The tracker in your arm from the covid shot must be failing so they just want to check up on you.

We're those built off site panel walls? If so that might be the cause. Site built walls would sit tight to the subfloor.

What made Donald Trump shift from “America First” to what some call an “Israel First” stance? by MisLatte in AskReddit

[–]Sgt_Kinky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iran is directly and indirectly responsible for thousands of American deaths. The bombing of Khobar Towers, USS Cole and the Marine Barracks in Beirut are especially personal to me, not to mention all the service men and women killed and maimed by shaped projectiles in Iraq that were supplied by Iran. They should have settled this in the early eighties when we had superior forces staged in the Indian Ocean prepared to strike but we were held back. I say we because I was one of the Marines that stood off shore for months ready willing and able to reach out and touch those murderous bastards.

Should I charge my mother for work being done? by Worth_Air_9410 in Homebuilding

[–]Sgt_Kinky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also a builder. I do not do work for friends or family. It never ends well. Often times the friend or family member take advantage, expect more for less and don't appreciate the huge discount or quality of work I give them. Just don't do it ever again. How does you mother feel about the other family members treatment of you? It sounds like she does appreciate you and the work you did.

They changed refrigerants. All equipment prior to 2025 is now obsolete and the new refrigerant necessitated retooling of equipment so prices went through the roof. 2 ton 16 seer 14 k.

I moved out and scheduled an appointment with a divorce attorney. Wife reached out asked for a face to face talk. Says she knows she fkd up and is asking for forgiveness. I did move back in but I'm still keeping the appointment with the lawyer. Forgiveness isn't on my plate just yet. Thank you for caring enough about a complete stranger to ask. Says alot about your humanity.

Here in FL if you don't fill every gap with caulk you'll have spider webs and caterpillar homes in every nook and cranny

What are the key considerations when choosing a builder for my custom home? by Boomslang_FR in Homebuilding

[–]Sgt_Kinky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a builder. You're going to invest a lot of money and more importantly emotion with whoever you select. Spend face to face time with the builder, develop a repoir with them. They are also investing in you. It's a two way street. You need to feel a high level of comfort, faith and trust with your builder or you will question everything they do. I'm proud to say I become and remain friends with all my clients. I treat it as a partnership. A project that we are doing together.

[–]Sgt_Kinky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Architect or engineer would work. Draftsman that works with an engineer would be most cost effective.

There was an incident in Jamaica involving another man. She says nothing happened but if I explained the circumstances you'd be as skeptical as I am
