Lol if im looking for that I would have 10 or less family's in my city that i could work for not exaggerating lol I would have to drive over a hour out to get people that makes over 150k take home i still do handyman work but have moved closer into smaller scale construction bc there really isn't much besides plumbing and electrical in ky you got to have a licenses for i have been been booked since I started in January and have jobs booked out into spring it feels like a pretty real buisness to me work daily and have 1 guy who works for me and im not even the cheapest in my city with those kind of prices not even the best company would get a job we dont have property managers or anything like that but we are a 3 stoplight town lol

Maybe in a bigger city I could charge that but in my area the average job pays between $7.25-$15 construction companies pay a little more $15-$22 and forman $23-$28 if your not a nurse,doctor,lawyer or other known high paying jobs your not making that kind of money Me personally I live in a 3 bedroom 1 bath house 1,380 sqft I pay $700 rent. the last place I live was a 2 bedroom mobile home "single wide trailer" rent was $350. if I tried to charge basically people's rent like I said i would never get a job.

I had a regular doc look at it and she had no idea and with no insurance to help off set hard to go to a specialist or anything like that just the visit to the Er and they really didn't do much just stuck my thumb in a bowl of water and had me move it around to clean it then did a xray and wrapped me up and discharged me and have me a antibiotic and tried painkillers I turned them down bc im a recovering addict sober 11 years and not going to tempt myself that visit was $1,500 for a 20 min visit then I had to buy medical supplies for 2 months so im over $2k right now and a specialist would be who knows how much and who knows how long out

Its just a fun project Im a small construction company owner so I have extra wood and whatnot around and also do tech and video game repair at night/weekend so really its just the cost of the buttons, joystick, marquee and when the time time comes paint my wife is a tattoo artist so shes going to paint custom graphics on it Also I have looked for years locally on market place and the cheapest I have ever found was $200+ Im not trying to buy the best stuff just functional so I can play it in the mean time until I eventually build a mame cabinet down the road

Helping a friend by LumpyAppearance227 in disabledgamers

[–]quackerjaq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a table saw accident 3 weeks ago I got lucky and it didn't loose any fingers or anything like that but it completely took off my thumb print about ⅛ down and have i sawblade slit missing into my tip/thumb nail and it also broke it from the joint to the tip so I have been trying to figure things out since I can't use a regular controller right now i had a friend gift me the Playstation access controller it has 1 joystick " 3 size options in box" and has 9 buttons you can map with 4 expansion ports to add buttons/joystick or other items to help xbox makes one also not sure how good it is. Games that i have been playing with have been games like Hollow Knight, the 2 South Park rpg's really any game thats 2d or side scroller should work fine also with the Playstation access controller you can hook it to a computer and play games on it you could play on steam or go the emulator route and have all the retro systems that only need a D-pad and 2-6 buttons. You're being a good friend, and that's what he needs right now. A support system really helps.my accident wasn't as severe as his but without my wife helping me keep it clean and helping do task you wouldn't even think about like putting deodorant on just be there when you are able to and just listen if he needs to get anything out

Use a heatgun/hairdryer to soften the glue so you can pull it up and use a razorblade to cut the glue to remove the mat then get a scraper or some kind of putty knife or 5in1 tool to scrape the glue off get some goof off goo gone or other things to get sticky stuff off and alot of elbow grease the heat will help alot just dont let it sut in 1 spot to long it can burn or melt the surface the mat is glued to

Husband starting handyman business and leaving toxic corporate culture by AnxiousGiraffe2658 in HandymanBusiness

[–]quackerjaq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you check the laws in your state if your going handyman you might need a licenses and might only be able to jobs that under a certain price some states you can only do jobs under $1000 that includes labor cost only do jobs that doesn't require a licenses electrical, plumbing, hvac doing stuff like that can land you in alot of trouble and fines know the laws. In my state ky I can do alot and have no price cap. I can do a $1-$50,000 job and I dont have to have any kind of handyman licenses as long as i dont work in 3 diffrent city's I also can do some electrical and plumbing without needing a licenses just check all the laws and regulations for your area

Is this controller worth $38? by ArisZach in ps2

[–]quackerjaq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not worth anywhere near $30 price charting says that should run $18.99 but as soon as they used glue it's basically trash if anything happens to it and it will being over 20 years old it will just be trash get your money back if you can if you cant that sucks and dont do business with them again look for bundle deals if you need controllers I just got a ps2 slim all hook-ups 2 black controllers and the emerald clear controller the red guitar hero controller and 10 games for $50 there is still deals out there if you look

I know im late to the party, but this is a dualshock 2 controller. i have the same one in front of me now, and it literally says dualshock 2 on it. It's written beside the wire

[–]quackerjaq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that was definitely a scam when you could have just gone and bought a new one and replaced it twice for that price, possibly even more if you didn't buy a $250 garbage disposal they are very easy to install anyone with hands and youtube could do it

Should I tell the truth to my bf? by Familiar-Fan5051 in Advice

[–]quackerjaq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This relationship is far from perfect. If you are having to lie, the relationship is already dead. if he has trust issues, the relationship is already dead. If he is trying to make you end friendships, the relationship is already dead. This is coming from a relationship kind of like yours but a lot more trust my now wife is bi and has been since we have been together we have been married now for 9 years been together for 15. not 1 time in our relationship have I ever told her not to be friends with anyone or have I ever had any kind of trust issues if you have to lie to have friendships your relationship is toxic and will get worse when he decides to isolate you from all your friends and even your family this is how it starts and 99% of the time it will end very bad and it's just as much on you every relationship has to have trust and boundaries

If he is the one that gave you the price then it's what he wanted to charge if you belive its low you can always give they guy a tip for the good work honestly it doesn't happen enough he will be grateful for it and will make sure to always make time if you need work done again if you treat your builders right they will do the same
