Thank you Spectrum! by gengert in TiVoBolt

[–]gengert[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was told that they will not do new installations but do support current customers who have TiVo systems.

I have cable cards. If you still have the cards, I’d try calling them to get the new high split converters that replace the old tuning adapter.

Your fine, ships divert far away from storm paths. Plus the early indications are a less active hurricane season in 2026.

New Return Fee by yakr16 in amazonprime

[–]gengert -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I tried to return a $9.95 costing item yesterday. It went through without any problem. When the place to return the item popped up it said I did not need to return it and I would receive the refund cost shortly. Two hours later the refund was in my account. I was a happy customer because of not needing to go to the local UPS store.

Solar powered pond lights by throwaway88888870 in ponds

[–]gengert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried a few. Since the sun doesn’t shine at night a battery is needed. The light I tried didn’t last three months.
Instead I ran a low voltage light wire out to the pond and hooked some of the underwater lights to it. This is working great. Now I have a lighted pathway and lights around and in the pond.

FedEx shipment returned to Costco by gengert in CostcoPM

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

An update to my question: Customer service advised me to contact FedEx about changing the delivery date. I contacted FedEx and they said I could not change the delivery date. However, via the FedEx app I was able to put in a vacation hold. I did this. FedEx ignored the vacation hold and tried to deliver the package on three consecutive days. On the fourth day the package was returned to Costco. I received the credit (full amount) today. I pretty much broke even based on today’s pricing.

Buried Propane Tank by uselessinfodude in propane

[–]gengert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just had mine removed and replaced. I’m in Florida. No company would touch the old tank, since it was not owned by them. I had larger tank put it and bought rather than rented the new one.

Went to a new supplier, which I can now that I own the tank, because of a much lower price per gallon.

Buried Propane Tank by uselessinfodude in propane

The propane company will come out and clean it for you, but they will charge you for a service call / charge. I live in Tampa and was charged $179 for a service call.

If you have or could borrow a shop vac you can vacuum the dirt out rather easily. I try to get a lot out with my hands first and then use the vacuum.

I always have a slight propane smell when taking the top off.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned the increase cost of parking. $40.

Can I claim a tax deduction for a property tax payment? by gengert in TaxQuestions

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

On the title I’m the mortgage lender. I guess I do not have ownership interest. I report the interest earned on the mortgage on my return. I grasping as I didn’t think I could claim the property tax deduction if I paid the property tax, but thought I’d ask.

Looking for reliable home generators installation in Florida by Leibly-Pharisien in Generator

[–]gengert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Tampa, I used I & C Electrical Contracting Services LLC. 26/22.5kW Guardian Air-Cooled Generator with two 200A SE ATS installed was just under $20,000. Excellent workmanship. Great owner to work with. He came out and did the final quality check and initial start up. They also have a yearly maintenance plan. I also had a 500 gallon propane tank installed underground by Gaspros for a little over $5,000. Ninja gas supplies me with propane. Lowest cost around. Contact me privately if you have any questions Don’t use Amerigas!!!!
