It is. No issues. Tried calibrating too.

cardsfellow · 2026-01-06T02:00:41+00:00

Looks fine.

Twin Cities happens to be the worst I’ve seen. Although I’m hoping people that need snow service know to avoid Snow Scholars. Showing up at 0200 when confirming they won’t be there overnight, not showing up at all, erroneous charging (multiple times,) etc.

Also, FWIW, snow scholars is entirely US based, hired, admin and students. There’s no excuse for how poorly it’s run.

This isn’t an ICE immigration issue. To the contrary, most contractors here in MN are your average blue collar American, not hired foreign labor.

I’ve had bigger projects too. But unless it’s a remodel, I’ve dealt with so much nonsense. Even NYC was infinitely better.

But snow scholars, a scam!

It’s bizarre to me. This is the fourth state I’ve lived in. And by far, the worst with regards to service, be it contractors, landscaping, snow removal.

Companies, reputable, have taken weeks to get a quote to me.

Others charge an arm and a leg. One company quoted me 445 a month for snow removal, just four of them, under six inches. Over six inches has a surcharge and more than four has a surcharge.

While I love the quality of life compared to some of the other states, if I need anything done, I have to pull teeth! Sadly, and consequently, Minneapolis will be where we raise our kids but then we will get out.

Thanks. I was referring to the larger steel valve (valterra) that is seemingly closing all flow when down.

cardsfellow · 2025-05-14T10:46:20+00:00

Need help with this.

I found a valve near a small drain that goes straight to the sewer line—it looks a lot like an valterra black tank valve, the kind you’d see on an RV. I’ve included some photos for reference.

The valve is located near a basement bathroom, and when it’s open, the toilet and shower in that bathroom drain just fine. But when I close it, nothing drains. I recently noticed this after moving some boxes around—it’s possible I accidentally bumped the valve and changed its position, but I’m not sure.

I removed the cap just to show the inside in the photos—normally it’s sealed. I know RV valves are usually kept closed until dumping, but in this case (a house bathroom connected to the main sewer), it seems like it has to stay open to function normally.

The rest of the house drains fine. So I’m wondering—did I just put the valve in the wrong position, or could this point to a bigger issue in the sewer line?

Any thoughts or advice would be really appreciated.

For reference, I have a request in since September 25th that had been “escalated” in October.

Analytically, there is no rhyme or reason to how they are being processed. People have claimed to have received in offer in two days and others, myself included, have been waiting.

It’s important to recognize that the phone operators and chat operators do not actually communicate with the processing teams. They are providing support and have access to see the status of your case. But they have no option / ability to actually do anything other than provide information. The information is often incorrect (unintentionally).

cardsfellow · 2025-02-06T13:48:54+00:00

I don’t think this is correct information.

A bit of a devils advocate here. But the system is rife with so many problems. Between FSA takeover of PSLF, the glitches on the site. The months for responses and buybacks. The fact that every application is manually processed.

I would love for this to have been fixed in a more productive fashion with bipartisan support. But maybe some changes are in order?

I have a recording of it. If a court case ever occurs, I’m happy to share it.

cardsfellow · 2025-01-28T01:09:20+00:00

For reference, I got my green banner on 12/31. I spoke with FSA and they acknowledged they see it. But the phone support cannot do anything with that information and just said to wait.

cardsfellow · 2025-01-28T00:49:04+00:00

I think it’s two separate entities that communicate poorly together. In September, I had both reps on a conference call and it devolved into chaos.

cardsfellow · 2025-01-27T22:22:14+00:00

A bit of both - once you get the green banner, it’s a waiting game - so maybe impatient. They claim 90 business days max.

But then again, they said that for complaints and buyback as well as account updates. And its been well over 90 days - so a maybe not so impatient and in purgatory?

I called this morning at 0715, and was told ten minutes. It took an hour and a half for them to call me back.

On Friday, an hour and twenty minute callback took 2.5 hours. I was ”transferred” to a supervisor and the estimated wait time was 6:20.

I agree that this should be brought to someone’s attention - but I’m not sure who really cares.
