I don't have any advice on it but please do be careful. I had a friend who was 24 way back when and died from a diabetic coma when he never knew he had any blood sugar issues to begin with. He had flu like symptoms and was dead 2 days later swollen up to 2x normal body size with a blood sugar...

I use scotch-brite pads to scuff up my hardwood jobs, cheap and abrasive enough. Even being brand new it has a risk of having many things already bonded to it. I usually strip the clear off to coat floors. Is it 3/4 or engineered or prefinished sealed wood? Used to be able to get some poly that...

Sounds like trimming around the box or using a prybar to move the box over what you need, drilling a hole into side and putting a screw in it into stud to tighten after you wedge is the best options then. Edit- When I say trim around the box I mean rip 1x2s or so and extend the plugs with...

Are you doing 3.5 inch casing or is it like the other pictures and 1x4 wood? You could rip down the trim for the complete doorway the 1/8 or 1/4 you need all around if 1x4. You could also trim the plate. Been known to do that as it is the least invasive and have it terminate into the side of the...

Ugg I hate starting jobs on Friday unless I am able to work all weekend on it too. You go in make a mess and leave the homeowner looking at it for 2 days until Monday. The plus side to it is you can have your guys go in do the demo then have all weekend to think about what is needed, start...

Spoiler that shit. I want to be surprised by the lore. As for the drugs, just the certain postures of confidence in his face, way he talks, and his eyes most of all scream hydro/oxy pills to me. I've been on them for years. Some days/weeks I don't take any, some I take as many as 5 a day( it...

I use payal for 1% cash back but it comes through to my bank after about 2-4 days after I purchase so funds have to be there.Lifetime cash back: $454.88 USD since January 2013. No fees, and additional 3 days hold time on anything I need. I used to be bad with credit, this keeps me more honest...

He can't answer you, he is on a small vacation.

Last time I hiked 12 miles in a day was on the AT in the Smokey's and I was 21. The group I was with was literally slinging gear off the mountain on mile 10, like cooking stoves and crap. If this is a day hike I suppose he will be all right but if it is a overnight it changes the load drastically.

Ya he operates like I do. I have 1 credit card, I refuse to have more but I do have it in case I need it with a nice limit, but his upfront get started materials is next to nothing for what you are having done. He won't be paying his guys for at least a week, usually in contracting the...

Best hope would be for him to Riddick it, put down much of his money to get filming, then grab a studio to pick up the tab once it passes a screening groups approval. Not sure what he has in the bank though or if he would risk the biscut.

As someone who has been on pain meds more than not the past many years. Every time, every single damn time I see a picture of him, I see hydrocodone/oxy in his eyes/posture. I have not seen one yet where he didn't look like he was on a opiate.

If you like him and have a good feeling about him, negotiate. If you have any doubts( you've met him and talked to him, we haven't ) or he won't negotiate, run. He doesn't need 4k to bust up some drywall and hang $6 sheets though. The very fact he wants material AND labor for his guys up front...

No, you are not wrong. The materials for what you are having done is mostly labor. The material cost is at the end of the job( tiling, flooring ) and drywall and even paint doesn't cost much. I guess that is why I never get complaints is that I ask for a reasonable amount upfront. If he...

In addition never pay until he is there to start the work in Heylol's case. The only time I ever ask in advance of being on the job is special order. Typically windows. That is due to the $4000 order, but I write a check and take receipt back to the homeowner of it even then so they know where I...

Oh god no, never give them anything beyond materials max. Back when I did roofing I used to place the call order and picked up material money when it was delivered. Now any job I do over 2k I take a 25% draw the first Friday after starting work which is usually 5 days into the job. By that...

We are not talking about large business here, or even local big name contractors. We are talking the guy who probably runs his operation from home and thus gave him the most reasonable bid and had good references. This isn't a commercial job, bid contract job or even a large remodel. Chances are...

I had a friend in college do that shit way back when. He always looked like a damn ghost. Not sure if plasma or Vigo but it scared the rest of us from ever donating it.

If the house is over 8 years old though, that carpet is already worn taken care of or not, especially if it is even older than that. Most landlords figure carpet replacement every 10 years or so, and often have to replace it far more often than that. I do upkeep on some property for the...

Ya that is fine, if he has a cost in estimate for those materials then he should be able to tell you a budget if you want your own. Just be clear the price he gives you to work with is exactly for what you want. Does it include pad or is he still supplying that, carpet strips and whatnot. Ask...

You can buy a angle tool for about $6 that goes from o to 359 degrees. I use it all the time on corners and angles. Empire Plastic Protractor/Angle Finder-2791 at The Home Depot That thing is worth it's weight in gold to me.

If a contractor on a small scale can float big jobs then he is probably charging too much. Big jobs and big contracts get floated by big companies. In Nashville we would float 20,000 in labor/materials until first draw arrangement. Usually materials make up around 40% of my bid and I take 25%...

#1. This is hard to do and just pisses the contractor off more. If there is a budget for a material , obviously he needs to tell you what it is but you must take into account ,mortar, grout, backer board, screws( which cost a small fortune for backer boards, fiberglass mesh tape, caulking...

This dude went full retard. Anyways, if it took $170 million to make( and market ) then it will need $350 million to break even being it varies by contract but the movie usually gets 55% or so of the ticket sales. Less overseas. For some reason studio's rarely consider after theater sales...

No I am not fucking idiots, I am not fucking anyone, hence the rage. This is scifi against vaginas, not Marvel. That shit has been around since the age of dinos. We are talking about the Pacific Rims of Sci Fi against nerdy love stories.

Ok so after playing most of the week from a trial key and getting 3 chars into the teens( I spent far more time exploring, checking things out than I did leveling ) I've come to tell my observations, which mean jack shit to most people, especially rabid neck bearded folk still blinded by the...

Ya I think he missed the point I was making. A bunch of vaginas read a book. The male wants to see Edge, the vagina says no I wanna see this fantasy good guy loves me flick. Guess which wins? Then it is compounded by the fact it costs next to nothing to film Romeo making out in a park against...

It takes a lot of money to do sci fi with CGI and action scenes. It takes almost nothing to make a PG rated fuck flick of emo bitches. Sadly I prefer the first over the latter, but the pussies of the world vote the other and they control the power.

If he has some jobs posted and you can't find anything bad, then go for it. Yolo! Glad things so far are working out better for you Heylel. If you have any issues or concerns on the job, and he can't satisfy you, and if you can find us, you can always call the Rerolled Team.

Ya read it again. No Accidents, no tickets( in over 20 years ), no claims. Just have bad credit. I've had one loan my entire life, and I use exactly 1 credit card for everything. Direct TV fucked mine up when I told them to go fuck themselves 3 years ago, but it shows how flawed and stupid...

Speaking of crappers and Eomers post above, the place I am redoing the shower right now, I also had to run a shutoff from under the house into the guy's closet , basically a loop before it got to outside faucets/everything else due to him calling me in March and saying he had a $800 water bill...

Never heard of a tank just cracking like that. It could be a defect in the commode when it was made/installed and finally gave way, but even then there has to be a why. Was the tank tight to the wall, usually on a 12" on center drain from wall it leaves a inch or so behind the commode after...

Pretty sure I remember when I was young( like before car young 30 year+ back ) Allstate was a part of Sears. They have been buying companies like Ensurance awhile now and trying to gain market cap. I loved them for property/auto claims back in the 90s by far hands down, but I was never able to...

How do you make a off topic post in a off topic thread?

One thing State Farm is fast with is checks. You'll have that in hand within a week probably. Very sorry to hear about the man. I am still trying to understand how it happened. Anyone in this business has had some close calls, and mine was earlier this year with a table saw( see pages back...

Hmm being it has been so long since I been to the movies, is there any way of knowing which between Regal and Great Escape which theatre will have the better seats/sound and so forth? I went to both websites but didn't see anything as far as the specs of the theater. Or are all theaters somewhat...

Did you ever post the pictures or info on it? If you did I overlooked it and will go back and find it.

At what point, if not already does it become criminal?
