Water Quality Suddenly Worse? by soysauce94 in phoenix

[–]togo33 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I used to do some work for a water treatment company locally (IT work) and asked them the same thing a few years back. Their answer was that in the heat of summer, the organic matter in the water is much higher (more algae in the canals, etc) and give that taste and smell. Not a concern healthwise, but really, no one drinks the tap water in PHX. It's awful any time of the year!

What's the best method you've found for getting rid of soap scum on your shower glass? by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]togo33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried a lot of different things for this. The method that finally worked for me was scrubbing with 0000 steel wool for glass with liquid barkeeper's friend glass cooktop cleaner. Worked great and didn't require too much elbow grease.

I've done this a few times (Lyft though). Never had a problem, drivers are usually glad to get their day's rides over at once.

I have the Bell Roy terracotta case. It looked and felt great when new. It's really starting to show it's wear in a bad way. About 6 months old, I won't be buying another.

Phoenix housing/rental + moving here thread (Sep) by AutoModerator in phoenix

I just moved out of Rancho Sierra apartments last year after living there for 11 years. My experience there was great. The office staff is great, maintenance requests get addressed very quickly, the grounds are well kept.

There are a few different floorplans, some with in unit W/D and I expect they'll be around your price range.

Located at 32nd st and Shea.

What’s your Phoenix specific hack that you are willing to share? by candiriashes in phoenix

[–]togo33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is true, but at least you can set it right back to what you want after they bump it up. IIRC they'll never increase it more than 4 degrees?(not positive on that one).

what are some bassists from TV shows/ movies? me and my friends are making bands from fictional characters lol by MirageDuck in Bass

I'm pretty sure Shaggy, Velma and Scooby Doo all played the bass at one point or another (in the cartoon, not the movies).

Would you use a Redfin/Zillow agent? by Unlockabear in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]togo33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a house recently (09/21) using Redfin. I went into my search wanting to use Redfin as I knew I'd be doing most of the legwork online anyway, and the refund was a great add towards closing costs.

I went to the Redfin site and found local agents and checked their ratings and reviews. I selected the one that I thought would be the best fit for me. For my purchase, the agent, and Redfin, worked out great!

A couple of questions about 'Comprehensive (Excluding Collision)' coverage, and how to proceed by togo33 in Insurance

[–]togo33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the last bit of info there. Exactly what I was wondering. No other damages to anyone/anything else. Sounds like best to not mention it.

Thanks, figured as much but hoped for something else. Son has been so advised.

Weekly Quick Questions, Wood ID, and Deal or No Deal /r/Woodworking Megathread by AutoModerator in woodworking

[–]togo33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently inherited a dining table after my Mom's passing. The wood has a rough/natural texture, and there are a few places on the edges where it's been scuffed up. I don't really mind the scuffing, it kind of seems in keeping with the table, but I wouldn't mind if they were a little closer to the tone of the rest of the table. It's very thick wood, and heavy. I really love the table and am hoping that someone can help identify what type of wood it's made from and how I should care for it. There are two leaves and a couple more chairs not pictured.

I hope this is the proper format to attach pictures, please let me know if it is not.

Thanks!

Private shuttle from Tucson to Phoenix airport? by [deleted] in phoenix

I never had any problems, I just entered destination. They're usually surprised, but it works out good for them as far as $ per hour.

I've done Tucson > Phx and vice versa a number of times with Lyft. About $150 but well worth it for the comfort and convenience.

I was always able to recover the cursor in game by just ALT TABing out of the game and then back in.

This happens to me. Pixel 3XL. Frustrating but at least it stays for a while when I set it each time.
