Yeah looks like Mica and sandstone. Unfortunately landscapers/contractors love to just cover things up with top soil and run away.

The rocks could be tightly packed silt, loose sandstone, or maybe mica from excavation. Pictures would help.
Considering how problematic water heaters can be, I'd refuse shipment on that. Especially with the glass lining. It looks like someone hit it with a forklift or something.
Actually just had a short conversation with @ruud@lemmy.world about the latency. We're going to try and address that for those of us outside of Europe.
Fuck no!
Thank you!
Hah, did the same. I removed all of the old insulation too, which was worse! Sealed cracks and holes, then blew in new loose fiberglass up to R-60.
The key with windows is reducing your cost. I too received a quote for $30-40k back in the day... so I did it myself with vinyl replacements (double pane, argon, etc). Ended up spending only a few thousand total for the whole house, I know I did a better job than the local contractor because I spent my time and did it right.
We had a massive comfort difference due to the old windows being extremely drafty (1960's original wood single-pane). In my opinion that's the biggest benefit. We also were able to remove our storm windows, so improved exterior visibility, reduced cleaning, and improved curb appeal in my opinion.
Energy-savings, yeah not so much unless you DIY like I did to keep the cost down.
You know, I searched before creating. Lol. Thanks! I'll axe the duplicate.
Looking good, you love to see it!
Yes, 100% this. Debian stable, no GUI for servers. Never have a problem.
