Reply to Epoxy pipe lining contractor recommendations? by nsaju

Not a lot of companies do this and it's not cheap. I looked into it and ended up just replacing the whole line instead. So explore all your options. But to answer your immediate question: Stemmle Plumbing does this.

It's tough! We've had good experiences at Byrd Park, away from Barker Field-- or close enough to play "dog park tv," where we lavish her with treats for looking at the dogs but not freaking out. The best spot we found when we lived on the Southside was Drewry's Bluff. It's a good loop through the woods, some river views, and almost never any other dogs. Only problem is that the trail in is the same as the trail out, so if you run into trouble there you don't have as many ways to dodge. On the north side, Bryan Park is good at off hours, especially if you stick around the lakes and are decently good at spotting dogs far off.

Reply to RVA vs. Evernest by harpervn

I worked for Dodson in the downtown shokoe/south side across the water, I was a technician and I will say that the people saying it’s a perk of the job or whatever seeing people naked, that’s disgusting, your supposed to knock twice(enter if no reply) and announce yourself(second you step in) and step out when the resident replies unless they say otherwise. I have walked in still on some slippery situations though even following those steps(gun to face, people having intercourse, people in showers.. that aside the point, Dodson sucks, I literally was out at a bar on a Friday and watched the supervisor of me Jeremy rometti get black out wasted and go to a emergency on call. He also created a extreme hostile work environment when I brought it up to corporate, I then quit because I was ignored. CRINGE WARNING When your hired at Dodson expect a keg and multiple shooters(liquor) they wanna get you drunk during your first introduction to the company. Weird right? Well that’s a big reason this place sucks, they are lazy none responsible people running that place, them being a 3rd party management group for owners gets the residents half ass service and guys who feel privileged are directed to sites if on site guys can’t fix, they are the biggest egotistical assholes I’ve ever met. Stay away from Dodson in all ways…

Reply to Low-to-mid range men's suits by masenkablst

Honestly the best way I've found to get a nice suit on the cheap is to get one on eBay and then have it tailored. I used to have to wear suits for work, and being the cheap sort, this is what I did.

You can get cool vintage designer suits this way.

I would get ones roughly my size (not smaller) on eBay and take them to Hong Kong Tailors on Broad st.

I got Armani suits, Hugo Boss etc for under $100 a piece this way, including the tailoring.

A suit has to be tailored to look good anyway, so why not get 'em used?

You could take him to Off Sak's if you dnt mind heading up to PM. They will have very nice suits for very little $$. Lots of good tailors in the RVA area as well. My neighbor is one as a matter of fact.

If you want to go crazy, grab a ticket to NYC and hit Century 21. Its the place everyone always talks about where you can pick up designer suits/fashion in general that would retail for thousands of dollars for a few hundred. (prob more of a future thought for his adulting suits.) I loved shopping there when we'd visit. Always came away with Versace, Dolce Gabanna, Armani..
