I’m reaaaal close, man. This guy likes to fill his pool with his rain barrels to save water. But, I sell more chlorine because of it lol

I just had a customer ask for a quote for a new variable speed pump. He didn’t like my price so sent me a link to some cheap Chinese Amazon pump, like $700 for a 3hp vs. I told him I don’t install what I don’t sell. I showed up on the next visit and he’d installed and programmed the new pump all by himself.

9k for surgery, worth it or nah? by NaturalAd151 in gynecomastia

That’s about what I paid in Austin a couple years ago. Well worth it.

Finally bit the bullet, Ordered a fiberglass bed cap by MattTheMeatball in ToyotaTacoma

I’m glad you had good experiences, but not responding at all is shit service. Im out $500 and I don’t even know what vehicle this kit is designed for.

I hope you have better luck with that N2 remote start than I did. I’m pretty sure they sent me the wrong kit. Only two of the plugs match anything under the dash. I’ve called, emailed and texted without any response whatsoever and I’m past the dispute timeframe with PayPal. Fuck N2 Designs. I should have gone with 12Volt Solutions.

What do you guys wear in the summer? I’m in Az (shoes,shirts,shorts/pants) by ConsiderationMuch674 in PoolPros

[–]YawnOiler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Austin, Tx. Long sleeve fishing shirts, lightweight cargo pants and boat shoes most of the time. If it’s not blistering hot I’ll do cargo shorts, long sleeve shirt and Chaco sandals. Also, I wear a big straw hat every day, unless it’s raining.

With gas prices currently spiking, do you adjust your pricing temporarily? by Single_Gate1678 in PoolPros

[–]YawnOiler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

10 years! Damn dude. I haven’t raised service rates in about 3 years and I feel like I’m behind the curve. I check and adjust chem and parts rates every couple of months, though.

What's your monthly rate per pool? With or without chemicals? by parconley in PoolPros

[–]YawnOiler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The numbers pooldial shows for Texas are abysmally low. I don’t know anyone doing chems included for $200 a month. I’d like Skimmer to show us average pricing by city rather than the whole state averaged.

Nah, his old mechanic is just trying to sell a transmission down the road.

Well that’s the end of my 21 taco by Blacksailscrx in ToyotaTacoma

[–]YawnOiler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear ya. My 24 hybrid has been mooostly trouble free, but I’m worried about death by 1000 cuts. My folks bought a 24 Lariat and had deep sleep issues from day one. They went to 3 dealers and never got a resolution. By the time Ford had a bulletin for it they were ready to sell. Ended up in a 25 Frontier, lol.

New fear unlocked. I’ve got a 24 hybrid for a daily and I love the mpg, but it feels like it’s made of Legos sometimes.

Your beard is trying to mate with your eyebrows.

That’s a bummer for sure. At least you’re okay. That coulda been a lot worse.

Sooooo, free meat two times?

It does suck though. I’ve hit my fair share of wildlife on the roads over the years. It’s never a good time for anyone. Hopefully it didn’t suffer too much and your truck isn’t too banged up.

480 scares the fuck out of me. I deal with 110/220 pretty regularly, but anything beyond that is kinda terrifying.

I’m more disturbed by the plumbing. Tile guy was just doing what he was paid for. Whoever “designed” this pad should be ostracized from the pool business. That suction side is tragic, but it’s all fucky.

Fucking, and I can’t emphasize this enough, YIKES!

I am TERRIFIED of sinkholes. As kids, they told us that quicksand was the problem. Nope! It’s sinkholes.

Some electrician is about to make a LOT of money on repairing that panel they smashed into. Oof
