WELCOME ALL DANNY FANGIRLS TO YOUR INSTALMENT OF DANIEL RICCIARDO’S DTS BREAKDOWN! 🍯🦡

GIF by @arturleclerc

DANNNNNNNNYYY BOYYY 😍😍😍😍😍😍

He’s already laughing (god I love him)

‘Alright, what’s up?, Daniel Ricardo, this is season six drive to survive, and yes I’m back’ (fangirling HARD)

Cue another Daniel montage (they have his whole discography on file don’t they?)

He looks so fucking tried though

Logan and Alex talking about DTS frothing at the mouth about Daniel returning is the most factually, correct thing I’ve ever heard 😂

Logan: ‘All I know is the most excited people when Danny Ricciardo came back was Netflix.’

Alex: ‘I literally think they had to change their pants three times. I know the episode already. Let…let me run it through. Ready? Here we have Danny Ricciardo watching on the sidelines. “Yeah, it hurts to not be racing.” Then all of a sudden, pans to Nyck de Vries. Lock up. [imitates brakes screeching]. Off the track. Crash. Oh shit! Boom. Fast-forward. Silverstone. Test. Daniel Ricciardo. Super quick. [laughs] Danny looking at it like…big smile on his face. “It is what it is. You know?” [man]“I never left” “I never left. I’m back,baby. Honey Badger. Don’t give a shit.” (Hire him now DTS because he nailed that)

Fuck why they got to follow that shit with Zandvoort though

Daniel whoring about in his Enchante tattoo thigh high shorts

“Feels right. Feels good” (It sure does Danny is sure does)

His and all the drivers safety has to come first and he point blank didn’t feel safe you arsehole Michael so it’s not okay)

Look at him and his little moustache

Insider threats will “likely be an issue” that election centers across the US will face in the coming weeks, according to a US intelligence memo viewed by WIRED. These threats, the memo warns, “could derail or jeopardize a fair and transparent election process.”

The bulletin cites the Department of Homeland Security's definition of an insider threat: someone who “will use his or her authorized access, wittingly or unwittingly, to do harm to an entity.”

This stark warning was rolled into a situational awareness bulletin on the broader threat landscape faced by election centers heading into the 2024 election. It was published this month by Colorado Information Analysis Center (CIAC), Colorado’s counterterrorism center, which compiles intelligence from federal, state, and local agencies into threat reports shared with its law enforcement partners. This warning comes as election deniers across the US have assumed positions at all levels of the electoral system.

“The entire threat picture is elevated for this election,” Colorado’s Division of Homeland Security and Emergencies Management director Kevin Klein tells WIRED. “I think it’s fair to say that insider threats are a greater concern than in previous elections.”

“Due to the nature of the United States election process, many people are involved in administering or carrying out responsibilities that support elections, all of whom have a potential to be an insider threat,” states the bulletin, which was first obtained by Property of the People, a nonprofit focused on transparency and national security.

The intelligence bulletin outlines several examples of insider threat “red flag” behavior, including attempts to alter or destroy ballots, giving unauthorized personnel access to voting centers, accessing the computer network at odd hours, and turning off security cameras.

The bulletin doesn’t say why intelligence officials concluded that insider threats were likely this election. But since 2020, there has been a frenzied effort by election conspiracy theorists to install MAGA loyalists and election deniers as workers at all levels of the electoral process.

Countless conspiracy-fueled “election integrity” outfits have sprung up in recent years. Initially, most were focused on training Donald Trump loyalists as “poll watchers”—civilians who observe the democratic process and flag any concerns. Their ambitions have since broadened to include “poll workers,” seeking to install election deniers in positions responsible for administering the election in counties and cities around the US.

Many of these initiatives have direct links to Trump’s inner circle. An investigation published this summer by Rolling Stone and American Doom identified nearly 70 pro-Trump conspiracy theorists holding positions as election officials in key battleground counties. Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn and far-right political strategist Roger Stone have been key advisers for an initiative called the America Project, which was bankrolled in part by election denier and Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne, and has sought to train activists in poll watching and election canvassing. Christian nationalist pastors who believe that God is working through Donald Trump have been traveling and rallying across swing states, seeking to recruit poll workers.

During the 2022 midterms, two “former” Proud Boys qualified to become poll workers in Miami-Dade County; a third was disqualified on account of his indictment for the January 6 Capitol riot. The same year, a Michigan woman with ties to the Proud Boys who urged rioters to “storm the gates” at the Capitol on January 6 was hired as an election worker by a county clerk’s office.

Earlier this year, MAGA election deniers orchestrated a takeover of Georgia’s state board of elections and introduced a slew of new rules, such as requiring election officials to conduct a “reasonable inquiry” into the results prior to certification and hand counting ballots cast at polling places on Election Day. The state board was recently blocked by Georgia’s Supreme Court from enacting its new rules.

Special election proceedings this summer in Glendale, a Milwaukee suburb, foreshadowed the kinds of scenes US counties might expect to see in the coming weeks. A group of partisan poll watchers created chaos when they contested every absentee ballot that was being cast, and reportedly turned “disruptive” when they were repeatedly reminded of the rules about meritless ballot challenges. Glendale’s Mayor told CNN: “It certainly gave us pause about what we’ll see later.”

“These documents are not typical election threat intelligence,” says Ryan Shapiro, executive director of Property of the People. “The documents are unmistakably the product of a radically heightened threat environment due to January 6 and Trump's unambiguous incitement of his followers to election and immigration-related violence.”

What were once considered sleepy and mundane administrative roles in government have become the subjects of intense scrutiny in the past four years. Election workers across the US have reported death threats against them and their families, stalking, and harassment. The volume of threats against those workers was so significant that the Justice Department was compelled to form the “Election Threats Task Force” in 2021.

And the threats have been a major factor in what’s been the highest rate of election worker turnover seen in decades; at least 36 percent of local election offices have changed hands since 2020. By 2022, in 50 out of 67 counties in Pennsylvania, election chiefs had left their positions due to threats.

WIRED asked Klein, Colorado’s DHSEM director, whether these widely-publicized efforts by the far right to gain a foothold in the electoral process had informed their insider threat assessment. “I think you’d be foolish not to be concerned about that,” Klein said in response. “But that’s our job, to protect both the physical security of our election infrastructure and cyber security of our election infrastructure.”

“That means being aware that there are insider threats,” he added, “and sharing that information with clerks and local law enforcement, so they know what to be on the lookout for.”

WIRED recently reported that US intelligence had been quietly issuing warnings to government agencies for months about extremist plots to attack election infrastructure. In particular, they flagged online posts offering guides for blowing up ballot drop-boxes and evading law enforcement detection. Intelligence agencies are also monitoring “civil war” rhetoric online, and the potential for that type of speech to mobilize individuals towards election-related violence. Internally, intelligence officials have conceded that they currently “lack a complete threat picture” going into the election, due to extremists’ shift toward more heavily encrypted messaging platforms.

On cyber defense, another US intelligence memo, first reported by WIRED, suggests that the threat of cybercriminals targeting election infrastructure will ultimately outweigh threats posed by rival nations such as China, Russia, and Iran. “Since at least 2022, financially motivated cyber criminal attacks have delayed election-related processes using ransomware attacks or by driving victims to remediate an attack,” the memo says, while adding that nation-state actors often prefer conducting cyber-enabled espionage and malign influence campaigns over disrupting election systems directly.

Criminal hackers, meanwhile, have “probably intentionally disrupted or gained unauthorized access to US election-related networks,” the memo says, citing an internal review of DHS reporting.

I'm so tired of seeing, "We need to let the voters decide" in response to Trump's potential disqualification as a presidential candidate. Bitch, we DID decide. We decided in 2020 when we voted him out of office. And then he threw himself on the floor and kicked his feet and screamed and wet his pants and yanked out tufts of his wig and tried to overturn an election that wasn't even close so he could continue to stay in power. Why on earth should that not disqualify him from being hired for the highest job in the country?

No matter how badly you want to vote for Obama, you can't, because he already served two terms. No matter how badly you want to vote for a 34-year-old, you can't, because our Constitution requires candidates be at least 35 years of age. No matter how badly you want to vote for someone who immigrated to the U.S. from another country, you can't, because the constitution requires that candidates be natural born citizens. Voters have always had limitations placed on who they can vote for. I don't give a fuck if you want to vote for that steaming pile of shit. He didn't give a fuck about my vote when he tried to disenfranchise it, and millions of others, because he's a little bitch who can't be told no without melting down into full-blown toddler hysterics.

It's very simple: if he hadn't tried to overthrow the government, there would be no question of whether or not he's (legally) qualified for the office of the presidency. But he did. That's the only reason he's in the position of potentially being disqualified from running. So take your whiny little arguments about how it's 'undemocratic' to disqualify a guy who tried to subvert an election so he could install himself as Emperor Orange based on the clause in the 14th amendment of the Constitution that states, 'No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof' and shove them up your ass. You can debate about exactly how this section of the Constitution should be applied, and whether or not it's applicable here. But it is not 'undemocratic' or unfair to voters to kick a guy off the ballot because he's such a sore loser he tried to overthrow the government.

In conclusion: suck my nuts, you whiny tits.

Need to let shit out and as i can't afford therapy anymore, here's the place

I have no idea what to do anymore. Been playing with the idea of an onlyfans or selling feet pics, but i don't have the persistence for even that. Can't pick up any commission work bc i can't draw. Can't keep the print shop bc i can't afford materials. Im considering just selling all machinery to pay the bills.

Dad's only got 500brl from his payment this month, bc he borrowed money from the bank and it's eating up his whole salary. No, i have no idea where the supposed money he's borrowed went into. No idea where he spent enough money to cut his salary in fucking half, paying 144 installments of 1500brl.

We have to pay 1350brl for the apartment, about 250 for all phones, 180 for the internet, and thankfully this month only 56 for electricity but it might have been wrong and we might still get another bill with the right amount.

Outside of that, we need to eat, and i need to pay for my new phone that i only got bc the old one was about to explode, plus our credit card is blocked bc we don't have 5k to pay it right now. The credit card was being used exclusively to buy food.

I lost my job with the psychiatrist to her new computer, mom thankfully still has her first husband's pension, and dad gave us 500. So we have, collectively, about 2k if i give up my savings, and then next month we're back to about 1300brl, which doesn't even pay the apartment.

Dad has a job, a public job, from where he can't be legally fired. But he's on medical leave, so he can't work extra hours to earn more. I do understand the pressure and how tired he is after almost 30 years, but he's the only one who has a job. When I started working for the psychiatrist, he dumped all of the bills on me, but i was only making 300 per week and now I don't have this anymore. He's on medical leave bc he hates the school he teaches at, and got the leave with his psychiatrist. But if he needs to go back to work, he can't change schools bc no school will take a teacher on medical leave, so he doesn't want to go back. As i said, i do understand all of his psychological issues, but why do I have to ignore mine, which are also physical, to take whatever job, but he can't go back to the job he already has?? Isn't fucking survival first? We can't afford FOOD!

I have a medical leave check for myself to see if i can get into health security benefits in a couple weeks, but what if i can't? What if they look at me and say tough luck, deal with it? I haven't had an interview lined up yet, i went physically to places to give them my resume, but im either way under or too over qualified for literally every position i tried. Jobs that just require high school level won't hire me bc im graduated at university level, and places that require uni level also want me to have at least a mastery, or 5 years experience, or both.

I don't actually want to become a cam girl or whatever, I can't do the jobs i have the means to keep bc the means are gone, im too depressed to draw anything, I can't afford higher education and i have no drive right now,

I spent the last month in such a spiral of depression, bc i can't show that im depressed or my mom's depression will get worse. My best friends sent me money and im so embarrassed about it bc i shouldn't need this kind of help at all, and it was only enough to keep up for a month in the end. I can't bring myself to take any kind of whatever job, like at a store or supermarket or cleaning bc i won't survive the pain. I can feel my health declining, im in pain all the time, my bad foot has been acting up everyday and my ok foot is also annoying me.

I can't see much of any solution for anything. I became a burden, to my parents and to myself. To everyone. If i wasn't here, maybe it would be different. Easier. Cheaper.

You’ve no doubt seen a lot of discussion of the fact that, despite her manifest lack of qualifications, Claudine Gay got the big job at Harvard because she checked all the boxes: black, female, dedicated heart and soul to the vileness of DEI.

And that’s all true. Claudine Gay got that job running Harvard on the strength of identity politics and identity politics alone. This is a woman who is now under suspicion for some 40 allegations of plagiarism. Far from being the “distinguished scholar” she was advertised as, Gay is essentially a serial academic rapist. And Harvard, for having installed her atop its hierarchy, deserves to be deposed from the ranks of elite, or even noteworthy, universities.

Harvard has been utterly corrupted and defiled. It’s now an institution without honor or quality. Its reputation has been exposed as a fraud.

That’s the effect Claudine Gay has already had on Harvard. The only potential fix for it is her immediate resignation, along with that of all of the people involved in hiring her.

And that won’t happen.

Why? Claudine Gay also checks another set of boxes, not coincidentally the ones set out in the very title of my new book: Racism, Revenge and Ruin: It’s All Obama.

Indeed, there is no more apt poster child for the America Obama left us than the pathetic Ms. Gay. In a time when not just race but adherence to noxious neo-Marxism govern hiring decisions everywhere from the campus to the “entertainment” world, (and, increasingly, Fortune 500 boardrooms), no one better exemplifies the ruinous legacy of our 44th president.

And ruinous by intention. This is only one facet of the “fundamental transformation” of America that Obama promised on the eve of his 2008 election. All the American people really wanted in electing Obama was to neutralize race as a persistent issue in politics and culture, thinking that taking a chance on a not-particularly-qualified politician as our president would prove we aren’t a racist country, and further, we’d be proving that we’d realized the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., that men and women would be judged in America by the content of their character and not the color of their skin.

What a vile bait-and-switch that was.

Barack Obama’s own academic qualifications were dubious. It’s still not particularly well-understood how he managed to secure admission to Columbia and Harvard with undistinguished grades or how he managed to serve as president of Harvard’s law review without authoring a single article in that publication.

He advanced based on the color of his skin and not his individual merit. Everyone understands that now. Obama then demonstrated at Harvard Law along with the bizarre racist professor Derrick Bell, the inventor of Critical Race Theory, when the latter demanded the university hire more black faculty simply because they were black. This after Obama was made president of the law review simply because he was black.

As Claudine Gay was made president of the university simply because she is black.

Harvard’s prestige now lies in ruins. And that isn’t enough for Obama. Last week, it’s said that he “privately lobbied” the Harvard Corporation, a secretive entity chaired by his former Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker, to back Gay amid the controversy.

And as damaging as the Gay scandal — which brewed up thanks to her inability to publicly condemn the pro-Hamas demonstrators making genocidal statements about Jews and Israel on her campus – has been, it’s nonetheless not a surprise that Obama would demand Pritzker and the rest of the Harvard governors hold the line.

Benjamin Weingarten, writing at the New York Post, got this right:

To fire her would be to acknowledge the evil hatred of the West at DEI’s core; admit DEI elevates politics over merit, given Gay has proven to be something of an academic fraud; and therefore delegitimize the movement as a whole given Gay’s and Harvard’s symbolic and substantive prominence in it. The DEI project falling in the academy would be cataclysmic for the left given these institutions are pivotal for indoctrinating and credentialing the next generation of leftist leaders atop society’s commanding heights. Elite schools are the left’s center of gravity, feeding power centers from Washington to Wall Street to Silicon Valley. That Obama stepped in to support Gay suggests he believes it to be a political imperative of the highest order. Presumably he thinks circling the wagons around the besieged Harvard president will cause this scandal, exposing the emperors of the Ivy league have no clothes, to blow over.

DEI, you must understand, is the constantly metastisizing tumor of the ugly racism and full-steam identitarianism that Barack Obama inflicted on America in a hundred ways (many of them described in Racism, Revenge and Ruin) through his own hires, executive actions, corrupt legal settlements, federal grants and other activities during his eight years in office. Now, with the Obama Redux administration of Joe Biden, it isn’t just in-your-face race-based pandering blowing apart our American meritocracy.

The DEI activism standing in for competence gives us people like Ketanji Brown Jackson, Karine Jean-Pierre, “Rachel” Levine and Sam Brinton. Nobody in America still equates the holding of a high-profile job with the possession of real qualifications for it — or the ability to do that job well.

Claudine Gay is a classic case of the institutional corruption Obama set loose in America. Her continued tenure at Harvard is a bright-line crucible for the survival of King’s dream.

It’s dying. So is Harvard. And so is the America we’ve pledged allegiance to. It’s Obama holding the murder weapon.

Why Should You Hire a Junk Hauling Proficient?

Some rubbish is just too large, clumsy, or dangerous to dispose of all alone. Deal with cleanup by hiring a junk hauling business to appropriately finish the work.

Is it true that you are clearing out a stuffed carport or capacity unit? Could it be said that you are beginning a destruction or development project in your home or workplace? Do you just have to dispose of a few huge pieces of furniture? Consider hiring a junk hauling organization to deal with flotsam and jetsam, waste, or huge item removal. While, at times, you can unquestionably handle the occupation all alone, getting a junk removal expert enjoys a few unmistakable benefits.

Speed and Know-How

It presumably should be obvious that somebody who removes junk professionally will be impressively more effective than, say, you and your amigos. A junk removal service will actually want to survey your junk or trash removal needs and will know how to best load everything into the truck, in view of previous experience. That could mean less excursions to the local landfill or recycling focus, saving driving time and fuel costs. Plus, you'll have the option to book an arrangement time that works around your timetable, and you'll know that when the truck pulls away, your junk hauling position will be finished. At long last, a junk removal genius will know how to get huge items out of your structure without harming the floors, walls, or encompassing installations.

Security Contemplations

A Complete Guide to Buying and Financing a Crane

New Post has been published on https://www.vikingequipmentfinance.com/a-complete-guide-to-buying-and-financing-a-crane/

A Complete Guide to Buying and Financing a Crane

Buying a crane can be a significant investment, so it’s important to understand the process and make an informed decision. Here is a complete guide to buying and financing a crane:

Determine Your Needs: Before buying a crane, you need to determine the type of crane you need for your current and future projects. There are many types of cranes available, including tower cranes, mobile cranes, crawler cranes, and overhead cranes. Each type of crane has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it’s important to choose the one that is best suited for your short and long term needs.

Choose a Crane Supplier: Once you have determined the type of crane you need, you should choose a reputable supplier. Look for a supplier that has experience in the industry and offers quality cranes. You can ask for referrals from other contractors or search online for reviews and ratings.

Check the Crane’s Condition: Before finalizing the purchase, it’s important to check the crane’s condition thoroughly. You should inspect the crane’s structural integrity, mechanical components, electrical system, and safety features. If possible, you should also test the crane’s performance to ensure it’s in good working condition.

Determine the Total Cost: In addition to the purchase price of the crane, you should also consider the cost of transportation, installation, maintenance, and insurance. These costs can add up quickly, so it’s important to factor them into your budget.

Choose a Financing Option: Once you have determined the total cost of the crane, you should consider your crane financing options. You can choose to pay for the crane in cash, obtain a loan from a bank or financial institution, or lease the crane.

Cash Payment: If you have sufficient cash reserves, you may choose to pay for the crane upfront. This option provides the advantage of avoiding interest payments and owning the crane outright.

Bank Loan: If you don’t have enough cash reserves, you may obtain a loan from a bank or financial institution. The loan amount and interest rate will depend on your credit score, business history, and collateral. You should compare the interest rates and terms of different lenders to choose the one that suits your needs.

Lease: If you don’t want to commit to a long-term investment, you can choose to lease the crane. Leasing provides the advantage of lower monthly payments and flexibility to upgrade or return the crane at the end of the lease term. However, you won’t own the crane at the end of the lease, unless the lease has end of term purchase options.

Finalize the Purchase: Once you have chosen the financing option, you should finalize the purchase. You should review and sign the purchase agreement, financing agreement, and any other legal documents. You should also make the necessary payments and obtain the necessary permits and insurance.

Maintenance and Operation: After buying your crane, it’s important to maintain and operate it properly. You should follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for maintenance, hire qualified operators, and ensure the crane is operated safely and efficiently. This will help prolong the lifespan of the crane and minimize downtime and repair costs.

Should I Buy a New or Used Crane?

The decision to buy a new or used crane depends on a variety of factors, including your budget, the purpose of the crane, the expected usage, and the availability of financing.

If you have a higher budget and require a crane with the latest technology, a new crane may be the better option. New cranes often come with warranties and maintenance packages, which can give you peace of mind and ensure that the crane operates reliably. Additionally, a new crane can offer the latest safety features and meet the most current industry standards.

However, if your budget is more limited or you don’t need the latest technology, a used crane could be a more cost-effective option. Used cranes are often significantly cheaper than new cranes, which can save you a lot of money upfront. Additionally, used cranes that have been well-maintained and inspected can still provide reliable and safe operation.

Ultimately, the decision to buy a new or used crane will depend on your specific needs and circumstances. Before making a decision, you should thoroughly research the options available to you, consult with experts in the field, and weigh the pros and cons of each choice.

Popular Websites to Purchase a Crane:

There are several websites where you can purchase a crane. Here are some of the most popular:

CraneNetwork.com – This is a great website for buying and selling new and used cranes of all types. It has a vast inventory of cranes from trusted brands and sellers.

Bigge.com – Bigge Crane and Rigging Co. is one of the largest crane companies in the world, and their website is a great place to buy or rent a crane. They have an extensive inventory of cranes of all sizes and types.

Mascus.com – This is a global marketplace for heavy machinery, including cranes. You can find both new and used cranes from sellers all over the world.

IronPlanet.com – This is another website that sells both new and used cranes, as well as other heavy equipment. They offer auctions and fixed-price listings, so you can find the right crane at the right price.

EquipmentTrader.com – This website has a large inventory of cranes for sale from dealers and private sellers. You can search by type, brand, location, and other criteria to find the perfect crane for your needs.

It’s always a good idea to do your research and compare prices and features before making a purchase. Additionally, be sure to check the seller’s reputation and read customer reviews before making a purchase to ensure that you are getting a quality crane.

Crane Financing Options:

There are several financing options available for businesses looking to purchase a crane:

Bank loans: Traditional bank loans are a common financing option for purchasing a crane. Banks typically offer competitive interest rates and repayment terms that can range from several months to several years.

Equipment financing: Some lenders specialize in providing financing for equipment purchases, including cranes. These lenders may offer more flexible repayment terms or better rates and terms compared to other financing options.

Leasing: Leasing a crane can be a cost-effective way to access the equipment without a large upfront investment. Leasing terms can range from short-term rentals to long-term leases, and some may include maintenance and repair services.

Equipment auctions: Not really a financing option, but purchasing a used crane at an auction can be a more affordable option for those on a tight budget. However, it is important to thoroughly inspect the crane before making a purchase to ensure it is in good working condition.  Depending on the age of the crane, most lenders will finance cranes purchased at an auction house.

When considering financing options for a crane purchase, it is important to carefully evaluate each option and compare interest rates, repayment terms, and any additional fees or charges. It may also be helpful to consult with a financial advisor or accountant to determine the best financing option for your specific situation.

Your Ultimate Guide to Hiring a Qualified Safe Technician

Installing a safe in your home or office is a smart move to keep your valuables secure. However, if you encounter any issues with the safe in the future, you'll need a qualified and reliable safe technician to repair it. In this ultimate guide, we will discuss everything you need to know when hiring a safe technician.

Hire a licensed safe technician

When hiring a safe technician, it's important to make sure that they have the proper credentials and certifications. You should ask for their license number and check with your state's licensing board to make sure it is valid. A bonded and insured technician is also highly recommended as this ensures that if anything happens during the service call, you can get reimbursed by their insurance company.

Another way to ensure quality service is by looking at how much experience your potential technicians have in servicing safes of similar size and complexity as yours (if applicable). If possible, ask for references from previous clients so that you can talk with them directly about their experience working with this particular technician before deciding who will do the job for you!

Make sure that the technician is bonded and insured

You should be sure that the technician is bonded and insured. A bond is a guarantee from a third-party source that a company or individual has sufficient funds to cover any losses incurred by their clients, so if something goes wrong with your safe, you won't be left holding the bag. The technician should be able to provide proof of his or her license and insurance before starting work on your safe; this way, if anything happens while they're inside it (and believe me: things do happen), there's no risk of losing money in legal fees or damages caused by an uninsured technician not being able to pay out on claims made against him/herself/the company he/she represents

Ask for references and check them out

When you're interviewing potential technicians, it's important to ask for written references. In addition to checking out the technician's work history, call each reference and ask about their experience with the company. Ask them how they would rate the quality of the service they received and whether or not they would recommend them again. You should also inquire about price and professionalism: Was there anything that caused concern or disappointment?

Interview several technicians before you make a decision

When interviewing technicians, ask for references and check them out. Also, ask about their experience with safes of your type and with your specific safe. If possible, try to get a feel for how they approach problems. Ask them if they have worked on similar problems before and what their solutions were; this will help you gauge their problem-solving ability and whether or not they are familiar with common issues that can arise when working on older safes.

Finally, be sure to ask about the manufacturer of your safe so that you know exactly which parts might need replacing during repairs (and how much this might cost).

Upfront and Transparent Pricing

From the outset, you should expect to pay for a safe technician's time. The fees vary depending on your location and the size of your safe. You may also be charged extra if there's damage that needs to be repaired or replaced.

You should ask questions about how much it will cost before agreeing to any repairs--and don't be afraid to negotiate! If you feel like the cost is too high and there isn't enough value in the work being done, ask for an alternative solution that doesn't involve spending money unnecessarily.

Conclusion

If you want to keep your family and property safe, it's important that you hire a qualified safe technician. A professional will help you choose the right safe for your needs and install it securely in your home or business.

Identify and Prevent Asphalt Shingle Roofing Problems

Protect Your Home with Regular Asphalt Shingle Roof Inspections and Maintenance

ACME Home Exteriors in Okemos, Michigan, is a trusted roofing company. They provide homeowners with comprehensive roofing services and maintenance to help ensure the longevity of their roofing systems.

When it comes to asphalt shingle roofing, early identification and prevention of problems are crucial. Regular inspections and maintenance can detect potential roof damage before it becomes a major issue. ACME Home Exteriors advises homeowners to schedule regular roof inspections to identify worn-out shingles and defective components that can cause leaks, mold growth, and other problems.

What Affects Asphalt Roof Shingles?

Weather damage

Asphalt shingles are susceptible to weather damage, especially hail, and high winds. These extreme weather conditions can cause torn or missing shingles, granule loss, and discoloration. Severe weather conditions are common in Michigan. Therefore, it's essential to hire a qualified roofing contractor to examine the roof for signs of damage and assess its condition. ACME Home Exteriors has a team of experienced professionals who are well-versed in identifying and repairing issues related to asphalt shingle roofing.

Water damage

In addition to weather damage, moisture, mold growth, and leakage can cause problems for asphalt shingle roofing. Water can seep through the shingles and cause damage to the underlying structures. Mold growth can result from trapped moisture, and leakage can cause significant damage to the roofing system and the home's interior. Homeowners are advised to take quick action when they notice these issues.

ACME Home Exteriors also reminds homeowners to pay attention to the ventilation requirements when installing new shingles. Proper ventilation helps maintain the attic's temperature and moisture levels and prevent moisture buildup. Inadequate ventilation can cause the shingles to age prematurely and damage the roofing system.

Damage by creatures

Creatures like birds or rodents can damage roofing. They may build nests or chew through the decking of the roof. 

Wear and tear

As roofs age, they bear the wear and tear of weather changes and the physical stress they are subjected to. 

In some cases, replacement may be necessary if significant damage has already occurred due to severe weather events or other acts of nature. Tear-offs and replacement procedures should only be performed by trained professionals to avoid further costly repairs down the line due to improper installation.

When assessing a roof for potential damage, getting a professional's opinion before attempting any repairs is important. Homeowners may be tempted to repair their roofs, but this can be dangerous, especially for inexperienced people. ACME Home Exteriors recommends seeking professional help for any roof repairs or replacements.

ACME Home Exteriors encourages homeowners to undertake regular inspections of asphalt shingle roofs, both visually and through detailed records stored in the property's maintenance log book. By monitoring changes in the appearance or condition of asphalt shingles regularly, any potential issues can be identified quickly, and preventative action may be taken before further damage occurs.

Signs of damaged asphalt shingles

Missing shingles

Bruised shingles

Curled shingles

Blistered shingles

Cracked shingles

Missing granules

In conclusion, identifying and preventing problems with asphalt shingle roofing is essential to the longevity of the roof system. Homeowners are advised to hire a qualified roofing contractor to regularly assess their roofing system's condition. ACME Home Exteriors in Okemos, Michigan, provides comprehensive roofing services and maintenance to help ensure the longevity of their roofing systems. They have a team of experienced professionals who can identify and repair issues related to asphalt shingle roofing. Homeowners are encouraged to seek professional help for roof repairs or replacements and to undertake regular inspections of asphalt shingle roofs to detect potential issues early. 

Okemos, Michigan, residents can call ACME Home Exteriors at (517) 321-5890 when they suspect any problem with their asphalt roof shingles. With years of experience and a strong dedication to providing quality workmanship, they are the best choice for roofing service in Okemos, Michigan.
