New Sump Pump At 2AM Monday Thread

hey Rob
 
Heading to Menards tomorrow evening. (It’s Sunday night in my world right now.)

Not sure if I’m upgrading generators and getting a backup sump pump with a car battery attachment. Or just upgrading generators. (The Car battery I’d need to keep up on charging. And I smoke a lot of weed...)

kinda thinking a back up regular sump pump and generator upgrade makes sense.

Looks like I’ll be dropping some more money on a back up, too. This is what I get for finishing the basement. Could have had an indoor fishing pond if I had just been patient.

Basically I bought a new bike and when it arrived I took it to a bike shop I once had a bad experience with. I took it there because I just wanted a pro to make sure I assembled it right and this guy is closest - my first mistake since I already had one bad dealing with him a couple of years ago.

Anyways this guy is a fat little smarmy shit head and I should have known better but I’m dumb so I don’t. I kindly ask him if he can just look the bike over for me. He says “Problem is yadda yadda yadda...” he needs to give it his personal 85 point inspection before doing anything else and that will cost me $100. Just to look at the bike before doing anything to it. I say “can’t you just do what I want you to do?” and he tilts his fat little head back, smirks and says “No.”

So I say “You’re so difficult. You’re such a fucking idiot, I brought my kid’s bike to you too and you didn’t do shit for me then either. I don’t know how the fuck you’re still in business. This is why the guy in the town over is kicking your ass.”

This is how I talk to people in real life. Just like on a message board.

Anyways I take to the guy in the next town and dude gives it a free inspection. Confirms I’m an idiot and re-assembles it for me for free. I buy new grips, new seat, helmet for my son and put a $450 bike on layaway for my daughter I’m grabbing this weekend. Guy could not have been nicer.

Will definitely be drinking many beers in the parking lot when fat, rude, bald manlet shit head goes out of business.

That was me last spring.

I’d finished off trim in the bathroom just a couple weeks before.

What are you thinkin for a backup? Just another one? Cuz my dad is pushing hard for me to go backup, in place, off a battery.

He’s not a stoner though. So he doesn’t even get my hang ups.

Thank god for water censors. Could have been a lot worse. I did think my house was on fire and almost shit myself though.

The guy told me what to get but I’m way too tired to listen let alone remember. I think I wrote down though. Whatever he suggested he says it will solve the issue permanently for like $1500. I want to say he said no battery but I’m not positive.
 
An indoor fishing pond would be sweet af.

There’s some sort of internal drainage system this guy I know is doing. But I wasn’t looking to do it cuz it was slightly more than what you’re quoting. And he can be like your first bike guy sometimes.

It’s a stupid fucking way to make money long term. I don’t get it.

Based on just the cost of the parts, I feel like I’m getting a good deal. But it’s also 4am and I’m delirious so who knows.
