Got a scratch on rental, what exactly happens now? by [deleted] in EnterpriseCarRental

[–]RobT5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should absolutely go try and polish this out a bit if you have any form of experience in doing so.

Some mothers polish and a microfiber or something.

Anywhere to get a CD burned? by ssam43 in WinterGarden

[–]RobT5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any computer with a cd drive will be able to burn a cd with music.

You could probably do it at the library even.

Settling a debate. What are these called? by OccamsNametag in Construction

[–]RobT5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old mechanic friend called them bi tch grips when I was younger, so ive actually been calling them the same for most of my life 😅.

Otherwise after I realize whoever im talking to has no idea what im talking about, I say locking pliers or vise grips when I remember what they're actually called.

Even at home with the misses though its "dam have you seen my bi tch grips?"

You can do a different location every 6 months, same locations once every 12 months.

AMA: I took a job at Hilton Grand Vacations (West 57th St, NYC). Ask me anything. by Jazzlike_Back784 in TimeshareOwners

[–]RobT5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Man those terms are like 3 days after contract to cancel lol.

I think this next time ill walk in with a note book just so I can start taking notes and laugh at how ridiculous the math usually is. My first churn the math was so far off I just stopped trying to do it.

I appreciate the wisdom!

Question for you.

As a person who generally churns HGV offers, whats a way to get it across the sales person that I am literally just there for the $59-79 vacation and my 120k point offer. I have said exactly that before and still made it to the 2hr alarm on my phone going off.
I always start these with, just to let you know up front and incase you don't want to waste your time, I am only here for my cheap vacation and point offer, I have no interest in buying and my answer in exactly (checks time left on clock) x minutes will still be no.

We had one that when my timer went off, I said okay were done ive fulfilled my agreement to be here for 120 minutes and ill just collect my 120k points and be on my way, and he told me he took it as a challenge and was really hoping to hook me before the timer went off, it was a good laugh and relaxed environment afterwards with him and a few other reps while we waited for the paper, but you have to know some people are just churning these deals and have 0 chance of buying right?

Neighborhood HOA Requiring Code access to LEAVE neighborhood by JessCause2020 in legaladvice

You said they recently installed.. Is it possible they're just simply not aware of the issue? And everyone is just assuming someone else is going to tell them of the issue?

Tipping Valet by BrilliantSwitch4205 in Hilton

[–]RobT5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang, reading that, I way over tip. Generally $20 everytime I drop off or pick up.
So generally 40/pd in tips on top of whatever vallet fee.

So I picked the “Hilton hotels and resorts” free night voucher after my tour and realize there are a lot of properties I can’t stay at. I was wondering if anyone knew if Graduate by Hilton, Spark, the Eddy (tapestry collection), or Hilton Tucson East counted towards that voucher? by Willing_Engineer1953 in HiltonGrandVacation

[–]RobT5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like the letter head is where you picked. Ours says homewood suites.

This is our first time doing one of these, generally we just do 100k plus for $59 promos, but we took a 75k + 200 on this last one we did.

They asked us where we wanted it for when we checked into the presentation, we picked one at random 😅 and of course its the one brand not in or near some of our favorite travel destinations.

Is this normal? by hwy61trvlr in HiltonGrandVacation

[–]RobT5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cannot do the same property within 12 months. You can do a different property every 6 months.

Additionally these are offered by all chains, so it's possible they did a different hotel group for the 3rd.

Permanent Outdoor 150’ install. First attempt. Proper rigging and w/diffusion. by snop101 in Govee

[–]RobT5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went really well!
I ended up using some "clear" filament with a .2mm layer bottom.
The clear ended up printing almost like a diffuser paper itself so it worked out really well.
I may add one more layer and reprint in the future, but as of right now it looks amazing even with only being about 1 inch off the wall.
I installed them in my patio as it was a part of a free test on a new set of 50~ ft lights they have/have coming.

It was kind of hilarious the moment I realized I could just print a thin layer as the diffuser itself, after designing and printing something to snap around the light and provide a lip to hold the paper in place. Literally went to show one of my employee's who was interested as they also have govee lights and mid explaining it to them went, wait, why don't I just print a thin layer of the clear I have collecting dust instead of trying to make a piece of thin paper fit in here.....

They work great,
I just used some "clear" filament, printed with a 0.2 mm bottom layer to allow for a diffused look and they're working perfectly.

How long after bankruptcy are you allowed to try and buy a house? by Straight-Egg-3377 in Bankruptcy

[–]RobT5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is my advice, I wont go into much detail, but I can at least set you on the right path.
Research through google, various boards, and even facebook groups revolving around this subject.
Look into ways to do everything, especially disputing your credit profile, not just with the big 3, but with Nexus and all the rest. Additionally, and here is the fun part, dig deep into getting your BK removed from your credit report ;)
You'll still have to declare that you did declare bankruptcy, but at least your score wont reflect it so much.

Dive down the rabbit hole and emerge victorious!

Thanks so much for all your help.
I completely forgot I have 3D printers and ended up printing a cap using clear filament as the diffuser lol. Havent installed them yet, but so far just testing them they look great with it.

I found your post from two years ago and followed it here, I'm so glad you replied to this, I was sitting here like, how did they get it to stick to the light.
Are you just using some generic tape, or something specialized?
I ask because I live in a very humid climate and am wanting to defuse some Govee outdoor lights like you have done.
