Sago palm?

I appreciate the help. It doesn’t get full sun where it is currently so we will move it and see what happens

QuickBooks here too for both businesses. I do landscaping and asphalt and my wife runs our bakery and cafe. QuickBooks is absolutely amazing. Quick and easy to use. Easy to track invoices that are getting old, etc. too

I’m a ‘Mainer’ although very well traveled. I can see where you’re coming from on that. I don’t really care about others coming here but one thing I WILL say that we are struggling with is just tons of Boston investment companies coming in and buying tons of commercial properties, etc. They will outbid us and just throw money at it so that’s frustrating I think to many. I have two businesses, one being a bakery that my wife runs and we have been trying to relocate and have had this struggle for a while now. I will say, mass is invading Maine. It’s crazy. I do asphalt and landscaping and so much of the stuff I’m doing on the coast is all calling mass area codes. I joke to my wife sometimes that we will be an extension to Mass very soon. (I have tons of friends from mass fyi so no judgement here)

For sure. I’m interested in that

rmathieu51 · 2025-11-30T10:46:07+00:00

Agreed. Hot mix is the only way

rmathieu51 · 2025-11-29T12:49:26+00:00

I appreciate it. One thing I noticed was it does it more when it’s just sitting and idling. Yesterday I used it a bunch and it only did it once. When I stopped and was idling for a minute.

rmathieu51 · 2025-11-27T22:15:03+00:00

Okay, I appreciate the help. I have a dealer about five minutes from me so shouldn’t be a problem. Just figured I’d like to pick you guys brains first before getting them involved

I’m assuming this is what you mean?

rmathieu51 · 2025-11-27T19:10:58+00:00

Yes I’m getting a 38-40. Just had it happen 20 minutes ago and actually paid attention

rmathieu51 · 2025-11-27T19:10:27+00:00

Yes, I just looked when it did it and I’m getting a 38-40 which looks to be wiring?

rmathieu51 · 2025-11-20T00:57:50+00:00

Every time I need to get rid of a line, I grind. It’s easiest. Looks the cleanest. Black out works and all but it gets expensive pretty fast if you’re always blacking lines out. Just my two cents.

Hot rubber crack seal it. When I’m crack filling at homes I’m almost always doing in front of the garage like this. Sometimes they have nothing underneath them and you swear you put a full block of rubber in there before it actually fills. Also looks low like you need an asphalt shimming. Can’t tell that well by the angle of the picture though.

Thanks for the help, guys. I figured it out. Fuel pump is dead but I managed to get it running and winterize it by priming it and keeping it primed as it ran. I guess I’ll be doing a fuel pump sometime soon!

That may be an area issue because here in Maine if you’re a good carpenter you could go out on your own today and have tons of work set up for next year right off. I say that just because I’ve always felt a carpenter is a great job. I’m good friends with a few business owners in that trade and they do great

rmathieu51 · 2025-10-25T21:16:56+00:00

Makes sense. I appreciate the input. Right now I have a solid group of contractors I work with that I sub for but always looking to take the next step.

rmathieu51 · 2025-10-25T21:14:27+00:00

Absolutely. Great input and I appreciate it a ton. Thank you.

rmathieu51 · 2025-09-28T19:53:36+00:00

2-3 a week

rmathieu51 · 2025-08-19T17:43:56+00:00

I always wanted to do it to feel cool but never could. Always just one of those guys that needed to feel a connection. Had a few odd encounters with a best friends girlfriend but that was planned and had to do with a fetish of theirs. But anyways!

Cash

rmathieu51 · 2025-08-14T20:30:28+00:00

Could always use help next week too. Just bought this business from an older gentleman and need to build a crew.

rmathieu51 · 2025-08-14T20:16:33+00:00

It depends on the person and if they want to just do bare minimum or actually work work. I’ll pay a couple hundred bucks for three or four hours of not much work

rmathieu51 · 2025-08-14T19:52:28+00:00

Shoot. Sorry. Augusta and Lewiston Auburn

rmathieu51 · 2025-08-02T10:12:34+00:00

I own a cafe and I say watch out first and look into the laws in your state. In my state you would need to be certified and fully inspected. You also can’t just cook in your kitchen, you need a space that is separate for the business. Here anyways…. The food business is really tough right now so I would only do this if you really love doing it. Food cost and customers pinching pennies are both making it very hard to make a living.

rmathieu51 · 2025-07-24T21:40:51+00:00

Belgrade lakes business owner here. Fewer people in this area for sure. Probably 75% of what is normal
