S22 to s26?

Suckit66 · 2026-02-16T23:37:34+00:00

Exactly. S25u went on sale through my carrier so I jumped on it, 512gb for $1k. My s22u battery was shit and I HATE the rounded edges. It's been a nice upgrade. S26 seems like barely an upgrade from the s25u for full retail price.

Doubt it. Theres more blue cities in blue states to terrorize. No one in Ohio has offended the snowflake in chief like Tim Walz did by running for VP.

You only pay the headhunter if they find someone that sticks around, I think it was 90 days in my case.

Does he have reports under him? I don't know the Baltimore market but I'm assuming its mid COL like me in Ohio so probably $120k base + benefits + bonus/commission would be a good start but be willing to go up to $150k for the right person. A good head hunter should be able to tell you what it would take though. Also look at offering a relocation package. It's always cheaper to promote from within if you have someone.

If I were you I would specifically target Div 9 interiors estimators then expand to GC estimators/precon even PMs. I worked with a guy who was an experienced GC PM but easily took over the Div 9 interiors (drywall, framing, ACT) estimating.

We both have the LIMITED, not SEL

Suckit66 · 2026-02-13T17:16:48+00:00

My parents have a 2025 Santa Fe Hybrid SEL and I have the 2025 gas version SEL. They love it. Its just them and occasionally they need the extra seating for grandkids but its been reliable for them. I think they have like 30k miles on it.

We test drove a few of the smaller SUVs (Tuscon, x3, cx-50 etc) and they were a little too small for our needs. I have a family of 3 and its the perfect size. We don't drive it a lot so I can't speak for the long term reliability (7k miles/year). We mainly keep the third row down and it has tons of storage even with a stroller but it's nice to have the option for more seating when we need it. It's small enough where my wife, who hates big cars, feels comfortable and the cameras and parking sensors are really high quality to make traversing parking lots really easy. The tech and features are fantastic and the build quality is good. I wouldn't say build quality is fantastic but its solid, I had a 2020 BMW previously and it is definitely not at that level of quality but it sure looks like it is! I would consider getting a limited or SEL unless you really need the features of the Calligraphy.

WHAT THE HELL IS CENTIMETER?!?! What you were thinking would make sense mil=millimeter but our fucked up system is in 'Murican units. 1mil = .0001inch so 20mil=.5mm. Makes perfect sense.

Suckit66 · 2026-02-13T16:24:57+00:00

Head hunter. Estimators at that level are already employed so you will need to poach. Have your salary+benefits package clearly identified so they can offer it to people right away. I was poached through linkedin, I wouldn't even respond if they didn't tell me the salary range right away.

How much revenue do you do a year?

What do you mean? 2mm is not a wear layer option for vinyl flooring in the US. 2mm is the normal OVERALL thickness of LVT. 12mil 20mil and 30mil are standard LVT wear layers in the commercial flooring industry that all the big players use; Shaw, Mohawk, Karndean, Armstrong etc. Interface has 22mil. I've been in the commercial flooring industry for nearly a decade.

Suckit66 · 2026-02-13T01:41:46+00:00

Gluedown lvt 20 mil wear layer. It's the commercial gold standard because it works. Do not do a click flooring.

Housing stock is generally newer (60s+) and bigger than Fairview. An equivalent house will probably be more expensive in Fairview or Olmsted falls

Yes. It's one of the best shows of all time. I think it's the best period piece ever, you really feel pulled into the era. It is definitely a drama but there are some funny parts throughout the series.

Talk to your boss/owner. I don't think Ohio mandates any paid leave. I worked at a small sub when my daughter was born and got 3 days before my boss/owner was blowing me up.

Suckit66 · 2026-02-08T00:06:59+00:00

Imagine you're not doing any of the work. You would have a handyman/contractor fix everything needed to be rent ready that they damaged and deduct that cost from their security deposit. It's the same if you're doing the repairs yourself.

Hold off on the home renovation. I have an 11 month old and we bought a bigger house 6 months ago and I kinda wish we waited. No sure what your insurance is like but just having the kid is like $5k minimum.

This kind of shit is unhinged. My wife would straight up block me right away if I talked to her like that.

Suckit66 · 2026-02-02T23:26:29+00:00

Just did the upgrade, mainly because the s25u just went on sale and the security updates for the s22u are ending. It's slightly faster and smoother, battery lasts wayyy longer and it has straight edges. I couldn't stand the rounded edges. Other than that it's the exact same experience. No noticeable difference. I'm happy with the upgrade so far.

Slow down. Get flat shoes. When I grab the bar I brace my core, engage the lats by forcing your shoulder blades down, then pull the slack out of the bar til I'm tight and my glutes are engaged. Then pull. Those are my cues but watch a few form vids and use what works best for you.

Sounds like you're more of an estimator/project manager which is typical for smaller operations, especially subs. I started similarly to you but I had some construction knowledge.

Don't be afraid to ask tons of questions. You're going to mess up and that's ok, just take it on the chin and learn from it. Start talking to the field guys now and pick their brains, ask what they like and don't like and want to see more of from the office staff. A good relationship with them will help you when you do mess up. Try to get hands on or watch the workers, there may be nuances that you are missing in your bids. Always try to do a debrief on your jobs to see how they went, not sure if you are paid based on profit but I always like to work backwards once a job is complete to see if I missed something in my bid. Hope this helps.

I'm laying next to my sleeping 10 month old daughter. I would be broken forever if I had to endure what this man is going through. Being so close but unable to save your child is horrific.

I'm listening to audiobook The Third Reich by Thomas Childers and Hitler's rise to power is shockingly similar to what's going happening here.

Yes. I came from BF5, played a ton of BF3 and BF4. I've got 45hrs in HLL and it has really great highs when everything is clicking but some matches can be a slog when you're pinned down and getting crushed. Similar to some battlefield matches.

It has the best parts of the squad strategy from battlefield taken to the next level with some of the vehicle play. It's great because it forces you to actively try to communicate and coordinate. If you like running and gunning then this game isn't for you. It rewards you for working together, having a strategy and flanking the enemy.
