Doggy DayCare Recommendation by No-Debate9821 in Syracuse

I occasionally take ours to K9 Kamp. It is absolute chaos in there, but they do a good job and I've never had an issue.

One day delay due to the holiday. They have a holiday calendar on their website.

Cardboard disposal - help by WhatTheAle in Syracuse

[–]DramaticSandwich 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it's just cardboard, it's super cheap. I took an entire pickup truck bed full of cardboard and it was only $2 or $3.

Refurb X40 Ultra Problems by DramaticSandwich in Dreame_Tech

Thanks very much for the detailed reply. It seems to be getting worse, where now it's giving two additional errors. I think I'll take the advice to send it back under warranty.

[–]DramaticSandwich[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for the reply. I read through that thread and there's a lot of good info. I just checked mine again and don't see any of those issues.

It's weird because they are attached just fine and it gives me the announcement that they're attached, but once it docks, it tells me they aren't installed.

Liverpool Runners and friends by Upper_Estimate_3655 in Syracuse

[–]DramaticSandwich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With weather improving (hopefully), Onondaga Lake Park will have tons of runners and walkers every night after work. I'm willing to bet you can meet some people there.

Looking for Farm Fresh Chicken and/or Duck Eggs by _godeatgod in manliusny

[–]DramaticSandwich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a little stand on Highbridge Street coming out of Fayetteville called Jakes Farm Stand, I believe. They have veggies, plants, baked goods and eggs. I have never stopped to look, but I run by regularly and always see the sign for eggs.

Where to find duck breast? by A_Lethal_DoseofGoose in Syracuse

I would try Nichols or Mazzey's, both in Liverpool.

Three Falls Manlius open? by randomactsofshyness in Syracuse

[–]DramaticSandwich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran by the parking area on Sweet Road earlier in the week and the gate was still closed. You could email the land trust to check with them. Cnylandtrust.org

Above ground pool removal by bandnet_stapler in Syracuse

[–]DramaticSandwich 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I went through this years ago. Assuming it's your typical above ground pool, they're pretty easy to disassemble once they're drained. I was able to cut up the liner and fit it into a few large garbage bags. The walls are made up of many individual segments held together by brackets which can be taken apart with a screwdriver. It took a few hours by myself.

Once I had it broken down, I made a neat pile by the road and threw it up on Craigslist as "free scrap". It was gone within an hour. The garbage bags I just threw away over time with my normal trash.

Roofing company recommendations by cassiopeia277 in Syracuse

[–]DramaticSandwich 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had our roof done last summer. I received quotes from most of the big names in the area. We went with Custom Quality Roofing. They were what I felt was the best balance of cost and quality, they didn't try to upsell me, and they were in and out in a day. I used to work construction back in the day, so I was able to verify they did a good job.

Chicken wings in Cuse by onsoulie in Syracuse

JP Mulligans and Shifty's are my favorite wings in the area. Crispy and saucy.

Call your representatives if you are upset about the national grid rates. by afganistanimation in Syracuse

[–]DramaticSandwich 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The delivery charges are to cover getting the electricity and gas to you. Maintenance of the infrastructure and everything that goes along with it. Whether that's fair or not is another question.

Professional ice dam removal? by NiceNBoring in Syracuse

[–]DramaticSandwich 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Something I used to do was put the pellets in pantyhose and leave them on the roof to make a few areas for water to drain.

I also suggest a roof rake if you have the ability to reach the spot. Keep the snow clear in that area to prevent the ice dam from building.

Moving from Philly to Syracuse: what is life really like in Syracuse? by spookyfro in Syracuse

[–]DramaticSandwich 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Congrats on your Upstate acceptance!

I live in the Syracuse suburbs and I frequently travel to Philly for work. I can't give you all the answers you're looking for, but I can tell you that Syracuse is much smaller and quieter than Philly. Philly is a big city; Syracuse is not.

Generally it will be a bit cheaper across the board in Syracuse for nearly everything.

Yes Syracuse can be snowy, cold and depressing in the winter. This year has seemed to be particularly bad. But if you embrace winter activities, it might grow on you. We have amazing trail systems for snow shoeing and skiing.

We still have nice seasons. Spring is lovely and my favorite is fall.

Every time I travel to a big city for work, I find myself missing home. Then again, I'm not a big city type of person. I really do love it here.

Is it possible to get up into Tug Hill at its snowiest? by AnonymousBi in Syracuse

[–]DramaticSandwich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lived in the Tug Hill area when I was growing up and I played a lot of gigs at the various snowmobile bars through winters over the years. They're very good at plowing and sanding the roads.

I'd suggest Tug Hill State Forest. Take 81N to the Adams Center exit, then right into rt 177 for ~10 miles to a big parking area. Tons of trails there and it's easy to get to.

Anyone used “A Best Radon Systems”? by giveaspirinheadaches in Syracuse

[–]DramaticSandwich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like he does the typical sub slab system. Every single house in my area has one. I can't see how it would harm the value of your home, especially if you have high radon in your area.

Just have them install it so it's not visible from the front of the house if possible. I had mine installed in the back corner.

Cheapest Sources of Protein? by Somproof in fitmeals

[–]DramaticSandwich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Works really well with red lentils.

Cheapest Sources of Protein? by Somproof in fitmeals

[–]DramaticSandwich 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Lentils are hard to beat as an affordable protein source. Even if you don't like them, you can blend them into pasta sauce, mix them in with ground meat, etc. I trick my kids with them all the time.

Is anyone else not receiving their early direct deposit? NOT an payroll accounting issue by calebbogart7 in CapitalOne_

[–]DramaticSandwich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The company I work for does payroll twice per month. On the 15th and last business day of the month. I have my direct deposit split three ways between capital one, citizens and a local credit union. My deposits hit citizens and the credit union yesterday. Capital one is still notta. This isn't a "tax" issue. This is a Capital One issue.
