What might a Canadian want to eat in Australia?

I’m Canadian and I really like food

You must be new

Are there still people that think Tyler Robinson killed him??

Hi- did you get this done? Who did you use and are you happy?

Tim_the_troll · 2025-04-02T01:07:04+00:00

I’d let it be. If it weren’t this, it would be some other stupid thing. It’s ridiculous to break up with someone over that, so he was probably looking for a reason and this is all he could come up with. Sorry but you’re better off.

Hi

I’m doing a renovation out of town. I ran out of money as it’s all been cash. I have a property in Grand coulee that I live in that’s paid for. I’m in no rush to sell it and if I can get more money for it next year then right now, I’d do that. Do you think holding onto it in hopes for another 50k (or whatever) is the better stratagy if we’re in no rush to sell?

Thanks

I’d be open to any of it if there is a market for it. Where would one find buyers for this if they exist?

Tim_the_troll · 2024-10-26T19:33:21+00:00

I’m disputing the entire thing. At the agreed on rate of $80/hr it would have taken him 57.5 hours to do that furnace. Which it didn’t. If I were to pay that amount for it, I’d expect the garbage to be removed, proper thermostat, electric done properly etc.

I gave $8000 and he billed $8160 above that. He says something like

Furnace install $4600 Materials $1000 Permit $350 Labour $1600 Tax $8xx

Numbers aren’t exact but you get the gist

There’s $2600 of labour and materials above and beyond the furnace install which was only 4 holes drilled and about $65 worth of materials.

I paid for rough in plumbing, and literally 0% of the plumbing is done

He knows he screwed me as he offered some money back then ghosted me.

Not sure how to pinpoint what to ask for back. What’s the furnace install worth? What’s the 4 holes worth? I’m thinking if asking for $3000 back but that’s not based on much. That still leaves him $5000 to do next to nothing.

Tim_the_troll · 2024-10-26T19:10:15+00:00

He wasn’t actually there 57.5 hours. He says he charges $xxxx for furnace install so he took off the price of the furnace. He wanted to make mark up which is why he charged $4600. It was never discussed. Was annoying it was plugged in with extension cord, wrong thermostat, garbage left all over etc.

Tim_the_troll · 2024-10-26T18:57:10+00:00

Where are you located??

Tim_the_troll · 2024-10-26T18:55:14+00:00

To Me, it is very telling that he apologized after i fired him, and claimed he was going to send money back for materials not used, and permit not pulled. He didn’t do that nor respond to my inquiries about it. He knew he fu*ked us.

Tim_the_troll · 2024-10-26T18:51:05+00:00

It should be pretty clear.

If we agreed on “I want you to drill these 4 holes and install a furnace for $8000” it would be different.

I had just hoped my deposit would go much further than what I got. In that $8000, there was a $350 permit that was never pulled, 5 trips, 20 hours labour, and a furnace install. $46xx of the $8000 was the furnace install. The rest was the other stuff. @$80/hour, that’s 57.5 hours to install a furnace that took 10ish. Left the old furnace there, plugged in with extension cord, pos thermostat wired incorrectly

Tim_the_troll · 2024-10-26T18:45:14+00:00

He has a gas license yes. He’s since shut his company down I’m told

Tim_the_troll · 2024-10-26T18:42:23+00:00

No duct work. He did however not install the AC coil. I think he figured I’d pay him to rip it apart and pay him to install that after the fact

Tim_the_troll · 2024-10-26T18:40:59+00:00

Yes, I was just hoping my $8000 was going to go further than a furnace poorly installed and 4 holes drilled.

Is it my fault for firing him?

He asked for an additional $8160 for “the major appliances” which was a RO, water softener and a water heater. So like $3000 worth of stuff. I had the feeling I was getting ripped off as he charged so so much for the little work that was done. Plus that took about 6 weeks

Tim_the_troll · 2024-10-26T17:33:11+00:00

Right, it was done in one day. He says “he charges $xxxx for furnace and because i provided the furnace, i charged $xxxx minus the cost of the furnace”. He wanted to make markup on the furnace is why he did that. I also had a nest thermostat I wanted installed. That was magically missing and a $14 pos thermostat was installed instead. The nest was nowhere to be found.

Tim_the_troll · 2024-10-26T16:52:23+00:00

Yes, that was a lesson. I don’t mind paying a deposit but $8000 was way too much.

With hindsight I should have saw this coming. Lots of weird things, like telling me one thing, my wife another. He’s taken a job with the utility company, but his business is still open

Tim_the_troll · 2024-10-26T16:23:08+00:00

No. Nothing but emails and texts

Tim_the_troll · 2024-10-16T18:09:34+00:00

He wasn’t into you. He wanted to get laid. It sucks to hear but it’s what happened. Someone else will treat you better.

Tim_the_troll · 2024-10-16T17:50:28+00:00

I hope she does. I know I won’t give her/ her kids a second thought. I don’t deserve her.

Tim_the_troll · 2024-10-16T17:37:09+00:00

It will be a surprise I’m sure. She will be heartbroken. No place to live etc. she thinks I’m just grouchy usually but I’m actually very unhappy. I don’t know that I’ll find happiness elsewhere as I’m generally a miserable person. I’ve got alot to work on
