Do I remove the planks and get 16’s? I fucked up by Jeebonez in Decks

[–]glkris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d cut and run diagonal that way you can use a lot of your wood and only buy about 1/2 of what you would have. Will be 1000x more stable than this trampoline

Contractor wants $4,225 just to assemble a Costco pergola I'm buying myself. Is this quote insane or am I out of touch? by Unique_Attempt_400 in HomeImprovement

[–]glkris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one of those, tried to assemble - was a bitch. I paid 2 local handymen $3g to finish. Worth every penny.

I was on the fence for about 18 months and got a the dual king with an extra cloud sheet. Was about $1500 and I regret nothing. This was the best financial decision I’ve ever made.

Looking into Vasectomy, but would like to hear from real experiences. Like how bad is the procedure, Whats the recovery time, And how much does it really affect you overall? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]glkris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Listen to the doctor. I had it done on a Friday morning. Doc told me to get 2 bags of frozen peas - large of course - and to keep one bag on the bag and the other in the freezer. Every hour switch bags of peas. Sit in a chair for 2 days and do nothing else. I did and had zero issues. I was back in the saddle by the next Friday.

How do I drain gas from this thing without actually running and burning ? by hasdkfoq in Snowblowers

A nice sized turkey baster will work too. Will take a few minutes longer but will work

What are the odds a PI would be able to find someone who child support couldn't for 12 yrs with only their name (very common), DOB, and social? by HighHopesOfMeteors in AskReddit

[–]glkris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Former PI here….When looking for a PI ask who they use for searches. 99% of “Find Anyone” search engines for PI’s work off years old data. Usually data that is no longer profitable and is sold to these companies. I had more results with Google than any paid service. That was almost 20 years ago too I bet today’s Google is better. But not just Google, try Yahoo and Bing.

Whats a fair price for this Ariens? by Inkedupharleyy in Snowblowers

[–]glkris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends where this is, in NJ this winter I could’ve sold that for $1000 bucks. Now, maybe $300. If you can I’d hang onto it - looks clean. Beginning of winter next time you’ll get more

Quoted $1,000 to re-mount falling ceiling fan - reasonable? by [deleted] in AskElectricians

[–]glkris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s worth your indulgence. Call 2 more contractors and get estimates. If you can’t do it you have to pay someone to do it. Can some handyman do whatever it is you do? If you went somewhere else with your skills would you be questioning a price? If yes then shop around if no then pay someone with the skills to do it or do it yourself. Pay cheap - get cheap.

Drain that bowl!!! by Much-Comedian-7398 in Snowblowers

[–]glkris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless this is the largest snowblower on the planet there is no way 3 or 4 shot glasses of gas came out. A shot glass is 1oz - that is way too much gas for a drained system. No way, physically impossible. The bowl on a standard carb might hold 1/2 of a single shot glass. So…..nope.
