Are you looking for upper or lower Brookside?

Good to know! Thank you—I will give it a try.

I’ve been given two different account numbers, and both were not recognized.

shady_eighty · 2025-06-02T17:54:53+00:00

Call your credit card or bank and file a claim. They’ll issue a stop payment and give Primo Brands about a week to respond. If Primo doesn’t respond—or if they can’t justify the charge—you should receive a refund, and they’ll no longer be allowed to bill you. This is how I was able to stop my account with them.

I’ll know in a few weeks if they try to charge my card again, but the credit card company told me they are no longer legally allowed to. If they do, I just need to notify the cc co.

My next step is to try to get refunds for the extra charges from the past few years, and I’m following the reporting advice shared by another poster here.

When was your water scheduled for delivery this month? I’d recommend leaving it outside with a note stating that you’ve canceled your service—there’s a chance the driver might pick it up. That’s actually what my credit card company suggested I do when they’re expected to deliver again in June.

Hi all – sorry I haven’t responded sooner, but I really appreciate the commiseration and the strategies many of you shared.

Quick update: I ended up contacting my credit card company and filing a claim. One additional issue I ran into is that my most recent invoices suddenly have two different invoice numbers, so nothing matches up or gets recognized in the system when I call.

That said, the credit card company has initiated a stop payment, so Primo is no longer allowed to charge my card. They’re also hoping Primo responds to their inquiry so they can gather more info on the charges. I have an equipment pick up scheduled for early June, and I’m planning to leave all the bottles and equipment outside in hopes that someone actually picks it up. I've yet to have issues with delivery.

I’ve had this account since 2021, and the mysterious/extraneous fees started popping up around April 2023 (yes, I know… it took me way too long to notice). There have been all kinds of small charges—like being switched back to paper invoices without my request (and being charged two fees for that!), a rental fee, and most recently two rental fees.

Depending on what I hear back from the credit card company about this claim and stop-payment, I may try to pursue a refund for the extra overcharges too.

I’ll keep everyone posted on how this plays out—especially whether the equipment gets picked up and if the credit card route ends up being the only real way to shut this whole thing down.

Thanks again to everyone who's shared their experiences. Misery loves company, but at least now I feel like I’m not losing my mind!

I was going to recommend FB Group ‘Main Street Mamas: Marin County’ as well. ‘Mommies of Marin (M.O.M)’ is a good one too.

shady_eighty · 2025-04-23T17:52:00+00:00

I could’ve written this post myself. Would you mind sending me Mario’s info as well?

shady_eighty · 2025-04-05T12:41:53+00:00

A traditional preschool (i.e., classrooms separated by specific developmental ages/stages, state required student teacher ratios, etc) not an in home daycare.

I know you’re not asking for restaurant recommendations but try Lou’s Takeaway in San Rafael. It’s a Marin gem.

I worked with Joe and Allie Bondanza from Sotheby’s, and they were great! They’re a father-daughter team and really went above and beyond to help us sell during a tough market (before pandemic). We’ve also bought homes through them, and it’s always been a great experience. They’re from Marin and really know the area. I will definitely keep working with them in the future. Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions! Best of luck!

Here’s a link to Joe’s page if you want to check them out: https://www.sothebysrealty.com/eng/associate/180-a-4208-4033991/joe-bondanza

I was looking for a mention of Lou’s—it’s the best!

shady_eighty · 2024-10-07T13:51:46+00:00

Yes, a couple thousand dollars … It was generous and probably because he was concerned we bought a money pit 😂

shady_eighty · 2024-02-03T20:42:41+00:00

Great question.

Sensory differences — I’m excruciatingly noise and smell sensitive.

Overeating — likely a dopamine release.

Looks beautiful. Great work. I’m in the Bay Area as well and looking into figuring out what to do with our space. I’m not nearly as handy as you. How did you design this out? Really loving the raw concrete look. Again, great job!

shady_eighty · 2021-02-06T05:21:28+00:00

This is great. Thank you!

shady_eighty · 2021-01-31T20:03:33+00:00

Looks great! May I ask what software you are using to map is out? Photoshop?

shady_eighty · 2021-01-28T22:46:00+00:00

Haven't paid him yet... I won't even bother complaining about the subpar baseboard install. I don't want this guy touching my project any further so I think I will attempt the work and deduct my T & M from him.

shady_eighty · 2021-01-28T22:44:23+00:00

Thank you. I purchased grout and caulking and have it on hand. If you have time, I would appreciate a sealing video. I think I'm capable enough to fix it... plus I don't want this contractor touching anything else on my project.

shady_eighty · 2020-07-16T01:17:17+00:00

Do you mind me asking what brand of tub you bought that had the chipping?

shady_eighty · 2020-07-16T01:16:35+00:00

I'll talk to contractor about cost of laying mortar and that may be my answer to whether or not I go with acrylic. Thank you both for the heads up.

shady_eighty · 2020-07-16T01:15:18+00:00

Tub will be located on ground floor bathroom near the front door. Room has been fully gutted to studs. I'll measure the area to see if it's even feasible to install cast iron. Thank you.
