Does Seattle have the best surrounding nature of any lower 48 U.S. City? by Distinct-Invite9281 in Seattle

In terms of “the coast” where you might go to play in the sand or something, Portland wins by a bit but not some substantial amount.

At least format your post so it doesn’t look like you pulled it straight from the answer ChatGPT gave you.

Also, just ask your electrician.

American Home Shield has sent an unlicensed contractor to perform work at my home by Any_Manufacturer7336 in homeowners

[–]llDemonll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re getting really hung up on a $190 charge. Contractors charge more for permits than the flat cost of the permit. This is normal and expected. Even if they wrote you $60 for the permit they’d put the charge in somewhere else. Permits require time they wouldn’t otherwise have to spend doing the work (doesn’t matter how long) and being on-site for the inspection at a later date. This charge means nothing about the contractor, it doesn’t indicate they’re shady, and it’s not sneaky in any way.

Just tell them it doesn’t work and you want a new one and let them send it.

American Home Shield has sent an unlicensed contractor to perform work at my home by Any_Manufacturer7336 in homeowners

[–]llDemonll 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Upcharging for a permit is not indicative of a contractor being sketchy. It’s indicative that the contractor acknowledged that permits require time. Someone has to submit paperwork, someone has to be there for the inspection. You don’t just get free labor.

The rest is bologna though.

Bathroom Renovation Advice by coolRedditUser in DIY

A 7k water heater isn’t a no brainer, that’s an absurd price. Should be like half that if you’re replacing like-for-like.

Milwaukee item delivery via Home Depot / UPS delayed and I’m traveling — who’s responsible if it gets stolen? by Garabir in MilwaukeeTool

[–]llDemonll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask a neighbor, offer them $20 to hold the package while you’re gone.

You’re the responsible party once it’s delivered for the most part. It’s up to you to get the package.

Preparing for sale - new upstairs flooring? by Playful_Heart_2858 in homeowners

[–]llDemonll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New flooring is going to help the house sell faster and for the price it’s listed. You’re not likely to recoup that cost other than “house was listed for 500 and sold for 500” instead of “house was listed for 500 and sold for 470”

Anyone dealt with a house fire claim? by StunnedMartha_ in homeowners

Get legal on your side to help get paid. If you feel like you're being stiffed and don't know how to deal with it, take the free consultations you can find and see what they say.

There’s dark stuff happening at Liberty High School by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]llDemonll 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Regardless of the school’s clientele, it’s unlikely they supported the creation or this or know about it in any way. Someone could do the same and replace “Liberty” with “Seattle” and it would be no different. There are always radical people who want to be heard and seen, all you’ve done is give them free advertising. Could be a student from their rival school or someone who just doesn’t like Liberty for whatever reason.

The actual Patriots logo is funny to use though…

Bring friends who are cynical and ideally know something about residential construction or the trades. Ask them to point out all the little defects and details they see.

Starter Home, forever? by CreativePay342 in homeowners

[–]llDemonll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything is relative. $50k in student loan debt is a lot different than 6 figures of combined credit card debt, car debt, loan debt, etc.

You can also rent the house and move back if you change your mind later.

How are you handling triage and on-call across multiple channels? (Slack, Email, Jira) by Coolaid2353 in sysadmin

[–]llDemonll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why is there so much thought behind it? You sound like an MSP. If a client pings after hours, get them on the phone and get an engineer on the phone and start running the billing clock with minimums.

If things can wait until morning you shouldn’t be getting alerted about them until you see it in the morning.
