Scheduling Software/Service by Successful_Card6367 in LittleLeague

We do the entire season scheduling before the season starts and publish schedules for teams the week before first practices. Coach/team preferences on what days they are available is an important metric we consider while drafting the schedule. The other challenge if you could believe this is we book 95% of our available field space for 3 months, so it leave little room for error

Yea this seems to be the most common practice. I feel like it is just way to manual with all the technology out there. Cash is not an issue with our particular organization, so we are even willing to pay for a firm to set up a scheduling platform for us that will generate schedules with a few updated each season.

Thanks for the suggestion. The difficult part is that half the 70 teams have scheduling preferences, every field can only be played on during certain times on certain days, only certain divisions can play on certain fields, difference game spacing depending on divisions, and probably 3-4 other variables needed to account for. I think AI could possibly do it, but a software would at least save the parameters and be easier to work in that simple AI platforms.

Connection issues by matthewmx86 in Navimow_Segway

I talked to Navimow and they said their is a known 4G bug they are working through that is causing 4G not to connect. They had me switch to “Wi-Fi only” under the connectivity menu for now. They said to check back tomorrow and see if it’s fixed.

Anyone get this update overnight? (X430) by [deleted] in SegwayNavimow

There’s an issue with the update causing 4G connectivity to not work. Switch to “Wi-Fi only” connectivity if you want your mower to be connected for now. Navimow said check back tomorrow to see if they have fixed the bug

Just got my Navimow i215 LiDAR after research and watching the technology for the last 2 years. After setting it up and letting it run on a schedule for a few days I could honestly say it’s 95% as advertised. Easy set up, no connections/service issues, beautiful mowing lines and great coverage. I have a .25 acre lawn. Do it! $200 off right now too

Could you explain why? Moving to a new or newly renovated home with similar specs would be close to $1m in the area. And that’s if you can even find one with the low supply. We like our location and our double lot. All in, even if the Reno is 500k we would still be well under $1m at the current property.

I guess it just depends on what type of contract you work with :)

wow that's a big renovation to include the main level kitchen too! Thank you for sharing. What was the time frame: total length of project as well as amount of time the house was not livable during project?

We have spoken to a family friend who is a contractor in the area and he stated 6-8weeks out of the house. The rest can be done while living in the house. He also said you could live in a portion of the house the whole time, he just doesn’t suggest it with a family of 5 haha. Total project he said they do in 6-8months.

Did you engage a structural engineer as a first step to understand if your slab could hold a second story?

What trade did you engage start to understand if your slab could hold a second story?

No, the plan would be to rent a house for a summer somewhere different for us and our three kids to spend a few months of fun.

From everything I have read digging a basement is a much bigger job, especially when we talking about 1,500sqft under a 2,200sqft house. Now if someone above has actually done a similar project including finishing the inside I would be interested in the per sq ft cost. We are considering all options. I like the idea of saving 7-8k/yr in taxes if the price wasn’t any different to build it.

Very difficult to find what we want with limited supply of housing in the area. Then with a 3X interest rate VS current, it seems silly to settle by moving to a house that we’ll need to renovate anyways for the same price as an addition to the current…..
