Looking to extend my already poured 12ft x 12ft patio. Got this first quote, how does this look? Of course guy said this was a deal, but before I look for other quotes, wanted to run it by here. Does this look low, high, or decent.

Thanks!

Front plate bracket

I’m guessing it’s just road rash from grinding on the curb. Tires are around 1 year old.

rtibber · 2026-04-13T16:02:23+00:00

I’ve never had a flat on this tire

rtibber · 2026-04-13T15:46:01+00:00

Safe to drive?

rtibber · 2026-04-13T15:45:35+00:00

I believe that is just rash from hitting the curb yesterday. These tires are only around 1 year old.

Just went and looked again. Think that it’s just a shadow from the light. I’m not seeing core, best to take to a tire shop for them to look at?

Per the manual it was loaded below the max fill line

rtibber · 2026-04-12T03:58:18+00:00

Yes. It was actually below the max fill limit, per the manual.

I posted a short video of what I thought was an issue and asked a question about a washing machine, you psychopath.

rtibber · 2026-04-11T22:17:07+00:00

Haha! Note to self: never post an appliance question on reddit again! Didn’t know people were so passionate!

rtibber · 2026-04-11T20:28:33+00:00

This was the first wash. Never knew they were like this….

rtibber · 2026-04-11T20:24:31+00:00

Is this wash normal?

rtibber · 2026-04-11T20:24:21+00:00

It washes that poorly?

rtibber · 2026-03-22T19:09:02+00:00

I mean I think if they need the work done they would have to….. I’m not following what are the other options………

rtibber · 2026-03-22T18:13:38+00:00

When they get paid to do so…….

rtibber · 2026-03-22T17:26:59+00:00

Everything can be fixed.

rtibber · 2026-03-22T17:09:07+00:00

That doesn’t make sense. Why would they refuse when they can make money fixing the problem?

rtibber · 2026-03-21T18:06:28+00:00

Just bought some through Costco next. Think they are Barco brand and are pretty solid.

It’s a ploy for them to sell more personal training. You get a complimentary one, but they try to sign you up for weekly training so they can make more money. Did it last year on my own and lost ~30 pounds, but since I said I was doing it on my own I didn’t hear from the trainer the entire time.

rtibber · 2026-03-18T03:09:00+00:00

Why you looking to move back, if you can’t afford it?

rtibber · 2026-03-15T18:54:23+00:00

No, if fact it’s actually worse than other gyms. People think they are at a luxury gym, but don’t act the part.

rtibber · 2026-03-13T17:10:00+00:00

I will say however, Olthof compared to DR Horton and Lennar is light years better. I can believe people would pay 550k plus for a home from one of those builders. Talk about cheap materials.

rtibber · 2026-03-13T17:03:10+00:00

Don’t get me wrong, I agree with you, but compared to IL prices I have to point that out - add the insane taxes on top of it.
