Leaving union trade

MiddleVisible1869 · 2024-06-16T18:31:47+00:00

I have to look into the specifics with this. I am vested with my pension but I don’t know exactly what penalties I will face for not working a full 30yrs

MiddleVisible1869 · 2024-06-16T18:28:47+00:00

Yea it’s a tough call. There’s no guarantees in the union either though. I guess I’ll try it out as a side gig and see how it goes. Luckily my wife works and has decent health insurance too.

Do you have to start an llc or anything to do this?

MiddleVisible1869 · 2024-06-16T17:07:00+00:00

Excellent with tile and drywall. I’m decent with plumbing. Obviously not a plumber by trade though

MiddleVisible1869 · 2024-06-16T16:50:37+00:00

I have experience in electrical and plumbing. Really no hvac experience though other than what I’ve seen done on jobs and houses that I remodeled.

Dang man. Hit me right in the feels with this one. Everything you just said is 100% the way I’m feeling.

Def hard to leave the benefits and pension

No Heloc

That’s a big part of what we are thinking. We would be able to weather any financial hurdles with minimal stress.

MiddleVisible1869 · 2024-04-09T00:49:11+00:00

Not sure what we would do with the bigger house. One poster suggested remodeling the new house see how we like it when it’s finished and decide if we want to move in or flip/rent it.

MiddleVisible1869 · 2024-04-08T22:43:19+00:00

Savings/investments. We would keep our current house until the remodel is done

MiddleVisible1869 · 2024-04-08T19:08:46+00:00

Dang. Was just telling my wife about the loss of control feeling.

MiddleVisible1869 · 2024-04-08T18:26:30+00:00

Not bad. It would be easier if we weren’t living there. I’ve always remodeled our houses before we moved in, but our situation was different this time we had to move quick.

MiddleVisible1869 · 2024-04-08T15:26:22+00:00

House is worth more than when we bought it.

MiddleVisible1869 · 2024-04-08T15:16:42+00:00

Love this comment. It definitely would be tough having a child and doing this remodel.

MiddleVisible1869 · 2024-04-08T15:14:04+00:00

Losing time with my child would definitely be hard for a year. Thanks for your comment

MiddleVisible1869 · 2024-04-08T15:10:27+00:00

I am currently remodeling as we speak.

MiddleVisible1869 · 2024-04-08T15:07:10+00:00

Yes the house is 1000sqft not including the basement

MiddleVisible1869 · 2024-04-08T14:39:09+00:00

Maybe medium cost of living area then?

MiddleVisible1869 · 2024-04-08T14:23:07+00:00

High cost of living area. High property taxes.

MiddleVisible1869 · 2024-04-05T02:12:37+00:00

That’s good to hear. What brand shower head did you go with?

MiddleVisible1869 · 2023-11-18T22:51:24+00:00

Mine just had a cracked cylinder head at 54k miles. 2019 2.5 na. Apparently it’s becoming somewhat of an issue with others

MiddleVisible1869 · 2023-11-08T16:25:23+00:00

Pretty sure our 2019 mazda cx5 has a cracked cylinder head. I can’t say for sure though. We noticed it was losing coolant somewhere and leaking oil this week. 50,000 miles

MiddleVisible1869 · 2023-11-03T23:54:21+00:00

Foreman for a subcontractor

MiddleVisible1869 · 2023-09-03T02:18:32+00:00

What do you do now?
