Tiny Timbs posted:I dunno if it's a trend or not but the vets near me charge $1200 to neuter a pet and you can no longer swing by an ASPCA or some other org during a drive to get it done for a few bucks. We drive 2 hours to a rural vet so we only have to pay $200. Yup guy at work got quoted $900 for his. I told him that was ridiculous and he eventually found a place that would do it for $60

I’d at least talk to them  They probably don’t even realize it’s an issue and maybe possibly could change the way they do things if they had any idea it was causing problems.

Hadlock posted:"Hi my 3 year old thinks you drying your combat boots in the dryer for 8 hours every night six inches away from their head through the cheapest drywall legal by building code is a monster coming to eat them. I have a budget of $1200 to buy you a new dryer so my kid doesn't grow up with PTSD about laundry, can we make a deal?" is not totally unreasonable It might not even take that. They could be reasonable and just change when they do laundry but we may never know...

redreader posted:Thanks! Related question. They quoted me 1.3k for this. Could they knock later and say 'well it turned out to be $3k worth of work, here's the bill for $3k'? Absolutely. Did you sign a quote though? If it’s all verbal well…

redreader posted:it was quoted and accepted through text message, which is sort of in writing. Well that’s something at least. They could probably do that but if you told them to pound sand they’d have to take you to small claims court which could be a toss up depending on if they are actually able to show that yeah it was 2x the work ect ect. I wouldn’t worry about it tbh it will probably be fine.

H110Hawk posted:You can probably get a new gas water heater r&r'd tomorrow morning for $1000 out the door. Any idiot can do it. That $1800 pre-rebate price is just the water heater. They're wildly expensive. And then when they break in 10 years, they're still that expensive. Yeah from my research into it pretty much all of this.

Sublimer posted:One bathtub faucet hot water is barely a trickle. Cold water pressure is fine. Both the hot and cold water pressure work fine on all other faucets in the house. Any idea what could cause this? It hasn’t been cold enough for any frozen pipes. Build up in the hot water pipe? Is it two knobs or one?

raggedphoto posted:Cool, thanks MarcusSA and sirotan I will add ethernet to the project. Any odd spots in the house you'd recommend installing ports beyond the obvious server closet and what not? Living room obviously but you might want to consider a drop near the backyard so you can increase your outside coverage. Especially if you plan on adding wireless cameras in the future. It’s actually been really nice having strong coverage outside the house for me at least.

Two other solutions. Just rent your neighbors toilet. This is a bit more expensive but I watched The Martian the other day and NASA has these toilets where when you poo poo it seals them into little bags. The bags get dumped in to a bin that you can just dispose of on trash day.

GlyphGryph posted:All I really want is to be able to keep the well going so I have running water, although keeping the control system for the heat online would be a nice bonus. A portable generator would be preferable too, I guess, since I could use it for other things. I don't know what I need to actually make that happen, though - I guess that probably depends on how everything is hooked up? Yeah and you’ll probably need an electrician to wire the generator hookup for you too since the well is probably directly wired in. If the well is off on its own it wouldn’t be too bad.

unknown posted:Careful - you might have access rights, but those can disappear when the account holder does (ie: dies). Banks are overly cautious (ie: go into lockdown mode) when someone dies to stop a relative from draining the accounts before the court approved executor has taken over. Honestly I didn’t look into it but he claimed he did and it wouldn’t be a problem but I can see what you are saying. I think he also added me to the accounts as well but who knows because his financial stuff is a drat mess that only he understands. It’s just he and I thought so that might make things easier to some extent?
