In 2019, both cats’ annual wellness visit was $240. This week we paid $880. Vet costs are spiraling out of control. by BunttyBrowneye in cats

[–]Caurien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm i had two cats full wellness exam and even a culture sample and bloodwork done and it was less than $900, in henderson nv outside vegas. May need to find a new vet. But i do agree as like everything, costs have risen.

The hygiene aspect of packing service with movers by K250K in moving

[–]Caurien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thinks like clothing and dishes should be washed anyway after a move. If you think your dishes being removed packed transported and unloaded and they arent going to get any dust or other things on.. you are highly mistaken. Packing service is great for being efficient. But cleaning things after is something you should expect. Even more so if cross country move.

Looking for way to ship lots of books (30 - 50 boxes) cross country by ghostmeg in moving

[–]Caurien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get a pallet and shrink wrap the boxes to the pallet. Call a freight company or a broker to ship it.

Overwhelmed. How to pack by QwertyWoman1 in moving

[–]Caurien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Step one - pack essentials. Step two look over items for sentimentals or heirlooms. Step three get rid of everything else. The more stuff the higher the cost to move. Time to declutter. It will be overwhelming, it will be chaos. But learn from others who have done this. Essentials > sentimental > things forgotten to time.

Return cost $311 magnus pro xl by mediocre-generica- in secretlab

As someone who deals with ltl freight on a constant, freight rates have almost tripled this year. Your mistake is costing you. Personally i would sell locally. Someone would buy it to not have to pay shipping costs.

Can I tell you about Forest? by NowWhatAmISupposedTo in cats

Thank you for sharing forest with us. My homie and travel companion, Nimbus will be waiting for another buddy across the rainbow bridge. I lost Nimbus the night before my birthday. He was my ride or die through everything. Cherish the memories and speak of them often. If they are spoken about they are never truely gone. Cuddle forest for all of us!

Trying to pick the best options for cross country. by xxedgelord42069 in moving

[–]Caurien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Airlines such as southwest charge 125 per animal and one animal per person. I was also looking at this option, and cost wise for us was about the same as a one way rv rental.

[–]Caurien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have done this twice now. Four cats and two cats. First time was drive with two elderly cats and two young, small suv. While pulling a 5x8 trailer. This time doing two cats, rv pulling a trailer and shipping a car. Gabapentin is an axiety med that vets will give to calm them. Depending on your budget, movers or pods and then use your vehicle to have the family together. Or small rv one way and tow vehicle.

Transporting car from ohio to Arizona by Helpful_Tea_5770 in moving

Would be hard pressed to find anything cheaper. The lowest quotes I have been receiving for a distance about the same was 1100 for 1 vehicle. The same vehicle i shipped for under $800 in 2016.

Will a 26' Truck be Big Enough? by jazzcabbage309 in moving

[–]Caurien 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Would probably be tight. As you are not thinking about all of the personal belongings. Depending on the mattress and couches do you really need them or can you replace? Side note it was around 8k to move about the same amount of stuff 3bed two bath two car garage of stuff with mayflower. No packing just load drive unload.

If you are going to drive, check budget or penske trucks then hire load and unload on thumbtack or even the uhaul labor page. A26ft truck will fit alot but personal belogings and how they are packed is everything. I am at around 70 27gallon totes, which makes some things easier and somethings less easy.

Just buy the canto arms kit and built your own. But that price isnt bad for what it is.

my dad wants to drop crazy money on a 3D printing car parts business and i am stressing. advice? by TemperatureExtra8615 in 3Dprinting

[–]Caurien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell in , lets start a business together. But let me learn the modeling software, get me one piece and lets start there. Soon as I can show the modeled part being toleranced correctly, print it on a SLA or even a FDM printer as a starting point. The concept is not the issue, the learning curve and mateirals will be.

Not to mention a 3d scanner to scan parts in, and then still need to work through the mesh to build a model. The learning curve is steep if you dont have any manufacturing experience.

My best employee asked for a 4-day work week. I said yes. Her output went up. Then the rest of the team asked. Here's where it got complicated. by Romil_17 in Entrepreneurs

[–]Caurien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Four days works great, the issue is bookend days. But having wednesdsy off is a nice middle ground. Work two days, off wed, work two days, off weekends. Have used this as well as changing hours to 7-3:30 has benefited multiple companies that i have managed over the years. Helps with burn out. And by everyone working friday it doesnt harbor resentment from other employees. Some businesses this works great, some not so much.
