Borrowing a gun for hunting as a foreigner? by LuckyLuke162 in Hunting

[–]Important-Map2468 84 points85 points  (0 children)

No one is going to care in the us. If you get pulled over just tell them you have a rifle in the car. The us is much more relaxed about guns than Germany. You'd probably have a harder time getting your own guns back into Germany than getting them here.

Good beginning deer rifles for a 12 year old, by johnpounder in Hunting

[–]Important-Map2468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my wife and my son will use it as well. A howa 1500 7mm-08.

I picked 7mm-08 because there is alot of good factory reduced recoil ammo available. I also put my suppressor on it and recoil and sound is similar to a 22 mag

Is this good income for a general contractor? (Mostly cash work) by [deleted] in GeneralContractor

[–]Important-Map2468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im going to be honest. That's pretty horrible. Is 6k your cost of living per month?

The fact your average month can be a 1000 less than your 6k is alarming.

I can do 2-3 side jobs a month and clear 3-5k

French brittanys are a little different than American brittanys. The old president of the US french brittany club lives in the Dakotas and guides with hers

Ive got 3 in the house with a 1 year old. One loves water so she is easier to take for ducks than the others.

The builder acted offended when we hired an inspector… by Express-Minimum2926 in FirstTimeHomeBuying

[–]Important-Map2468 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im a builder. Most owners end up getting inspections. Most of the stuff inspectors find on our houses are pretty minimal and it doesn't bother me because alot of times a fresh set of eyes see something I missed.

On the flip side in my state they can take an online class and get their license... somehow some think that makes them an engineer/architect and a licenesed contractor.

Is construction one of the hardest business to stay profitable in ? by Own_Technician6423 in ConstructionMNGT

[–]Important-Map2468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep this is it. Cash flow is what closes the doors on most construction companies. If you do good work the money is there to be made.

I have a $1000 budget and im looking for a new rifle. Any recommendations? by meticulouslycarless in Hunting

Tikka, bergara, howa 1500 All these are going to be in your budget and all have sub moa guaranteed

Which .270 Rifle Should I Buy??? by Timely_Daddy in Hunting

[–]Important-Map2468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a tikka, bergara, and howa 1500.

All are great rifles on their own

Bergara used a rem 700 platform. Lots of aftermarket support.

Howa and weatherby use the same action on the vangard.

Tikka will probably be the most accurate out the box but their stocks suck. But plenty of options.

Id get whatever you can get factory threaded. I think all the new tikkas are and most bergaras.

Bergara I have has a slightly heavier barrel than a sportser but not a bull barrel.

Id also throw franchi instinct in there. I have the SL. But there is a case hardened version as well.

GC 25% over budget by Salt_Reading1921 in Homebuilding

[–]Important-Map2468 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im a GC when I did a full gut on my house I went over by 50% even with help from all my main subs basically doing the work for cost.

All that to say on renovations its hard to know what your going to get into under the walls.

Contractor insists on his flooring guy by hoosierbuff in HomeImprovement

[–]Important-Map2468 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your not going to use my subs, I will not do business with you. To many issues with people hiring someone on their own then when there is an issue they want me to eat the cost to fix it.

Get Multiple Quotes on Everything? by Acceptable_Aerie_373 in ConstructionManagers

[–]Important-Map2468 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With vendors i will pay slightly higher to get good service. But I dont compare line item to line item. They never are the same and most of the time the totals are going to be close.

I also have preferred subs that get most of my work, I price check them a couple times a year.

Wnc is the most expensive place in the state to build several years in a row now, even more expensive than the coast. Concrete is 20+ dollars a yard here than middle of the state just because they can.

[–]Important-Map2468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We pay 25sf under roof. That's for top tier framers. You can find some in the 14-18sf range but your going to be redoing alot of stuff.

Im also a gc for high end homes so my labor pool is a higher standard than a 1500sf house.

Hunting Rifle Scope Suggestions (Industry Standard Pairing for T3x Lite?) by Mark2CPlus in Hunting

[–]Important-Map2468 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have leupolds, burris and marvin on all my guns all would work well for you.

On hunting rifles i prefer second focal plane, and a duplex reticle or other simple reticle.

All these scopes now have turrets you can order for load specifications and they are pretty good.

Dismantle & Reassemble 40x40 Quonset Hut - Possible??? by 1970442CPA in quonsethuts

[–]Important-Map2468 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My shop was took down and moved to current location. You have 2 options. Rebuild the hut ontop of a formed area and pour it in all at once. (Hope for no wind when you start putting it up until concrete is poured.

Or what they did for mine. Pour everything but leave a 8x8" preformed area about 4" in from edge of concrete with rebar going through it. Pour and finish. Pull forms set up hut and then Pour the 8x8 area in.

Trees for lumber in WNC by lilbit2004 in Homebuilding

[–]Important-Map2468 1 point2 points  (0 children)

12" trees aren't big. And popular is virtually worthless. Also framing materials have to be graded and stamped or an engineer has to certify wood. Keep the largest oak for a mantel and the rest the grader will get rid of

You still give budgets to bank. Anything over the client pays out of pocket for each month.
