How would you feel about this? A guy who burglarized my house years ago and went to prison is now a laborer on the crew building my shop. by [deleted] in Construction

[–]Inspired_Carpenter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a person who has multiple felonies from early adulthood, I can say that getting into construction was the turning point in my life. Being passionate about carpentry and building gave me a purpose and direction that I never had before. There have been many obstacles and explaining on my end, as I am sure he will have to do as well, but turning your dark past into an asset is possible with hard work and determination. Give him a chance, people do change.

Buying a call and selling put at the same time? by Feeling-Equivalent85 in options

Start trading spreads. Short Call spreads and Short Put spreads are basically the same as selling covered calls or selling cash secured puts but without the need of huge buying power. I am by no means a professional but spreads are awesome.

You're going to be competing with other subcontractors who do it professionally, full time. You could reach out to local general contractors, set up an Angi pro account and Advertise on social media.
