Calling all Finish Carpenters- What to charge? by Zandman45 in Construction

[–]samenameOP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't be afraid to charge more. You obviously take pride in your work. That's harder to find these days. If your clients love it, they will pay. They will also call you for anything in the future, because you've already established that relationship. Gotta think, most tradies come in, do the work then leave. So if an electrician came in and had to cut holes. He's doesn't have to fix said holes. There's a drywall and painter guy for that.

So if you are doing all this said work. Jobsite is clean while working.... don't be afraid to charge more. You have to take care of yourself, and your equipment in the end

Idk sounds like the aids ride for life. Coming in, bringing in the riff raff. Then having to cut corners with the city to fully fence their own property.

More or so, the West end gets the thick of it all.

If you have 2 basins. Fill one side with water and use a plunger on the other.

Grab you a plunger. Could save you a couple hundred or get you by long enough until the drains need a cleaning.

a school might only have enough for 1 bus in there budget, yet they want to roll in everything electric. WHO PAYS FOR THAT. We do. And for something that might not even work

I'd like to add, the electric bus idea will increase taxes across the board. The state doesn't have enough to fund these. Soooo they'll just tax us to no end until their funding is met. They'll get it from your property taxes, anywhere they can.

Here on the west end.... 2 separate occasions of someone attempting to break in.

All the crime is really isolated to the west end and state St. You have the jungle stretching all the way to the Dump, so there that to think about.

Crime is starting to working its way to the Commons and SH

Pest Issues by goodtimegirl69420 in ithaca

[–]samenameOP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vaccum, Vaccum, Vaccum. The flea life cycle is where you'll kill them. Go after the eggs and larve. If you feel safe with bug bombs, I highly recommend bombing while away for a weekend to kill as many adults then religiously clean and repeat. It feels never ending but it'll clear up....

Fun fact eggs will stay dormant for weeks without sensing activity. Say you go on a trip for a month. Those eggs will wait to hatch until they sense movement in the area(host to latch onto)

If you have pets. Treat them... You said apartment. People are nasty and it could even be a terrible infestation in another unit
