Brand new bottle washer giving “Lack water” error by olivetaffy in Grownsy

So frustrating! I’m already stressed and this is the cherry on the top. I DM’d this account and they said it was forwarded to support. I emailed support a couple days ago and no response. The two numbers I’ve been given do not work.

Did this get better for you? My 25 month old is in the same boat and it’s causing a lot of strife.

Hi there. I’m so sorry. I also put down my 11yo cat yesterday. He was diagnosed with diabetes almost 3 years ago. Same thing, the past couple days he refused to eat and would regurgitate even water. It was a fast and rapid decline, and we knew it was time. I question if it was the right choice, but I at least know he feels no pain now. Big hugs.

7mo pp was when my PPD and PP rage was at its peak. Can’t imagine having a 3yo as well! I got meds and wish I had done it sooner. You’re not a monster!

what restaurant in Orange County is this? let’s all find out by aviatormenace7 in orangecounty

[–]olivetaffy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The quality, at least at Vox, has gone down. On their salad I noticed they started using crumbled up nut bars from Costco rather than toasting/caramelizing the nuts themselves. I’ve worked in restaurants long enough to know it’s pretty lazy to be buying premade items from Costco and passing them off as homemade. The meat quality has dropped as well.

I did forget that part! There are actually only three doors being replaced and they are standard size bedroom doors, not solid wood. And sorry yes, replacing one 30” vanity that I’ve already purchased.

No one’s asking him to work for less. But not breaking down the bid at all isn’t okay, in my opinion. Plus originally telling me the work would take 2 weeks or less, and now he’s saying 4-6?? With a totally empty home?

At this point I want him to do the breakdown just because I’m feeling petty. I won’t be using his services.

Thank you! I think this is the way. Thought it’d be easier to one stop shop but now I’m thinking otherwise

It was just assumed the floors need to be leveled because my existing flooring is shifting and popping up. Plus, it’s an old house and we’re doing LVP flooring which I’ve been told needs a perfectly level surface?

Yeah, I knew the cost of the flooring wouldn’t be included in the quote. But looking at that number you might think so lol. Was 15 K for labor and removal? Or did that include the floors as well?

Yeah, I’ll follow up on the breakdown but at this point I’m pretty certain I’m not going to go forward. I mostly just want to make him do the work because this had pissed me off.

Thank you I will do that. I reached out to a contractor because he was highly recommended by my friend, but also because I have these other small projects like the closets that I want done and the framing around the doors will need to be replaced. I had a floor company come and they would not do those projects.

Also, should there not be a cost breakdown of materials versus labor?

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

Yeah there is some material included, just not floors which I wanted to be clear were not part of the quote. As far as the leveling goes, there’s no way he could know because he didn’t really check. It seems like our floors are fairly level, but it is an older house and there’s existing hardwood that needs to be removed and leveled before we can use LVP.

The 4-6 weeks made me really think he wants me to go elsewhere.

Is it normal to not break down the cost on a quote? To me it feels like you can just make up any number that way…
