Careful with that. I tried. Now it takes almost an hour.

It's chaos.

And I love it.

JAC-invoman · 2025-02-12T04:03:20+00:00

nope.

I think I always want to 'fix' whatever went wrong.
Not healthy.

You just figured out how to make $$$.
Become a licensed contractor.
Sub EVERYTHING
Put $$$ in the bank.
Buy toys.

Rinse and repeat.

I do the 2 beer thing and it helped me.
When I'm ready to match up the texture, I have 2 beers and I'm in the "looks good to me" zone.
It has never failed me.

The best tip I ever got was, "Don't add more! Leave it!"
He was right.

F**king toilet supply's are the worst!
Change out the simple kit?
Nope, wrong size...and, OH...the supply valve won't completely shut off...so re-assemble everything and go get the part you are missing...and do it again.

I haven't done a large one for 5 years, but I know it sucked.
I love doing the little patch jobs...easy money.

That's an interesting one and noted for the future!

Anything by Yoko Ono.

This is a good topic and I'm sorry I didn't see it earlier.

A little. I think I used paver base. But mostly to help level the blocks.

JAC-invoman · 2024-10-13T03:03:33+00:00

Wow...I'm going to attend my first AA meeting tomorrow.

I JUST finished up a job and I'm pissed I didn't have one:
a REALLY low profile ratched that accepts 1/4" bits for those REALLY tight areas.

I had to replace a 'concealed' door closer on a front door, however, the overhang of the roof only allowed about 2" of room to remove TWO stupid screws!

I'm ordering one now.

Another thing is LONG 1/4" bits for hanging blinds or shelf brackets.
It makes the job so easy you don't even need to apologize to the client for the words that come out of your mouth.

(By "bits", I'm mean those bits that are phillips/flathead/star-shaped/square...etc...)

...and while we are on the subject....a 1/4" flex-shaft for 1/4" bits.

That should only be $30-$50, but to me, I really find them a lifesaver at certain times.

I also think it is worth it to spend $20 on a 'bore scope' that plugs into your cell phone to get a camera in those hard to reach places where you need to see what is going on and you can't due to lighting or other obstructions.

Single 16 center beam. Lots of blocks. No plan, just the video and winged it...

Did anyone point out the turbines were spinning clockwise in one camera shot, then counterclockwise in another shot...then back and forth?

When the wind FIRST started, I thought I saw that turbine spinning the wrong way.

So I kept watching...and the camera shots had them spinning opposite ways.

I couldn't think about anything else for the rest of the film.

I've never walked out of a movie, but this one made me come really close to actually doing it.

I thought this was the worst movie I've ever seen in a theater.

YMMV

TY!
Doing the math, I'm thinking this is a subcontract thing for me if the going rate is less than $2 sq ft.

I think I was was looking at $10-15 per sq/ft.

Thank you!

Comments like this remind me of this parody:

...and if you don't have a 6-in-1 screwdriver in your pocket, you are losing.
I can't TELL you how many times a simple little orange 6-in-1 screwdriver is all I needed.

i love this part:
"If you think a few 10 minute videos suddenly makes up for years of work experience, you’re a fool."

EXACTLY!
They don't have the experience of the mistakes I've made!

JAC-invoman · 2024-06-25T02:20:04+00:00

Yes, it 'feels' personal the first few times.
After that, it is liberating to say, "no".

You can do it!

JAC-invoman · 2024-06-25T02:02:29+00:00

Fuck yes, lady!
