I have seen on the web and heard from a few folks that you can rent a small pull behind unit with up to a yard of concrete already mixed in it for small jobs. I am wanting to put one of those metal buildings from Lowe's on a slab in my backyard but I don't believe a concrete truck will make it into the back yard as the fence opening is too small. Does anyone know of a place that rents these around the Memphis area? Other suggestions are welcome if you have experience with these buildings. I figure I'll have about $600 to $650 in the project if I do it this way. Thanks

Also it looks like it won't run in the background.

Yeah I saw that would be in there. I'm running the 3gs though so no flash. I want some type of audible or vibration notification. I read that "missed call" has some issues. Is this not the case?

Just got an iPhone and learned that there is STILL not an option built in to the OS to have the phone continually notify you of missed calls and/or messages. Anyone know of or have experience with an app that will do this well?

Phones are gone. thanks

I'm in Moscow. The tech told me today we are just on the edge of service. The map shows otherwise but the bars don't lie.

Well nevermind. They let me out of my contracts so I have the two blackberrys mentions above for sale now. I won't start a new thread for them just pm me if interested.

This is a shot in the dark but I have a Cellular South account with two lines ( Mine and the wife's) I am trying to get out of if anyone is in the market for cell service. It would save you the activation fees and you would get a blackberry curve and bold with otterboxes out of the deal. They want almost $600 bucks to cancel my contract. We are moving and the service is just not there at my new house. Both have the smartphone unlimited plan and runs about $145 a month after taxes and all for both lines.

I hate to revive a dead thread but I just wanted to thank everyone who gave advice. My wife and I are under contract now for a home. The termite clearance is done so pending a good inspection we will be in the house soon. We did use a "buyers agent" at no cost to us and settled with the sellers with only one counter offer. I may post up some pics after we get everything done. Thanks again for all the help and advice!

Thanks for all the great advice guys. We have pretty much decided to get a buyers agent and already have one picked out. None of the houses we are looking at are listed with her firm so I figure she may be ok. haha. As for not know squat about what I am doing; I know enough to not get taken to town and back but I agree a professional is a must.

All great advice guys! I do have a step dad that is a contractor so he could look it over. I didn't realize that about an inspector and it kind of worries me that he may not be liable for anything he misses. I guess anything can be put in a contingency (spelling?) agreement though so as long as somebody catches a potential problem I guess that's okay.

^^ But hi anyways

My wife and I have been living in a mobile home for two years since we got married so technically this won't be our first home but it is definitely a bigger purchase. Does anyone have any general advice on what to look out for structurally or cosmetically on the home? I know the inspector will check the foundation and all the big things but I want to be sure I don't miss anything and wish I didn't. General tips for the whole home buying process and/or stories are also welcome. Thanks!

I had the same kind of trouble out of my 2000 F150. I was getting the cylinders 2 and 4 or some type of error. Ended up just needing a good cleaning in some of the ports. I didn't have to buy any new parts but paid wayyyy to much for labor. I did try a new coil pack/ spark plugs/ wires at first but that wasn't the problem. You could take it to a dealer and pay $50 or so and get them to run a diagnostic on it which should be able to find the problem and then tackle it yourself to save some money.

Yeah I had the strip in my last truck (f150) and I loved it. The windshield is not as tall in this truck and a decent sized strip would go pretty far down the window. I just didn't think I would like having a little tiny strip on it so I opted out. But what you say is true; it does provide alot. I was also scared I would be asking for it with the strip as it is IMO very eye catching.

Thats a great deal! It's definately worth it to get it done. You'd spend $50 at autozone on tint and razorblades to do it yourself plus you get the better quality metalized tint and not the dyed stuff.

Mine was about $168 with taxes. I did not get a strip on the front glass.

I ended up going with 15%. They did a great job and only took about 15 minutes. A+ for Tennessee Tint Co. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Man comments like that make me wanna go darker now! haha. The only reason I am considering 35% is the whole inspection thing. I don't have one now since I live in Moscow. I am not planning on moving into Memphis or Bartlett. We will be "in the country" somewhere around here hopefully. I don't expect to ever be pulled over for 20% because it isn't that dark. I just don't know!!

Here is a pic of the truck before the tint. I have pretty much decided on 35%. We are planning on buying a house in the next year or two and I'd rather not have to redo this if we move to a strict area. Will have the after pics later today. [/url] Uploaded with ImageShack.us

That's about what I figured. I'll probably go with 20%.

Anyone have an opinion on 35% versus 20%. I know the legal limit is 35% and I'm all about following the law but do you think I will be satisfied with 35%? I don't want it so dark I can't see out but do want a little more privacy. I've never had metalized tint so I'm not sure how the looks differ from dyed. Some friends and the installer seem to think I could get away with 20% and never have trouble. If I do ever get pulled over or go through a road block the first thing I do is roll those windows down.

They want $150 for my truck which isn't much more than the others using dyed film. I'm satisfied with that and have an appointment for next Saturday. I'll post up before and after pics for everyone when it's done. Thanks for the advice!

Based on Scotts profile on TN Tint he sounds like he would do a good job. I have almost decided on them but am waiting on a response and a quote. I have been quoted between $109 and $140 on a few others but would pay a little more for a job well done. Anyone have any idea what TN Tint usually starts out at? I would just be getting the two side windows and a solid back glass done in either the metallized or ceramic tint based on what they carry. No dyed junk.

Does anyone have any experience with window tinting shops around the memphis/collierville area? I know Camper City in Horn Lake does a good job but that's a long drive. I know it's almost impossible for the tint to be done perfectly but the few I've done turned out looking good with not alot of air or trash under them. I would do it myself but it's in a newer tacoma and I just can't seem to get it cut right. Anyways any recommendations would be great. Thanks!
