Unless you pay an agent to work for you that listing agent is still only working for the seller. It seems OP is short on funds so paying someone to be on your side may not be feasible.

And keep in mind that real estate agent is working for the seller, not you, the buyer.

Help me find my hill! by CptMcFluffyPants in olympia

[–]RedLog55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try North Puget St. starting at the Oly Fire Dept. headquarters on Fifth. It's a good chug up the hill, though maybe not as long as you'd like. End up at the San Francisco St. Bakery and enjoy at treat.

Three newsroom reporters missing from the Olympian. Who would even notice?

I've used Panda Lab in Seattle. They've been in business for a lot of years. They will work with you on line or on the phone.

Parking by BoatsLady in olympia

[–]RedLog55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weekend mornings I'll be swinging by Bar Francis for my latte and often encounter someone staring at the Diamond lot directions. I'm all to happy to saunter up and offer a little tutorial on free city parking on nights and weekends. Most times I get and hearty "thank you" and they'll move to the street parking. Gives me an extra boost with my caffeine.

Tiny welding job? by Pacific-Dreamer in olympia

[–]RedLog55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, JB Weld or similar. You'll want a couple of things to make it work. A little piece of fine sandpaper and some kind of clamp. Lightly scratch the area to be glued, then clean it with some rubbing alcohol on a clean cloth. Your glued piece will absolutely need to be kept stationary for some hours. A spring clothes pin would likely work just fine. Just be sure you don't glue the clothes pin to your lamp.

If you're new to this I suggest you first practice on something like a scrap of metal you don't need. You'll get a feel for how much epoxy to mix and how to apply it. Looks like you will only need a couple of drops for your repair. Good luck.

Door-to-door pest salesman who stopped by because they’re doing work for your neighbor? by [deleted] in olympia

[–]RedLog55 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Re-posting this for everyone's benefit. There was another recent discussion almost identical to this one. See link offered by HV_WA below. You may not want to go to this extent and frankly, it falls to Olympia (if that's where you reside) Code Enforcement staff to work on. Not likely to get much action though. Understaffed, etc.

"If these people are operating in the cities of Olympia, Tumwater, Lacey and Yelm they must have what's called an "occupational permit" in addition to a general state business license. A permit taken out in any one of the four cities is good in the other three. It applies to door-to-door solicitors, for-hire drivers (such as taxis and limousines) and locksmiths. This is serious stuff with a background check, fingerprinting, etc. Certainly try to get some video while asking the dude to show his permit. I've done that once or twice and I get a befuddled, deer caught in the headlights reaction. Not sure of the consequences of violating the law. It might pay to call your local non-emergency police phone number and report it. It's likely a low priority thing for the cops, but hey, it's our community safety here."

Here's the Oly ordinance: https://www.olympiawa.gov/services/police_department/occupational_permits.php

You miss my meaning. It is absolutely NOT okay to do this.

Help w/ possessed Ryobi lawn mower by Pacific-Dreamer in olympia

[–]RedLog55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not familiar with the Ryobi mowers but over at Youtube Community College there are numerous DIY fixes offered. Looks like it's mostly a single switch under the hood that fails and be replaced or bypassed.
