Home Improvement - Undoing Previous Owners "Landlord" Specials

[Russell Jaslow]

87 hours later... my 17-year old grill which, despite my best scraping and scrubbing efforts and zero effort by my prior tenants, had become more carbonized fat grit than grill, now looks like the day it rolled out of the plant. And there is a fine white powder of incinerated everything that was not steel which even now is circulating in a cloud above the city of Phoenix.

Isn't that essentially how a self cleaning oven works?

Yes, exactly.

Ouch. Let us know what the gas bill runs when you get it!

I will. It has been running at $18/mo as a baseline.

 

[dxmnkd316]

lol. An $18 gas bill in December. Christ.

And that’s going to go down 600%!

Fuck building contractors and insurance companies with a skate blade sideways. I have an adjuster accusing my contractor in print (text) of fraud and blackmail.

I just want my fucking house dried out, people. If y'all want to have a knife fight do it in a bar, not using my claim number.

Water damage in Arizona? Yeah, your contractor is exceptionally bad.

Virginia.

(We do get flash flooding in PHX though and the houses, welp, they aint built to handle it.)

Yeah, I figured.

Also, Arizona has much sand. Start bagging.

?

We don't have sand. The Sonoran is not the Sahara.

 

[St. Clown]

I’ve been there; sand was on my shoes. I didn’t say it would be a quick task.

If you were in Scottsdale that was cocaine.

Temps warmed to 20 here outside Chicagoland, so I popped my frozen Nest Hello off the wall mount and brought it inside to warm up. It's been offline since midnight the 23rd when the Polar Votex settled into the region.

Let it warm up for an hour and it came back to life. Reinstalled it, we'll see how long it lasts in the (still frozen) temps. Thr trickle charge from the doorbell transformer seems useless in zero degree temps.
