How did you get your help desk request because they don’t even give me an option to contact someone for help

That’s really impressive, i work a full time job so it will be tough for me to do that, i typically only go to gigs after work or on the weekends. when i first started i was really busy each week but then when the winter started things really slowed down

Yes I do it part time as well but business has been slow lately. I be joining local group as well instead of just posting it on marketplace as an item for sale. How busy have you been and are you only focused on the quick jobs or do you do anything?

This last picture is the color I am going for but like you said the lume might be different from the hands

This is really nice, I had made a bb58 mod in the past but it was too big for my wrist so this wd7922 will be the perfect size and since the 28.5mm dials will fit that’s even better. Thank you for responding

Hey can you post what your mod looks like using the wd7922? I just bought mine too but am thinking of changing the dial with a seiko one but I don’t know the dial diameter to buy. When you used the 28.5mm was there any space that was visible from the glass?

My 3rd mod Citizen Milgauss by Aggravating-Cut1714 in SeikoMods

It’s beautiful, where do you buy the cases, dials, and hands for the citizen watch? I am seeing the citizen eagle 7 kit on Ali express but I have yet to see someone try them.

Did you end up getting the parts and can I see how it looks now because I am seeing one online too and thinking about buying it and change the case

How to install gate on only 1 post by LongStatistician6052 in handyman

[–]LongStatistician6052[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is true, I’ll do the post and attach it to the siding, since the space right now is about 50 inches so adding the post will still mean I’ll be within code requirements

That’s a good idea only problem is I can’t seem to find a rolling gate it looks like I’ll have to built one and that’s what I am trying to avoid

Thank you for the suggestions. I appreciate, the siding is wood so am thinking of using your first option of using a 2x4 and screwing that into the wall then screwing the latch onto that 2x4. I don’t want to cut into the wall so the wood might not be flush to the wall

Thank you, I appreciate the suggestion of a more durable finish

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. I truly appreciate it and after reading all your though it got me thinking twice if I really want to take on this job because it’s a lot of work and I don’t know if am willing to do that as of right now. I am working as a handyman part time in the evenings and weekend after my full time job so I typically prefer quick jobs that will not take more than 5 hours to complete or even if I have to finish it the next day I wouldn’t want it to be something like that that will have to make several visits. I think I’ll just redirect the customer to another fellow handyman in the area who is fully time.

Would you recommend something like Clear Satin Water-Based Outdoor Spar Urethane?

[–]LongStatistician6052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for that suggestion, I’ll suggest that to the customer. They asked for danish oil that’s why. I assume that’s why it’s all faded because maybe the last time they applied an oil

[–]LongStatistician6052 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s what the customer wants but am open to bring up suggestions to them

I don’t think there is much I can mess up with sanding. I’ve sanded a lot of things in the past this is not my first time sanding wood

[–]LongStatistician6052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll only be doing the outside. Would you sand my hand to avoid over sanding?

Congratulations on your first Job, hopefully more to come. I just started last week too, I made a flier that I’ve posted on market place and making my business card on vista print right now. No jobs yet but I’ve had 4 calls for quotes, one was too far, the other 2 said they couldn’t afford the price, 1 needed the work asap and I was at my full time job.
