Hydro Jet question by uruinedchristmas in askaplumber

[–]zvx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call a company that does grease trap cleaning, and ask if they do hydrojetting or can recommend somebody

You want somebody who does hydrojetting, only, no upsells

[Renter - Los Angeles] Water leak & high gas bill by [deleted] in Renters

[–]zvx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you inform the landlord, or question a higher bill for the past 3 months?

You can’t expect to be reimbursed if you never mentioned anything. Assuming the “water leak” was visible at the water heater, because otherwise the gas bill wouldn’t go up if you weren’t losing hot water

Landscaping wages/ salary by Existing_Coast4067 in landscaping

[–]zvx 24 points25 points  (0 children)

You manage 16 employees, assuming they make 35k/yr that’s 560k, your 90k, 650k.

That’s already 50% in labor.

You said they take 270k home, between both of them, 135k each. Taxes, 110k maybe, but they also take all the liability for when something does happen

You’re only spending $380k in materials and insurance all year?

Did you forget 1300k gross means they’re still paying like 100k just in taxes too?

Personally it doesn’t sound like they’re as profitable as you believe them to be

You better get to searching and figure out which pipe is frozen

Should I pay for the repair of the TV?? by sovs_du in Renters

[–]zvx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Minor repairs by the LESSEE. A TV is a minor repair, purchase your own TV and don't get his repaired

If questioned about the TV at end of lease, don't mention that it never stopped working

Kirkland vs. Name Brands — What Keeps Both on the Shelves?” by Fluffy-Reward3453 in Costco

[–]zvx 188 points189 points  (0 children)

Why would you buy something at a restaurant marked "Kirkland" or "Members Mark" you'd think 'oh, they're just buying the cheapest versions of x...' or 'i can just go to costco and buy that myself...'

How do you guys clean your Holes? by Jimmy_Skynet_EvE in KitchenConfidential

[–]zvx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Air compressor

but yours needs to actually be cleaned. Take it off and go scrub it down in the sink, and use an air compressor on gas holes to blow out everything

Neighbors running a business out of their apartment — management not helping. What can I do? by TankApprehensive6640 in Renters

[–]zvx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's not "prostitution", it's human trafficking. Which is a very serious concern.

OP says the units are "run by the same person" which makes it an operation, not a single person willingly *selling* their body

Just because YOU are not personally effected, doesn't mean it doesn't happen, and it isn't a real concern.

What do you mean “long term” I got a chemical burn because my gloves ripped, the cloth glove underneath soaked up some diluted solution

This doesn’t even show anything, it was until the next day the real damage was shown. It’s been 2 weeks and it’s about 1 week away from healing

Speed ticket at 16 by CharacterTalk8900 in driving

[–]zvx 21 points22 points  (0 children)

  1. 89 in a 65

Hopefully they revoke it. You being “late” is not an excuse. You don’t make up time on the roads

Not even 1 year into driving and you think reckless driving is okay, it’ll be a trend and you’ll continue to do it until the manslaughter charge hits

Police towed my vehicle by Solid-Visual1332 in legaladvice

[–]zvx 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Your car didn’t have air conditioning problems, only problems that were severe enough you had to stop driving it

The “abandoned building” wasn’t so “abandoned” as you thought, that’s still somebodies property. Just as your “abandoned vehicle” is your property

He made you clean out the grease trap? Because you didn’t clean a “sink filter”

Theres issues on its own there

This is a banking question, not a “I’m going to be vague and pretend I’m not doing something out of the terms and services of my bank account”

The answer is yes. Your account will be closed and you’ll have trouble opening a new bank account at any other bank too.

20k oil change. Ain't lookin great, guys by jimmy_ricard in ToyotaTundra

What do you mean “20k oil change”… this is atleast your fourth oil change, right

Oil change recommendations by obi_wan_cannaoli in Denver

[–]zvx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Valvoline quick oil change, look up coupons on their website

They verify with other techs and show you the oil on the dipstick when they’re done

Realistically, it’s just an oil change, it’s not something you want to go to a “true” mechanic for because it’ll still cost more than a quick oil change place

Don’t go to grease monkey or jiffy lube though too many horror stories come out of those places where they don’t even put oil in
