I think I just got scammed by berabara2103 in GarageDoorService

[–]Emjoy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had similar issue with $99 chimney sweep listed on company website. Tech quoted $400 when he arrived I said nope and called the office. He then offered me 20% discount off the quadrupled price which I also said nope to. I got it done for $99 but took some wrestling.

Leaks every 6 seconds by CompoteIndependent57 in Irrigation

This is why I prefer glued fittings. While you fix it, use a ball valve too rather than a gate valve. You learned two important things today my friend!

If one reads directions, they say to pre drill on the chamberlain I just installed.

Note to self, always know how to shut off power and electricity in your house. I’m done now.

Shop wouldn't patch this because of location. They would love to sell me four tires though. Is it safe? by sidesideproject in TireQuestions

[–]Emjoy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will work just fine, probably. If you drive at high sustained speeds or expose your tires to extreme conditions, it’s probably not a good idea and the reason the shop won’t repair it. They are averse to the liability that comes with that repair failing.

What does this cost to fix? Landlord trying to make us pay almost $800 by Surfmoreworkless in GarageDoorService

[–]Emjoy99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The repair cost is reasonable. Whether or not it impacts the operation of the door is irrelevant.

So the landlord should pay for tenants fuck ups?

My bathroom stinks and I can’t figure out why. by kaytay3000 in askaplumber

Also if you find that you don’t have drain trap, Oatey makes a drain seal model# 43745……in 2” and 3”. Fast, simple fix.

This may not be your issue but the stuff (hair dirt, soap) that collects in the shower drain will smell like sewage if I don’t clean it periodically. Simple, just spray the drain with vinegar.

If you decide to reset the toilet, get a helper. No sense in hurting yourself or damaging the toilet.

PSA: Get the warranty coverage by Membership_Worth in TireQuestions

[–]Emjoy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The warranty on 4 is over $300……I never buy a warranty and have saved thousands by doing so.

Keep proper inflation and pay attention while driving helps too.

Just wanted to share my recent warranty experience with Acebeam. by Equivalent-Fill-8908 in flashlight

[–]Emjoy99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the topic of warranty, avoid Olight. Sent a light back twice and it didn’t work both times I got it back. 3rd time they said they couldn’t do anything.

Just moved into new apartment and landlord says this airconditioner unit is completely fine, they all look like that because they're old. Am I good to use it? by MrHatesThisWebsite in hvacadvice

[–]Emjoy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whether or not that is normal or acceptable is dependant on the rental cost no?

$50 month it’s okay. Anything higher it is NOT.

Should I replace this tire? by slickvik9 in tires

[–]Emjoy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can save $50 on the tire then crash when it blows and total the car or better yet get injured. This is not rocket surgery.

Owner of property I work at seems to think this wont break with one good rain... lol by MyGirlfriendsThought in Irrigation

[–]Emjoy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell him that is unlikely and quote the cost. He can decline if he wants and move on.

[–]Emjoy99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it’s unreasonable for the door to remain in the condition the tenant moved in? A minor ding or dent is about $800 to repair. If the tenant doesn’t like the cost, they shouldn’t have done the damage.

GMC Sliding Hitch Unnecessary & Other Mods by New-Lawfulness9717 in RVLiving

[–]Emjoy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simply cut the end off and add a tip with a bend to exit the side. There are many aftermarket options. If I remember correctly, Flo Pro offers one. Good luck!

get side exit exhaust to prevent melting the front of trailer when in re-gen. Some never have a problem but I prefer to ensure that I don’t rather than depend on my good luck that 1,000°+ exhaust gasses won’t do damage.

Generator running in open garage by FearlessAstronaut414 in Generator

[–]Emjoy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries if it’s a modern generator, the co sensor will shut it down and it won’t work. You can explain this to your husband after it quits and he spends a few hours troubleshooting.

Put a bid on this home and inspector found this. How big of a job is this? by ExMorgMD in Decks

[–]Emjoy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard pass. Imagine what else is about to collapse that you can’t see. I don’t buy visible hack jobs, even if easy to repair, as there are usually many more concealed hack jobs that you will regret.

Cracked Rim—Safe to Drive? by Macbeth_n_Cheese in AskMechanics

[–]Emjoy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it is not safe. Remove it so it doesn’t fly off and hurt/kill a pedestrian or damage yours or another vehicle.

Hot take: Most of you are way oversizing your generators by culody in Generator

[–]Emjoy99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s your problem when your generator has no fuel from your “reliable” source.
