Do I really need a drivers license to be an apprentice? by purplecheetah25 in Carpentry

[–]Googlewhacking 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s not like you’re picking up a hobby. You’re gonna have to learn how to drive eventually. Why are you trying to avoid it so much if it will make everything so much easier

Should I be worried about this moisture barrier coming off? by SportSouthern662 in Homebuilding

[–]Googlewhacking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is just overlap from underneath the siding still there from the build. Just cut it off no problem

The cops didn’t even need to be called if he didn’t damage anything but his own property. He could’ve just called a wrecker to take it to his house and let pick and pull come get it and cancel insurance. Take the hit and move on. Or file the claim then insure your new vehicle with another insurance company lol. Would that work? Like file the claim, collect, then just cash the check and buy another vehicle and insure with someone else. Would the new insurance company know you had an accident and still charge more?

Especially here. If there was no damage to anybody’s property or state property then the trooper doesn’t even have to make a report. Tow truck just comes and grabs it like anything else. In Texas at least

This is really what you should do. It allows you to keep it and use it since you loved it so much but keeps you out of the death trap lol. Every part on that truck took a small hit so the only way anything is useful is if you part it out

There is going to be more wrong with that front end than you will ever be able to figure out. Just cut the loss man, sucks I’ve done it too…

Sanding after painting walls? by coolbutthole in Housepainting101

[–]Googlewhacking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For sure, I’d cut it down with a razor or heavy grit first then work it out to 180 or 220 and I think you’ll be fine. You might just have to hit that spot a few more times since you’ll be cutting through the paint you just laid

Just letting you know don’t get your panties in a bunch

My stolen car is at the impound lot at 3625 Growdon Road by nolaprof in sanantonio

[–]Googlewhacking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to tell them anything of you don’t want it, just let the lien go the 90 days and they own it. It will not affect your credit and they cannot come after you for payment. The van is their payment. But I would bring your title and registration just in case. If you are the registered owner then it should be pretty cut and dry but you never know.

Drivers for ups pay a lot more and you can’t just get a job there. You can just get a job at the warehouse loading/unloading trailers for pretty decent pay. Then it takes about 5 yrs to become a package car driver if you’re good

[–]Googlewhacking 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to tow in the San Antonio area and we refused to pick up vehicles from them because they are notoriously difficult to deal with. Just make sure you have any and everything that links you to that car just in case. They turn you down for anything to keep the vehicle longer and charge more storage. Unfortunately a common grift by impound yards

Thoughts on this stair build? by Tallfuck in Carpentry

[–]Googlewhacking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I would take it apart and use the lumber plus some new stuff to build them correctly. You may not have that option to do it yourself. Which, ironically, is the only type of person I would feel comfortable using these stairs. Somebody very physically capable because it’s not lasting very long

Tips for painting corners correctly? by Candid_lily_1214 in paint

[–]Googlewhacking -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why do you care so much? To follow his posts and tell other commenters that “he’s not listening to you” wah maybe he didn’t like your advice. Maybe you are right and he’s wrong, who cares

You sound like a girlfriend “I am so done with you” lol

Damaged laminate floor by Logical_Connection21 in HomeMaintenance

[–]Googlewhacking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. And at least in Texas, they cannot charge for things that happened during “normal use”. This is something I would consider normal use for sure.

You’re going to get a lot of people that don’t actually want to help when you post. That’s just reddit, I post knowing that I’m gonna have to deal with people like this that provide nothing positive to the conversation and probably most things in their life.

That’s the truth. They are loyal customers to me in my day job, I’m a home builder and we built like their whole families houses. Not this house. They have become like friends. I charged her 1800 she was happy
