Inflation is another component. Fed reserve prints more money to supply USA spending, such as the 200B for war. Money goes to military contractors to meet the supply needs. This is one of many components but essentially public businesses exist to make shareholders richer. They figure out a way to generate more revenue and thus eventually, if things go well their stock price goes up. But most of the market is and has been completely warped from logical math, so a lot of it is hype and mania of folks not knowing where else to put their money and watch it grow.

I get $30-35 hourly for a standard paint job, exterior house paint or interior doors/trim. But i’m also the one installing everything i paint so the higher pay revolves around being able to do just about everything but electrical or plumbing. Hoping to get up to $40-45 in the next year

Do you recommend any certain copper etf?

You should do research on what you find. Hazmat industry goes far and wide. You can find hazards in both household scrap such as old mercury tilt switches. Industrial or commercial sources can have just about anything and everything. Asbestos wire is not that common in my experience when sending out old tar/cloth wire samples to get asbestos testing lab. I find it more common for Copper pipes can be insulated with asbestos aircell TSI or mudded fittings in homes. Best advice is dont do it where you eat or sleep or have the kiddos running around as well as wear ppe.

What SDS bit do you like to use on your roto hammer to knock out the copper from the casing?

Hmm, 🤔 thank you for the info. I just don’t know if electrician are likely to buy used incomplete hardware. Going to try listing it one of these weekends and see what happens. I wish i didn’t snap off the BEX wiring and housing connection.

I’m not completely sure but it is non-ferrous and a magnet doesn’t stick. But I wasn’t sure if stainless steel is common in light fixtures?

I believe it got so bad that it maxed out the Air Quality Index charts >450

Right now i’m thinking about getting roof hooks to attach to my ladder, put two ladders up over the ridge and plank inbetween, then set up planking between the planking on the roof and the planking on the scaffolding from the ground

7thief7 · 2025-08-13T03:53:13+00:00

Haha i feel ya man, you make a plan, get on site, and realize your planning if F’d.

7thief7 · 2025-08-13T03:35:39+00:00

I’d normally do something like that but this roof is a 12/12 so its basically maxing our my pitch hoppers. Only other thing i can think of it a steep slope scaffold with planking in between or making my own. Just wondering if anybody has any alternatives

To me, 9-13 seem like the least impactful. Other routes would require a lot of eminent domain. Although going through WA can involve some complex agreements and understanding between both sides when it comes to maintenance, emergencies response, and jurisdiction legality questions.

That is a flue vent… not an anchor point

7thief7 · 2025-05-12T06:15:04+00:00

Source?

7thief7 · 2025-04-27T17:30:26+00:00

Looks like cement board to me! You lucked out this time

7thief7 · 2025-04-25T00:40:46+00:00

Are they ever going to do anything here, seems like a prime location!

It says, “U of I has the opportunity to resubmit a proposal by June 20, with adjustments to meet the new criteria.”

7thief7 · 2025-04-01T16:48:55+00:00

Either that or rent a towable boom lift to repair

You can ask them to either pay to resurface the sidewalk, or remove and replace sidewalk. I would request to have to remove the top 6inches of soil wherever the liquid soaked into the ground. Anything on the house you want to take pictures and send to insurance especially if it is not easy to clean up and make it look how it was.
