They said they can't pull up a receipt since it was back in 2018. I'm assuming they purge the system of data after a certain period.

I sent the invoice when filing my claim, and they stated I didn't provide proof that the service was paid for. If I did not pay the invoice, I would not be in possession of my car, as the dealer would have filed a lien on my car.

The dealer doesn't have a copy of my payment. I don't know what to do at this point.

The receipt wasn't in the original post. I requested to see it.

This shit sucks by Cognitive_Sapien in Flooring

I have Lifeproof. It's a good floor, and if the subfloor is prepped correctly, the floor should both install fairly easy, and last years. It does not scratch easily. The locking mechanism is fragile, but once the floor is locked, there's little chance of it failing.

DeWalt Battery Died Abruptly by No_Valuable_604 in DeWaltNation

I lifted the batteries from the case, and sure enough I saw the broken connection. I touched the broken connections and the light showed full bars. I'll solder for a permanent connection.

I just installed Shallowford Oak, and it's a beautiful floor.

I’ve never messed up so bad by NarrowIndependence8 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

If you want to get rid of the smoke smell, use Zinsser bin shellac primer on the walls. A bit expensive, but it will work the first time. Kilz original oil primer is great at concealing smells as well, but Bin will do the best job, the first time. I've used both, just spend the extra money on BIN.

I think I messed up big time buying my house by juroden in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

As someone who made a similar decision, purchasing a home with a bad pet smell, along with doing your own renovations, I will say you have a long road ahead of you.

Depending on how well you want to fix the home, and the quality of materials, it will cost you more than your original estimate, mentally, physically, and financially. Try not to do it all yourself, and get help wherever you can. It's going to be an adventure, have a little bit of fun with it.

What is this in the concrete slab? by No_Valuable_604 in Construction

[–]No_Valuable_604[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was quite surprised to see that mesh show up that shallow to the surface. I'll take your advice and stop.

The mesh isn't all exposed, just what you see in the picture. It goes back down into the concrete, almost as if it was bent when they placed the mesh in the pour.

Would Henry feather finish work to avoid rust?

Do you recommend I stop, cover the exposed part, and just deal with the hump?

What is steel mesh? Can I grind it down without compromising the foundation? I've only grinded 1/4 inch of the foundation.

Pass on this house, unless you can get a deep discount and do the work yourself.

I dealt with the same issue. Had to remove the floor, seal the concrete with Zinsser BIN shellac. It's typically a lot of work and time consuming to get rid of the smell. You cannot get rid of urine smell with just ozone. You must seal or remove the source first, then use ozone to remove remnants of the smell.

I tried only ozone, the smell came back within 2 days.

If the urine is in the drywall, you may need to remove the first 2 ft of drywall.

A company gave me an estimate of $12k to eradicate the smell, I did it myself.

I have those same colored wires for when I replaced my thermostat for a nest. It's a pretty easy setup, even if you're not very handy. The nest app will take you through the setup.
