AI6YR Ben<p>Cmon agencies... This is not how you post emergency/wildfire info. 🙄 </p><p>"This content isn't available right now.

Western Infidels<p>My soup cookbook includes a soup recipe that lists, as an ingredient, four cans of Campbell's soup. I'm starting to suspect this isn't a terribly serious or useful cookbook.</p><p><a href="https://mefi.social/tags/soup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>soup</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/cooking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cooking</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/cookbooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cookbooks</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/gripes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gripes</span></a></p>
AI6YR Ben<p>Fine, learned how to connect a natural gas dryer (yes, outgoing technology... but, still), and checked for leaks.</p><p>(Don't trust the contractors would do it correctly, and when I asked the plumber if he connects gas appliances he started bickering with me over my distrust of the not-trustworthy contractors, so I decided to do it myself).</p><p>Will have the gas company double check things (they do that as a free service) before turning it all on again.</p><p><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/disasterremodeling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disasterremodeling</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/naturalgas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>naturalgas</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/gripes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gripes</span></a></p>
AI6YR Ben<p>Interesting on the responsiveness difference between one contractor's project manager and another.</p><p>The one that originally pulled all the wet carpet, drywall, and content out of our house after our plumbing disaster texted me back instantly (arranging a move back soon). 30 seconds later.</p><p>The project manager for the folks doing the restoration usually takes two days to reply (to text, calls... does not respond to emails).</p><p><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/gripes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gripes</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/contractors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>contractors</span></a></p>
AI6YR Ben<p>Carpet supposedly ordered (for real) this time... 7-10 day lead time, then install. This is 2.5 weeks since the last time they told me they "ordered carpet". <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/griping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>griping</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/gripes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gripes</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/contractor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>contractor</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/disasterremodeling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disasterremodeling</span></a></p>
AI6YR Ben<p>LOL. This plumber does great work, but man, does he have opinions.</p><p>"You really should get rid of this s*** in your yard"</p><p>"Yeah, I know, we JUST HAD OUR ENTIRE HOUSE FLOODED OUT and we threw a bunch of stuff out there."</p><p>"Well, I'm not like you, I am always moving and working, I would have hauled that stuff away by now."</p><p>(Left him to his own devices so I don't need to hear any more... last time he called me a "slumlord")</p><p><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/gripes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gripes</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/contractors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>contractors</span></a></p>
