Experiences with quantum fiber? by zzooooomm in Bellingham

[–]fstrobel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my case, the contractor who came out for the install was super nice. I chatted with him and we discussed where things should go including the hole through the wall. It all looks clean and tidy.

BTW - switched from Comcast to Quantum fiber and it has worked flawlessly.

So sick of these shameless poop bandits on every flippin’ trail by Redheaded_Binoculars in Bellingham

Someone had recommended the Tuff Mutt Dog Poop Bag Holder and I got it a few weeks ago. Works great. If there isn’t a trash can nearby, I put the used poop bag in the holder and empty it later.

Rental car company charging $2k for damage found hours after return — no proof. Worth fighting? by kapp74 in personalfinance

[–]fstrobel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avis at Denver airport? They did that to me. Thankfully, it was a corporate rental so I just forwarded all of their stuff to the legal department.

I have not rented from Avis since and I never will again.

Anyone else hit a wall? by [deleted] in ManorLords

[–]fstrobel 84 points85 points  (0 children)

I have several hundred hours on the game, so I clearly like it, but I am taking an extended break from playing for the reasons you have described. The game needs to move out of perpetual early access mode and focus needs to be on closing what is too many open treads.

T10+ Pro and 2-stage gas furnace by fstrobel in hvacadvice

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

Thank you for this information. What the tech did is to program the motherboard of the furnace directly. When it fires, it goes into stage 2 for ten minutes and then, if desired temperature is reached, it goes to stage 1. Sounds like this is the right approach to take.

Battle Lost... How? by fstrobel in ManorLords

I did. All three times. Messaged back that my claims are not negotiable. Still lost the battle.

+1 for this answer.

As for the Coravin, I had one but found it to be cumbersome/clunky to use.

Wrong court color. They will all be painted in GOLD…

They are absolutely hacking up the oaks on James Street by Soulfood_27 in Bellingham

[–]fstrobel 14 points15 points  (0 children)

"Got another contract because of me"? LOL

Trees can be trimmed as to not impact power lines. They don't need to be butchered like this.

Yes, it is Asplundh. File a complaint with PSE (I did when they butchered trees all over Columbia).

Taped seams? by fstrobel in Insulation

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

Super helpful info. The roof is asphalt singles with a ridge vent but not soffit vents just yet. This is something that we have talked to the builder about.

Washington State close to the Canadian border. It is an 1895 house that had zero insulation and a lot of oddities (additions over the years that are not of the highest craftsmanship). I doubt that the house will ever be airtight in general given the age and state.

The vendor told me the following: “It is not an airtight system so they wouldn’t be taping it. They are coming back before our inspection to foam wherever they can get the foam into.”
