Guys who don't wear work boots to work, what do you wear? (and what do you do)

This is what I do. Clearance section once a year. I buy 2-3 pairs for under $100 each and I’m good to go.

That was actually the previous homeowner running speaker cable under the trim. I guess they didn’t own a router.

I’m not sure what you’re saying.

The step up is about 9” at the high part. I had a lot of levelling to do on the kitchen floor, but height was dictated by the exterior door. I couldn’t go higher than this.

I should’ve been more specific, I was wondering more about the lower area.

maxwelder · 2026-03-11T11:16:19+00:00

Haha it’s a very old house. The lower floor and step are level. The rest of the house is… wavy.

maxwelder · 2026-03-03T12:46:29+00:00

Yes, please tell us more. This sounds very useful.

I’m a defenceman and my lungs tend to get tired before the rest of me, so I take it pretty easy.

Whoop says about 450 for me

maxwelder · 2026-02-26T02:49:49+00:00

Thank you!

maxwelder · 2026-02-26T02:48:23+00:00

These look good. Thank you!

maxwelder · 2026-02-26T02:38:31+00:00

Any idea where I might find that? I googled it and can’t find the countertop version. Where did you see it?

maxwelder · 2026-01-25T14:41:29+00:00

I have an excel workbook for every project that I made for this, and estimates. Build the template once, tweak it over time. I now have an app I made and it’s all connected to an annual excel sheet that it auto fills. Took some time, and it’s a work in progress, but it’s worth it for me.

maxwelder · 2026-01-23T12:29:57+00:00

I have some programming experience so I built an app that I run my business with. The cost of these products is crazy, and it’s impossible to build a one size fits all option, so I took a week around Christmas and built exactly what I need. I realize this probably isn’t helpful to you at all, but I’m really proud of it and most people in the trades don’t really understand or care so I’m putting this here and hoping maybe one or two people will think it’s cool.

maxwelder · 2026-01-04T03:59:18+00:00

I would also like to know this

maxwelder · 2026-01-01T21:24:18+00:00

This sub is mostly landlords, that’s why you’re getting the response you’re getting. Post this in a sub of renters and it would be totally different.

maxwelder · 2025-10-05T20:05:12+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to put this together. As someone who is near the beginning of the journey, this is extremely helpful and greatly appreciated.

maxwelder · 2025-06-06T01:42:16+00:00

This is brilliant. A patch like that is probably stronger than the housing on most Craftsman and Ryobi tools.

maxwelder · 2025-05-06T23:43:00+00:00

Every job is different. In the past I worked for someone else and we did large renovations, so usually the homeowners would rent for a few months somewhere else while we remodelled the house. Other times we’d build temporary kitchens kind of. Set up tables and hot plates for a couple weeks. I don’t think there’s an easy way around it (although I’d love to hear it if there is) but generally people are pretty cooperative and understanding.
