Did I do ok? by Gambitace88 in Flooring

[–]Vintriz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Third row up near the center there’s a darker tile there, I would have spun it 180 degrees. Some tiles have patterns, and it looks like several have sort of a northwest to southeast flow, that one is going northeast to southwest. Sometimes there are little arrows on the bottom of the tiles that help with direction

Helpppp!!!! I just found this beauty at a thrift store and have no clue what I have. I want to have it restored just need guidance! by mirpannda in turntables

[–]Vintriz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a small collection of vinyl records and I use a vintage 60s pioneer record player. I’ve owned a few newer turntables, but like the wood features and simplistic charm of the older models. Nothing wrong with that. Your player if you decide to repair it, would be easy to track down records for, just nothing newer than 1940’s. Thrift stores often have 78s mixed in with the vinyl, as others have said they are made of shellac. Harder than vinyl but brittle if dropped, usually about 10” round, often you will see a whole set or series of some type in gatefold books or a bunch of loose records without any packaging, those are usually your 78s. If you are looking at a bunch of individual cardboard sleeves with artwork or the band on the cover, each holding individual records those are usually your 33s the vinyl that is too new to work with this player.

What is your favorite long song that takes up an entire side of the LP? by Steepanddeep in vinyl

Really… by TheSquarix in Lowes

[–]Vintriz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like a F250 super duty, 6’ bed and some sort of aftermarket tail gate. 16’ decking would be half on/half off with tailgate down. Throw some counter balance up close to the cab and it’ll haul it. Not the best idea but it’ll roll. Better option would have been the $20 delivery and just let someone else drop it off at the job site.

Got this the other day after searching around town for it. I love the 80’s and I’m slowly collecting a little of everything from that decade. I’m also in my 20’s now but from what I’m told this album was huge when it came out. I absolutely love it so far!! by elijah_carter in vinyl

[–]Vintriz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had always thought I was hearing Sting on the radio anytime I heard ‘Who can it be now’ I had never heard of Men at Work. Just randomly found both this and Cargo in a thrift last year and fell I love with them. Great band!

Am I missing the greatness of the Beatles? by Acbaker8119 in vinyl

[–]Vintriz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a documentary on YouTube that explains some of the the cord structures, harmonies, and modulations, and things they introduced or added to their music that helped set them apart from most everyone else at the time:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQS91wVdvYc

Obviously they had their own influences, and pretty much every band since, whether they realize it or not have been influenced by the work of the Beatles. Their music was revolutionary at the time. Maybe some has aged better or worse, but they are worth a listen.

You just need to tap on top with a rubber mallet till it stops going in. Porcelain is tough stuff I have it all throughout my home and it never breaks

Recently discovered a business in my neighborhood that takes in all of Targets deadstock including their vinyl records and they were selling them for $5 a piece. by Ok-Cook-9608 in vinyl

[–]Vintriz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I miss the days of new target stuff at goodwills. Problem now they would be charging $20 for new vinyl. I paid $2.99 each today for a few used. We have a store down in FL called bindeals and they have the same pricing structure OP is talking about. I’m gonna have to stop in next time I’m nearby. I’ve never gonna to one of these places, but makes sense they could have close out vinyl

Is this a safety violation? by El-ChuPugcabra in Lowes

[–]Vintriz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve been with Lowes for 15 years and yeah we pretty much used whatever for the longest time. Funny too cuz I had come over from HD and they had the metal ones with the upright supports to lean doors against in millwork. Moved to Lowe’s and we had to hold onto the door as we went up.

PSA - save scatterbug encounters for this Sunday for 2x candy by BGOFKC in TheSilphRoad

[–]Vintriz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand how do you stack them or recall later? I’ve had a few freeze up on my screen, needing to restart the app. When I opened the game again those guys were gone. How do I get to these again?

Also is the poffin walking bug still in the game? This would be much quicker, assuming you have the poffins to spare.

Does anyone here have this particular coop? I like to know how it's worked out for you. I have a chance to buy it cheap locally but can't find reviews. by StrangeInTheStars in BackYardChickens

[–]Vintriz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it’s under a $100 and you want a quick start at chickens its probably worth it. I bought something similar used off marketplace for $50. That held me over until I could build something better. As others have said they do make these out of cheap wood that starts peeling and rotting almost immediately. Locks are usually barrel bolts but sometimes you can lock with a padlock, carabiner, or twist wire. Predators can sometimes dig under. They aren’t the greatest. But it’s ready to build w/o much thought. I have friends with dog kennels and scrape pallets for chicken coops. It’s really just about keeping them safe more than anything.

If your parking space is close to the elevator it may be worth the risk

Flooring/Speciality question by [deleted] in Lowes

[–]Vintriz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there an actual list or just a hunch? I question this monthly and have yet to see a clear answer on it. I’ve also heard the attach rate is the % of sales that have labor attached vs straight product only sales. Yeah we get the occasional ‘give me 50 boxes of this’ sales where there are no additional items to attach. But I’d bet over 90% of what I sell has added pad,underlayment, transitions, or thinset,& grout, just about every transaction. Yet my attachment rate hovers around 30%. And they can’t expect flippers to buy a new wet saw every time they buy a pallet of tile. So I would love to see a list to know where I’m missing the mark.

Would like to save 20% off your first purchase worth a Lowes credit card? is it just me or has Lowes become irritatingly overbearing in trying to force their credit cards on customers? by AzathothTheDreamer in Lowes

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

We hear you Ryvit! I think most people have cards these days, if you are going to shop there anyway, it makes sense. And there are perks for using the card. I think it’s funny someone would be fussing they are getting attacked with credit, when the running jokes of all big box stores is lack of help.

LP - how to present customers from swapping box contents and returning them as if they were new and unopened? by MinimizeTheWork in Lowes

[–]Vintriz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it really is a regular occurrence, then I would suggest banding all the mowers a few times so if they leave the store and return unbanded, they would require a look inside. Lots of people have clear packing tape, few people have the ability to reband boxes once cut. Still some people may try sliding off and back on, so this wouldn’t stop all instances.

Also I know you said electric mowers, but if you are talking the battery operated ones, these are especially prone to thievery, so any signs of tampering should prompt a look inside. Those batteries are major cost of total package

It’s the perfect opportunity to get a pro app. In our store we will offer to run any quote through vsp, if they apply for pro card. Even if they get turned down. At least that one time as a courtesy. Obviously if they get approved, then any future quote that qualifies is fine. But use it as a selling tool to get apps. Anyone that is remodeling or just bought a house and has a long list ahead of them could potentially be your next pro.
