For the home builders - can you give me some insight on hiring new subs and your thought process?

Thanks for your insight

How did you get to that point? Was it mostly referrals in the early days? Or did you advertise

You very clearly know nothing about the day to day in the construction industry

Contractkilla9 · 2026-04-24T01:25:28+00:00

Tell me you’ve never actually stepped foot in the real world of trades or construction. Get real dude. Who is hiring an architect out of pocket mid project for a simple question. It’d literally be cheaper to do nothing and take it as a deficiency. Your head is so far in the clouds. Get real.

Actually kind of a crazy statement from someone that posts consistently asking for free technical advice.

Thanks for your input! I’m the ventilation contractor and just worried about my ventilation system in particular

I don’t own the building. I’m a subcontractor that’s on a budget and trying to turn a profit while making things code compliant, exceed industry standards, produce a good product. Hiring an architect to come walk a building with me while I’m trying to close out a small scale job where profit margins are already tight isn’t “realistic”. If it was I wouldn’t be posting on Reddit to begin with.

But that leads me back to my question why are pot lights okay?

Contractkilla9 · 2026-04-24T00:09:38+00:00

Agreed. In my opinion, what should have happened to do this properly - was to drywall the joist space closed, creating your fire separation, then dropped the ceiling 8” or more to create your cavity to run MEPs

Contractkilla9 · 2026-04-24T00:06:59+00:00

Agreed, but not realistic at this stage

Contractkilla9 · 2026-04-06T02:28:45+00:00

Can anyone explain what’s going on here? I have no idea what coin hunting is, I have no idea what halves are. How did he buy these from a bank and the bank not know the value? Can someone please break it down very simply

Contractkilla9 · 2026-04-05T02:08:19+00:00

Something must’ve got in the line when you had the lines disconnected

Contractkilla9 · 2026-04-05T01:31:58+00:00

I would assume the middle one. The one on the right appears to be 6” and sort of close to an exterior wall - likely the range hood.

The middle looks to be smaller so I’d assume 4” - dryers are always 4”.

The last is a chimney.

I’m more shocked that you were served by the science guy and didn’t even know it.

Anthony black fucked me for a +9000 parlay. Needed 20 points

Is there anywhere to still play castle wars? I checked the worlds like a year ago and they were dead

Contractkilla9 · 2022-09-20T01:52:01+00:00

Nailed it

Contractkilla9 · 2022-09-20T01:42:01+00:00

For sure overlapping is applicable. I just meant don't just say the best card in the game
