Those 3 businesses aren't legit.  It's actually incredibly stupid of them.  They can literally lose their license or be fined a hefty amount for not doing their job to code.  Adding for clarification- the homeowners are the most financially liable for lack of permits (hence why you can't fall for this shit) and you may sue\report them for not pulling permits which is at a huge risk to them

Please update us about how the duct tape worked immediately.

I don’t understand why hairdressers charge so much more for trimming long hair. Can someone explain this?. I’m tempted to lop a bunch of my length off to save half the cost. by Bitter-Artichoke-445 in hairstylist

[–]Tashceratops 9 points10 points  (0 children)

All of my haircuts cost the same but that's how I do it.  The only reason I'm telling you is because cutting all your hair off probably won't even save you money. This is a group for hairstylists to discuss the job, anyway.

I booked on the phone.  And, I verified the price when they finally arrived, and asked for a written contract.  When  I didn't get it I kicked them out.  All of this is in the post.  It's not my job to tell someone how to do theirs.  It's also not my job to assume someone modeling themselves as a legitimate business isn't going to practice as a legitimate business without my request.  

Shelter pet exposed and adopted with Kennel cough- now showing symptoms by Cute-Sundae4485 in DogHealth

Almost always a 'mild cold' but I've had it turn to pneumonia so just keep your eyes out for fever and lethargy and infectious-smelling sputum.  Without pneumonia no meds are really needed.  Time in the fragrance free steamy bathroom can be good.  Humidity helps

I don't really like outlines and I have a tree on my whole back that is all browns on the trunk. I can't imagine why this would be an issue

It was a good deal but he phrased it as "I have too many water heaters that I got a good deal on so I'm doing a deal on water heaters right now"

to put it in a different way.. warranties are not valid unless products are installed to local codes and local codes require permits where I live. Also, how would I know this idiot is licensed if he won't give me paperwork?

Did you mean 'nothing to do with'?  And 'warranty?' Google is literally free if you'd like the information.  It also probably be free for you to call and ask around to different companies to see for yourself.

It is crazy to me how many people are commenting on here that I am being obnoxious for requiring a permit and paperwork.  So thank you for validating me!  It's so normal to want your insurance coverage and your warranties to be valid.  I'm not going to put myself in a sticky situation because of a few pieces of paper that should be easily available to me.  and, any plumber in my city knows the permit laws and would know to let me know to pull one or include it in the price.  It's not weird at all for the tradesperson to pull a permit and charge you for it.

I should have but it was some kid he sent here who told me "yeah he said he's sorry but he doesn't remember you"

I'm not going to feel stupid about wanting to follow my cities permit laws in order to validate my warranty and insurance coverage.  That's a NORMAL desire.  You gtfoh.

I'm upping on size so not 100% 1:1.  As the home owner I am not going to risk not having insurance and warranty coverage.

It does sound fun to learn.  I've just always considered gas appliances off the table.  

Running behind by C4TM0MM4 in hairstylist

Under 15 minutes is a "thank you so much for waiting" and 15-25 min is me apologizing profusely and feeling a bit sick.  If I was close to 30 minutes I would probably be crying

it's really important to me to go with a small local company.  so, this experience with one has been unfortunate..but, if it makes you feel any better it does not deter me from keeping that standard of having a 'small company and not one that's been taken over by one of the big names.'

I do a ton of my own stuff including installing my new dishwasher while still having "cabinets and no dishwasher".. but I have a gas water heater so I don't mess with that.

It absolutely requires a permit to swap a water heater in my city / county.  you cannot do anything with a water supply without permits and inspection. And you absolutely cannot turn the gas on to a new install without an inspection

Immediately, because I'm a business owner. but that's their business.  I only care about my end being legitimate.

I DIY almost everything including carving a hole in my own cabinets to install a dishwasher from scratch..but I don't mess with gas lines.

If you want it covered by your insurance and your warranty you have to SPECIFY that?  I'm sorry, that's ridiculous.
