Clay White Storage Unit Overhead Doors
7 January 2025 | 2 replies
It's a fairly unregulated space (charging grandma $750 to puts around for 3 hours, after moving the old box from the horizontal sensor, which was the only problem with the garage door to begin with), so some combination of carefully reading reviews (you have to actually read them to make sure it's not 200 fake reviews), and maybe not giving them the full contract all at once, is in order.

I don't like them because a) they make lousy coffee  b) the pods are wasteful (I know you can buy reusable pods but imagine how often they get accidentally thrown away) c) they are notoriously difficult to keep clean.

20 November 2024 | 23 replies
