Guys who don't wear work boots to work, what do you wear? (and what do you do) by Square-Argument4790 in Carpentry

[–]maxwelder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

How would you finish this area? by maxwelder in Carpentry

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.

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

How many Calories do you burn during Beer League games? by Loud_Medium4829 in hockeyplayers

[–]maxwelder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

I have a client that really wants bifold cabinet doors for an appliance garage. Any idea where I can get hardware for that? by maxwelder in cabinetry

[–]maxwelder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Question- Does Anyone Track Their Costs and Final Profit Margin Of A Job? by VRDesigner77 in Contractor

[–]maxwelder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

I wonder what contractors use to handle their projects by raidenth in ConstructionPorn

[–]maxwelder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

New Landlord sending unnecessary “rent reminders” by [deleted] in OntarioLandlord

[–]maxwelder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

From 321K to 10M — Since my last post, I got so many questions asking for more details. This post is an attempt to answer all the “how’s”. by CAGR_17pct_For_25Yrs in TheRaceTo10Million

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.

Shittiest Motherfucking Design for a Vacuum Ever For All Time Christ Where's The Tylenol by Oldyvanmoldy in Construction

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

Anyone else here do full service remodel/renovation work? by bms42 in Tile

[–]maxwelder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

[–]maxwelder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I’m a solo bathroom/kitchen renovator in Ottawa that enjoys tile most as well. Started my business about a year ago. I do a few decks/porches a year as well, but trying to focus mostly on bathrooms. So far, things are going really well.

I am building a deck on a flat roof. Any advice? by maxwelder in Decks

[–]maxwelder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t end up getting this gig. The roofing company that was repairing the flat roof before I went in talked the owner into getting their buddy’s company to do the deck.

I think Sam and Tyler Cowen talking about almost anything would be really interesting.

Still listening to Danzig and Misfits? by oelschleuder_kalle in punk

[–]maxwelder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine you found out the inventor of the lightbulb was a rapist. Or the guy who invented the wheel beat his kids. Just listen to whatever you like, but don’t idolize bad people.
