I went to pets mart today for dog food and this kitten in the adoption center saw me and was meowing and pawing for me to come over and I literally FaceTime'd the waifu that we were the proud owners of a new doggo disguised as a widdle kitten

Then she reminded me that rascal may eat her or at least very well could so :rip: my hopes and dreams

My neighbours basement is flooding and their sump pump is consequently flooding our yards. They appear to be gone for the long weekend and I can hear the water at the source running but there isn't a valve I can turn off. I tried calling the non emergency phone line but they told me they can't have officers break in to verify that there is a catastrophic leakage on the property and I don't have their phone number and none of their neighbours are home

What do I do

Theres gotta be a mains shut off at the street, otherwise you'd never be able to hook the house to the mains in the first place without shutting down an entire block.

In my house at least the water main with the meter is in the basement near where it comes into the house. When I go outside there isn't a pip exposed so it must be underground

I'll just let the city handle it I guess since I don't want to be charged with touching someone else's something especially if this leads to extensive property damage on my part (it probably won't unless my fence sinks 8")

Know where they work? Call and see if they can get contact info.

Failing that, use your county property tax info to find out who owns the property and you can probably find either them or a relative on Facebook. If no FB, Google up a relative with a listed house phone.
Yeah I tried, unfortunately I can't find the correct N. Singh on Facebook and the county doesn't list phone numbers next to names :/

Tomarse posted:

Can you extend the output from the sump pump so it doesn't flood the yards, and extend it to a drain or further way?
This is basically what I did.

I got ahold of the city inspectors after talking to DPW and they're going to come check it out right away. They said the sump pump should be draining into the storm drain which means this may be the backup pump

Either way hopefully there isn't too much damage

Houses here range from free to $70k in the "up and coming" neighbourhoods to $500k in the nice neighbourhoods

I got an older(1978) house in an older sub in the city with the best schools for $200k, put some work into it and now it's worth around $269k.

I don't plan on leaving any time soon since everything is in walking distance or five minutes via car

1978 is 'older' there? Jesus, a good bit of the housing stock out here was built in the 1910's.

Yeah in my part of the suburbs it is. They tore down most of the beautiful old farm houses from 1900-1940 to build big rear end houses :shrug:

My HOA has 408 homes. We have reduced the board to 3 because we can't get anyone willing to serve even after explaining that it is one meeting every other month (2 hours max) and the rest via email. We get anywhere from 0 to 10 homeowners showing up for a meeting. We hold the meetings on a Wednesday night at 7pm to make sure anyone that wants to attend has plenty of time to get there.

Because of the complete apathy of the homeowners, we can't actually change any rules in order to get rid of the rules that people commonly show up to complain about, because it takes a LOT of homeowners to change the rules (this is set by state law). We can change simple stuff like architectural guidelines, and we can tell the management company not to enforce 'rule x', but we can't actually change anything, so we spend a lot of time listening to a few old people bitch about their neighbor parking their work truck (pickup with a company logo on it) in the driveway, because it's against the rules. We can't actually change the rules to allow the 100+ 'work vehicles' that park in the community to be allowed to do so, because none of those people will show up.

We also get like 3 or 4 people who want us to enforce the no overnight parking on the street (the streets are owned by the city, so iffy on enforcing that anyway), and don't care that everyone in the community would have to pay an extra 10 bucks per month to pay for that enforcement. So if it wasn't for me and the other two guys who all hate being on the board, but do it to keep the board from becoming those guys, I'm sure my HOA would be hellish to deal with.

I spent 4+ years fighting to get the rear end in a top hat retired guys off the board, and now I'm stuck because since nobody is getting harassed by the HOA, nobody can be bothered to care enough to show up. If I left, they would have to fill the vacancy with the grouches who show up to the meeting, and the slide into terrible HOA would begin again, so I know firsthand how HOAs get like that, and it is completely the fault of the members of the HOA who can't be assed to give up an hour or two every other month to at least show up to the meetings. The grouches won't volunteer to be on the board now, because they know they would lose all the votes 3:2 (with a 5 person board), but as soon as the current board became 2, they would be jumping in to 'help' by volunteering.

I hope that I'm the first one to move out of the community so I don't have to deal with it.

my HOA owns. $25 per YEAR. pays for cutting the grass and plowing the snow in the common areas which is like two nice parks and a lake. rule enforcement is pretty lax because it's all young couples and a few old scared grouches that post in the neighbourhood app

I took a Michigan left and my car sputtered out and died, wouldn't turn over. Got it to start after about fifteen minutes of looking at everything and I smelled a lot of petrol in the exhaust as I walked around the car letting it sit running for a second

Did it somehow get flooded and it's fine or did I bend a rod and it's about to blow up? Guess I'll have to take it to the mechanic and have him tell me

I lost all power and managed to turn it into a car park so either it misfired or flooded or something glaringly simple like that but good thing my brother is going to Mexico this week for business so I can let it sit for a while

InitialDave posted:

Ok, right.

You owned a CRV worth A.

Your immediate cost to pay off all the outstanding finace on it would be B.

A is larger than B, yes? So you're not upside down on the car.

You went to a dealer to buy a new car, which would cost C.

The dealer offered you a trade-in amount for your CRV, D.

Of D, there may be two components.

D1, the amount they will pay direct to the finance company, which should equal to B.

D2, the balance of their trade-in offer, which they should pay to you.



Is the dealer saying that because D1 was actually larger than B, you should return the difference to them, rather than it being part of D2? If you do, does it get deducted from C?

Has the dealer, in total, paid out the trade-in amount D that was agreed, against the new car price of C?
ive been staring at the same two lines of code today and lemme tell u this took me way too long to parse and follow

Don't let me derail the CR-V financing train, because that seems like a pretty important topic.

But I just wanted to share my elation that I finally got my AW11 to fit in my toy hauler.


To be safe I'm screwing 2x6's to the floor of the garage area to distribute the weight over the particle board floor, and I'm shoring the ramp door in the center with a steel pipe with tape wrapped around it in several spaces supported by three jack stands.
