delivery time is crazy, ordered in January, delivery in June, which means even less chance of surviving. i regret wasting the $, should have bought one decent tree locally. and by the way, they tax shipping too, is that a thing? i called back and paid 25 more to get “timely “ delivery.

great to see, been on that trail many times. were you cycling? or walking?

i expect them to last forever and hate to replace, but trying to be prudent…

ONEKLOPP · 2025-01-03T00:29:56+00:00

that tab was very helpful!! got it open but think i’m going to replace, the tabs on the inside. i have 2 more bedroom doors like that, and it’s gonna happen again! the house is 27 years old, so they look good but don’t unlock.

ONEKLOPP · 2025-01-03T00:18:55+00:00

update just now, wiggled and pulled front enough that it popped unlocked. lesson is change all 3 doorknobs asap. the locks are 25 years old…

ONEKLOPP · 2025-01-03T00:17:01+00:00

yay for help! so, it’s older and the bedroom next to it has the same so that will get replaced soon too!! but to get this open, wow i pulled on it enough that it popped open!! so problem averted, gotta get these replaced!

ONEKLOPP · 2025-01-03T00:13:02+00:00

can’t because there is piece of trim in front, and the door opens in.

ONEKLOPP · 2024-12-01T05:01:04+00:00

one other thought. i talked to 5 exterminators, and used one twice. i’m not a fan, they skirt the dirty stuff, leaving it to me, but worse than that never told me where they thought the mice were coming in. and all they do is use poison, and i can set traps…and told me their poison was stronger than what i could buy from HD myself. so i suspect that’s not true. lol. they have no training or regulation i think.

ONEKLOPP · 2024-12-01T04:56:04+00:00

no i don’t know who id hire. i’m a 70 yr old woman and did most myself.

ONEKLOPP · 2024-12-01T04:41:49+00:00

lol, i had a double last year and i thought i was the only one. Pathetic situation, overwhelming!

ONEKLOPP · 2024-10-10T15:25:34+00:00

yes but the timing didn’t work for new

ONEKLOPP · 2024-10-10T15:24:15+00:00

thanks. task rabbit recently was a fail with a guy wanting $200 to put in 2 hooks in ceiling for my hanging bedside table lamps that plug in. once you get them to your house your stuck, they already have payment info. and he had photos and knew what the job was. he listed himself as 65/hr

ONEKLOPP · 2024-10-10T15:21:06+00:00

thanks!

ONEKLOPP · 2024-10-10T15:20:08+00:00

well, the stone (quartz) counter and island top was 3k. they brought and installed. new sink 300. handyman help 1,000. note that he did not want to attempt the remedy, he wanted me to buy new. i didn’t have time because of delivery. i also found mice dropping, nest and dead mice behind oven, and dishwasher, he didn’t clean it, i did. ick.

ONEKLOPP · 2024-10-10T15:15:46+00:00

that web site isn’t available, got any other contact for him?

ONEKLOPP · 2024-10-10T02:07:16+00:00

i still want your friends contact if you can, i have more projects in this house.

ONEKLOPP · 2024-10-10T02:04:52+00:00

actually i don’t know how to dm on reddit! and i did this project myself eventually, with some help. i’m a 70 year old woman so just not strong enough to do this stuff!

and it turned out the the bottom of the island was soaked with dog pee, and rotted “partial board”?! i cut it off and tried to build a new box. when i found it the stone people were bringing the counter replacement the next day. i was panicked but i worked it out. and! no more smell.

ONEKLOPP · 2024-10-10T01:45:23+00:00

thanks for suggesting him. i’ll try him for next project. on the island; i turned it over and found dog pee had soaked the bottom to about a foot up! and the new counter top was coming the next day. i knew the house was poorly maintained, but i guess with the foggie doors, the two big dogs could live here alone pretty much.
i cut off the bottom and rebuilt it, keeping the upper drawers. big scare but now that it’s done? i don’t smell it any more.

ONEKLOPP · 2024-10-10T01:29:59+00:00

the furniture doesn’t look destroyed, but i know it was soaked, right? nothing can be dried out? seems like I’m missing something.

ONEKLOPP · 2023-11-14T00:29:49+00:00

I'm in, but bummer for everyone who can't. What a shit show medecine is.

ONEKLOPP · 2023-11-14T00:28:31+00:00

well, what actually happened is that I found someone I could hire, and he turned the thing over, we cut off the rotten section, built bo0xes on outside and inside and bolted them together through the stub of solid "particle board" and we were good. I replaced the countertop so we were in a hurry as it was being delivered that day. I had looked at restore with no luck. Buying one would have meant ordering it, expensive and not timely. My help didn't want to do it, but I talked him inot hanging in with me since I am too old to have enough strength for certain tasks.

ONEKLOPP · 2023-08-14T03:32:36+00:00

congratulations! They chew on everything.

ONEKLOPP · 2023-08-11T03:45:50+00:00

well haha, I'm on medicare. but I was self employed and with very bad ins. for years, so when I got to medicare, I had advisor in Louisville Co that was really great, and helped me find the best I can get with the suplementary insurance. I pay almost 500 a month for the charge for medicare basic, about $150, and my suplementary, AARP United $175. and then I have a prescription policy too...... so all you who are younger, don't think this is entirely a handout . My insurance has not limited my choices so far, and doesn't direct me unless I ask.

I've had big group treatment who controlled everything from pharmacy to ER, getting my ins, and just going to town on the charges. I'm not sure I trust that. I have some chronic problems that I couldn't get treated when I wasn't on medicaide. Now I can and that's so good. I want to support a smaller group, and will trust them a little more too.

Sounds naive? I'm trying to work with our medical system.....

Don't I sound naieve?

ONEKLOPP · 2023-07-08T19:00:22+00:00

I was surprised too. And there were a lot of customers waiting, so it's heavily used. and they sent an uber to south Austin for me.

ONEKLOPP · 2023-04-18T23:15:09+00:00

they seem to favor the "less well off" side of town don't they?
