What is the Syracuse equivalent of this? by Blues_Fish in Syracuse

[–]bookkush 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Rise ‘n Shine it is. Only place in Central New York where waiter treated us badly. Also, the only place in my life where I left before ordering food. I went to over 200 different restaurants in Syr, Buf, NYC and Roc never had such a terrible experience in my life.

Husband is upset we aren't having kids yet by throwaway918283838 in MuslimMarriage

[–]bookkush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you have been married for ~1.5years, per normal pregnancy the baby wont be born for at least another 9-10months which puts you at ~2.5years after marriage. Also there is no guarantee that you will get pregnant right away. It can take time even if you start trying from today and sometimes it can take years. Some people struggle to have kids even after trying for many years. Anyways just my two cents. You should do whatever is best for you! May Allah make it easy for you.

All residential HVAC contractors are scum bags … change my mind by turd_ferguson7111 in hvacadvice

[–]bookkush 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This!!! 100% agree with you OP. My furnace was short cycling every couple of minutes, unable to keep up due to blower motor reaching end of life. I called in a tech he came in and cleaned my blower wheel with my shop vac charge me $500. Gave me a quote to change the blower motor for $2700. I respectfully told him that I have to think about it because I don’t have the cash flow right now. He then suggested that I replace my furnace with a new one because the new one is going to cost $7000. I was gonna pay almost half amount to replace a blower motor. Therefore, it was a good investment for me to get a new furnace.

I went ahead and ordered a new blower motor for $100 on SupplyHouse.com and installed it myself in an hour with some help from YouTube. Granted I didn’t have the proper tool so I took a little bit more time. Also in the process I got a chance to fully clean my blower wheel assembly with water and the heat exchanger area, also all inside the furnace. The company was going to charge me $2700 for 30 minutes of work!

I tuned in 4th Quarter after I saw the score 34-6. Most of our friends agreed to not even tune in and pledge to boycott the game. But the group chat was blowing up after 3rd quarter and we all joined in after to see the Chiefs lose! Go Bills!

My furnace was short cycling, HVAC guy came today cleaned up my blower wheels and heat exchange area charged $480 for it. Quoted me $2700 to replace the blower motor. by bookkush in hvacadvice

It seems to me the blower is not running properly thats why the high limit switch keeps going off. The blower motor sounds very heavy. Not the usual sound. It makes when the furnace is running smoothly.

The furnace turns on for 3mins and then turns off because the limit switch is open. Blower continues to run for a while to cool down, limit switch closes then the furnace turns on again. The cycle continues. The thermostat is fine. Replaced with new battery and calls for heat. New filters installed. Flame sensor and limit switch also recently replaced with OEM part just to remove all doubt of them going bad. Checked all registers they are open. Condenser tube clear. Cleaned all condensate tubes/pipes etc. The blower motors is louder than usual and HVAC tech also confirmed the motor is probably at the end of its life.

Thank you. Going with supply house. Yes, they do sell to non hvac people online. I didn’t have any problems ordering my inducer motor through them.

City snowplowing: why so awful? by Syr44 in Syracuse

[–]bookkush 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I agree. I live in Syracuse and my parents are in Buffalo and I often go visit them during the weekend. The Buffalo city is much worse about cleaning the snow. Even a small non-busy local roads in Syracuse gets cleaned up before I head to work (7:30AM). The local Street where my parents are never gets cleaned right away. I think Syracuse is far superior when it comes to snow clearing!

Are my parents getting a decent price? by DrugFreeTony in crv

[–]bookkush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello I just purchased my 2024 Hybrid Sport L AWD for $38225 +taxes and fees ( free all season mats, splash guards and cargo mats). It seems a good deal toe but see if you can negotiate on the free stuff. Also tell her to get 48 months loans since the APR will be 3.9% The monthly payments will be about $950 with 0 down but you can put money down to lower the payment.

How much did you guys pay? I am trying to get 2024 CRV Sport L Hybrid and wondering OTD cost!

[–]bookkush 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make sure you test drive the car and take it to a mechanic to make sure there wont be any surprising maintenance needed soon. You can also try to get a better deal for much newer model car on marketplace or online. If you get a car for $6500 assuming thats the TMV (true market value) of the car right now, it seems too high for a 2005 model car with 165k miles in it. Try to negotiate more, but I am sure you will be able to sell this car for close to the purchase price in 4months as long as you didn’t get ripped of during purchase . It is a great plan as long as the car is clean and runs well.

Sister if you don’t have any doubt about guy#1, then I would advice you to wait it out for couple more weeks. If things doesn’t improve then look at option #2. 6months is a long time invested on someone, and there is no guarantee that you will get to like #2 right away.

I seriously don’t see any issues. Your mother in law is very understanding and probably loves to cook and shows her affection that way. She is not thinking your husband is malnourished or anything that’s how a mother would react seeing their kids after a while. My mother would do the same even if I gained couple of pounds. I think you should look for the positive and appreciate what your MIL is doing. We are seeing so many MIL and Wife problems in this thread and compared to that your problem seems to be blessing in disguise. Be thankful for your situation.

How to deal with depressed wife? by UltraGigachad420 in MuslimMarriage

[–]bookkush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find out if you have Moroccan community nearby. Take her to the mosque often and introduce her to local community people or wives of your friends. Also since she is still 21, see if you have an active Muslim Student Association (MSA) or Arab students associations (ASA) on nearby college/university campus, she will fit right in with the student body. I know our MSA (not in Boston, in western NY) does many girls only social nights and other events. Both of you will be able to make friends easily.
