I know right? We far we have knees. We are many years away from completing the puzzle of body parts for a full picture.

Yes, wrong thread. It does impact this shit though and it is already bad enough. Shit is already almost twice in most cases as high was it was just 6 years back. America will be the new Zimbabwe where 1 billion US Dollars for a loft of bread! Want some can lights installed? That'll be 100 grand...

What? Really what? Seriously. Let's all donate $100 to this. Maybe the asshole will OD with the new found cash.

I went to the forums late late last night, and saw no new posts in most places in days. Thought I was at the wrong forums. Maybe I was, or maybe he had deleted everything. I honestly feel bad for these people thinking they are a part of something over there. Most don't seem qualified anyways to...

That sounds more like it. While Lowes and HD run sales on tile and I use the fuck out of % off coupons to save money, the cheapest place for tile is usually surplus stores. Bought some awesome marbled white 12x12 from Home Surplus earlier this year for $.44 a tile. I have been raising my...

No It has to do with he is not relating to the fact I am there and know what was and wasn't done when these people was ripped off. I charge $50 for ceiling fans IF I am already on job. That is due to the big 3 makers of them changing the install procedure for them every damn year. The new...

Not at all. It isn't like I was help prisoner from sex all my life. I slept with around 28 women before I met her while in HS and college and obviously my life does not revolve around sex alone. It would be damn nice to have some now and then though. I will say it was a bigger issue to me 7...

Hey, where I am working at now the guy left a note on it saying If I want it 75, set it to 79. I replaced it with one I had in the van and said now 75=76! You can adjust that , but the older mercury ones are hard to calibrate without knowledge. The new digital ones you can set the swing by push...

Well you are right , this isn't a accident claim with injury and this isn't a personal loss claim of property( personal ) which makes it far less likely to help. I have seen and done fire jobs where it made considerable differences however. The best you can do is rip apart the scope they have...

You are welcome. I have been doing this 25 years and worked for a Master Electrician for 3 of it. I'm happy to set you straight anytime. Yes most are over charging assholes. It has never burned me because I get bids and I always have the homeowners pay them directly. I avoid high charge bonding...

My problem is I see these 2 trades constantly rip off homeowners. Sure you run into issues, but I bid my best guess on issues with conditions. A homeowner would rather pay more if a legit issue came up than pay a guy a ton of money to walk in and work 3 hours and leave and say, that was easier...

Uhhh. Are you sure it is the walls( drywall or plaster )? I think I know what you are talking about. I've been in houses where there is a vibration from the unit outside when the fan is running. Likewise the inside unit, which is located either in the crawlspace, a closet or attic runs the...

Sooo, with everything going on I have been craving a brisket. I don't have a smoker though. I do have a nice infrared Char-Broil grill I paid like $500 for which is indirect flame. Has anyone had any experience with the little metal baskets you can put in those with the wood to slow/smoke cook...

Am I missing the owl?

As for why I put up with it. I really don't in the sense I just take it. She fully well knows my dissatisfaction with her right now. However I am not a dick about it and rude. I've just been honest. People say I am a very likable guy. You could probably throw me in a room with a terrorist...

Heylel- State farm is the best and worst of it. I've seen homeowners cry dealing with them. They really dislike attorney's however... Keep fighting them. Julian- Yes the same company I bought that mold from sells those as well. This guy wanted a basic shower cheap as possible, but I do work...

No fuck that. You and plumbers alike. I called one the other day to repair a frost/freeze faucet that had busted for a homeowner and that son of a bitch told me $375. I went to home depot, bought a sharkbite and a new faucet and fixed it in 15 minutes with $30 in parts, better than new. Job I...

Well a little backstory. I was born and raised here in my town and I had decent connections for work. When she started going downhill mentally( she was always a little bit odd, but truly I dated TONS before I met her and I found every woman is in some way or another. Some in good ways, some in...

I searched Home Depot's website and could find a Pantheon Commode. Link please.

Well here is the deal. My father is in poor health and wants to go see a movie together. We was going to go see Pacific Rim together but I was working many hours a day and it passed by. Then he suggested Godzilla and I saw some posts and reviews and suggested Edge of Tomorrow instead. I...

I have a homeowner who has a wife always wanting stuff done. If it is a small job he pays in well you know. In other news. Tornado spotted 8 miles away. EBS came up Tornado Warning, expected hazards Tornado. Glad they cleared that up.

LOL@ that article. Every example she has done and I knew this. This is why I keep the conflicts down, it is what trips her off. I am not much a drinker. I drink some moonshine( don't ask ) at the rate of a pint every month or two. She drinks beer at the rate of a 30 pack every 2-3 days.

Last fall I was doing work for a very well off family who had issues with shoddy contractors in the past, anyways 5 months on the job( I did a fuckton of work to that house ) I am talking to the wife of the guy and telling her about her back issues. I mentioned it was her Bday the next month...

No, that was over in the first few years. She has to have it cricket quiet, no air movement and like 90 degrees. I have to have a fan and about 65 degrees. My body temp from working all day usually outside keeps me hot until late in the night. It was 90 today and she is sleeping on a heated...

Meh. I collect decent Sci Fi movies. This looks good enough to buy on Vudu digital once it hit's $10-12 for the HDX version. Doesn't look that bad, but it takes a hell of a lot more than this to get me to a theatre. Like Edge of Tomorrow next week will be the first time I've been to one in about...

If anyone is ever tiling a shower, I suggest these which are about $40. I usually build my own recesses but this thing is waterproof, pre sloped and ready to tile. Took me about 10 minutes while hanging the Durock to install instead of the usually hours cutting, boarding and building one myself.

Who is your insurance? I used to deal with virtually everyone years back when I was in fire/water/storm restoration. You will have to fight to get your cap by calling and keeping at them. Also depends on replacement or depreciation policies and so forth. Also deductible.

Been tiling all day. Ya the craziness thing is the hornets nest here. We don't fight because I typically avoid conflict with her, although she is a very negative person, she seems to like me more than the other 99.999999999999 of the world. I joke all the time when she comes into my office...

Thank you, and really everyone. I had considered asking about all this as far back as FOH boards. I was expecting more tits or gtfo responses and so forth. All have been kind and assuring. I am not perfect by any means nor will I ever claim to be. Sadly this is not something I can just come back...

Yes it is normal and yes it is advised to have a set of doors or at least a screen, and by that I mean a mounted one that doesn't have a gap for ash to float out of. That is just the old fireplace style and it is big, plain and ugly as fuck, but back then it was class a stuff, and kept that...

Of course, go back a few pages to see the one I extended, built a 5x5 shower in and custom built vanities, makeup center, all new everything and heck some more pictures of another one here. Only if you are within 20 miles of Bowling Green, KY however. First 2, demoing a improper tile job...

Ky has common law, but at this point my only real assets are about 25,000 in tools. I do not keep credit cards and I been floating on jobs to keep bills paid. I rent this house( which is in my name btw ) and my work van isn't worth much. The plus side is I have about 2k total debt. Period. We...

Seriously though Heylel, DO get another bid and if you didn't like either person estimating, not the bid but the person, get another bid until you feel confident you have 2 solid bids. Do not be shy telling them AFTER you get bid this is what I had to work with. I constantly take jobs at a...

Not far lol. I did go to Atlanta once to install a fence for a friend with a baby coming due and they had dogs. Never again. Show up first day , any hills like 3 feet high in yard. Freak out, wash them away. Wake up next morning, all back. Every time I dug into ground with post hole diggers , I...

Yes cheese, exact same thing almost word for word, except more years invested. Also glad you did not die from onions! Cad after 18 years, she knows where every family, friend and even jobs I have lives. I'm not worried about me in this, although it is a danger, she is a definite risk to...

I won't lie, that pissed me off as well. He needs to regain trust, I think he fails to see that. I always liked Brad up till the bullshit he pulled with this start up. I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire now.

Not the same one Melvin. I found that one on Amazon and it looks like a foot pump over a commode. The one in the first picture will actually work well due to the seal and compression, but not able to still find it.

I have done 1, just 1 hot tar roof. We were sub contractors for it, my brother had done quite a few. I walked off the job. Only have done that 3 times in all these years. I have done quite a few torch on bitumen roofs. I don't do those either anymore( due to EPDM being better in my opinion and...

That makes so much sense. I'll have to look about seeing price for those. So much more sanitary than sticking a plunger into shit and then trying to clean it up all the time. We have 1 commode in our house that almost backs up from pissing in it. Have snaked it, plumbers have snaked it. Been...
