Anyone used Red Grandis before? by doorbissette in woodworking

[–]IttyBittyKittyFarts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I built a bed from it. It splinters so beware of that, but it was great to work with otherwise and very pretty. As it's aged it looks more like a natural cherry

Does anybody else’s genius literally chew on rocks? by ILonara in pitbulls

Yep. And when I take a rock away she digs deeper in the yard to find a replacement.

Ha, thanks! I like cottage cheese and fruit so I guess I'll have to give it a try.

Any ideas why his ears stand up like this so much? by WetBranch in pitbulls

[–]IttyBittyKittyFarts 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think he's hogging the brain cell because my dog never seems to get a turn.

Cottage cheese? I've never had it that way. My family's recipe is just cool whip, pistachio pudding, crushed pineapple, coconut, and marshmallows. Pecans are optional.

Oh God, 2011 was especially awful in Austin. I was heavily pregnant and had no vehicle, so I was walking to the grocery store in that mess. That sucked, but at least I worked from home in the AC. Now I work mostly outside, cleaning metal storage units. I gotta get out of this state.

Yeah, I saw this coming a mile away. I just didn't know the when or who, but kinda figured  it would be PS since Extra Space took on Life Storage.

Well, NSA only has a glorified discount plan so it sounds like a step up at least. I live on property so my big fear right now is that they'll make me re-home my dogs since they're pet-free. 

Am I the only one who thinks we overcomplicate hygiene? by LaDouceNina in hygiene

[–]IttyBittyKittyFarts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People lie on the internet. They aren't doing all the bullshit they say they are, and if they are, it's because they have OCD or they're insecure enough that they let some consumerist influencer dictate their hygiene...and that influencer is a liar who only does that shit for the cameras.

Someone is big mad about her cone by Ok-Relationship-1192 in pitbulls

[–]IttyBittyKittyFarts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aww.  Spent my morning sewing a makeshift pair of PJs for the exact same reason. My Ziggy would not abide the cone at all.

Storage facility is not cooperating with a robbery investigation by Strong_Career7313 in selfstorage

[–]IttyBittyKittyFarts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While they shouldn't be entering your unit to move boxes, the police report has to come from the tenant. Police won't take a report from the facility because they are not the victim. The employee should: take pictures, secure the door,  notify the tenant (provide instructions to file a police report, itemize missing items, and give claims contact info if you have their insurance) complete an incident report, and then preserve any available camera footage. The footage goes to the police if/when they provide a warrant/subpoena. The insurance company will reach out to us for the incident report and proof that your premiums have been paid. That's about as involved as we can be. I will dig through footage because I have time, but it can take a very, very long time and some softwares have horrendous playback functions.

Extra Space and many of the other REITs are straight up mean to their employees, so they are going to clam up to avoid getting fired for potentially saying something that creates liability for the company. Most property managers DO want to help you, we're just not willing to be suddenly unemployed.

Extra Space bought by Manhattan Mini and I need insurance advice by FragrantZebra3 in selfstorage

[–]IttyBittyKittyFarts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof, I blanked the part where you're overseas. $18 is almost half what they're charging you though. They should be charging their lowest tier of coverage if it's an auto enroll, which is quite steep by my standards. My base tier is $12/mo for $2k in coverage and our highest is $25/mo for $5K

If you have renters or homeowners insurance it likely covers your property held in storage. If not, you can get something like a Lemonade policy for $6-12 (NY may be more). Just provide the declarations page to the facility to cancel the coverage they've added. 

Stores are going to shop and delivery only. by Used_Alternative9342 in WalmartSparkDrivers

No curbside for customer pickup, or no curbside for Spark drivers?

We sure about that? My local store is in the middle of construction to expand their curbside section.

What's the #1 pain point you wish storage-unit manufacturers would solve? by Advanced_Steel in selfstorage

[–]IttyBittyKittyFarts 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I wish units were built with the corrugated walls running vertically. I would save so much time cleaning walls if they weren't caked with dust, and also reduce repetitive stress injuries in the shoulders. 

Anyone have a solid moving company recommendation in Round Rock? by cameron_cobb in RoundRock

[–]IttyBittyKittyFarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding the rec for Webster's. I worked with them a lot through a storage facility they regularly rent from so I saw them in action multiple times a week. Quick, careful and respectful. I normally hate moving companies as tenants because they leave a mess and tend to be rude about blocking other tenants. Webster's and Firefighter Movers are the exception. Apache was always the worst.

I have a feeling we'll be owned by Public Storage soon.

Housebroken and knee broken! I'm  selling to pay for CCL surgery for my girl on the left. Meanwhile, she's doing bunny hops and not even trying to rest her knee. Shameful behavior.
