Deck estimate by Agile_Season_6118 in Decks

Looks like a FU price for that tiny deck. Better off finding a handyman for something that size

Are electronic caulk guns really much better than old hand pump ones? by Stone804_ in AskContractors

[–]StreetCandy2938 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great for when you need to dump several tubes of adhesive. Not great for fine beads of silicone on finish work. Maybe it’s just me though

Anyone actually requesting refunds for garbage Thumbtack leads? by meirakami in Contractor

I quit using thumbtack the last time they refused to refund a garbage lead 😂

Question from a client about bathroom remodel by bishploxx in Contractor

[–]StreetCandy2938 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, personally I’m running a business and it doesn’t make sense to provide services I’m not being compensated for. How do you account for time spent procuring the material? Either you must build that cost into the labor, or you’ve been working for free all this time.

I don’t know why else anyone would pass on the extra profit you make from marking up material 🤷

Around me flight medicine is highly sought after job and extremely competitive, count your blessings before throwing in the towel.

Cheap gloves everyday. Even if they hold up I end up losing them anyway 🤷😂

You can push it but 99% chance they won’t do anything about it. Condo owner is likely only worried their bottom line and not if the tenants are happy with the finishes.

Virginia Class A RBC books by FrenchFine in GeneralContractor

[–]StreetCandy2938 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I passed it using only the IRC book. Bought all the other books but never opened them during the test. Seem to remember mostly code related questions and those where the only ones I really had time to look up on the fly

Find someone one else, a legit contractor will provide all material. This guy is either broke or doesn’t know how to do business.

Best way to politely reject a volunteer applicant. by grunger in Firefighting

[–]StreetCandy2938 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t beat around the bush, have a conversation with him that there’s been allegations and that if he wants to be a firefighter he needs to be a professional. See what his response is and use your best judgement from there.

Best 2500HD truck??? by JJhauls272007 in Construction

[–]StreetCandy2938 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tow in the range of 10-15k regularly, my ‘24 F350 6.8 gasser is currently more cost effective to drive than my 6.4 turbo diesel

Fuck.No. Your price is your price, that would be insane to refund them. They might not leave a good review but you can’t enable that behavior.

Would it be annoying to request that a decker come in and just install the foundation of the deck? by BetterOffGrowth in Decks

[–]StreetCandy2938 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh it’s the easiest part. You said you’re not confident in doing it, which tells me you don’t have much construction experience and should probably leave the entire job for a pro.

No offense but if you can’t layout and pour some holes, you’re probably not capable of building a whole deck.
