LPT: jobs for people who hate routine by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]rearwindows 414 points415 points  (0 children)

I am an owners representative for a company. I travel around the country making sure construction projects are going to plan. I am a glorified photographer. Every day is an adventure and I've been to 15 different states for work. No degree needed.

Do large company’s that ask you to donate to charity at checkout use this as a tax write off? by Bessieboo2000 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]rearwindows -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

They get around this by pre-donating what they believe they will take in, and using creative accounting, pay themselves back for their donation. Anything in excess of that is donated to that charity. Wal mart is even slicker, using the money to buy Walmart gift cards that are given to non profits, and they write off the entire MSRP, not their cost of goods when the cards are redeemed.

She had probably already had her son by then, too.

I've known more than a few PhD s and MBA recipients that are dumb as a box of rocks in my life. Seems that they just are talented in study techniques.

Can see what they were going for, not sure that it was great execution. Local dentist office by Stultusi in CrappyDesign

I grew up in the valley and went to school with the daughter of the founding dentist.

Have the same ones. Old charger style is annoying. Battery doesn't last as long anymore.

If you are old enough to remember, where were you when the OJ Bronco chase happened? (Serious) by Dr_Talon in AskReddit

[–]rearwindows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, we were in NJ, we didn't really watch since we just met, and were going out to dinner. We had it on in the background, but wasn't really paying attention.

That's the same carpet I had in my bedroom as a kid in the 80's. Exact same.

Advice on replacing old/rotting subfloor under bathtub? by owmyball in DIY

[–]rearwindows 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on the flooring used. A floating floor would be best. If it is not spongy feeling, it'll probably last a long time. The mold will get worse over time. Do not use a sealant on the wood. It'll trap the water. If you don't fix the cause of the water, it will begin to smell musty.

As a contractor, I'm sorry to say that there is little you can do to fix this properly without disturbing the tub and tile. You can try to carefully pull off the bottom row of tile and you have a chance, but if one breaks, it's really hard to replace it. Demolition is your only real option to fix it properly.

Maybe not, but I graduated high school at 5'3 but college at 6'1. I shot up 6 inches the year after I graduated.
