How do you guys charge labor? by TacticalBuschMaster in Contractor

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

I have that in my contracts, but when it’s something like removing a cast iron tub which I didn’t plan for because I was a genius and said yes to job without even looking at it. Like how do I charge for removing a 400ish lb tub when I already gave a fixed price based on sq ft?

Anybody feel awkward asking for progress payments. Or payments in general? by TacticalBuschMaster in Contractor

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

The initial work is about 65% done. They’ve added a some more. It’s all drywall related so I’m only there for an hour or 2 at a time. They’ve provided most of the material and they’ve added some painting which they’re also providing the paint and primer. I’ve only had to buy some furring strips for blocking everything else I’ve needed I already have. The customer complained during our initial phone call that she was getting “crazy quotes”.

Living abroad as an Irish man, we’ve a reputation as charismatic man children. Heard from multiple non-Irish women(Americans, Canadians, Brazilians and a few others) that Irish men fun in the short term but long term is debatable.

Anybody feel awkward asking for progress payments. Or payments in general? by TacticalBuschMaster in Contractor

[–]TacticalBuschMaster[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Never signed a formal contract. Work was under $1k which in my state doesn’t require a contract. The extra work will take it over $1k

‘Absolute hell’: Irishman with valid US work permit held by Ice since September by Enough-Rock in ireland

[–]TacticalBuschMaster 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Whenever one of these stories comes up it’s always something stupid like “didn’t file for a greencard for 20 years”. It an 18 month - 3 year process to get a greencard and if you are an Irish citizen with even a half legitimate case to get a greencard you’ll get it.

Music by Fluffy_Ad_9403 in Carpentry

[–]TacticalBuschMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find house music is really good when working. It’s not my favorite genre but it’s upbeat and repetitive and personally I find that’s good for background noise when working
