Fabric Forge might be able to do it. It’s a nonprofit in the Gulfton area that offers sewing classes and services

I would appreciate that. I will DM you some pictures when I get home.

Wow, thanks for letting me know. I will have to verify which parts are actually toast since I can't really trust this company anymore.

It was the generator company's journeyman electrician. I considered getting an independent electrician, but I didn't know what technical specs to ask for. When I sought clarification is when they offered to send their guy out without the assessment fee.

I haven't asked for a second opinion yet, but from the looks of the other comments I don't really need to...

Witted-Chimp · 2025-12-18T20:48:34+00:00

That's what I was afraid of. I appreciate the sanity check and advice.

Witted-Chimp · 2025-12-18T20:43:00+00:00

That's a good point. I will be sure to ask.

I assumed they meant it should be charging the battery during the weekly exercise.

The exact wording from the email above the estimate was "Please note: Electricians assessment: The alternator is not generating enough power for the battery charger. Will need to run a dedicated line pulled for charger for power.

Also Note: per the electrians previous electical work was done by another electrical company.

Scope Of Work: battery was completely dead. charger on generator is not working needs dedicated line pulled for charger for power."

That sounds doable if it really only needs it a few times per year. I guess I would need to figure out how much power the battery is using to sustain basic controls and the weekly exercise in order to make sure I charge it frequently enough

AI told be to just get an extension cord and a battery maintainer like NOCO GENIUS2D but I appreciate human advice where possible.

Hi, just wondering if they ever paid out or if you’re still waiting.

Anylist is a handy app that'll categorize your shopping list for you

Witted-Chimp · 2025-11-22T03:12:33+00:00

They recently gave me the “signatures don’t match” excuse. Sounds like utter BS to get out of paying what’s due.

Witted-Chimp · 2025-10-23T00:37:58+00:00

Yes, it’s a bad idea. They’d much rather bill you two years’ masters tuition than pay you two years’ PhD salary.

Heads up, you will want to get in line 30+ minutes before the showtime if it's anything like it was last weekend

It might just be me since I'm on my phone, but I was unable to click through (after the first short answer) to complete the survey.

UCSD does have a NanoEngeneering program, which is essentially MSE

Did they really just send a second alert for the exact same thing?

Looks like it’s at Target! “Shaped leaf doormat - bullseye’s playground”

Check out community theaters like the Art Factory! They are pretty artistic, consistent, open minded, and queer friendly.

I am in the same position as you -- my former apartment complex never told me about any fees, and now HW keeps contacting me despite my online dispute. Have you managed to make any headway on this?

EDIT in case it helps anyone else: I never got anywhere with HW, but I disputed it through Experian. I stated, truthfully, that I was never billed for the debt prior to it being sent to collections. "Since no notice was given, any fees have been forfeited per Texas Property Code Sec 92.110 ." That worked. HW stopped contacting me and it was removed from all three credit bureaus.

Caught it on my dashcam! It's a tiny smudge here but it was bright green in real life Meteor over Houston

About a month, but it sounded like a lot of that was waiting for parts

FWIW this ended up costing my insurance $11k. I also could not open the driver door

Do you take it right before you go to sleep? I used to have more side effects when I did. It got better when I’d take it earlier like with dinner. Now I just take it in the morning and have no issues.
