re: Smoothie King Foam Cup Test

Posted by hugemongus on 7/9/19 at 12:40 pm to
Stopped by my local SK and was pleasantly surprised when I was handed the "eco foam" cup. We will consider this the "New Coke" moment for SK and move on.
2 Pros:

1. That cruise will be cheap now.
2. What's the chances of this happening again in the near future to this exact ship?


Who's with me?

Call the paver supply houses and ask them.

They usually have a good list of reputable installers. They'll also know who buys more material - this is (hopefully) a sign that they are good at what they do.
I use an old school fogger. You have to do it a few times a week and I usually do it before having company over. Do it right at dusk so the fog settles to the ground. Make sure you hit up your scrubs and plants real good. Oh, and don't breathe it in.

I second Ike's.

If you want to make the drive K&D is really good.
Did this recently - brick was ugly.

Painters primed with this (added color) - LINK

~2600 sqft house took about 30-35 gallons of this primer. The bricks soak it up, but you can tell its a heavy coat.

Finish coat was SW Duration - lifetime warranty.

I didn't have the deep mortar cracks so they rolled with a heavy nap. If you have deep mortar, spraying is the only way - but they can roll it back to try and get a consistent coverage on the brick face.

Get a good contractor with references. Spraying can get ugly real quick with your plants, etc.
2nd photo is doctored pretty bad - no one has legs shaped like that.

I have one, but have the same issues as others - the chip. In places that don't require a chip it works 90%+. They are promising the chip upgrade in the spring.
Maybe consider something with at least partial POE (power over Ethernet). You may want to add IP cameras, etc in the future.
SOMETIMES switching airplane mode on, waiting 15 sec, then turning it back off may help re-establish an orphaned connection to the tower. It's just too many phones for one or two towers.

Why not spend some TAF Dollars on wifi? Yes, it would require a lot of access points, but could be done.

Hell, I would even pay $5 for reliable connectivity during a 4-5 hour span.

I have used this site before LINK

They have free tech support and competitive pricing. They also offer an internet based monitoring/remote access device that works pretty good.
