Just a regular spigot timer for now. I'm just running a gilmour pulsating sprinkler to cover a small yard. ...

Thermal Binoculars Recommendations

Posted by bmela12 on 11/7/23 at 12:01 pm
Looking for recommendations for thermal binoculars with a budget of $200. Gift for someone who camps a lot and just wants to peek into the woods and watch the raccoons and armadillos play. I'm a bit green on thermal vs night vision. So if night vision is more appropriate, give me those suggestio...

Got the car back today. Good experience and (so far) good work. They communicated regularly about the progress. I would recommend. ...

Any recommendations for a truck vault/safe? Not sold on under seat vs center console, so open to suggestions....

Wife's car is currently at Bobby's on Pinhook. Same exact scenario. Dropped off yesterday and they've already called this AM with an update. Farm Bureau adjuster said they work with them a lot and are good. If you wait a week (I hope), I can give you a full review....

WTB Lot 412 RV Pass for 11/11 FL Game

Looking to purchase a RV pass for the LSU vs FL game on 11/11. Lot 412 or any reasonably priced pass in Touchdown Village....
Any idea if there is supplier that I could bring the belt to in south La (Lafayette to New Orleans)? The belt store in Port Allen was more a lawn mower belt store. Great guy, just not set up for garage door belts....
Thanks for the advice everyone. Called the belt center in Port Allen and unfortunately, he couldn't find the crossover. With that said, what he found was on EBay for $80, so I may go that route. Better to risk $80 on the belt than to buy a whole new unit....

Need Garage Door Belt Replacement Advice

Posted by bmela12 on 9/7/23 at 10:23 am
I have a Overhead Door Company (ODCo) opener, model Legacy 696cd/b. The belt (not chain) needs to be replaced and when I contacted ODCo they said that the belt was discontinued and there was no replacement. The opener works fine and I would really hate to have to replace the whole unit just ...
Thanks for the good info everyone!...
One more thing to add. It has been a while since I have stayed inpatient, but if you are in the main building (I believe elevator F) inpatient unit, the top floor sitting area has an awesome view at night. Great place for yourself and mom to get out of the room. The view, if I remember correctly, is...
Not to be too harsh, but getting OUT of the hospital as a patient is priority. If you have to sleep with a mask on to make sure there are no setbacks, then that’s what ya gotta do man. It’s a hospital, not a hotel. Do what’s best for the patient. Trust me, no one wants to be there and especially...
I only applied to one bank to start. Not fixed and rate was 10.25% with the option to lock in for $ and reduced rate for different terms. $10k max at 10.25% just doesn’t work. I can go get a $10k personal loan at a fixed 9%. ...

Is anyone offering 90% CLTV for HELOCs?

Posted by bmela12 on 7/28/23 at 8:15 am
I’m interested in opening a HELOC and my first application used an 80% combined loan to value. Because of that 80%, it wasn’t worth it. Has anyone had any experience lately with an organization that provides closer to 90% combined loan to value?...
I’ve been a patient there for many years. Did a stem cell transplant among other treatments. For my stem cell and CAR-T treatments, they were all inpatient with extended stays. I did have someone with me and they were allowed to leave. Both, I was very immunosuppressed, but they make your guests fol...
