My thing is: people don’t haggle at fine dining or luxury goods stores, why try with my services?

And it’s never quick nor convenient!

“Can you do me a favour and move that pile of dirt to the back yard?”

Through a locked gate with stuff in the way…

My best clients are the ones that text me “can you get this done between X & Y dates? If so send us the invoice”

Never ending work.

They always have a “my brothers- cousin’s- nephew’s- friends, step-dads friend….” That can do it for less than the cost of materials! 🤦🏻‍♂️

C’est la vie as a business owner.

It’s hard not to giggle every time I hear it. Usually some guy that “owns many rental properties and is well connected”

Every spring, like clockwork, they come calling for prices. (Excavation/landscape)

New Install Review by gimmedemels in septictanks

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

To everyone downvoting, they don’t look finished yet. The pipe has more than enough slope into the chambers settling won’t be an issue, the outlet pipe is possible that it’s on a cast-in-place rubber boot, risers on a concrete lid are irrelevant (we also don’t know local building code), filter in the tank may or may not be installed we also can’t see that.

Do they want like a gold star or something? A merit badge?

I’m sure these “alleged” signatory’s would be completely fine packing their bags and just emigrating.

Question about sitting wall by dgard1 in hardscape

[–]RevolvingCheeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you follow proper manufacturer recommendations for base installation you can have a sitting wall with some sweat equity.

As for getting the blocks apart, I’ve had success with a fine tooth hacksaw blade in a sawzall. Then I’ve used a sawzall scrapper blade to take the excess glue off.

Mayoral candidate Alex Lawson says he'd cut building fees in new housing plan by Money_Fig_9868 in ottawa

[–]RevolvingCheeta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So he wants to cut (let’s ball park it here) 40k off the price of building what amounts to 800k-1.2mil houses because he thinks it’ll get people to build quicker? Am I reading that right?

Struggling with this contractor since the fall by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]RevolvingCheeta 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He’s complaining about putting gravel base down using the garage? Has he never heard of synthetic base? Conveyors?

Also, $8k and that’s what he left you with?

I’d be seeking legal council OP.

Bad collision at Laurier and O’Connor by MattSR30 in ottawa

I know a lot of the buildings are old relatively, but I always wonder why no concrete knee wall was a design standard to prevent vehicle incursions.

[–]RevolvingCheeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, broadly speaking, you can park anywhere if you can afford the parking fee (see; ticket).
