazon. I'd rather buy local...

	Hi Ed. We moved to STT 2 months ago. I'm a life-long MTBer (well, started on BMX... I'm 58 years old) From all the research I've done before and after the move, I found... Are there good trails? From ...

	RE: Buying vs Building By Ed, 3 days ago	General/Relocating
	@rewired / @stjohnjulie is it not possible (at all) to get/run an electrical dryer on the island with the outage and the power consumption or can you do it provided you have enough (solar) capacity? H...
	RE: Buying vs Building By jaldeborgh, 3 days ago	General/Relocating
	Posted by: @epo_ Maybe as an add-on, who has solar panels installed? Heard it's almost a must have as utilities are fairly expensive compared to the mainland and service can be somewhat spotty. Shoul...

	RE: Where to park vehicle when off Island. By daveb722, 3 days ago	General/Relocating
	@vicanuck I've had those pesky chipmunks back in NY eat my harness on my brand new Subaru, 1200 bucks, but at least my homeowners covered 700 of it.
	RE: Realtor recommendations? By vicanuck, 3 days ago	General/Relocating
	I'm honestly surprised how many realtors are on STX, based on the number of homes for sale, it really can't be that lucrative. I think there's about 250 homes for sale right now, maybe less, so maybe...

	RE: Buying vs Building By daveb722, 4 days ago	General/Relocating
	@epo_ I have Solar and added to my system this year. For me it's a no brainer. I have 28 panels, Lithium Batteries, with a sol-ark inverter. It's a little overkill right now, but i'm adding some ad...
