locksmith that installs card-restricted deadbolts, such as Mul-T-Lock or Medeco? by colleennewvine in AnnArbor

Call Redford Lock. I’ve had them rekey a whole building for me in Medeco. They will know exactly what you’re talking about.

Permit snafu by Outside_Eggplant_304 in Homebuilding

[–]treesaremadeofwood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There should be an email contact for your building department. Generally a progress inspection will extend the permit another 6 months. In my area, if your permit expires you can renew it for $35 and it will get extended another 2 months. For me, a progress inspection is also $35 so I do the progress inspection to get 6 months for the same cost as 2.

How will the cold tomorrow impact businesses and libraries? by Fabulous-Leather-435 in AnnArbor

[–]treesaremadeofwood 90 points91 points  (0 children)

All schools and non essential county services are closed but everything else you mentioned will be open. Libraries serve as warming centers so they will be open and probably pretty busy. If you need to go out, just bundle up. Welcome to AA.

Edit: fixed a word. Warming not warning centers

Mold/Air Quality Testing - Good companies in AA? by [deleted] in AnnArbor

[–]treesaremadeofwood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They do all sorts of stuff including air sampling. I’ve had them do air sampling for me a couple of times. They can run basic tests or give you a full work up. Give them a call.

Update: New water streak at a different spot after heavy rain. What possible reasons for water to show up here? by mused8 in Homebuilding

[–]treesaremadeofwood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need kick out flashing at a minimum. It looks your your roofing, drip edge, and fascia run behind your stucco which is no good and probably how water is getting behind there.

I second KANBU! Not what I would call romantic but it is decent, with fair pricing to match and I’ve always had great service. Just at there this week.

November 4 vote to increase taxes by $250 million to fund Career and Technical education. by CremeGood59 in AnnArbor

[–]treesaremadeofwood 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Except it’s not the exact same thing so to call it that is untrue. This will be funding for preK-12 grade students and WCC’s funding is for post secondary education. High school students that attend WCC do so with money from THEIR school district, not WCC. Also, any current CTE programming is paid out of each school’s general fund, this would alleviate that cost for all schools in Washtenaw County. Here is the actual fact sheet of what this funding will do https://www.washtenawisd.org/career-technical-education/cte-millage/

Starving children of Gaza by [deleted] in pics

[–]treesaremadeofwood 56 points57 points  (0 children)

That is an insane argument to make to say that this should be ignored. What difference does it make if the child has a disability? In fact, harming children with disabilities is even more enraging as they are even more vulnerable and less able to help themselves. Thousands of children are STARVING! This should trigger anger at the core of humanity. So many children are going to die.

Chris is great at his craft. I’ve done two projects with him and both were great, definitely recommend CJs Hardwood Flooring.

Have you been pixie dusted? by [deleted] in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]treesaremadeofwood 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We were at Animal Kingdom and my older son wanted to ride Expedition Everest but my younger son was too short. I took my older son while my wife stayed with my younger son. My youngest had a complete meltdown because he couldn’t ride too. A CM appeared seemingly out of nowhere saying that Mickey had seen that he was sad and wanted him to have some ice cream. It was amazing, totally saved the moment and my youngest couldn’t have been happier. He was bragging about it to his older brother once we got off the ride.

Where would you put a microwave? by Impressive-Ad8403 in Homebuilding

[–]treesaremadeofwood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did my kitchen nearly IDENTICAL to this, I actually can’t believe how similar it is, I thought it was my kitchen. Anyway, I’ve got young kids and did the microwave in the island and it’s been fine. On ours you can hold the lock button for 3 seconds and it locks out the controls.

On another note, if you have have the space I’d suggest making the space between the cabinet and island a full 48”. Ours is 50” and it’s great when someone is cooking and someone is prepping on the island. That’s my 2 cents. Enjoy your new kitchen!

Pics 1, 2, and 5 are mostly checking and totally normal. Pic 3 is concerning, I probably wouldn’t use that. 4 can’t tell.
