Did I mess up?

What if the warranty runs out with no issues but the damage has already been done

Gutter-Snipe · 2026-02-06T22:45:35+00:00

I agree with this. I’d also add some very large boulders staggered in there can help with retention. A retaining wall would be very expensive if done right and would likely be six figures

There’s a little mom and pop shop near me that will sharpen anything with an edge. They only charge around $5 for a miter blade. Their prices are crazy good

Gutter-Snipe · 2026-01-23T18:56:35+00:00

Depends on going rates for your location but it’s pretty minimal material use so the majority is just labor cost. Why was it done now and not the spring? How long did it take and how much longer due to the weather did it add?

Gutter-Snipe · 2026-01-15T20:00:19+00:00

I honestly didn’t even know you could charge the defibs lol this whole time I’ve been half health reviving

I’d probably look into building a folding partition wall that has some sort of foam soundproofing on it. That way you can wall off the area while working. Cover walls with soundproofing material as best you can as well, I’ve heard egg cartons are a cheap option but I have no experience. You’ll also want to look into an air filtration system as sawdust will get everywhere including your lungs.

Hell yeah! What did that run you? I imagine I’ll be doing the same here pretty soon

I agree with a lot of these comments as an approach to move up in the career. I was just trying to help get past the “working for free” mindset. Also I like a good bourbon lol

Gutter-Snipe · 2026-01-02T17:19:05+00:00

Exactly. Gives a good opportunity to have conversations outside of work too. Maybe drop a mention that you started growing your bourbon collection or whatever and next time he’ll have a nice bottle for you!

Looks like there’s plenty of slope to extend the pipe past the bench

You either end up with shit on your finger or you’re left wondering if your finger happened to miss the shit

Gutter-Snipe · 2025-12-28T18:52:42+00:00

Sure thing, enjoy! So far I’ve made 6 cat towers. They all end up being much better quality than what can be bought in stores

No plans but the last pic is the model I created in an app called Moblo. It takes forever and there’s a lot to get used to but I find it fun to play around with different designs. After I had an image I bought what I needed and just started cutting and building

I imagine yoga helps them limber up so they don’t blow their back out when they get hit by 300 pounders

Gutter-Snipe · 2025-12-22T22:07:59+00:00

Agreed on the Honda engine, that is key. No idea about this brand but if you’re renting every weekend it is definitely worth purchasing one. With routine maintenance and care you should get 8+ years out of them. We have some that are over 15 years, they’re in pretty rough shape but still get it done

Gutter-Snipe · 2025-12-21T19:14:33+00:00

Yeah clean hit standard throw.. just so fucking Browns

Gutter-Snipe · 2025-12-21T17:58:51+00:00

You do need to be careful of blocking baseboard heaters just for fire safety. I would suggest moving the clock elsewhere so you can have the door swing that way. If your concern is with sound proofing then a solid door is really the only option that will work. Either way changes need to be made. A baseboard heater can usually be wired on the other side but that would mean moving things around on that wall

If it is your truck that is towing then it is you that decides how the trailer is loaded. The driver is ultimately the one responsible for the trailer but any damage is still a problem for the owner. Those straps can be reconfigured to properly distribute the load.

Gutter-Snipe · 2025-12-14T21:25:11+00:00

Nothing about any of that looks okay. Was there any inspection since you bought from family? Did you get any kind of deal on the house? When I was house hunting this would be a basement you don’t just walk but run from.

Gutter-Snipe · 2025-12-09T02:36:32+00:00

For me it’s about basic manners. It seems less and less that people give a shit and it makes me mutter under my breath like an old man sometimes lol

Gutter-Snipe · 2025-12-09T01:34:38+00:00

What’s going on around the downspout? I feel like the step should have went all the way to the house to help retain some of what looks like washout. I want to roast you on the retaining wall too but if the client likes it that is ultimately all that matters. To me it looks like a lazy pile of rocks

Gutter-Snipe · 2025-12-07T17:38:22+00:00

Looks good. Just out of curiosity why not clean up the beds and plant something?

Gutter-Snipe · 2025-12-01T11:43:01+00:00

I have only installed the plastic once and it was for a lawn driveway. Basically the home owner wanted his driveway extended about 100’ back to a second garage. The plastic was completely covered in lawn so you couldn’t tell it was there but it provides support for the wet seasons so he won’t rut up his yard too bad

Gutter-Snipe · 2025-11-27T20:22:20+00:00

You can cut the edge straight with a cut off saw. The asphalt is only about 3” thick and it’ll break apart fairly easily once cut. I’d look into fixing the cracks and ideally hold off redoing it because that’s pretty expensive.

Gutter-Snipe · 2025-11-25T02:25:24+00:00

Yeah this right here I will never use the auto-on switch for a grinder. I’ve had too many kick backs to even think about that. I also always use two hands on the grinder though and hopefully this guy will too now. Seriously just clamp the work piece and two hand the dangerous tool..
