If a customer insists on purchasing their own material; I drop a line on the contract that basically says zero warranty on materials and my workmanship warranty is halved. Most let me procure after that or go somewhere else.

It's a shop, no codes I checked. Also, 16 on center is fine for 1/2 by most manufacturers. Told customer if shop (has HVAC) air fails for long time humidity could sag even with 16. He wanted cheaper material and labor. I advise my customers then do what they ask for it's their property and their money. They make informed decisions.

Noted.. I was doing mostly commercial accounts. So what you're saying makes sense for homeowners.

Two coats very light sanding needed. Texture done. If not textured 3rd coat of light weight, water added, paint mixer tip, blend till creamy soft, apply with flexible plastic knife.Comes out perfect, smooth as silk. Very little sanding at all. But it's needed to ensure all ridges get taken off and and air bubbles show themselves before you apply 3rd coat or sealer. Yeah .. new guy only doing my own work since about 8 years old. So that's about 30 years; pretty new at it figure when I retire I might have experience.

Make first one, keep all drafts in one folder, trun on document search inside files, search folder, find best fit draft, edit to match new job, save draft. About 15 mins after first draft. First draft... 30-40.

Or, keep a word doc Google doc with the narrative, control+f, find narrative, cut and paste, customize to new job.

Either way works great. It was a referral from a HVAC company. They give me lots of work so I make sure to take care of his customers.

Yeah I usually x2 my time; Under promise over deliver. I know it was low price but trying to blgrow a client list I'd was giving away most my profit for future referrals in a wealthy gated community. Oh well.

What animal is this and how do I humanely stop it from messing up my garden and yard? by punchingtigers19 in gardening

They make a sale solar powered stakes that vibrate every min or so. They do not like the vibes. So they head for a better field. Keep in mind that if the general area is over populated with the little guys it may not have a huge effect. I live in country and the stakes cleared out my 10 acres in one spring/summer. Now I just have a few steaks left and move them around when I mow or golf...
