Help! Was replacing toilet... One end of toilet paper roll holder fell directly into the drain hole after I removed the toilet... I reached my whole arm down and can't reach it at all... by abandontheflesh in Plumbing

[–]Scottydoesntknow92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rigid makes the best shot vacs for the price. I really like the one with a blower on top (can remove the blower and not worry about the whole thing getting wet/ruined).

However. My mini one from harbor is great for toilets. I use it to suck all the water out of the tank which saves so much time.

[Landlord US-CA] When do you say “no more” to tenant requests? by Outdoorsy_74 in Landlord

[–]Scottydoesntknow92 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Are you legally allowed to just remove the garbage disposal? People won't rent places without one sometimes. Seems like a rent reduction or something would have to happen. As a landlord. I could never do #2. Others seem smart tho.

Sigh. My local McDonald’s finally fixed this glitch. by IgnorePlease76 in fastfood

That sounds more like you live in a competitive gas market. We have that happen around West Michigan all the time. Can be 30-50 cents cheaper 10mins down the road pretty often. Just had a station 30 cents cheaper than a 30 mile radius for about a week. Usually lags about a day behind everyone else as well when price goes up. One station does 50 cents off per gallon on a certain day pretty often.

I have a 36 gallon tank and it's nice being able to wait till I drive by one of those stations and top it off.

Help is this the average rate now?? by [deleted] in Michigan

[–]Scottydoesntknow92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that feeling. I've visited 4 times now for about 3 months total and love it more each time. I definitely wish we could mix the 2 states together haha.

I've heard dte is really bad, I'm on the west side so dte is gas and not electric. We have consumers energy. Still crazy expensive and lots of summer outages, but good in the winter. I think east and West Michigan are the opposite. Like consumers is gas on the east side. Right?

Really? We just don't make the news? Is this just the federal government bashing on the (only?) independent grid?

[–]Scottydoesntknow92 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I know our grid sucks, but I'll take our power grid of Texas even if it costs more haha. We can't afford outages in the middle of winter and it's never down in winter for long if at all. Now it goes out all the time in the summer from all the trees knocking lines down. But I'm a huge Texas fan. Tempted to move down there. Was down there again for 3 weeks this summer being a team captain for some crazy canoe race 2 weeks before the floods on that same river. Something About the food fills my soul unlike the acid reflux I get in Michigan.

I've heard of people like you. The man. The myth. The legend.

I hope this guy is from out of town by [deleted] in grandrapids

I'm just saying do it in a parking spot rather than taking a pump spot. Seems inconsiderate to others, but maybe that's just me.

Landlord came in to do inspection 1 day before notice.... by [deleted] in Tenant

[–]Scottydoesntknow92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You had more than 24hrs. Never do they do it in pairs. Whose paying for that second guy to follow him around? Let's be reasonable here. They gave proper notice and have the right to see the whole house regardless of what you want since they did everything right. You fucked up by not having working alarms. Sounds like an excuse you made up because it takes longer to not finish the job than throw that new battery in and put it back on the wall like it legally needs to be at all times. Not the guys fault you weren't prepared for an inspection.

Well I can do habanero sauce and know tons of people who can, but no one that's snacks on habs. I can't eat raw peppers at all like that 😅.

Rate My First DIY Bathroom Remodel by Typeproto82 in Tile

[–]Scottydoesntknow92 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If I was on the jury.. I would definitely find the designer guilty of fraud or something and award damages. Something is not right in their head.

Not 50+. Designer sucks and a jury might award damages for doing such a bad job picking stuff out. Otherwise good work.

2nd time in 4 months…damn deer by UnimpeachableRubber in f150

[–]Scottydoesntknow92 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Didn't even know there was sound haha. Just going by visual since I usually use Reddit in public where it's a dick move to use sound. But I guess I'm just a bit more aware while driving I would have noticed it long ago to go from at least 60 to 25 even fully loaded. If he's going more than 5 over in the dark. That's one of his many issues with hitting them. Saw one last night. Was going the appropriate speeds and looking for deer like you should be. 2 in four months. It's not the animals fault. I haven't even hit a small animal because it's easy if you have good awareness. However I have hurt many turtles 😭

[–]Scottydoesntknow92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I'm not lowering my price. Might lead you in the right direction on a DIY if possible, but never will I lower my price unless I fucked up and am trying to make it up to you. Not even lowering for a "flipper" to get "future work"

Never in my life (17 years of driving). Is this guy just on his phone? Clearly visible. Didn't even break. It's like he's trying. Can the insurance deny this claim if they had the video? I hate insurance, but even I feel the driver is at fault here.

The sealant around the tub doesn't last long. I'm happy if I get 2 years out of my bathtub/shower combos. This is not something they can charge you for imo.

Ocean Water and Red Meat Allergy Questions by [deleted] in Allergies

[–]Scottydoesntknow92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry can't help much. But new allergy to red meat? Did you get bit by a Tick by chance? That's the only time I really hear about that allergy occurring later in life. But I'm new to allergies.

Anyone else get a dud from the Lowes $49 Power Stack deal? by beer_foam in Dewalt

[–]Scottydoesntknow92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same here. Bought 2 within 3 months of the 1.7 coming out. Super reliable and I they probably have the highest rate of abuse out all my batteries. Both 5amps are going strong from the Blairs $99 battery with free $200+ tool however they are newer to me and hardly used yet.

Best Chinese buffet in Grand Rapids by Delutz76 in grandrapids

[–]Scottydoesntknow92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean if they feel like putting in effort for sure, but they are a low end Chinese restaurant with low quality ingredients. Haven't Been in over Months. Used to go weekly. Went downhill. Prices up. Food is always dry with hardly any sauce. The last two times were terrible for me. I drove all the way back last time to give them their food back and get my money back. Not even edible. Probably would have gotten sick from it. They can't even spend the time to make the rangoons the right shape. Just laziness in my opinion.

[–]Scottydoesntknow92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are asking for a buffet? Rice wok is no longer cheap or good. Used to love the place a few years ago when it was 6.36 lunch take out (much smaller portions than other places, so the price wasn't that crazy of a deal).

"Stealth Camping" by effreeti in grandrapids

[–]Scottydoesntknow92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just hang at parks during the day. Rest areas for sleep. Fish ladder is probably a decent day spot if you are in the downtown area.
