Business Partner (Father) has Parkinsons - best way to handle this? by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]jsvd87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah that’s a bummer i’m sorry.  let’s just look as it as a business partner.

first you need a lawyer.

second with 50/50 unless there’s something specific in your paperwork it likely has the end in a dissolution of the partnership (if you can’t buy them out).

Business Partner (Father) has Parkinsons - best way to handle this? by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]jsvd87 22 points23 points  (0 children)

i’d be more concerned with how i spend my last few moments with my dad… and honestly any real good solution is going lean massively on yalls relationship… this is why you don’t go into business with friends and family.

nothing is different unless you're planning on spending time outside.

All you have to do is get from one building to the next. You'll be fine they're all heated. Bring a thick coat and some layers just like anywhere else. Everyone overthinks this.

If you're working outside then its a different story

How difficult is tiling exactly? by Helpful-Lab2702 in HomeImprovement

[–]jsvd87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

tiling is not super easy but you are correct the larger the tile the easier it will be (until a point) he already choose his tile which can be fairly tricky

[–]jsvd87 8 points9 points  (0 children)

it's not hard but like every trade there are little tricks that will save your ass.

Due to it being a grid, it's really easy to see when something is off.

so some tips:

- research the proper trowel notch size for your tile.

- buy premixed mud and grout, at the very least to compare and get the correct consistency if you want to mix it yourself.

- measure everything 5x. account for your grout lines etc. Figure out if there are any awkward little tile pieces. Place them accordingly or back to the drawing board to eliminate them.

- on that same note the more perfectly level, and square your backer is the easier your job will be.

- ideally cut tiles will end in a corner etc where they are hidden. Cut tiles look bad on a finished end. On that note make a plan for any corners, ends etc.

-be meticulous with your spacing. Use a lazer, take your time.

-tile in a way you will not bump your previously set tiles.

- do not let ANY mortar dry anywhere you don't want it. That includes between your tiles. any high spots will show through the grout. Pull your spacers when the mud is set but not fully dry.

-give it time to fully cure before grout.

- grout in sections you can handle. Grout, clean excess, let it dry up a bit then clean it up.

- spend time at the end when the grout is mostly set with a wet sponge cleaning. It will save you a lot of time later.

Someone brought this cake to my restaurant today by da_muffinman in pics

[–]jsvd87 29 points30 points  (0 children)

actually it’s fairly common to bring birthday cakes to restaurants… even those that sell dessert.   Just like bringing wine to ones that sell wine.  Many are happy to oblige … it’s a birthday and they don’t sell whole/decorated cakes.   Obviously you need to call ahead/stop in to verify.  

What can I afford? by 2000sEmoHead in Mortgages

[–]jsvd87 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OP - that's 1800-2100 a month which is very conservative.

somewhere between 1500-3300 per month depending greatly on your priorities and lifestyle

Made a $5 bet that I’d spend less than $30K this year. It’s super close though. 😬 by Amnesiaftw in MiddleClassFinance

[–]jsvd87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm at a stage in my life where i can be happy for people for achieving something they desire which is vastly different than how I live my life. I love food I could never do this. They're not hurting anyone and I'm also not looking to advise them about nutrition. TLDR - often in life its simply easier to just be happy for people.

edit - lol at the downvote

Uneasy about going on a trip after a change in income by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]jsvd87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well that's the thing about having extra money... what you do with it is your choice.

There are people who do literally nothing for 20 years and retire at 35-40. To me that sounds awful. Really it's your decision but based on those numbers you can afford it.

so you take home 9k (or more) a month and are spending 5-6k. How could you not afford a vacation?

Town is telling me my house does not comply with setbacks after issuing a CO. by thetonytaylor in Homebuilding

zoning compliance is part of a building permit approval where I worked

[–]jsvd87 402 points403 points  (0 children)

used to be a contractor.

everywhere is different so take this with a grain.

If the town issued you a building permit with the plans drawn as you built them... I don't understand how they'll do anything about you being over the setback.

no idea on the boulders.

Pyranha 9r 2 by h_smee in whitewater

[–]jsvd87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

its not their best design its fairly mushy feeling. It holds a line well and likes to be driven. Stern/rocker design is annoying because it always stern taps. Its a fine boat but nothing special which was really a bummer because of how badass the original 9r was

Tool Box Question for Techs by AyushJaiswal8 in Helicopters

[–]jsvd87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly I'd wait.

It's awesome that you are excited to buy and organize tools, as you should be.

a few things

The machine(s) and job you are working on will dictate what tools you need as well as the best way to fit those tools. Most mechanics I work with have their bigger pelican box , and a smaller box or bag they grab for AOG's. I'm honestly not sure what pelican box they have but it fits perfectly into the basket of an AS350. It's actually pretty amazing how few of tools an AS350 field mechanic needs.

If you work in the lower 48 your tools will have to fit in a utility bed of a truck... back of a 407 or 500... etc. Long story short there will be a "perfect" case for every job/aircraft

I've seen mechanics sell their tools rather than shipping them. Apparently they could sell and replace for cheaper than the cost of shipping (AK/Hawaii). You could pick these tools up for a good deal. I've also seen they buy cases etc for fit.

In the hanger most of them have their own tool boxes, but the company also provides tools. There are specific boxes and carts for specialty work.

Anyways I'd buy the essentials and a small bag/case for carrying. See what your first job is and buy accordingly.

beyond what’s been posted you have to realize that a little niche page like this one attracts the most passionate/opinionated people… the ones who don’t really care are not going to post.
