>Unless you are using an unlicensed contractor

No, he is licensed and has a fairly high rating on Google, but we all know online ratings can be manipulated. This is why I am asking here and on the /r/SeattleWA subreddit, word of mouth trumps (possibly) fake reviews any day.

I do know that life happens, and his excuse is that he is going through a divorce, but it’s pretty clear that he’s on meth, and the two may not be mutually exclusive. The other day he left his laborer here to go get his “lights” to work in the dark, after showing up at 8PM after promising me he’s be here at noon the latest. He showed back up with a single drop light, and I have a drop light and massive construction flood lamps, but he didn’t bother to ask. He then left again to get ‘his tools’ to do the work he determined needed to be done, and it turned out those tools consisted of a single reciprocating saw, something I also have. Absurd. Not only did he not ask if I had that stuff, but this guy shows up at a job site with no tools to do everything that potentially needs to get done? That’s just crazy. That was just before his no-call no-show two days later.

I’ll make a separate review here when the job is done, but I’m not even sure yet that I’m going to have him finish the job. I know he’ll probably be cheapest, and he does know his sh*t, but I really think it’s his own sh*t that he needs to get together himself.

WOW!!
Sounds like you should report them to L&I or OSHA.
Unless you are using an unlicensed contractor…..Monies saved = larger headaches.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding angelescrest, but isn’t the third lane from the left (eastbound) open for half of the length of the bridge, before it becomes the bus lane? I don’t understand why people who use that open lane are called cheaters. They aren’t cheating, they are using an open lane. As I’ve seen, its usually people merging from Delridge or onto the 99 onramp). I’m not talking about stopping in the lane when it suddenly becomes restricted, that’s not ok, but why is it cheating to drive in an open, legal, lane?

For the past 12 years I have bike-commuted from the Admiral area to SouthPark on the bike paths along Harbor Ave and West Marginal Way and have seen dozens of rabbits daily, mostly in the AM hours (5:30-6:00ish).
Sadly 4 of them have died when they ran directly into my path.
As you know, rabbits don’t run in a straight-line to evade their predators, instead they zig-zag unpredictably utilizing their quickness and agility to help keep from getting captured.
One rainy morning one was trying to ‘get away from me’ when all-of-a-sudden it turned into my path so I swerved to avoid it, lost traction and slid straight into a tree, one of its lower branches striking me in the lower chest which broke under my weight and momentum fracturing a rib and leaving about a 10″ scrape across my torso that just barely broke the skin.
At that point I had to make a tough decision to NOT try to avoid them in the future as they aren’t responsible for my welfare, won’t come to my assistance if I have a crash while trying to avoid it, and won’t pay my bills if I get hurt bad enough and can’t work.
Each time it broke my heart and made me cry that I killed on of God’s creatures. Each time I removed its body from the trail, placed it in the growth nearby and said a prayer for it.
During these years I have noticed their numbers have greatly increased, and like so many here, am seeing them in our neighborhoods with greater frequency.
Now when I’m approaching one I will growl loudly with the hopes of driving it away sooner and with more urgency of wanting to avoid me.

I absolutely voted but I mailed my ballot on the day of the election, so it probably won’t be counted for a while. Hopefully enough others did the same that we will see a larger percentage of folks voting. It’s SO important, especially now!

Hi Everyone, I need your help!

I desperately need to replace a septic guy who never shows up when he promises he will, drinks beer while he and his partner work (which is never more than 45 minutes at a time), parks his truck on the lawn, puts out cigarettes on the patio, and always wants cash on the spot. He’s left the job half done, and he was a no-call no-show today. Our tank is about to overflow again, and it’s already been pumped 3 times in the past couple of weeks.

I’m also looking for recommended deck builders. I have a bid from someone suggested here in an older thread, and I hoping to get a couple more bids.

Thanks so much!

jo: the voters’ pamphlet is always entertaining. and it’s free*!

* provided that you’re registered to vote, or can and want to get to a public library.

seaopgal: so, whose rally was claiming that the other guys are fascists? you know, where you and the illustrious mr. tsimerman crossed paths.

’cause everybody is claiming the other guys are fascists. even the actual fascists are doing it.

I think there has been a shift in traffic patterns since Lander closed to build the overpass. My working theory is that the disruption is primarily due to Port of Seattle trucks, who no longer have their usual routes/shortcuts with the Lander closure, and are reworking their approach to mobility in the area. Seems like there have been more trucks coming up to the Spokane Street Viaduct right before the exit to First Ave S., which creates a lot of the bottlenecks each morning over the high rise.
It also seems like people are naturally slowing down heading on the rise of the bridge Eastbound due to that big shiny thing in the sky, as once you hit the crest it tends to open up as you head downward. Your mileage may vary.

I think it’s just people, but I don’t know. To get to UW by 9:30, I’m leaving at 7:30–because everything just gets worse as 9:00 a.m. approaches. I did notice that many of the trucks from the docks either wait until they’re over 4th, or have trouble moving into the left/I5 northbound lane, and that slows everything down. And every day, there are cheaters, who are darting in the bus lane, cutting into long-waiting lines, etc.

[wsn00b]

I see lots of people merging in late or after the double-white line at the east-end of the Spokane Street Luxury Pothole Collection err…Viaduct. That could cause more congestion than is proportional to our population/driver growth.

I old lab caught a rabbit in our backyard. He was very proud of himself and was preparing to have a light snack of hasenpffer. Alas, I had to take it away because I didn’t want to wash gut off my deck. I was pretty impressed, though! He’s 11 and was fast enough to catch a rabbit?! He had the biggest smile I’ve ever seen. He probbly would’ve shared with me, too, because I’m his best friend next to my daughter.

I know this has been asked, answered, and argued many times before but here I go. Does it seem like traffic on the bridge is worse than usual, surprisingly so? It’s at all hours of the day and both lanes Eastbound. I go up to Spokane/Columbian Way all the time and that right lane that used to clear up after 1st Ave exist is backed up to I-5 even at 9 or 10am. Just in general the number of cars on the bridge throughout the morning that direction seems far larger and we don’t even have school on now. What will happen in a month? I know we have more people in W. Seattle now, obviously, but has something else changed?

so i just read the king county voters’ pamphlet for the primary election on 8/7/18. yeah, i do that. i like to see who’s who before i vote, so i can call myself an informed voter. i even read the fine print for the initiatives!

anyway, did you know that there are 28 challengers for washington’s US senate seat? so, obviously, that doesn’t include maria cantwell (D-WA), who has won reelection twice since 2000. 29 choices! we should revel in our diversity, right?

love her or hate her, cantwell’s challengers are a colorful field, and among them is goodspaceguy, the perennial cascadia wannabe politician – who, ironically, claims to hate politics and politicians.

the guy who stands out, though – hands down! – is alex tsimerman (Prefers StandUpAmerica Party. because who doesn’t like being stood up? amirite?) he’s on page 19 of the king county voters’ pamphlet. he also (allegedly) has a web site at alexforamerica.com.

and what a refreshingly honest guy! from his statement in the voters’ pamphlet:

Are we better now than a few years ago? Stop Seattle fascism with idiotic face!

man, anybody who has enough honesty, humility, and sheer guts to admit that he has an idiotic face right there in the voters’ pamphlet gets my vote.

redblack out.

My husband, son and I went here for the first time last night and it was great!! Service was excellent, food was good (burger, fries, shake, pizza) and the space was so accomodating. They even turned one of the tvs to a kid show for our son – it was super considerate (there was no volume so we got to imagine what they were saying nad other patrons didn’t have to listen to the dinosaur show).

We will be back!

[Elizagrace]

Our neighbor spends a ton of time maintaining the end of our street with painted arrows to mark a speed bump and a reference on the bump that it is a private road (don’t debate or beat me up about it please, there is even a city street sign that says as much).

Twice now someone has come through and spray painted in black over the word “Private”. This really pisses me off. Stop vandalizing the road. Stop making him repaint, stop making it look gross and messy with your haphazard spray painting. It is just rude.

It also does not change the fact that the road is private, that the homeowners property line goes to the center of the road, that we paid to have it paved, that we pay to maintain it and seal it annually. Spraying over the word changes none of that it just makes someone do more work.

This lovely oak bed frame was purchased at Village Woodworks in West Seattle 20 years ago and is still intact, structurally sound, with all the hardware. The only issue is cosmetic — see photos — that’s 20 years of cats and dogs thinking that jumping onto and off of the bed is the best fun ever. Even after 20 years though, it’s not too bad and probably a perfect project for someone who wants to learn some light woodworking.

The detailing on this bed is just right — enough for visual interest, but not so many nooks and crannies that it’s hard to clean. It’s been in a non-smoking home, and we’ll be breaking it down for easy transport.

Dimensions:
– Headboard Width, top outer edge to top outer edge: 66″
– Headboard Height, floor to top: 49″
– Baseboard Height, floor to top: 29″
– Length: 88″
– Clearance under bed: 7″
– 5 struts across, middle strut has post to floor for extra stability
