Moving from Albany to Schenectady County. Is the pistol amendment process different?

For those of you who live in Schenectady County- what is the pistol amendment process like? I looked at the county clerk website and I know you fill out the bill of sale form. Does it still need to go to a judge or does the clerks office sign off and give you your purchase coupon?

Has anyone transferred their permit from Albany County? How smoothly did that go?

Unifi Protect EA 7.1.55. Reolink Cams not sending ONVIF events to Protect.

Hi there -

Wondering if anyone has their reolink cams working with the newly added support for ONVIF motion events turned on.

I have looked everywhere to see if maybe I am missing a setting, but so far nothing...

Would love to get motion events in the timeline with the continuous recording.

Does this two-level deck look safe? Noticed some board separation after winter/power washing

Looking for some opinions before I decide whether to call in a deck contractor/structural engineer.

This is a two-level deck attached to the back of the house. The upper deck sits over the lower patio/deck area. After winter, I was power washing and noticed some separation/gapping in boards on the lower level. I’m not sure if this is normal seasonal movement, composite/decking expansion/contraction, or a sign of something more concerning.

A few things I’m wondering about:

  • Does anything in the framing, joists, beams, posts, or bracing look obviously unsafe from these photos?
  • The upper deck is used for a patio table/chairs and normal seating. Should I avoid using it until it’s inspected?
  • If I call someone, should I be looking for a deck contractor, home inspector, or structural engineer?

I know nobody can certify safety from pictures alone, but I’d appreciate any red flags you notice and what you’d do next. Thanks.

Feedback on 22kW Generac whole-house generator quote. Fair turnkey price?

Looking for feedback on a whole-house generator quote in upstate NY.

We were quoted $12,414.52 for a 22kW Generac 7325 on natural gas with a whole-house service-rated transfer switch.

House/load details:

  • About 1,804 sq ft
  • Natural gas
  • 2.5-ton A/C
  • Gas furnace
  • Electric range/oven
  • Two refrigerators
  • Microwave
  • Grinder pump
  • Two garage door openers

The quote appears to include:

  • 22kW Generac generator
  • Whole-house/service-rated transfer switch
  • Electrical hookup
  • Gas hookup to existing natural gas system
  • Leak testing
  • 3" Gen-Pad concrete generator base
  • Battery
  • Cold weather kit
  • Permit and inspections
  • First break-in service
  • 10-year warranty promo
  • First year Mobile Link monitoring
  • Surge protector

Possible extra:

  • Utility may require a gas meter upgrade, quoted as $347 directly from the utility.

The sizing report shows an NEC required load of about 18.06kW and required BTU load of 311,000.

Questions:

  1. Does $12.4k sound fair for a turnkey 22kW Generac install with this scope?
  2. Anything I should confirm with the installer before signing?
  3. Any red flags with the sizing, gas load, or included items?

Appreciate any feedback from people who have installed similar setups.

Can you co-own handguns in Albany county? One gun, two permits.

I have family in rensselaer county who co-own handguns and the same gun is on both of their permits.

My grandfather is getting up there so I was thinking of adding his guns to my permit to make things easier later on.

He’s in Rensselaer county and I’m in Albany county. I called the county clerks office but they were less than helpful and told me to call back when someone more knowledgeable is working.

Anyone have any insight on this?
