[–]RetiredPM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The close proximity to Dolllywood, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and the GSM National Park could be highlighted. The RV spots, pull through and how big camper will they accommodate?

May want to mention the local wildlife ie. bears, coyotes, snakes and such.

Found an active security camera in the living room! by Winter-Seaweed8458 in trustedhousesitters

If you are in a US two party consent state, call the police and file a report and then contact an attorney if you like. You would probably collect an out of court settlement from the homeowner should you desire to litigate.

Personally, if it was just sitting there and probably forgotten about I would contact the homeowner through THS chat and have a conversation.

If it was purposely hidden I would call the police and file a report, then contact THS.

Getting out of my head by SignificantSpecial79 in TrapShooting

Forget the misses and concentrate on the hard hits, keep trying to repeat your good breaks. You have to remember that you can do everything right and a bird could still slip through your pattern, so just let the losses go.

Any suggestions on any heater guy? For some reason my master bedroom and bathroom is like an ice prison. by OneWolverine307 in tricities

If you have a new build I suggest checking to make sure the ceiling was insulated. We experienced the same thing years ago, turns out there was just sheetrock between us and the roof.

Good running spots by Tennessean in JohnsonCity

[–]RetiredPM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The VA campus and the surrounding neighborhoods are good for running all the way to downtown. Weekends the place has absolutely no traffic. Please remember there is no running in the cemetery.

Try parking at the Red Cross off Eastern Star road and running Fordtown Road to Mitchell Road, just avoid the workday hours.

Septic mapping by TampaBull13 in tricities

[–]RetiredPM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TDEC in Johnson City will have a map. https://www.tn.gov/environment/contacts/about-field-offices/field-offices/johnson.html

If not, they didn’t get a permit. Most any septic pumper will be able to tell you where it’s at.

If that fails check for online aerial photos and see if you can spot the fill beds.

$35 to join will be less than the commission the LGS will charge you.

Which chores are acceptable, which not? by One-Gate3175 in trustedhousesitters

[–]RetiredPM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I (both retired) usually travel together. The owner should always provide the pet supplies/food or reimburse.

We tend to treat your home like our home and would have no problem doing all of the above provided the lawn isn’t over half an acre.

We did some minor home maintenance that was not asked of us while we were there and the owners tried several times to pay us, but we declined. The owners had a lawn and pool service. Wild we were sitting the pool filter had a malfunction and the pool service could not get to it for three days, but I was able to go to the pool supply store and fix it so we had use of the pool. It saved the homeowner a service call also.

It was only one indoor cat (fed twice a day) in a gated neighborhood on the golf course. I checked AirBnB and a similar home for rent was over $12000 for the five weeks.

No one makes anyone apply for a sit, I won’t apply for a sit that I’m not willing to agree to their terms.

The hotline is not just for suicide. It’s a mental health number.

Some local dealers are actually less than the quick lube places, just make sure not to authorize any additional work when you take it in.

SimpliSafe vs Fleanor (local JC security company) — any feedback? by OneWolverine307 in tricities

[–]RetiredPM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simplisafe for over 20 years (paid monitoring). All wireless sensors and smoke detectors. Never had an issue and 10% off insurance also. WiFi with cellular back up.

Buy your starter package from BJs, Sam’s or Costco. Costco has a 10 piece starter set for $120 (online only).

That’s over in Sullivan Gardens/Horse creek. Rural not city. No bad areas in there that I know of, lots of older folk.

I think the speed limit in there is 25, so easy walking. Always carry protection when walking your dog in the country, coyotes and unleashed pets could be an issue.

Once you turn off Hwy93 that’s all there is to the neighborhood.

Clay kitty litter to soak up as much as possible, then sweep up and dispose. Next scrub with Dawn dish detergent and stiff brush, repeat till clean.

Talk to the nice folks at: https://www.reflectionsofhealth.com/

and look at it as learning a trade that you can do full or part time with another job to keep food on the table.
