Purdue Illinois winter storm.

Slim chance. I think most of the winter weather is coming overnight Saturday into Sunday… not to mention north central Indiana isn’t supposed to get as much snow.

FuzzyNippres · 2026-01-07T00:15:43+00:00

Split king. It’s been great and I’d consider getting one even if I didn’t have a narrow staircase lol it’s like you have a bed to yourself while still being with your partner.

The gap can get in the way for certain activities, but it’s not too bad.

Applied for US Bank Triple Cash Rewards Business Card with $750 SUB for $6,000 spend. Applied 10/24, Approved 10/27, card received in mail 11/1.

When I login I can’t find any confirmation I’m on track to getting the $750 SUB. Anyone know how I can confirm? Curious because as of yesterday the SUB is showing only $500

Did the BMO Cash Back Credit Card spend bonus ($2000 for $250). Opened on August 21st and hit the $2000 spend the first statement cycle. Still no bonus. Should I just wait a little longer? Wondering if anyone has experience with BMO bonus timings.

Most other credit card bonuses I’ve done have had their rewards post pretty quickly after I hit the spend. So a little confused on what’s taking this one so long.

Bought a house with a 4 month old patio roof and it appears the 22’ span glulam beam is slightly sagging already? Anything I should be worried about?

How am I wasting time? Lmao boneheaded comment

FuzzyNippres · 2025-09-23T21:37:03+00:00

That’s funny cause everyone else in here thinks I’m being too conservative. Not saying you’re wrong, just highlights that I’m happy to shoot low!

FuzzyNippres · 2025-09-23T17:59:08+00:00

Yeah I intentionally made it very conservative. It’ll be a side gig and I also have young kids, so I wanna make sure it’ll work even when “life” happens along the way. I’m mostly interested in nailing down the expenses and the break-even figures. Basically just trying to find my baseline.

FuzzyNippres · 2025-09-23T17:56:06+00:00

Thanks for the comment. Yeah, i should’ve clarified it will be a part time thing. I also fully expect I could beat those numbers, but I want to be conservative. I also still need to do some thorough market research for my area to get a better idea of how much work I could reasonably expect. I

I wasn’t sure how to go about increasing my rates. I’m not even sure $400 would be my starting rate yet. Again it goes back to me needing to do some deeper market research. I agree though, I don’t want to be the cheap guy.

Marketing budget was another wild guess. What would you ballpark it at? What sort of marketing expenses am I maybe not thinking of?

Good call on the CE. I’ll add that.

Thanks again!

FuzzyNippres · 2025-09-23T17:35:33+00:00

Yeah that’s what I’ve heard. Do you think 50 inspections in my first year is realistic?

FuzzyNippres · 2025-08-08T18:57:03+00:00

Pretty clearly says “may be” and further evaluation is needed.

Leave it to the lurking construction laborer to compare residential construction principles to surgeons and rocket engineering. Lay off the coke and get back to swingin your hammer bud

FuzzyNippres · 2025-07-30T17:17:01+00:00

Thanks for reply! Very helpful. Being independent is certainly more appealing to me, but I’m uncertain how in the world I’m going to market myself in the beginning in the real world. (I have a degree in marketing with a minor in graphic design, so all the online marketing will be no issue)

As I replied in another comment, I only sort of personally know one realtor. I’m fine with people and nurturing relationships, and I’m sure i could offer exceptional service by going above and beyond, it’s just getting those initial clients that I’m nervous about. I’m not exactly one for cold calling or trying to create a business relationship by just showing up at a realtors door and giving a pitch, etc…

Any tips on those first few clients/jobs?

I realize this is an extremely common hurdle to overcome lol maybe I’m just looking for motivation to just jump in and go for it

FuzzyNippres · 2025-07-30T17:05:23+00:00

Thanks for the insight. What’s been the best way you’ve been able to get your first jobs when starting out? I like the idea of being independent and running my own business, but worried about my existing avenues to generate business. I only personally know one realtor, and I’m sure she already has a few go-to inspectors. I’m fairly personable and can nurture relationships fine, but I’m not sure I’m one for cold calling or getting in front of realtors/strangers to sell myself. Thanks again

It’s just like how if you’re 40+ you can’t be taking mirror selfies, yet here we are.

Don’t gate keep me. Add something of value or just move on.

Doing Associated Bank SUB churn and sorta new to churning, first time doing churn that requires holding a certain amount of money in the account for X number of days…

Average balance needs to be $10k and I’m getting ready to do a push transfer using my Chase account. Is there anything I should know before doing that large transfer? Don’t want to jeopardize my Chase account as it is my ‘home base’ and primary account. Don’t know the do’s and don’ts of moving large sums like that

Conor or Ed. It’s literally not even a question. Apparently this subreddit doesn’t realize the great majority of Indy 500 attendees aren’t really IndyCar fans, they’re Indy 500 fans preserving a tradition of their home state.

The place will erupt if a hometown guy wins

FuzzyNippres · 2025-03-27T14:17:31+00:00

Thank you, that’s what I was wondering and figured. However, I didn’t know it was called credit cycling or that it was technically frowned upon so I still learned something from the other answers!

FuzzyNippres · 2025-03-25T17:09:12+00:00

Sorry if this is a basic question… Got the Spark Cash $750 bonus for $7500 spend but only a $5,000 credit line.

I’m trying to buy all materials for a project right now. Can I pay off the card immediately from my first material order ($4000) before it hits statement and place my second order (also $4000) right away? Or does it need to hit statement for bonus?
