I paid a plumbing company $4,400 to replace a sewer line under my garage, and now my garage floor looks like it lost a fight with a sidewalk 😭
They cut a huge section out of the concrete, repaired the pipe, and patched it back in with concrete that doesn’t even remotely match the original floor.
So I asked the foreman when they planned to stain or finish it so it would blend in better…
And this man literally laughed and said:
“It’s a garage floor, buddy, not the Taj Mahal. Be glad it’s not dirt.” 💀
BE GLAD IT’S NOT DIRT??
I’m sorry, but if I’m paying thousands of dollars for a “professional” repair, I feel like the end result shouldn’t look like a random parking lot patch job.
Now I’m sitting here wondering if this just tanked the appearance — and possibly the resale value — of my garage.
Would you push back and demand they resurface the area properly, or am I overreacting?

@RyanJamesMN Fun fact:
This was the 18th time in 29 years section 3 was in the title game. And with HBCs win today, section 3 is 13-5 in those 18 games

@NSPNminnesota can we figure out how to display a game clock in your score banner for the class a games this morning? Do better

If you are surprised by the run Hills-Beaver Creek is on, don't be.
Since MN changed to a 4-class system in 1997, Section 3A has been represented in 18 of the 29 Class A Championship games, going 12-5 to-date. @RyanJamesMN @MinnesotaMillea @A_TwiceKSTP

@randrewcworth @theficouple Dear god, where are you living? 2K is a mortgage payment

@D_Gravley @AnthonyBarr I’m sorry…if the BOH can’t boil water, or some other issue, the server…that makes most of their income off tips…is penalized?
That’s the fiscal gymnastics you’re doing here…?
English

@LindseyMNSports @AnthonyBarr But the whole world knows that you don’t keep your own tips. It’s split between everyone. So therefore, yes, the amount is less. Sorry.
English

@AnthonyBarr @D_Gravley But respectfully, if i, as the server, provide incredible service but a cook overdoes your steak or the bartender messes up a cocktail, the server shouldn’t be penalized. (The restaurant SHOULD, however, comp a messed-up item.) I have to get TERRIBLE service to lower the tip.

@MNsportsline @AnthonyBarr It’s not about the price, or the amount of money spent. It’s about quality and service. No such thing as entitlement in the SERVER industry
English

@AnthonyBarr As a server in the industry it always fasicinates me to see the variation in tipping attitudes. If you can afford a $100 bottle of wine… zero reason you can’t afford to tip the extra money with it. If that 10 dollars is too much then you shouldn’t buy the expensive wine.

@reidouse Pandora’s box, playing fast in transition and early offense, teaching players to recognize and read advantages, but also teaching the recognition and execution of half court offense. Doesn’t work for all teams, but I’ve had a few and when they unlock it, magic

@Coach_Rowland_ I’m not sure the sport you’re talking about, but most coaches in this universe do NOT have a plethora of D1 players in their roster. Perhaps you need a dictionary

@GopherHole Didn’t watch this game. What was the scenario? Is this a game winner, buzzer beater? Was the game tied? Gophers up 1,2? Your question can’t be answered without more info. But then again, I’m guessing it’s rhetorical?

@pusher_pumpkin @CoachRMcDonald Your failure to realize that the “coaching” from the stands is toxic reveals your ignorance in your reply. Agree with the coach or not, he/she is the coach. Your opinion is irrelevant.
English

@CoachRMcDonald Does it make you feel smarter to rip parents on X? Don’t understand what good it does for a head coach to make fun of parents on social media🤷♂️. Positive role model🤦♂️

@chrisblantoncuh @BrianCPT @8_24Mamba4Ever And yes, the 86 Celtics. Regarded as one of the best ever by anyone that knows ball. 5 HOFers

@chrisblantoncuh @BrianCPT @8_24Mamba4Ever 12 other teams have came back from a 1-3 playoff deficit. Don’t act like it’s never been done before. Denver did it twice in one postseason. I’ll give you it’s only happened once in the finals.
Did it occur to you that Jordan’s team was the best team of his era/most eras?
