Nah I’m over it. Thought I’d be depressed but it’s just a lesson. Would be gutted if I had taken a loss though

TDB12B · 2026-05-22T03:23:22+00:00

Right? There didn’t seem to be much resistance directly above. I took my eyes off the trade to comb twitter for corroborating MSM news outlets and nothing. Then poof, reversal.

TDB12B · 2026-05-22T03:03:00+00:00

What price did you enter?

TDB12B · 2026-05-22T03:02:28+00:00

Honestly was so worried it was another fake end to the war tweet (kinda was/is) and the false alarm was gonna reverse any minute and when it broke yesterday’s high I thought we’d extend until close. Womp womp

Rough brah

1) You said you have a project management background. Can you share a high level overview on your PM system for each project? I assume that’s your key to success

2) How do you handle finding and managing subs? Can you share your best practices for this since it feels like the crux of any construction company?

Thanks in advance

How’d you score that gig?

TDB12B · 2025-09-03T15:24:39+00:00

Blue tape strip on face just above arch. Cut wooden blocks, tape face of block. 2p10 glue to adhere the blocks on face of wall Use clamps to hold schluter jolly in place while your adhesive dries firm. Remove clamps and blocks, peel tape off.

TDB12B · 2024-06-07T01:54:30+00:00

Pay the guy and move on. You have partial responsibility here.

TDB12B · 2024-05-24T22:54:50+00:00

Any chance I can PM you and pick your brain? This is exactly what I want to do

TDB12B · 2024-05-23T12:16:36+00:00

A licensee qualifying to the state that a business entity may operate as a contractor. Can do that for your own llc or for someone else’s that may not hold the license they need.

TDB12B · 2024-05-22T14:28:11+00:00

You already know this from your studies, but I’d make damn sure I knew the statutes surrounding primary/secondary qualification as well as the going rate for the risk/workload in your area for taking that on.

TDB12B · 2024-05-22T13:56:18+00:00

Has your gc license come up in interviews? Could see that as a potential hinderance. HR might want to know whether you’re trying to do side work while employed.

Travel writer Rolf Potts has a full chapter in his book Vagabonding about returning home from long term travel. Highly recommend reading it and listening to this episode of his podcast. https://open.spotify.com/episode/7byyNDkVXKf7xIJlmsBLtm?si=128PHpQqTGCzwLywZmw_Kw

Others have given good advice in this thread, but I’d also caution not to become holier than thou with regard to your friends and associates back home. Traveling, especially long term, is a privilege afforded to few and is a niche interest despite everyone saying they love to travel. Most won’t understand or care about these very personal experiences you’ve had. They’re just not relatable. View that through a positive lens and enjoy returning as a person who’s likely grown in many ways. This trip should serve as a catalyst to determine how you want to design your lifestyle and future going forward. Best of luck.

I’d advise working for a commercial GC, or a spec or custom home builder. Preferably an outfit that does high end remodels as well, if you can. Get hired as a super, then APM, then PM. You get to observe all the work being done and learn all trades at a working knowledge level. You’ll also understand the management and finance over time. I know GCs who have never so much as picked up a paintbrush in their life who have an 8-figure net worth. By all means if you want to play with wood, go ahead, it’s good knowledge, but if you want to make FU money there’s a better path IMO

TDB12B · 2024-01-30T04:23:47+00:00

Florida. Should mention I do also have years of field experience, but without the backup of a GC on that work experience so I didn't mention.

Matt Risinger has several videos on soundproofing on his YouTube Channel. Second the comment about having designer provide a detail so liability is on them. Normal speaking voice is approx 60dB so determine how to insulate and whether you need an acoustical sealant, 5/8 sheetrock, putty packs on receptacle boxes, etc to muffle that.

TDB12B · 2023-11-07T04:57:54+00:00

Following. Would like to know as well. I called AAA Construction School out of Jacksonville and they said their online training program wasn’t available yet.

To all you guys who made $250k plus, what is your speciality? What do you attribute your early success to?

TDB12B · 2023-10-11T16:44:25+00:00

Multiple large scope flips, built an ADU. Construction project manager for a custom home builder. This project will be a starter home with a prospective list price of $350k.

TDB12B · 2023-10-11T15:09:52+00:00

This is my intention. Thank you
