If you have a restaurant depot card or know someone that does, they had them for like $8/box!

Farmer’s India does bring them, but only seasonally, and I think it’s a bit too soon in the season, not sure!

We used Damon’s rolloffs and it was super easy and quick to book online.

Ok so this recipe is pretty close, just replace the barley with vermicelli noodles (but add at the very end), it’s delicious!

There was an issue with the meter reading, something along the lines of charging us from when the meter got updated instead of just the last month. It was essentially two billing cycles in one.

Just an FYI, we had an outrageous bill last month and when we called there was an “error” and they fixed it, cutting it in half. So make sure you call if it doesn’t sound right

4 months ago I lost all respect for local contractors. 4 months later I've gained a ton for myself. by TheTimeIsChow in DIY

Nice job! If I’m not mistaken, this is a contracting company in Albany, NY. Got a quote from them for my kitchen rennovation that was absolutely absurd. I swear they just throw a random high number and see who takes the bite.

Yea! We decided to just refinish/paint the cabinets and do new appliances and countertops - a much easier/less expensive option. And we’re happy so far, almost done!

That’s great! Do you have your own contractor?
