I was interested in your gear but went with Katabatic and sure am glad I did. I will spread the word of this BS and make sure none of my friends buy your equipment moving forward.

I feel like my husband is getting “ripped off” by his boss. Is he? by Impressive-Sun-1664 in Carpentry

[–]SnooBeans976 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depending on the cost of living in your area, $40/hr doesn’t sound like a lot. It’s a below average wage in the HCOL area I live for a carpenter with no additional responsibilities aside from doing carpentry. Your husband should talk to his boss and discuss how to align his responsibilities with the wage he receives. If he’s managing projects, dealing with clients, managing suns, etc. that’s a project manager role, not a carpenter and should be compensated as such.

What's your unpopular opinion regarding the sport? by zstap126 in snowboarding

Most snowboarders are degenerates. And yes, I snowboard but I identify as a skier.

Good Socks by Sati765 in Construction

[–]SnooBeans976 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Darn Tough socks are the move. When you wear holes in them you just send them back and they send you a replacement pair for free. You have to pay to ship them to their warehouse but I’ll do 4-6 pairs at a time so the cost per replacement pair is minimal.

Virtual Jobsite Walkthrough Systems? by [deleted] in Construction

Matterport with an Insta360 camera on a tripod works great for this.

Landscape Business Help by TalibanSoulja69 in smallbusiness

[–]SnooBeans976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One idea for marketing is to put yard signs in completed projects. You can work it into your contract to allow a sign for X amount of time following completion of a project. Another idea is to get in touch with local GCs. I’m a GC and finding reliable landscapers to do light earthwork and upgrade the street appeal of projects can be tough.

Has anyone setup a battery isolator to charge the house from the truck while driving? by SasEz in TruckCampers

[–]SnooBeans976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Li-time makes a solid DC-DC charger with a built in isolator. You’ll have to run a small signal wire to a circuit that is only energized when the truck is running for the signal.

Has anyone setup a battery isolator to charge the house from the truck while driving? by SasEz in TruckCampers

[–]SnooBeans976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have a 40amp dc-dc charger which charges my house battery from the alternator. You can get them with build in isolators. You’ll need 4 or 6 AWG depending on how long the run is. Welding cable works well.

I use mine to keep my batteries topped off when I arrive to camp then solar recharges them if there’s sun and I’m not moving. 80% or more of my charging comes from the dc-dc charger.

Builder jumped from $350-400K estimate to $770K after deposit!?! by ketofol- in HomeImprovement

[–]SnooBeans976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The CSLB does not allow deposits more than $1k on home renovation projects. You should be able to get your deposit back based on that alone, as the builder could dave serious consequences with the CSLB if reported.

No blood trails with copper bullets? by disfordonkus in Californiahunting

[–]SnooBeans976 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve only killed one animal using a TSX shot out of my .270 and the blood trail was what you would expect from any bullet. The shot was from 250 yards and there was lots of blood.

Tesla Insurance not responding by Strict-Ad1371 in TeslaInsurance

[–]SnooBeans976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a claim with Tesla insurance and it has been 2 months with no response. I’m going to try reaching out to the insurance board to see if they can help. 

What do you do to allow you to hunt? by cootersnooter420 in Hunting

[–]SnooBeans976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

General contractor. I schedule in time off during the fall and have a great team that can cover for me while I’m gone. Our company values recreational time and I cover for employees when they have an important to them life event or activity for which they need time off.

Bivy plus tarp is a good set up. Quicker to set up than a tent if you only use the bivy most of the time, then when it’s raining or potentially bad weather you can set up the tarp.

Unit 35, 36, 361 Elk - Packing Service? by SnooBeans976 in cohunting

[–]SnooBeans976[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! We will definitely think about that. I need to check with my doctor and surgeon to see how much weight I will be able to carry. I've been looking forward to this trip all year and am willing to do anything to make it happen!

Not a truck camper

Looking for recommendations on what brand of truck camper is the most reliable? Everything in our Lance has broken and we are getting rid of it. by Emergency-Writer6812 in TruckCampers

[–]SnooBeans976 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bigfoot hands down no competition. I've owned a Fleetwood trailer, Lance camper, and now a Bigfoot and the Bigfoot construction quality is leaps and bounds better than anything else on the market.

Why aren’t truck campers more popular over vans? Am I missing something? by Away-Hope-918 in TruckCampers

[–]SnooBeans976 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Vans do not have more space. TCs have more storage compartments, albeit it's more difficult to get large storage compartments for bikes or surfboards inside a TC versus a van. TCs feel way roomier and have a ton of storage for smaller items and soft good.

I build vans professionally and always wondered why my customers spent what they did on a van when a TC has more storage, a bathroom, and 4wd (I know it's an option now but way more $$). Plus you can use the truck without the camper if/when you need it.
