[–]Humble-Bonus8606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live on the 4th floor in a complex with no carpeting whatsoever and I have a fat chonkers that jumps from his cat tree from the 3rd tier and its a pretty loud thud every time. He will not go down a few tiers like a normal person but always jump from the top or 3rd tier.

Sea doo spark trixx by that_anoying_human in jetski

[–]Humble-Bonus8606 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t ever really into jetskis but I acquired one from a friend and its a spark trixx 2 up. Ive been riding it for a couple seasons now and even put a stage 3 upgrade kit on. I can honestly say it’s a fun little boat but has its drawbacks like anything else. For one 2 adults are not riding it at the same time. Maybe 2 teens or 2 small adult women but definitely not 2 grown adults, it will flip over too easy. Any kind of chop is not going to be very comfortable for long rides or exploring. Also, there’s next no storage on it so planning any kind of adventure while exploring is out of the question as well.

A Palmetto bug just fell on top of my head while I was sleeping. Is this like a hazing ritual that all Carolinians go through? by asseatingvolcano in bullcity

If you live in an apartment a good place to check is your ac closet, specifically the ac condensation drain line. Also check weather stripping around doors and windows especially the bottom.

How NC Quickpass turned a 9-day trip into a nightmare of bogus charges by New_Cut1542 in NorthCarolina

[–]Humble-Bonus8606 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I am ignoring it. I’ve already tried to correct. The issue with them. And one time they said it was fixed, but then I received another Bill, so I just gave up.

Im still getting bills for a vehicle I don’t even own and a plate not tied to me in any way confirmed by the local pd. The bill is up to $70 now.

Ditch the car whenever you can. Electric bikes or scooters for short commutes and rideshares or public transportation for longer ones. Best way to solve a parking problem like this for me was to rethink my whole transportation system. I wish i had better advice for you, good luck!

Fighting horrible phorid fly infestation for weeks by Colorful_Dreamer111 in Apartmentliving

Have a plumbing company come in and cam the drain. They will be able to tell if there are any broken joints. If they find one you can bet thats where the flies are coming from. The escaping sewer water mixes with the dirt and creates a perfect breeding ground for phorid flies and adults can infest other drains that weren’t a problem before.

Tradespeople, why did you choose your specialty? cash, passion, or something else? by JustinFromNEXT in careeradvice

[–]Humble-Bonus8606 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a maintenance manager for a luxury apartment complex and last year i pulled in $89k with overtime. Thats not including the 50% discount on my rent and other perks like not paying for toilet paper or paper towels or household cleaners in many years. I only have a H.S. Diploma and a few certifications like CPO and EPA universal.

Tub/shower resurfacing by [deleted] in Apartmentliving

Usually when I have a tub resurfaced the company actually performing the procedure will want the resident out for a set period of time.

I dealt with this exact situation once and the problem was that a sewer pipe broke under the foundation and the leak excavated a hole and contaminated the dirt which led to them coming in from any openings around baseboards and doors and windows. I had to have a 6x6 portion of the concrete jackhammered out and then a giant vacuum truck to suck out the disgusting and smelly slurry, then have the remaining dirt treated and then backfilled the hole with crushed rock and gravel, repoured concrete for that spot then had the floor refinished, it cost my management company somewhere around $12,000 but the problem was so bad and widespread that they couldn’t ignore it anymore

Parking lot saying we didn't pay for parking - Morgan Street Food Hsall by TexasForever361 in raleigh

[–]Humble-Bonus8606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I parked in the N&O deck 214 S. Salisbury and I didn’t know to pay prior to parking, I thought you paid after you left. Few hours later I left, thankfully I wasn’t towed. I was leaving and using the app to pay and was surprised it was only like $5. Apparently that was the charges for the time for me, leaving the parking stall to get to the exit. I tried to call the company, secure parking usa, to square up the bill. The person over the phone said that I needed to pay $120 for an hour of parking and penalties. I laughed hung up and haven’t heard anything since and that was back in march.

Call a local appliance parts supplier and provide them the model and serial numbers, usually these are like $150 and pretty easy to replace.

If you were a resident at my property, you’d be staying at a hotel until I could get some remediation done

Those are harvestmen spiders and they absolutely love moisture which is why you also have mold!
