I live hand to mouth on a fixed income and often have to let bills fall a month behind when…read moreunexpected expenses come up and especially my power bill in winter when the costs are highest. This month EWEB totally screwed me over, when AFTER I had already posted a payment online but before they processed it, their computer flagged me with a diconnect warning and door hangar. They refused to fix it, despite my payment having been scheduled ONLINE before their computer declared me delinquent. This resulted in my being overcharge $27.91 cents that they have yet to explain the full addition of, and my being required to bring my bill fully up to date, which has left me broke from the middle of this month, hungry and in pain because I can't afford medicine. They should have fixed it and undone the computer's error but they told me point blank on the phone that they are servants of the computer, it is their master, they have no control over it and what it says is always right, and that I had to suck it up and suffer for them. Now, looking at the current bill, which printed before they processed the second payment this month and since I already was required to pay all late fees and other charges to keep my power on this month, it should leave a remainder of just over $74 that I owe, and no additional $5 late charges until after tomorrow. But they have a remainder due that is $10 higher than what I should owe with no justification for the extra $10. In addition, my late fee should be less than $5, as they sent out a notice a little over two years ago about a change to the late fee system that if I remember correctly made it something like 3% of the total bill with a minimum of $3. I think it was actually a lower percentage, but at the time I remember doing the math and on most months if I was overdue it should have brought my late fees down. I do not remember ever getting notification they were going back to a flat $5 fee. With my recent experiences with this company, it has become completely clear to me that they are the very model of a heartless corporate machine, and these overpaid fat cats are SUPPOSED to be running their whole business as a Non-profit. UPDATE: Changed from 1 to 2 stars after a little time to simmer down, but my experience over-all hasn't ever been better than 2 stars... I'd say most of the time they are 3 stars but they definitely have their 1 star moments.

I'll never forgive this company. While we were not home they entered our gated back yard, knocking…read moreover a secondary fence we had set up so that our cat could not get out. After not realizing the side of the house fence was knocked over our cat got out one morning and got hit by a car. I should have checked, but never knew someone had even entered our yard. The only way I knew was because our neighbor showed us what their security camera caught. They left the secondary fence up against the house, so they knew it was there. I'll never forget finding my baby on the side of the road... Do better EWeb. Get permission to enter someone's yard if there are multiple fenses up!! And if they aren't home RESCHEDULE. You'll never understand the trauma you caused.... Shame on you all....

From what I understand in speaking to a few other companies, their pricing was on the higher side, but for me, "time is money", so it was worth it. I really appreciated the ease of communication, and follow through.

Review for David Craig - Innovative Underground (Eugene, OR)…read moreAfter eight years of living with a stubborn drainage problem, I had nearly given up. Two of our roof gutters fed into a 65-foot underground line that was supposed to carry rainwater to the street -- but something deep under our concrete walkway and patio was badly clogged. I spent months working with two different companies, each promising solutions that never worked. After four costly attempts, I still had overflowing gutters, water pooling near our foundation, and a growing sense of frustration. Then I called David Craig at Innovative Underground, and everything changed. From the very first consultation -- which was detailed, thoughtful, and worth every penny -- David impressed me as a creative idea-guy with vast experience and true integrity. He looked at my situation and saw several possible paths to success that I never would've imagined. His final design was simple, smart, and permanent: a trench and a new piping system leading to a pop-up emitter, placed well away from the house to disperse roof runoff safely. David was on-site the entire day with his assistant Jay, personally ensuring that every connection, slope, and joint fit ideally. They worked cleanly, efficiently, and with genuine care for my property. It's rare to see that level of professionalism and craftsmanship today. The results speak for themselves: both gutters now drain flawlessly into the new emitter system, even in the heaviest Oregon rain. The stress and worry that consumed me all summer are finally gone -- replaced by real peace of mind. David is honest, caring, innovative, and thorough. He offers options rather than pressure, listens rather than assumes, and brings decades of experience to every decision. Whether you hire him for a whole project or just a consultation, his insight is worth your investment. I highly recommend Innovative Underground to anyone facing drainage challenges. David Craig is exactly the professional you hope to find -- ethical, experienced, and genuinely committed to solving problems the right way.

He and his crew worked on our vapor barrier under our house when we first purchased it. We were very pleased with the job he did then back in 2019.

I have been going to Barnes & Noble and spending a fortune on books. My friends got me to go into the Springfield library and sign up and get a library card. It is 100% free since I live within the city limits. I had no idea how far libraries have come since the days of being in school. You can order books online. You can read books online. You can have them brought out and get delivered to your car curbside. It was such an eye-opening experience of how much money I have been wasting buying books only to not finish reading them. The girls inside the library were so helpful and friendly, teaching me how to scan and bring back my own books if I'm in a hurry. I have had a great experience going to the Springfield Public Library. They have comfortable seating to read a book before you check it out. I had noticed several people there seeming to just relax and enjoy themselves. They have tables in the back for people who want to study. I noticed people with laptops, possibly doing homework or work. It was quiet and peaceful. I have found myself going to the Springfield Public Library twice a month now. On the plus side, I'm no longer spending money buying books that I can read for free. Great for the budget!

We were greeted by a very friendly guy named Mark, who explained all of the different sections and where to find age appropriate stuff for my daughter. He also gave us a little welcome bag with a free book! We are not members so we're unable to check out any books, but did explore what they had (loved the *giant* books available). Mostly, though, my daughter loved exploring all the different play areas, toys and the art table! There is definitely much more in the way of toys and entertainment for kids vs. Eugene. There is an enclosed play area for babies/toddlers that has squishy cushions, foam climbing structures, and bins of blocks and sturdy toys. There is also an area on the other side of the kids section with chairs and a little puppet theater, which you can play with on your own, but I also wonder if they have some sort of programs with it? We stayed for about an hour and she was happily entertained by books, the train set, coloring and some noisy shaky blocks. I'm sure we could have stayed even longer and explored more, but she was getting a little grumpy/hungry so had to get lunch. :) I'm sure we'll be back, and would highly recommend to parents who are looking for a fun place to take their kids--it's welcoming, clean, entertaining, free, and good in any weather.
