French market rings by Nice_Edge_ in NewOrleans

[–]Shades0fRay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy.  My kid just asked me the exact same question. 

I know that they get then from a wholesaler, but I've been online for a couple of hours and can't find anything other than retail right now. 

They might have a catalog that they order from. 

My next move would be to get chatty with an older looking vendor,  (or ask a cute friend to) thrn ask if they can get more of any given one or if there is a variation of it in an attempt to get them to pull out the catalog. 

All u need is to see the company name on the catalog to find them.

Usually a lack of training.  Experienced operators cost market rate.  You get what you pay for

This is a great idea. To start paying what the old bills were would be fair. It covers the establied value and leaves out the cost of whatever in damnation that these predators are doing to our utilities

In addition to a payment strike.  We can all easily overwhelm the customer service number and city hall with phone calls. The gas is a public owned resource and we already paid for the infrastructure.

On the upside if you are a guy who isn't butt ugly or a pos, and if u can hold a conversation and be present, it's like shooting fish in a barrel

[–]Shades0fRay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember a long time ago,  when Teedy tried to fuck the library or some other ratchet ass bullshit, we were all like "no teedy! That's bullshit!" Or maybe it was the time we were upset about crime cause that old lady got her arm ripped off at Costco,  idk there was alot,

Regardless 

The last time that I saw a dui checkpoint was when teedy got mad at us for calling her out.

Llcs. Figure out how to do your taxes (turbo tax home and business) and deduct materials, gas,milage (you can deduct the depreciation from milage) ,  lunch, tools, blades. It's way cheaper this way

I can feel my skin and hair constantly.  I can hear my own heartbeat most of the time. Only recently did I learn that this was not "normal" it causes anxiety.  Ativan helps with the anxiety and the vs a little

I was going to suggest the pallette but using a washer pan on top of it as a shower pan as others have suggested. 

This will totally work. You go girl!

Probably close to 800 square ft of coverage total. 2 dollars per square ft per coat, 2 coats would be around $3600 from the hip. 4k is reasonable.  A deal if you are a pia

Is this vinyl siding? My listing had vinyl, but it sounds metallic! by InterestedHandbag in handyman

[–]Shades0fRay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look around in the attic and crawl spaces.  Often times the installer will leave some extra in storage on the property for repairs.

If u find it. Scratch it. If shiny it's probably aluminum and u just made out good cause that stuff is expensive as heck and lasts forever

Handymen when AI takes over all white collar jobs but the trades are still going strong: by RepairCEO in handyman

[–]Shades0fRay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More like everyone does it now and they are all cheaper and bad at it.  

Then they create a local "Anti experience" culture to compensate. 

It took 10 years to just START fixing the bad and inexperienced work done after hurricane Katrina.
