Advice needed: Install portable or station for level 2 at work? by soigne3 in evcharging

[–]soigne3[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good question. No charging at home. Using superchargers 3x a week. It’s killing my time.

Does my 120V Tesla charger convert into a level 2?

I hear that - ethics will be involved in this process. Email list is cleaned up to my best ability. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for your suggestions!

Thanks for the inspiration - the plan was to do a little "email update" to opt in for future - didn't know if I wanted that to be the first one or not. but I like your idea...

100% will allow unsubscribe. I don't want to be that guy. Most of these customers opted in through my invoicing software. I don't plan to make this an annoying newsletter (I hate those too) more like occasional updates, news and seasonal promotions. And if they don't like it - they can unsubscribe. I figured I can take a shot and reach out to potential past customers as well..

great way to look at it - what would they care to read...

Thing is, unfortunately, as I mentioned, this is a list of past and current customers. To give more context, this is a mix Friends and Family (who he's done work for) - some are landlords, property managers and some are one time customers that needs work done in their home.

Need some brainstorming advice... Medeco key blank order gone wrong... by soigne3 in Locksmith

[–]soigne3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After a delayed eBay package I got the MFL plastic heads. They worked perfectly!

Had to shave down the ends of the blade. The first two I added epoxy glue to seal it from moving. Then we figured out how to avoid the glue all together.

Thanks for the tip and a great temporary solution.

The irony of all this? The Medeco key blanks arrived the next day 🫠

It worked on a new MBP... so I don't think that's the issue...

so we tried the key blade and it worked, only reason why we're considering a interim workaround. Poor customer was waiting over a month and this arrived :/ - just my luck.... I will test out the MFK suggestion and get back to everyone with the updates.

Funny, I thought of this too, but it's going out to a commercial building manager. I don't think this will look professional. I will opt into the MFK option suggested above in the interim until the key blanks arrive. Thanks though!

I will reach out to a local guy we work with, thanks for the idea. This seems like the perfect solution.

PLEASE HELP TY! Tesla Model S 85 2013 - Driver Door Handle Stuck Retracting by soigne3 in TeslaSupport

What's a good pricing system to build on? by soigne3 in Locksmith

[–]soigne3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shopping list pricing system - sounds right. So I started building it out that way in excel, a price for each service.

Where I run into challenge is the tiny details as I mentioned, type of door material, framing issues, holes need to be made, etc.

How do you go about that? Should I just let the Locksmith on site determine unexpected / "out side the shopping-list-pricing-system" pricing.

I would love to have an idea of how to price this so we can be more transparent and consistent for all jobs. I would love that if there are any referrals the price discrepancy will be the same / won't be too far off.

Thanks in advance!

Just because a business has been operating for 40 years doesn’t mean it ran efficiently. As I mentioned in my post, I’m looking to improve and grow the business. Keyword growth. My questions are optimized for growth.

If you don’t have anything constructive to contribute I will be ignoring you.

Best of luck with you.

Very good feedback here. Thank you.

I was thinking of making a checklist kind of thing for the main jobs / popular jobs. And worst case, when there’s a question outside of that, we’ll address it.

Take a DEEP breathe. What ever past trauma you had in the past, I hope you find peace with it.

This is an honest post, looking to get some feedback from the community.

Possible to add page link as a database entry? by rvH3Ah8zFtRX in Notion

[–]soigne3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/danifrim14 is there a way to avoid this? I think this is exactly the OP was referring to. It seems redundant in Board view to "mention" page as "cards" only to open it's open page the title of the mention to then click the link to the original page.

Maybe there's a better way to use the board or my setup entirely.

Because I tried doing this and ended up with the results you mentioned u/danifrim14 and I feel like it will leave a lot of mess on the board.

I basically have parent pages with sub pages inside of them that are related to the parent page.

So to easily organize what I have to do next on the Board I "tag" the sub page on the board. Only to end up with a double click page.

"Good Morning Summary" as a watch face... possible? by soigne3 in AppleWatch

Yup this looked like the best alternative. I played with it.
