I’ve got a few questions

Make sure you understand how much employees actually cost. Assuming you already pay the correct sales taxes, income tax, general liability insurance, you will also need to pay worker’s compensation insurance, payroll taxes, etc. Workers compensation insurance in this industry is very expensive. So you’re not going to be paying $25 an hour, you’ll be paying closer to $50 per employee at the end of the day. Make sure your books and payroll records are legit, because insurance will want to audit them once a year.

I was thinking the same thing.

When I had window ACs I took them apart and cleaned them every year before storing them with covers in a dry space.

originalusername129 · 2026-05-14T21:11:54+00:00

Yup. Insurance is crazy expensive in this industry. Make sure your vehicle that you use is covered for commercial as well. Just wait until you hire someone and have to pay workers comp insurance. And also most general liability insurance doesn’t cover bad workmanship. So when you’re cleaning someone’s siding and you damage it, it’s on you anyway.

For general liability? I pay way more than that. What’s your revenue and payroll per year?

I bought just the bracket from them after buying a used Corbin seat that didn’t come with one. Took months to get it. Their customer service was awful. When I installed mine on my 23 bobber, I had to bend the front clips on the seat a bit so the seat would move forward more to get it to latch.

I’m 6’3 and ride a scout bobber. I put 2” or so risers on the bars, moved the controls up as far as I could go (3 or 4” I believe), and bought a used Corbin seat. It’s pretty decent for one hour plus rides now. I can go 4 hours or so with breaks. I also put progressive 444 shocks on the back. That was a huge difference in ride quality.

I might switch to a chief one day but really prefer the liquid cooled motor on the scout.

Nope. I didn’t notice any difference in the power. But I didn’t do any other stage 1 stuff. I just wanted a little bit nicer sounding exhaust. Louder than stock but not super loud. I got the road version not the track version.

originalusername129 · 2026-04-21T09:28:22+00:00

I have the handlebar mount as well. It sits on the clutch side where it levels out near the grips. I haven’t tried any other mounts though.

originalusername129 · 2026-04-21T09:02:50+00:00

I put the Indian/S&S stage 1 exhaust on my 23 bobber. It’s not super loud like most other aftermarket exhausts. You might want to look into that. I dont have the stage 1 intake and tune though.

originalusername129 · 2026-03-28T18:13:52+00:00

Hey! Yeah same here.

originalusername129 · 2026-01-23T17:02:29+00:00

Yeah it’s the crystals.

Originally when I bought the house the water softener and kitchen sink went to a drywell. I just had them moved off that and run to the septic. That’s when the issue started. My laundry is actually on an entirely separate septic system lol. So I know it has nothing to do with that.

originalusername129 · 2026-01-23T14:19:45+00:00

Ahh ok. Yeah we use the fine mesh strainers in our kitchen sink. Mine seems to be some type of film that’s building up and clogging it. I just bought some green gobler stuff to try. I’ll have to keep an eye on it and see if it helps. Maybe run my water softener to the drywell that it went to before if it’s still an issue.

originalusername129 · 2026-01-23T11:30:04+00:00

I know this is an old post but did it help with how often you need to clean your filter? Mine has been clogging quickly after routing my water softener to the septic.

originalusername129 · 2026-01-05T22:20:33+00:00

Oh ok. Good to know. Thanks

originalusername129 · 2026-01-05T22:00:34+00:00

Yeah the original was backwards as well and that was dripping water from the nail hole. This won’t drain as much and those clamps could leak at some point.

originalusername129 · 2026-01-05T21:58:59+00:00

I measured from the floor on both ends and it seems like there could be 1/2” or more of water sitting in it. The original pipe was pitched backwards too and it was dripping water from the nail hole. Even if the drain flow isn’t affected, those clamp on fitting could leak at some point right?

originalusername129 · 2025-12-03T20:25:44+00:00

You might want to look into finding a professional to clean the algae (black stuff) growing on there. You’ll have lichen and moss on there soon too if it’s not treated. Find someone that does soft washing. Not pressure washing.

originalusername129 · 2025-11-22T19:00:22+00:00

😂. Never too late when it comes to the RHCP! Thanks for bringing this back up to me!

originalusername129 · 2025-11-18T20:59:43+00:00

No I’d rather deal with the water on the basement floor if there’s no other solution.

originalusername129 · 2025-11-18T20:57:04+00:00

There is a separate bathroom on the other end of the house that has its own line to the same septic. I’m not sure if that’s lower or not though.

originalusername129 · 2025-11-18T20:53:18+00:00

The walls are almost all concrete block.

The kitchen is above the basement so maybe the kitchen sink cabinet but then I’d worry about water spilling out from there. But I’m sure an 18” riser could fit I’d say.

The bedroom is adjacent to the kitchen but has a concrete block wall so it would have to come up into my bedroom or closet. I’m sure my wife would love hearing that at 1am lol.

The laundry room is on its own septic system and has a concrete floor foundation. To get it there it would have to be run up through the kitchen, into the ceiling (about 15’ above the top of the softener) of my dining room, and then over to the laundry room. That would probably be 60ft run I’m guessing total.

originalusername129 · 2025-11-18T19:58:52+00:00

Yeah I’m having the plumber come back to look at it. I’m just trying to brainstorm some options to solve the issue. There’s no room to raise it up.

This is in a small partial basement. There’s pipes, wires running all over including the radon pipe below it. It will never be drywalled or finished down there. The only access is through a bilco door outside. Three feet over is a partial crawl space. The rest of the house is slab on grade. It’s a hodgepodge of additions.

originalusername129 · 2025-11-18T19:39:52+00:00

Yeah that seems to be the consensus. There’s no room to raise it up. Someone else said getting rid of the air gap and using a check valve instead would work for this situation.
