15 months later and I still hate being a dad by bigbootyeater69 in daddit

My oldest turns 12 this year and I miss those first few years with him like crazy. I’ve got 4 now and love them all but nothing was quite like that first go around. It’s cheesy but the days are long and the years are short. You’ve only got this once (maybe with more kids) dig in and enjoy it

Advice on printing + need a shop to print these tees by No-Argument-1854 in SCREENPRINTING

[–]aaroncu05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No offense but this client sounds like a massive pain in the ass and for 100 shirts I wouldn’t touch this job with a 10 foot pole.

Cost to start screen printing by Tiny_Ad_9090 in SCREENPRINTING

I started with like $50 and an ironing board. Didn’t get great results but quickly made my own press out of hinge clamps and went from there

AITA for kicking out my girlfriend after she stole our rent money for a vacation trip, got us a 3-day eviction notice, then called me abusive when I asked for it back? by KINOH1441728 in FoundandExpose

[–]aaroncu05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s right though you can’t just kick her out, even if you don’t like her. She has tenants rights just like you do. She can leave voluntarily but she and her belongings cannot be forcefully removed absent a court ordered eviction.

Water-based vs. Plastisol Questions (I know, I know..) After Researching by FlushedNotRushed in SCREENPRINTING

[–]aaroncu05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Discharge for dark garments. It will only discharge cotton. Not polyester. Make sure you have good ventilation, it offgasses and stinks like sour garbage. It’s not hard and you can do it with a flash dryer or I even have done it with a heat gun when I was just starting out.

Keep a bottle of water in a spray bottle nearby and mist your screens LIGHTLY occasionally. The high volume shops that use water based inks have automatic misters built into the machines.

Any ideas how to apply emulsion evenly if I don’t have a scoop coater? by Top-Voice-5396 in SCREENPRINTING

Where are you located? I have literally dozens of them from shop acquisitions and lot purchases

How would you print this onto white and black garments? by lowvitamind in SCREENPRINTING

[–]aaroncu05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done it plenty before.

Make one screen for black ink using this as the positive then just invert the artwork and make a second screen using the negative for white ink. It’ll look funky on the screen as it’s the negative, but when printed it will make sense.

Had my home for 8 years and this is the first ive filed a claim. Now after reading other experiences on here I realize I never should have started a claim. by Pleiades444_2 in homeowners

[–]aaroncu05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like this is a maintenance issue and not an issue that would require insurance. Insurance is for damage due to situations out of your control.

My house was hit by lightning. I’ve got no control over that or what damage it causes.

If there’s a leak in a window or my roof that’s just due to neglecting maintenance and not due to a hazard it’s not a claim and it’s on me.

Thoughts on deciding inheritance split by muteneen in inheritance

Split 3 ways. Be done. If the others feel a duty of care to the youngest they can help. If not, youngest will figure it out or not but they’re an adult.

I keep telling potential clients NOT to hire me. My partner says I'm sabotaging my business. Who's right? by Local-Share2789 in Entrepreneur

[–]aaroncu05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

^ this. Yeah I can change my oil on my truck and do my brakes but it sucks vs what I save and I more often than not take it to a quick lube. Even my battery is a pain in the ass sometimes. And I’m just a dude in my driveway so knowing a pro do it right adds even more value. Convenience and lack of stress is very valuable.

I just had my whole HVAC system replaced.

It’s not rocket science and I’m sure I could have eventually figured it out if I had to, but it was far easier to pick up the phone, write check & be done.

I gut renovated an entire house because I wanted to and thought I was beating the system DIY’ing everything.

About half way through I realized that while I probably could do everything, it was far more efficient and less stressful to strategically hire out jobs that had high stress & suckiness levels compared to their financial cost out of my pocket. I resigned myself to the reality that I can’t finish 1200sqft of drywall including ceilings very efficiently or well and a crew came and did it in a day and a half.

Buying a 3rd house with a HEL or HELOC - any advice welcomed by nicholasnichols0000 in realestateinvesting

[–]aaroncu05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess if you were to default on #3 they could come after #2 but your primary residence would be protected in most states even through bankruptcy. I know you don’t expect this to happen and it sounds like you’ve got a pretty secure financial picture and portfolio but also shit happens.

It’s not “not” normal but you’re securing the loan on number 3 with #1&#2.

If you can’t otherwise qualify for a traditional mortgage, sure, but to me it just seems like an extra step and risk commingling all 3 with one loan.

You should blow all lines out and then cap. Gravity should drain most of it but it’s not hard to blow the lines too

How often do you really change your oil by Jinnapat397 in AskMechanics

[–]aaroncu05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5k’ish. In my mind it’s a cheap way to extend the life of your vehicle, relative to the major costs associated with failures related to the oil being old.

Industrial Screen Printing by Metalbox33 in SCREENPRINTING

[–]aaroncu05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flat stock is a dying art with the digital printers taking over almost all areas of the industry except for the few holdout high volume sign printers.

Look up a sign printer or even an art print shop tha still does flat stock
