They don't call them stealerships for nothing...

I can't blame them though. I never sell cheap at work. All my bids are high and negotiated lower. Being the bottom feeder selling volume is for suckers. Had a guy today tell me he was giving me a job before I quoted it. Big mistake. Now it costs 20k more since I know I'm getting it and have no competition that will low ball me...LOL.

 

Working on an electrical problem at work. I agree with you guys Wiremold sucks. Three fixtures run off of one switch and one fixture does not work. I thought all I had was a burnt out bulb, bulb was broken off, problem. Removed the exterior fixture and the connections looked fine. I did not have a voltmeter with me so I need to return. There is a Wiremold circular junction box and I hope the connections are behind the first Wiremold plate.

Freaking box could not just be one big box, no it has to have a plate covering the wire connections with just the wires feeding the fixture at that box exposed. I am hoping the wire nuts for the wires feeding the other two connections are behind the plate.

 

Yup, I checked Didn't get it there - went to advance auto.

I know they are in business to make $$ but dang that's high.

Good luck getting it fixed.

 

Hello Susan.

Kristi found the kitchen faucet she liked. It's pretty close to the one we had; we both lean towards keeping things simple. Haven't heard the verdict on the water softener idea...need to ask about that. I'll put the faucet in Friday. Holiday lined up with 3 day break...off Fri night 'til Tue night.

 

And buddy I loaned money to is now MIA. Go figure.

 

Amazing how often it goes that direction.

 

My gut feeling was to say no. Moral of the story is listen to the gut...its typically right.

Guess I'm better off finding out his true colors sooner then later.

Prick won't even pick up the phone or reply to a text. Least give me some bs lie.

Lives in my town so going to stop by tomorrow so he can hide inside and not answer.

 

Not funny.

 

I don't loan anyone cash anymore for that reason. Last time I loaned someone money was my brother so he and his wife could make it to my wedding in Hawaii. We know how well that worked out for me...



Then he asked if we could help him out with some gas money on his way out to Kansas for our reception. I said no, I don't have any (hello, wedding and reception??), he all of a sudden "had to work because someone quit again."

 

Yikes... I guess I'm lucky he's not in the family. We would of been rolling around on the ground next time I saw him the way my brother and I are.

Kicking a guy when he's down = not cool

This actually bothers me. Not the money. Just the lack of respect for a "friend" trying to help someone in need. Even if I was made of money I would be pissed off, but I'm not so a couple hundred hurts even worse.

Would of rather just donated it to a good cause and not known the guy was a flake.

 

I don't talk to him anymore. And I wasn't then either, but I thought he was turning around. His latest "apology" was a pat on my back and he said "I'm sorry bro."

My reaction was simply "oh, cool. What for?" No answer after that.

 

LOL... writing off family sucks. Ive written off half of mine for being repetitive scumbags. Luckily I'm all good with my siblings...the others I care little about at this point in my life.

 

so which one did you guys get?

hi Weesa How's your day?

I always hate hearing when siblings don't talk... I'd love to be able to talk to my sis again

 

I don't have a problem with this at all

 

Glad to see everyone has family issues too lol

 

Woot! Lol
