My house isn't 100 years old but I've had zero flooding issues in 7 years. My house was built in the 50s. My neighbor flooded multiple times until he put in a french drain. It does get quite humid in the spring though, but the dehumidifier handles that.

It shut down very suddenly one day and the rumor was it failed health inspections that badly. I don't know how true that was, but precisely zero people would've been surprised had that been the case.

My wife's employer is comparably sized and we got her W2s online 2 weeks ago and in the mail over a week ago. UPMC's W2 is the only tax document I've ever experienced that took longer than 1/31. That's why I asked as this is very out of the ordinary.

I'm shocked UPMC would do the bare minimum. Shocked I say.

If the slot's dry, you're doing something wrong.

It's bizarre and I don't know how those plots are divided in a way that people aren't violating zoning laws or property lines.

I was expecting like 10 houses on it. Nope, there are 50ish all cramped together. This drone shot is a good view of it all.

Reply to PSA: Gillece will outright lie to you and sabotage your HVAC system if you call them for a service check so you'll buy a new one from them. by [deleted]
Here's the reality: most large home service companies, ie electricians, plumbers, renovators, etc. are going to be significantly more expensive and lower quality work than your small business types. You're paying for convenience. If you're a homeowner, it's a really good idea to be proactive and find the good, local businesses for these things.
I needed an electrician recently and thankfully my neighbor just had some work done by a guy who lives down the street from us. If I didn't have him, I would've been stuck calling a big company and paying out the ass. Instead a local guy charged me $195 for an hour of work and some parts. Previously, I had to use a bigger company who charged me $400 for similar work in 2019.
Ask around for a local HVAC person to come give your systems a tune up. Find excuses to get a plumber or local electrician into your house. Then when something is wrong, you're a repeat customer for someone you found is trustworthy.
