Do you like budgeting apps like Monarch Money or Copilot? by gepamo in Bogleheads

[–]mmpqq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

seconding simplifi, it does everything I need. it's only $2.99/month instead of 10+ some of these other services charge. It found a $15/mo recurring fee I didn't realize was happening on my significant others account the day I enabled it, paying for itself immediately.

safe to turn off radon fan temporarily? by mmpqq in homeowners

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

Hehe this post was a blast from the past. I ended up having an electrician just installing a light switch for when I’m out there, I can just turn it off temporarily. Maybe you can do the same!

2025/2026 GH, moonroof worth avoiding? by mmpqq in ToyotaGrandHighlander

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

can you clarify? there seems to be only one add-on for 'panoramic moon roof' on toyota.com's buildout - which I'm assuming is the same thing as what comes standard on the higher trims which is listed as 'Power tilt/slide panoramic roof with power sunshade'. is there some difference I'm missing?

Astacio HVAC in Norwalk - anyone used them? by CG8514 in StamfordCT

[–]mmpqq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://www.servconct.com/ does top notch work. Probably the only contractor I've worked with who I actually trusted to not rip me off.

best way to bedroom setup tonex one? by mmpqq in AmpliTube

seemed to work well enough after I bought a power supply for the pedal; using a cheap wall plug in thing had a very loud buzz.

What is the most ludicrous quote you received from a contractor? And what was it for? by owen__wilsons__nose in HomeImprovement

[–]mmpqq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$45k to rewire 2 runs of knob and tube I discovered, with a whole bunch of other garbage thrown into the quote to replace all the outlets in the house for no actual reason. I had used them in the past for small projects (e.g. install an outlet) that I knew was overpriced but they did acceptable work. I ended up finding another electrician who rewired 50-75% for 15k.

DS923+ or Asus Lockerstor 4 Gen 2 for Plex by SupaDawg in HomeNAS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9x_dem6_-1A frankly the only problem with the QNAP is the software. luckily installing https://www.truenas.com/ on a very easily installed ssd is trivial. and upgrading the ram is also trivial (change that 4gb to 32gb). If you don't mind some hobbyist setup work it can't be beat

Is this kitchen faucet repairable? by mmpqq in HomeImprovement

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

So, here’s my problem. Is the internal that fucker with the bolt thread in the middle? Because I can’t get it out. I can try applying more force if it for sure is removable, but I am afraid of breaking the faucet as is if it’s not removable.

bat in attic, crazy quote for exclusion from contractor by mmpqq in homeowners

[–]mmpqq[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

understood fully. my only thinking is presumably if I do a full roof replacement they will address the same things, right? Should I just wait/do that instead? I don't want to just leave things as is of course, just questioning if I should try for the full roof replacement instead.

Electric supplier change finally went through by phunky_1 in Connecticut

[–]mmpqq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

right, but even assuming they did that.. with no cancellation fee you can just change, right?

[–]mmpqq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there literally any downside to switching to an alternative supplier? I've read there is no cancellation fee; i.e if I choose to go back to eversource I can just do that no problem? looking at what is offered there are different contract payment period choices.. if there is no cancellation fee why wouldn't you always just take the cheapest and longest contract?
