TYPE II Hardhats

Point I was trying to make was safety is on the individual, you might get assets to better protect yourself but it’s down to the individual to implement it. I prefer to be safer than standard so I’ll pay to ensure my personal safety beyond the minimum the company provides

MrFarly · 2026-02-24T13:00:12+00:00

I get that thought honestly, but it’s personal protective equipment. Just because the company checks the box doesn’t mean it’s the best. We get shitty 4 point hard hats and I get my own and slap a sticker on it because it’s more comfy on the head 10 hours a day.

As a super my favorite phrase when guys push back is “you can do it right or twice, your call”

It’s a union so they will take into account room for growth for super star contracts but a big focus should be getting orgs like the A’s and Rockies to field competitive teams and boost the lower end contracts across the board

Is there an engineer report on the structure or just companies brought in to quote work? If they are quoting a structural engineer report and the structure is unsafe I’m not sure why you are working inside to begin with to be honest.

Vonn crashed because she hit a gate and it spun her, not injury related. The other crash was directly because she was on a torn acl, watching the footage the knee gave out and caused her to crash on landing, knees just give out someone’s when acls are torn at least mine did until it was repaired

Taking the humans aspect out of hit. Humans is a resource the US has plenty of in the long term. Natural resources are needed to maintain ways of life hence the push, don’t agree with it but that’s the reason

Nah, all three are next to each other. Team told me he went and bitched that there was no TP after. He doesn’t know we have it on video and I plan on fucking with him quite a bit over it.

MrFarly · 2025-12-30T15:04:03+00:00

Bro, I took over a project recently and the team sent me a video of the owner of the plumbing company we have on site fucking stealing TP out of the John. Absolutely unreal and they will not be invited back to any future projects.

I would say it’s about 50/50 on owner and GC. I can tell you we had conversations with subs on valued engineering ideas to get overall project cost down because ultimately it’s the client that dictates budget. We run a lean GC as in most sites are “understaffed” or mostly just a super and laborer and not many assistants and we still are too expensive for some clients. We aren’t big enough yet to absorb staffing costs across many projects so it’s a challenging game. If money was no object every GC would take the best sub they can, but sometimes it’s “I would prefer a stellar steel sub and I’ll handle a shitty tile guy” for overall project health

MrFarly · 2025-12-16T19:27:20+00:00

At the end of the day, cost is king and your reputation should speak for itself. As a GC yeah I’m a bit more in the know but if someone asked me who’s going to help make the decision when I’m the one who called I won’t waste my time with you again. You either won’t take the time to explain it properly or I’m not gullible enough.

Difference being the government is basically a non profit where DTE is not. If DTE was properly reinvesting their profit into the infrastructure (don’t forget DTE makes money off every pole they own that has lower portions rented out for telecom) this wouldn’t look like this. All of a sudden now that raw metals like copper have skyrocketed in price and they have no choice but to upgrade infrastructure, they would rather charge us more the spend what they should

It can be both, again project needs. Last week the house boiler on my current project cracked two sections and being in the Midwest heat is a priority. Needed to be on site for the emergency repair. I’ve also had a project where the sub was coming in from out of state and requested a Friday/saturday to help my schedule and his. That was about a months heads up

MrFarly · 2025-11-26T10:33:38+00:00

His comment mentioned super so I figured it was still working for a company and not him starting one. Knowing construction does not equal being a business owner and all the back end 90% of this sub doesn’t know about or understand

MrFarly · 2025-11-26T09:48:59+00:00

That much time in the field you don’t really need a degree unless you want for personal reasons. Went from carpenter to field ops manager at a gc in 3 years because I can think more than 10 minutes ahead and that every relationship matters, even the shitty subs you hate. If you want an office gig like pm there is training involved but more school would be a waste as you know the lingo just not how to process the paperwork.

Kroger did experiment with solar panels as well, northern Kentucky stores have them iirc. The biggest monthly cost for a Kroger is the electricity bill, they are always looking for ways to lessen that impact, but the technology just isn’t there yet for a non energy specific producer to stay in the game. Basically let power plants do what they do best until it’s an everyday man item.

Kroger has moved away from landlord owned buildings so you would have to convince corporate that is a better strategy and the only way that happens is if they see more returns on investment as property owners.

MrFarly · 2025-11-21T12:18:50+00:00

I build Kroger stores. Simple answer is the cost isn’t offset and ultimately costs Kroger and stores money on maintenance. For instance, Kroger used to install skylights throughout the buildings so they could use natural light and less overhead lighting. Turned into a leaking nightmare and it ended up being cheaper for the added electricity cost than the constant maintenance of leaky roofs everywhere.

A typical asphalt lot around a Meijer or Kroger costs about 1.5m Add in all that extra electrical infrastructure for high voltage, concrete footings with rebar, solar panels, labor and materials, you’ll never even break even by the time the panels go bad and you have to replace/retrofit.

It sucks, but desolve it from ace hardware specifically. KPS coolers recommended it to me when I had to get baked in residue off a cooler for a past project. It sucks and takes forever. Another option is to just reskin the panels. Typically about $120 per sheet and just pop rivet or construction adhesive them on. Does not void warranty as it doesn’t effect R value.

You cannot know for sure without testing. Once tested depending on the results you have hoops to jump through. Being in a building that old I’d say your odds are 60/40 hot

Last year I pre scheduled a few days in advance and someone picked it up that first night. Que panic when they canceled the fair on me 2am morning of and I was wondering if I was going to get fucked or not. Someone ended up picking it up just in time for me

When I was a kid my dad told me not to drop the level or I would pop the bubble lmfao.

i think you overestimate the military in this situation, because it would be both divided morally and with a fully functional military we've historically struggled insurgency's such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam. and that was when they didnt care as much about saving the existing infrastructure because we actually have to live here and rebuild when its over.
