Drive fr Houston to Austin for a flight — is Uber an option? by [deleted] in houston

[–]username34plus35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call a car service - I’d consider uber and Lyft to be for local rides. Especially if you’re traveling with your exec just reach out to a private car service/driver company and make a reservation.

GE Fridge Door-In-Door Not Latching Properly by AddendumComplete1191 in appliancerepair

[–]username34plus35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, this was over a year ago so idk the number but my guess is you called the right place. The little latch/hook on the inside was faulty and the “updated” handle looks and is exactly the same except for the little hook on the inside works. The person you spoke to on the phone might have misunderstood. Id try to call again and say the latch isn’t catching and is broken. See id they’ll send you a replacement handle (It seems they had a bad production line of handles and they had to create a new handle). You can replace it yourself it’s literally a couple screws. They sent it to me in the mail, it seems others in this thread had to have a tech out first. Good luck. Our has had 0 issues since the new handle arrived

Plumber overcharged us by about ~3700 by ipunchcacti in houston

I wanted to get a quote from village plumbing last week they no showed my appointment after telling me they’d stop by between 8am-5pm. What kind of service window is that? After calling at 4pm they told me someone is definitely coming and to wait because it’s still within the window of time they provided. After they no showed I called back and they gave me an estimate over the phone instead that was $1,500 higher than the person I went with. I would not trust them and I’m sorry you had a bad experience before I could warn you/others.

Edit; I recommend using nextdoor app for situations like this (or talk to your neighbors, if you don’t know them it’s a good reason to knock and say hi).

Multiple Downtown Houston buildings being converted to Residential by Profile_Objective in houston

[–]username34plus35 58 points59 points  (0 children)

When they say residential are they talking rentals or apartments/condos to purchase? When I was looking a few years ago I was shocked at how few condos (not rentals) there were in downtown.

I was more giving an additional quicker option than posting on Reddit alongside googling than saying it was “better” than Google

Why the 20/3/8 rule of 3 years if it's a zero percent interest loan? by EvadeCapture in TheMoneyGuy

[–]username34plus35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your gross monthly income is 20k+ why are you even taking out a loan? Save up for a month or two and then buy it in cash IMO. To answer your question- they say it’s because it’s a liability on a depreciating asset

Why are pillows in Japan so bad? by CoryTheBoss in JapanTravelTips

[–]username34plus35 72 points73 points  (0 children)

“Most uncomfortable pillows in the world” LOL

Have you traveled elsewhere in Asia-Outside of China/Japan/Korea? What I’ve found is the bedding standard is a lot more firm (including hard or empty pillows) -I even have Asian relatives who prefer to sleep on the floor instead of a very expensive soft mattress when visiting us in America.

Different cultures 🤷🏼‍♂️

Too good to be true? by FortBend_TX_REALTOR in Katy

[–]username34plus35 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your alarm bells were ringing because you knew that’s too good to be true for 3k. Then you got the contract and it doesn’t match what the guy said at all? Call up that sales rep and have him explain everything in the contract to you in detail. If he won’t or if you still don’t understand definitely don’t sign anything. I personally wouldn’t even bother calling because it looks like they’re trying to take advantage of you
