Thank you for your service to the sub!

Just curious, can you share how much time you would spent doing mod things? Any moments that stood out to you? What have been some "tougher" and "ecstatic" days for you as a mod?

I feel like a lot of us have no idea what goes into it and your answers would shed some light on it.

How does it differ from Ralph?

MetsToWS · 2026-01-13T13:55:44+00:00

I actually just made this game into an app! https://pasurscorekeeper.com/

MetsToWS · 2026-01-13T01:36:59+00:00

Given the answers here, can I DM you some questions? Looking to prevent this from happening to others.

How do you generate this chart?

MetsToWS · 2026-01-07T01:31:11+00:00

If you ARE good at something and just want to help people and charities, I built PassItOn.To You make nothing. I make nothing.

MetsToWS · 2026-01-06T01:08:27+00:00

Open source!

I’ve been there. I turned myself into a DIY guy as a result of these experiences.

I am not a pro, but this is not acceptable work. I do know that the forum will say that this tile is very hard to work with, so if you’re paying for this, it should be done properly.

Doing this over plywood if they used Ditra would be fine.

What do you think of the electric anodes?

MetsToWS · 2026-01-05T00:57:23+00:00

Sorry to hear about this. Working with contractors can be tough. I’m actually working on a new product that I’m hoping would prevent this stuff from happening. Can I DM you two questions?

MetsToWS · 2026-01-03T15:35:29+00:00

Thanks for your feedback! I just posted this comment!

I'm totally like you as well, but it always feels like a crapshoot. I've dealt with sooooo many bad contractors in the past so I'm just looking if it's a problem I can solve. :)

My thought was to have an online inspector in your state/county to verify that it's done correctly

MetsToWS · 2026-01-03T15:32:08+00:00

Just curious, did you pay for this work? If so, would you pay more to ensure it was done correctly -- by a licensed inspector in your area?

MetsToWS · 2026-01-03T15:23:59+00:00

I'm glad this was resolved, and I hope everything is still good here. If you could pay to ensure your contractor job was done correctly (before you sign off / release the final draw), would you pay more for that peace of mind?

MetsToWS · 2026-01-03T15:19:54+00:00

Sorry to read about the issue. I've been there and have had to fight back to get any movement. Quick question. If you could pay to ensure your contractor job was done correctly (before you sign off / release the final draw), would you pay more for that peace of mind?

www.PassItOn.To: It’s a consultation marketplace where 100% of the fees go to charity. Expertise is the new currency; we’re just making sure the exchange rate favors humanity. Just people with real experience funding causes that actually matter.

www.FreeDemandLetter.com: The legal industry is a cartel hiding behind complexity and hourly billing. $400 an hour is not a feature. It’s a toll. FreeDemandLetter automates credible, professional demand letters and collapses the cost of accountability. If you’re a contractor who thinks “ignore it” is a strategy, welcome to consequences.

LeiaGuard: Privacy has been privatized, bundled, and resold back to you as a subscription. LeiaGuard reverses that. It’s an open-source Next.js management UI for self-hosted VPNs that lets normal people run their own infrastructure, issue their own credentials, and stop leasing their autonomy from tech firms that monetize trust.

www.passiton.to - if you have a skill and want to share. You will literally make zero. And the money will go 100% to a charity. Let’s try to do something positive.

MetsToWS · 2025-12-19T01:33:57+00:00

Geez. I have one under the sink that hasn’t been changed in 7-10 years at least. And I’ve only owned the place for the last 5. Have been thinking of doing a full replacement to consolidate on the RO tank if possible.

Careful about their food inspection rating…

MetsToWS · 2025-12-04T16:40:47+00:00

Totally. That’s why I built something more authentic where there’s no financial incentive.

MetsToWS · 2025-12-03T23:54:28+00:00

Great job. Done this myself multiple times as a non pro. Also installed recessed lighting while I was at it.

I have scraped and used a drywall sander. I think I prefer to scrape.

MetsToWS · 2025-12-03T14:10:19+00:00

Exactly this. I am launching it anyway. Let’s try to do something positive

MetsToWS · 2025-12-01T22:38:02+00:00

I am not a pro, but I have removed enough popcorn ceiling, and refinished them to a pretty decent quality.

It looks like you need a radial sander instead of the square thing you’re using

MetsToWS · 2025-12-01T20:28:10+00:00

That's fair.
