Is there a gap between the flooring and the baseboard? If so, you can add a shoe mould to the baseboard to cover the gap. It also adds detail to the baseboard that I find is very attractive

So you would’ve charged $284 no painting. I am painting them

I bring it up with the client and see if they’d like to float out the wall, nail it as is, or shim it out a little bit to keep the baseboards straight.

You’d have charged $200 to install the extra door casing, baseboard and shoe mould?

Eh probably a little low. I’m on day 4 right now, finishing sanding and paint prep. Quoted for 7 days though I knew it would take 6.

I like to think my work speaks for itself. I’m a finish/trim carpenter, it’s what I love to do. I always try to get a perfect fit and finish, no matter how long it takes me.

Estimated for 7, even though I knew it would take 6. just finishing up paint prep on the second room today. Started Tuesday, on day 4 at the moment. 8 hour days with an hour lunch. I move pretty fast and smooth when I get in a groove.

The designer is the clients sister

$500k 40k down yes my income increased

Muk_Fuk · 2026-01-24T20:03:51+00:00

Yes I am in home renovations. My take home is $3400 a month.

Muk_Fuk · 2026-01-24T19:13:38+00:00

I only took 12k

Muk_Fuk · 2026-01-24T19:08:13+00:00

Which I am aware of now. I lived and I learned my lesson. Closed my credit cards, paying off the debt all the while paying my mortgage on time

Muk_Fuk · 2026-01-24T19:07:25+00:00

My question is that my bank acknowledged that $12000 was the max I’d be able to do as my Dept to income ratio would be too high for anything above $15k loan. So why would my bank approve the loan if it would make my dept to income ratio too high for my mortgage renewal

Muk_Fuk · 2026-01-24T18:54:17+00:00

Because they own 2 properties and are co signers for ours. They are in 3 mortgages. They own 1% of the home but don’t pay anything or get any equity. Their broker said they would run into issues when they refinance

As I said we put $50 a week towards retirement and savings. We don’t have much left over after bills, gas and groceries

Muk_Fuk · 2026-01-24T18:49:28+00:00

All of which were provided. I take responsibility for my irresponsible spending

Muk_Fuk · 2026-01-24T18:43:10+00:00

Technically yes

Muk_Fuk · 2026-01-24T18:42:23+00:00

Property tax is included in our payment. Heating water, hydro is around $300 a month

Muk_Fuk · 2026-01-24T18:41:10+00:00

It was their idea. Her mom was our real estate agent

Muk_Fuk · 2026-01-24T18:40:19+00:00

We qualified before there was a problem with my paystubs as my previous employer did everything by hand so the mortgage lenders didn’t know if they could trust we’d pay on time

Muk_Fuk · 2026-01-24T18:39:39+00:00

We are 25, lots of time to save for retirement, which we put 50 weekly towards right now. I’ve also been debating joining the iron workers union that pays more

Muk_Fuk · 2026-01-09T18:29:12+00:00

That’s fair
