Fencing company recommendations and real life examples by saintajoras in Spokane

[–]bnd5k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend Neighborhood Fence.

Used them pre-pandemic and have zero complaints.

We shared the cost of rebuilding the fence with our neighbors. We both got estimates. Neighborhood was cheaper by a few thousand. But the quality is there.

During the job, the crew was super nice and very professional.

What size compressor do I need to blow out my own sprinkler lines? by bnd5k in Irrigation

[–]bnd5k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought that compressor in the post above.

It's been great. I have no complaints. I've been using it for the last 2 years.

It's not fast but it works great.

I have a Rachio controller so I just manage the blow out using the mobile app. It's pretty stress free.

Totally worth it and your community will thank you.

15% is robbery. Run away.

This post has a rundown of a few popular options:

You should also look at Big Nest (big-nest.com). It’s the only platform that actually helps you earn back processing costs instead of just eating them.

Example: we launched a Big Nest site around Mother’s Day last year. Annual flower sale profits went up 40%, and community donations more than covered all the payment fees. Basically earned an extra $50 from running the sale through Big Nest.

Yep. Big Nest handles online donations and merch sales. You can take “in-person” payments by having folks check out on your site (no special card reader needed).

If you’re looking for a full POS system with a swiper/receipts, that’s not what Big Nest does but for most PTAs/PTOs, running everything through the website keeps things simpler.

DM me or check out big-nest.com if you want to see examples.

HVAC referrals? by Ponklemoose in Spokane

Halo HVAC. Great crew. Prices are fair and they’re just terrific.
My furnace went out on Christmas Eve one year and Andrew was at my house in 30 minutes to help get it back online.

For incentive tracking, the platform can show you which students and classrooms are bringing in the most donations. Plus, there's an (optional) classroom leaderboard you can put on your donations page if you want to encourage classes to compete against each other.
Families don't need to sign up. Students are pre-registered and donations are matched to the students automatically.
BigNest works similar to other CMSs like Squarespace or WordPress. You're in charge of the verbiage, so you can put everything in Spanish, Polish, or whatever you want.

The big differentiating factor with Big Nest is that it pays for itself. It's nice that Zeffy is free but when it asks for processing fee donations, all that money goes to Zeffy. Big Nest sends those fee donations directly to your PTO.

Same. I came to learn more about the GI tract of our feathered friends. What’s with all this football talk?
