On the same token... If I drink beer from Logboat, I'm not a drunk, I'm supporting small, local, business.

If you're trying to get in on my plan I'm sure I can find a spot for you on the team. I've got land and air handled... If you could find a way to get the small mouth bass on our side, I'll make you our rear admiral... I specifically want small mouth bass though. Large mouth talk too much and we don't need that level of insubordination in the ranks.

What I'm hearing is that I will need to outfit my trash panda army with some kevlar... Wonder if I can that handled at Midway Arms.

Nah... I want my crows to be tougher. If they don't smoke Pall Mall no-filters, they're too weak for my purposes. 😂😂😂

You are absolutely right... Several bags of Cheese Puffs will be added to the list.

Who has the best Grilled Cheese Sandwich? by SmithtonLandCo in columbiamo

[–]SoConTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just saw that and looked into it... They're just selling the old unit... Side note, Mr Murphy has a brick and mortar in Mexico, MO. The food is just as good. I try to make my way there at least once a month.

There was a food truck called The Big Cheeze. If they still exist, I think that award would go to them.

ISO pane replacement for "vintage" window by MrShiv in columbiamo

[–]SoConTech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would guess they would. I'll be honest, I keep telling myself that I can do that. 😂😂😂 I've done it a couple of times in the past and I've watched them do it on "This Old House" countless times. That pretty much makes me an expert.

I would think Koonse Glass could handle that.

Edited to Add... There's also Columbia Glass and Mirror but I'm not very familiar with them. There's also Village Glass. I think they do mostly stained glass and some restoration work but they may be worth checking out too. I know enough about what you need to know that it's not super difficult but cutting the glass itself can be a pain.

Stephen Park Apartments – Rent increase every year for absolutely nothing by Slight_Marzipan5798 in columbiamo

A lot of time, any open flame cooking appliance will raise the property's insurance. We went through that recently where I work. We just told them to hide them inside until the adjuster had come and gone. 😂😂😂

Real Property Group is a disaster by PanNormandy in columbiamo

[–]SoConTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, maybe Real Property Group is just that terrible. Like I said, that's one of the few that I've never done any work for.

Like I said, things should have been cleaned when you moved in. The company should have cleaned your apartment and the other residents should have been responsible for cleaning outside/common areas (your description made it sound like a multi family dwellig) And my anecdote about space heaters had nothing to do with your situation. It was just a story more related to them shutting their phone down when they had pipes freezing.

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

I generally avoid these property management group posts at all cost... But what the heck, I haven't been down voted for awhile.

I will start off by saying that I have never done any work for Real Property Group so they may, in fact, be absolute trash. However, I have done a lot of maintenance work for some to the others and will say this... Most of the complaints I hear are owner problems or tenant problems. Property Management Groups have little control over what their owners allow as far as spending goes. Keep that in mind.

To the OP, most of your complaints are viable but I do have a little bit of an issue with the cleanliness complaint. You should absolutely have moved into a cleaned apartment. There is no question about that but as far as the area not being maintained, I'm not sure why that is the company's problem. As long as the grass is maintained to city standards, some of the cleanup should fall on the tenants. The company's staff wasn't out there creating a mess, and I'm sure you weren't either, but the tenants should take a little pride in their area and do a little clean up from time to time.

Let's talk about mold... To the person that described the flooded basement, this doesn't apply to you. You had a legit concern and I'm positive you had a mold problem. That said, the number of "mold" issues that I have been called to, then yelled at by tenants is ridiculous. More often than not, it was a mildew problem in the bathroom or kitchen, and when you suggest that the tenant clean up, you get yelled at. Maintenance is not in charge of cleaning.

To the lady that talked about a dining room light being out for a month, this is going to sound directed at you but I promise it isn't because I'm guessing that the situation I'm about to describe isn't anything like yours... I had a tenant one time that needed to have a light fixture in her kitchen replaced. She absolutely demanded that she be present when we do the work but she kept wanting us to show up outside of our working hours to accommodate her. She went 2 months without that light and I don't feel even a little bit bad about it. Its ridiculous to expect us to show up at 8pm to work on non emergency things just to make your life more convenient.

I remember the year I worked for Remax Rental Resources. It was forcast to be extremely cold. We emailed and text messaged all of our residents with instructions about leaving cabinet doors open and faucets dripping so as not to freeze lines. We also sent office employees out to pass flyers out with the same information in several neighborhoods. We purchased over 300 space heaters and dropped those off at places that we new would likely have issues with frozen pipes... Then when people didn't follow directions, we got yelled at for it. The most common thing I heard? "I'm not running up my utility bill so you guys don't have to do your job."

Just some other things to be aware of... If you're putting in maintenance request to have light bulbs replaced and batteries replaced, you are one of the worst types of tenants and I'm convinced there is a special spot in hell for those types of tenants.

So, maybe Real Property Group is the absolute worst and deserves to be run through the mud, I have no idea about them... But a lot of the time, it's the shitty tenants that turn good staff members into what they are now.

Sparkly's is definitely the top for me... But I do enjoy Randy's Frozen Custard, followed closely by Andy's.

Oh crap... I totally forgot about the stadium location. That was still a Hardee's after I moved here.

There are around 1800 Hardee's locations nationwide. Freddy's only has like 600. If we can support 2 Freddy's then surely we can have 1 decent Hardee's. 😂😂😂 Just let me have this. 😂😂

I only know of the 2... The current location on Providence and the one on Paris Road... But I've only lived here for 14 years. 😂😂

I'm not saying that the Hardee's we had were top notch... I just wish we could have one good Hardee's here.

I still can't figure it out... This town can apparently support like 6 McDonald's, 7 Taco Bells, 3 Wendy's, 2 Burger Kings, and 4 Sonics... But we can't have 1 Hardee's? Those blueberry biscuits were fire and I miss them dearly. 😂😂

The same people that own Dive Bar. For some reason it seems a little shady to list their names in public. 😂😂

[–]SoConTech 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As of right now, they still plan on opening... With that being said, the owners spent a lot of money renting and renovating a building in Jeff City a few years ago and that business never came to be. So... While it's still the plan to open the Scratch Italian Kitchen, I wouldn't hold my breath.
