It seems every time I have to hire a company to work on my house, the job turns out looking like they didn't know what they were doing. I am not going to tell you how much I paid because it is embarrassing considering the poor job they did.

New siding, they tried to put on a different product than what was sold to us. I couldn't communicate to the one guy who showed up two weeks late because he didn't speak English. This was from a large company. They finally delivered the correct product, but the installation looks pretty bad. They left their trash everywhere including monster drink cans and water bottles and nails all around the house because they were too lazy to pick them up when they dropped them.

They destroyed my chimney cap and instead of hiring a company that actually specializes in that work, a month later, with a tarp keeping the rain out of the house, they tried to install one themselves and screwed that up.

They took down 3 outside light fixtures and didn't reinstall them. They reinstalled my downspouts upside down to get them to fit back on over the siding, instead of cutting them to fit because of the siding. Upside down downspouts do not work to drain water away form the base of the house by the way.

This is why I do most of the repairs myself. We can't trust any of these shady companies, contractors, builders who are operating in the Middle Tennessee area right now.

I should have done everything myself. It would have taken just as long, but it would have been less expensive and actually done the correct way. Maybe I should start my own company.

Hello everyone,

I am searching for recommendations for a lawyer who can work with someone on a limited income, offers a payment plan, or just provides any form of legal aid.

Thank you.

Hello everyone, I am thinking of making a Discord server for people of Murfreesboro of all interests. I don't know who would join, though. I want to make it so we can discuss life here as well as our interests so we can potentially make friends there. Do you all think it's a good idea? If so, I will be working on it starting tonight or tomorrow. I personally think it's a good idea since it's kind of hard to find friends in this city.

This server is for people of Murfreesboro to interact with each other.

I just overheard someone say he hates Murfreesboro because it is a town without a soul. I am finding difficulty disagreeing with him.

Even with an enormous university most of the kids leave for the weekend because there's nothing for them here. It seems like most businesses in Murfreesboro are chains. There's so little culture: No music, no art, no night life. Theres nothing for adults to do after 930. We are a sleepy suburb of Nashville, not a college town.

For those that disagree, what does Murfreesboro have that we can all our own? And what can we do to improve that culture? If you agree, what actions can we take to organically create a soul for Murfreesboro?

I'm a 20yo from Manchester, England. I have opportunity to go to MTSU, Chicago (columbia college) or Toronto (Humber college) with a studying abroad program. I like the actual look of this place the most. My worry though its not in the city like the other two. I like partying and kinda want to live that stereotypical house party american college lifestyle. Is this the best option? Do people head into Nashville often? Is it as cool as it looks? Is the social aspect good? Is it good for picking up girls lol. Tell me everything convince me to chose MSU or convince me not too. Cheers.

I work as a driver for an auto parts retailer it’s the biggest one in town, I drive all day and never at any point does the traffic stop or slow down so it just begs the question what does everyone do all day? I mean seriously how does this town function it seems the entirety of the population is just joyriding all day and getting in meaningless traffic jams, I mean does anyone else have a job? And also I’m in an ice cream shop with my girlfriend because she works there and what possesses a massive hoard of genuine lard asses to go into an ice cream shop at 8:30 at night, the people of this town disappoint me so much. I was born and raised here and the people that inhabit this town only get more stupid and more depraved. How do most of you feel good as human beings

Yeah I need my oil changed and was wondering if any place has any deals. Thanks!

My son got a speeding ticket in Murfreesboro. It was Rutherford county and was a highway patrol officer. It's his first ticket and it was under 20 over so he wants to ask for traffic school. When he goes to court, are you supposed to plead guilty and ask for traffic school to avoid points? Or how does it work or what should you say?

I have an incoming sophomore who missed his dorm pick. I’m looking for housing options for him close to MTSU, in a safe location.

I’ve applied to countless places everywhere you can think of grocery stores and fast food places like even the worst of the worst but I can’t seem to find a job because there are old ass people that are grown asl who work at teen jobs like why are you at McDonalds taking orders in your 30’s and 40’s like what the fuck is going on
