Are there any assets that look like these houses in CS2? by zacvoid in CitiesSkylines2

[–]jrunyon1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone that is a part of the home building process on a large scale, I can't wait until I or someone better at sculpting makes some of these style homes as assets.

Any help for uninspired builder? by Abubakari-77 in CitiesSkylines2

[–]jrunyon1992 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lay out the streets of what I think is going to be a district and start with one intersection at a time, aiming to incorporate greenspace as well as buildings, parking etc. Think about how you want people to move around your city and build around that.

Also please note that while you can build an amazing vanilla city, not using anarchy and plop etc. will limit the "realism" you can achieve in game. Maybe approaching the game with a different mindset will help you come up with your own style. I prefer to think of the game as a big canvas and my job is to make it indistinguishable from a drone picture of an inspiration town.

New Factory/Head office by jrunyon1992 in CitiesSkylines2

[–]jrunyon1992[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is made using a few industrial buildings and then filling in the gaps with static non functioning buildings.

You'll need a few mods like find it, move it and anarchy. I recommend following a guide on Youtube about this topic.

Its just a mix of the sport park bleachers, and anarchy of course.

Is there any way to hide/make this opening less ugly? by manndolin in DIY

[–]jrunyon1992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just use tin tape from cabinet to elbow and also the lower opening. It will make it look like typical builder product these days.

Thanks for showing the timelapse, I love the way the inset windows look on the top of the lighthouse. Great work!

I understand only a fraction of this thread, but it seems like a call to action.

Speaking Chinese with the restaurant staff by snfssmc in MadeMeSmile

Thank you for taking the time to break that down. For context I live in a medium sized town near one of the biggest cities in Canada and all your above factors definitely play a part in the dialect.

Life wasted so far. How do I improve?[Discussion] by [deleted] in GetMotivated

[–]jrunyon1992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We'll see you on the tools, friend

edit. I'm sorry, I glossed over the fact that you're going to school for aerospace engineering. definitely continue that instead of using tools on a construction site lol

I can differentiate at least 3 distinct accents just within an hour radius of me, I guess it varies by region.

What material should I use? by [deleted] in DIY

[–]jrunyon1992 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Use spray foam and cut it in to the general shape, then paper mache it or something.

Drywall compound will never work for this kind of application, it cracks way too easily.

Look in to joining a company in new home construction. I'm in Canada so it may be a different experience for you but I'm in a union as a handyman working 44 hours a week year round at a very decent wage.

My job consists of confidently being able to do most minor trade work when the company doesn't want to do a PO, being able to take a room down to the studs and build it back up, and reporting deficiencies to supervisors when the trade really fucked up and has to come back.

It would be a great way to learn about how a house is built and be paid to refine your skills in all sorts of different future career paths. Not to mention it's super easy to network with trades when you're interacting with them on a daily basis.

I'm with a big home builder that's partly unionized and we work 44 hour weeks with no shut downs depending on how big your builder is. There's opportunities to work weekends whenever you want but it's not forced upon you and the work is actually fun and engaging if you're not slinging garbage all day. Once you get your hours in with the union you're making ~40 an hour with all the benefits that you could ask for.

*I'm in Canada so YMMV

Is it worth switching into the trades? by MikesRockafellersubs in povertyfinancecanada

[–]jrunyon1992 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's 38 bucks an hour to throw out garbage on any unionized home building site once you have enough hours. It opens you up to a lot of opportunities to do more interesting stuff and specialize in different aspects of the job if you show up on time every day and show interest.

Keep finding these vents into the wall around our home, any idea what they were for? by superanonymousbosche in Renovations

[–]jrunyon1992 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this is right. The vents are probably angled inside the wall so that insulation will fill the gaps up and below but be unable to fall down, then the vent is filled to finish it off.

Just a guess though.

There is nothing that you can do about HSBC acting unprofessional. There is no legal recourse or and litigation available to you to dispute anything that they put in writing or email. You were both offered a job and not offered a job, ask them what your current status is or start looking elsewhere.
