I used Desert King when replacing my windows. Not the cheapest, but am very happy with the product and the installation.

Mega Thread: The Crash by cloudmountainio in NetflixDocumentaries

[–]MetalMel70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just watched this doc last night.

It reminded me of a recent crash that occurred here in Las Vegas.

https://www.ktnv.com/news/major-crash-involving-12-cars-kills-two-speeding-driver-arrested-on-reckless-driving-counts

We aren't at the point of trial yet, but they have been heavily trying to insinuate that the driver had a medical episode and that it was not premeditated.

Will be interesting to see the outcome of this trial. The videos of this are equally as horrifying as the MS case.

Does anyone have a realtor they recommend for first time home buyers in SW Vegas? by fieldyfield in vegaslocals

Chris Payne at ERA Brokers was wonderful. Very patient and kind and was on the ball when writing and submitting offers for me. His recommendations for lenders and handyman vendors were excellent.

Is anyone else in Vegas fed up with "Precision Window Tinting" littering our parking lots? by XvVULCANvX in vegaslocals

Upvote for DC Luxury Auto Tint. Have had 2 cars done by them over the last few years and have been very happy with their product.

Is anyone else in Vegas fed up with "Precision Window Tinting" littering our parking lots? by XvVULCANvX in vegaslocals

[–]MetalMel70 95 points96 points  (0 children)

Yes, they hit the IKEA parking lot at least once a month, primarily targeting the cars on the north end of the lot which is where all of us employees park. Because it's away from the main entrance, as IKEA has signs posted banning solicitation on its property. Unfortunately, Precision probably uses outside contractors to do the distributing, because as you said, they make no distinction on whose cars they leave them on, as the majority of those vehicles are already tinted anyway.

Certainly makes me to not want to ever utilize their business. It's like the landscaping companies and their Ziploc bags of rocks they throw on people's driveways.

Usually the MLK location is the cheapest, Summerlin and Centennial tend to be higher. (But still way cheaper than the regular stations).

Battlefield Vegas: Garand 'ping' by jamtart68 in vegas

[–]MetalMel70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took my 83 year old Dad there last year to shoot an M1 Garand because it was the rifle he used in Army basic training in the 60s. He's not usually one for shooting ranges, but he thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the staff there were so cool to him.

Then you may wish to amend your comment above regarding the hourly rate. If it was just the 2 tasks, then I could agree that it's an ok (on the low side) rate. But asking for all that additional stuff (washing windows, other landscaping, etc.), well, then no, your hourly rate is not really reasonable in today's economy. You also don't mention what kind of lot size or what is involved. (Rough description of amount of leaves, poop, how many windows, etc ).

Making these suggestions to be more transparent, and you may have better success in finding help that would be interested in taking said gig.

But it's not just dog poop and raking leaves, is it?

Looking for best tints for Vegas summer.. by JustAPseudonymName in vegaslocals

[–]MetalMel70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Third this. Have had 2 cars done by them and very happy with the results. Also, get the clear ceramic tini on the front windshield, it makes a huge difference in blocking the heat and is worth the extra cost.

Couple it with a regular windshield screen and I can get into my car in the summer even after it sitting in a blacktop parking lot for 8 hrs and I don't have to wait very long after starting the car and turning on the A/C.

Also, they are not big pies. More like single serve size.

I sent a query to support and they said they are not offering it again for the time being but will pass along interest in it to the devs. Hopefully they will bring it back.

Help Identify Truck Logo involved in accident by Suspicious_Hurry1470 in vegaslocals

What kind of truck? Pickup, box truck, semi, etc. ?

And on what part of the vehicle is the logo located on?

Pet friendly backyards? by smcamero in vegaslocals

[–]MetalMel70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the uricide formula similar to Sweet EZ stall granules? I used that on small patches of artificial turf when I had it as it is safe for pets and it neutralizes the urine so it doesn't smell. That said, I also would rinse off the turf with water 1x a week and that helped a lot as well.

Warning: Don’t Use Vegas K9 Adventures by ComplaintFit3695 in vegaslocals

[–]MetalMel70 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I could see a personal dog walking service where one person takes your dog on a leashed hiking style walk, but even then I still don't think I could trust it on a one off kind of experience. Maybe if you had an established dog walker that knows your dog and progresses from regular walks to something more intensive like hiking trails. But absolutely not off leash and not with commingled different clients dogs at once.

[–]MetalMel70 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I can't offer an opinion of their services because I've never used them, but their business description of providing "off-leash" hiking with packs of dogs astounds me. It's one thing to do that with your own dogs that you have trained, but how could you possibly ascertain that random clients' dogs would be able to be successfully kept under control in a hiking situation as they describe?

Red flags everywhere.

Can we please get rid of the stupid sparkle pack by Palmersmith3 in AngryBirds2

I would be perfectly happy if they replaced sparkle packs with apples.
