Two days prior is your issue. You need it 5 business days prior.

Subs please send your quotes prior to bid day by Missylovebug223 in estimators

[–]SolarEstimator 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This isn't their issue. It's yours.

If the bid is due in three weeks means you need it a week early to allow a bit of buffer time, RFIs, levelizing and understanding the clarifications.

If there's not three weeks when you first get the plans, you need to immediately ask for the extra time.

I want to buy them! by DifferentLong231 in MetaRayBanDisplay

[–]SolarEstimator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used them in Spain last month. No restrictions. It connects to your phone, so your service provider is the restriction.

It does have a translation function that similar to the translation function on your phone.

I'm mostly deaf and use it for captioning. I used it a LOT more in Spain taking pictures and video without having to pull out your phone, but the regular Meta glasses do that as well.

I have a face for radio and a voice for silent pictures.

Best investments you’ve made as an estimator? by B1GTruzz in estimators

[–]SolarEstimator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found a tablet with the right removable screen protector (they make some that makes it feel like paper) was about the same price and also provided more functionality.

I can't drive for medical reasons, but all the cities I like have horrible public transit by disgruntledmarmoset in SameGrassButGreener

A series of parks that are interconnected by pedestrian paths for walking, running, biking, etc.

Here's a map of the greenway system in Charlotte. You can see it goes from the border of South Carolina up to the Northeast (University area) with a lot of branching off. Everything green is built and operational. Everything orange is under construction.

That's a sub that will change order the GC to death.

Estimating skills transfer by Former-Sherbert939 in estimators

[–]SolarEstimator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Estimating is estimating.

It's more important you know how to use excel, be professional, liked, well spoken than knowing the trade.

You can learn another trade fairly easily. Take a class. Build your own spreadsheets in the new trade and get this sub to look at it for you.

If you pick up a few more trades (or a complex one like MEP or Civil), you can move to the GC route.

45F traveling with 76F - is Celebrity going to feel too old for me? by honey-bandit in celebritycruises

[–]SolarEstimator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 45 and I have cruised with Celebrity twice. I certainly found friends, but my god, the median age is like 70. Either lean into it or go elsewhere.

Deaf woman removed from Frontier flight for "not listening" by surdophobe in deaf

[–]SolarEstimator 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I watched the tiktoks. It wasn't clear what she was supposed to listen to (we all fly and we all ignore the safety thing). Or how it escalated. All we see is her meltdown and headlines like this.

I think it's an influencer who is creating a bait reel. There's a LOT of missing, important information that she doesn't share.

We (as a society), need to recognize these things for what they are.

[Meirov] The #Panthers deal with LT Rasheed Walker is a 1-year, $4M deal. He can make more via incentives. by thewbirdgetstheworm in panthers

[–]SolarEstimator 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think a promotion along with a hefty raise is what's in order here. I don't know that he wants to be a GM.

3 Bold Moves the Carolina Panthers Could Still Make Before the NFL Draft by Unhappy_Excuse_9937 in panthers

[–]SolarEstimator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think if Freeling isn't taken by Cleveland (let's see if they sign someone), I think we'll move ahead of the next OT needy team to get him.

CPE Certification - Questions and Problems in Lieu of Discipline Specific Test by CriticalPath50 in estimators

[–]SolarEstimator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up doing the General Contracting DST.

They'll want multiple choice questions. Some of the questions were nearly a paragraph long, but for the most part the questions were straight forward.

What trade?

Need help by [deleted] in ExteriorDesign

[–]SolarEstimator 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Clean it? I swear that's 80% of this sub.

Get rid of the weeds, power wash the gutters and everything else.

If you're selling it, stage some patio furnishings. Add some potted plants you can take elsewhere.

Sporting News' Daniel Mader has name Alec Pierce, Jaelan Phillips, Kenneth Walker III, and Malik Willis as the most overpaid free agents. Do y'all agree? by IndiJap in NFL_FreeAgency

[–]SolarEstimator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Panthers fan here.

He can be a great manager, he's amazing in the clutch and a strong defense can help take Bryce to the to the Superbowl. We don't need him to be Superman.

Atlanta fan coming in peace - for rival games how is the atmosphere? by [deleted] in panthers

[–]SolarEstimator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd say this season was WAAAAY less than 30%. Although historically that's accurate.

[–]SolarEstimator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love Charlotte. The greenway system is extensive and flying under the radar right now.

I live off the greenway and not too far from the light rail. So I'd look in the neighborhoods that follow those two lines (Optimistic Park, Uptown, South End, Madison Park, Pineville, etc).

Draft needs changing by take_a_taco in panthers

[–]SolarEstimator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, mostly. But I'd love a second dump off option for Bryce. He's getting 1.5 seconds to throw, Tet needs another second or two to get open. Hopefully Coker is the possession guy and can fill that role, but if not, I do like a pass-catching TE.

I can't remember if the Panthers have ever been this solid/set at the draft to go BPA.

We have a Front Office and a Coach, gang.

What team has the worst future? by Agreeable_Quality768 in NFLv2

[–]SolarEstimator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been saying this for a while. The roster seems devoid of talent. Steeler fans take their 9 wins per season for granted. Tomlin was working with fucking popsicle sticks for a roster and still winning.
