1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

oh no im saying they're a monopoly and that's why there isn't more out there. Trust me i hate the company. LAst year i was paying ~200 dollars/ month in a 875 sq ft apartment with my ex during the summer.

 

I had been using old Craftsman jackstands for years. They got stolen after I left them at the old house while getting situated into the new apartment

Now I not only need new jackstands, but a new jack as well. The old jack is resting with the lower control arms I had promised you...at the old house

 

$750 a mo for a 1600sq ft house in Chandler when I was there

 

That's likely your apartment's lack of insulation lol or other poor practices. My current gf had the same situation last summer. She made them come out 3 times to fix the A/C which actually helped.
Their prices are actually cheap tbh. I'd take SRP over APS any day.

My summer peak last year was $160 for a 1500sqft house, but I'm not a boomer who keeps the place at 68 when its 120 outside

 

fuck that man, i was even turning it to 85 when we left for work and during outings, no change. Someone mentioned our ac unit might've been too small, idk. I think it's just srp

 

ah ha, so the person who mentioned ac being inadequate was on the right track.



Well not my problem anymore, i've been plastering holes and caulking seams at the new place

 

Sheesh, you know screen doors aren't for summer right? lol

 

Oh they must have scrapped that, I always get a person pretty dang quick

 

I left that awful state, did exactly what the Colorado river is planning and left never to come back.

 

Oof

On that note, it's raining today

 

Pretty much everyone I know heats their homes with heat pumps around here. For new construction with proper insulation they are plenty sufficient. Installing one in an older home is a poor choice imo. Mine runs non stop once the temp drops past 32-35. Granted my house has no insulation in the exterior walls, but youd think that a solid brick house would be able to hold enough heat for the heat pump to shut off every now and then.

 

Going to do my final walk-through!!!!!!

On another note, the lack of a front bumper makes my tires look bigger

 

Old houses have fireplaces
Subsidize your inadequacy (TM)

 

Yeah mine does. Didnt get the chimney cleaned/inspected in time for this past winter though. Gonna do that this summer and consider a propane log setup.

 

our old house has a faux fireplace

I think it was a real one at some point though but it got filled in

 

@Sperrunner how was the first episode of Halo?

I can't run it on my computer because of ad blockers even though I disabled them.

Probably trying to frustrate me into purchasing the ad-free subscription

 

Thinking about ordering some balljoints and OTREs, balljoints are just about 2 years old I think, no idea on the tie rods.


Or find something else to spend money on

 

Before I bought this place I looked at a few two story townhomes that had real ones... was strange because they weren't even that old...maybe 70s at worst.
Tbh wouldn't have minded one, I'd have actually used it.

 

It is almost bear season, go dust is always helpful
