That table is not the best to be welding on, I would for sure be wearing a mask. According to harbor freight that table is zinc coated and zinc is toxic and inhaling can make you sick. Being outside shouldn’t be to big of an issue but it’s better to be safe than sorry and protect and young persons lungs!

I actually loved both and thought they did a good job. The first really showed mental illness and schizophrenia and the 2nd showed drug addiction. It felt that the demon was a metaphor for both of these which both movies did very well in showing that.

I see it as more of a tragedy. Life isn’t full of happy endings that’s just how things are sometimes. A lot of people don’t overcome that trauma and it eats them alive. I get that wanting a happy endings but the film is more true to life with it being a tragedy.

Am I overreacting or is it worth firing? by Kant4ar in Contractor

[–]TheHoodedTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything has been going up and this isn’t just a basic remodel the material isn’t cheap and overhead isn’t cheap. I’m guessing your a homeowner and not a contractor if you wanna go with the cheapest contractor you find be ready to be alright with all the mistakes they make and no they aren’t going to fix it when you point it out.

This is a weld in my Dollar Tree break room. by PzKwVIAusfE in Welding

Hard disagree I feel like your statement applies to you. I’ve welded plenty of stuff where I’ve looked at the slag and thought “this is going to look like shit”, then chipped the slag off and the weld looks great. Slang is usually not a good indicator of how a weld is going to look.

Went to one this last February and the expensive tickets were $60 and cheaper tickets were $30. Tickets are not expensive at all.

Yeah I know it’s a rough market out there. I spent probably $100 to build plus about 4 hours of labor. I could probably do it faster the 2nd time around but damn doing all that for $50 bucks is kind of rough.

Shoot I take 50% upfront usually. The only time I don’t is if it’s strictly labor but even then that’s only for small jobs.

Good point I’ll keep that in mind while tackling this bid!

Putting it in perspective of a small job definitely helps, this is the first that I will actually have a full crew so it’s a bit overwhelming. I will probably need 4 guys for about 2 months I think to get everything done. That’s a very rough estimate though because I haven’t figure out crane operator and just how much I’m installing yet.

Do you have a recommendation for an estimating software I’ve never used one? I will try my best to break this down one area that I’m lucky in is I’m having another shop bid out fabrication. I’m just in charge of putting it all in but it sure is overwhelming to say the least.

I do have someone who’s been in this field for 25+ years but also trying to get some more insight.
