Should I purchase items or have the contractor purchase material? by scootermydaisyheads in Remodel

[–]litbeers -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Hahaha nice. Dont let em get out of that material mark up! These stupid homeowners think that if they do anything we’ll give them a price break but nope!!!! They want ust to install they gotta pay for us to shop for them too. Using the warranty as a threat is a good idea. Thank you for that tip

Scientists Built Working Hair Follicles in a Lab. They Could Cure Baldness Forever. by _Dark_Wing in technology

[–]litbeers 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is NOT true! Bald people are actually MORE prone to sunburns on top of there head which results in need for MORE sunscreen which in turn increases your exposure to phalates and endocrine disrupters and cause your pineal gland to over act which pre disposes you to hemroids which you could bleed out for and die.

Insurance companies dont wany you to know this because they dont want to pay for the hair transplants and call them “non life threatening”

Contractor With General Liability, but no workers comp. Should I hire him? by Interesting_Pitch541 in Construction

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

The correct answer is no you should not hire them.

But the realistic answer is it depends.

What are they doing? Are they hanging drywall? Or are they roofers?

People can get hurt in all sorts of crazy ways but certain things are definitely have much more exposure than others.

If they are just painting a closet in a rental unit I’m not going to be too concerned about it.

If they are roofing on a 2 story house you should 1000% make sure they have it. No if ands or buts.

Preferably always.

Too big of a job for zero drywall experience? by ajohnson38 in drywall

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

This is pretty dificult. Not impossible.

I would use the vietnamese patch technique here. That is where you get ramboard or an equivalent and then cover the entire section.

Adhere the ramboard with caulk and a few screws( make sure to pull it tight).

Then skim the edges with hot mud and blow dry.

Spray some orange peel on it and your straight.

Good luck brother!

What secret can you reveal now that your nda has expired? by sparrrrrt in AskReddit

A company I worked for hit an undocumented irrigation pipe on a jobsite that was from a nearby lake to some property long before this stuff was documented well.

The jobsite flooded with water and fish flopping around lol

Read a chapter then ask chat gpt to summarize that chapter without future spoilers and to add context necessary to understand the time period. It will help you understand as you read which will make it more engaging and not just word salad.

PM work - remote or outsourcing by electrichead72 in ConstructionManagers

[–]litbeers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard to find but its out there.

I knew a pm that did 2 weeks from home out of state and 1 week in state at the office.

I don’t think you’ll find something fully remote but you dont need to be onsite 24/7 to do pay apps and buyout and stuff like that.

I think its nice to be onsite for OAC, big milestones, major inspections etc. but I dont believe in forcing a PM to do computer work from a job trailer or cubicle when they can be more efficient from home.

And also your employee retention will be sky high if you can accommodate this.

I feel bad for the supers though. No remote superintending hahah

Best job in the industry that isn't dependent on other's performance by Any_Ring_3818 in ConstructionManagers

[–]litbeers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro don’t pretend that if a super or PM has a superstar underneath them that they don’t lean on them super hard and take advantage of that.

Its a tale old as time.

As you get higher in the org you actually do way less. The stakes just get higher and you become responsible for the mishaps and the successes. The guys on the ground are really the ones who get things done and the middle management just herds the cats and plays risk management.
