That voodoo is fucking yuuuum.

Another thing most people don't know.. supply houses jack up prices by about 30-40% if you're not a contractor. So material gets marked up a good amount. So if im paying 600 and you price check it. You're not hearing my price

True.

I noticed that the local hardware store was charging a cetian price when I started using them.

Now they look up cost and I get it at a certain mark up. I don't get it at cost but I pay less than retail.

I have a commercial and a residential repair business as well along with a 40 hour a week construction job , a sawmill and I will do other stuff for money but I can't say what ( ok maybe that last one is wishful thinking ) if you got the skill ( and we know you do ) it can be great . Great if you work long hours, weekends, 2-3 jobs a day . I mean I've been a go getter and it has paid for the house both kids college and multiple property's . @Blue Wizard good luck and just believe in yourself .

Had an Interesting exchange at China palace (exactly how you picture it) with inze and a stranger writing out his epitaph, in..well..Sanskrit. I never even thought about doing my own, assumed it was for whoever's going to be looking at it to do. "You've got something in your teeth". "What ? Are you just going to stand there and look at me like that?"

I do know I want "1.30.1989 - "

Could be a thread even I just don't start them up too often. I actually haven't had a confession in a while now that I think of it

What?

 

[Bob Zmuda]

What?

I think he's saying he did hot anal with the Chinese waitress in the broom closet.

But in like, code or something.

That's my best guess.

I reformulated my nutrient mixture to incorporate more liquid bone meal and got my pH right on the money on the first try

Can we get back to this?
It sounds wayyyy better than the op.

I agree. A discussion upon the efficacy of sex with Asian gals in broom closets sounds intriguing and it does make for a more satisfactory life if one's skill set is at max.

That's all I got to say about it.

I never got that logic, give the guy making money off it a huge deal, but not the guy that's just trying to save money on home repairs. I get the whole thing with contractors move more volume, so they get a discount, but why fuck the DIYer so hard? And they don't care, when I told the supply house I deal with I could get the same water heater online and shipped for almost half the price, they just said i should buy it there then. I would've been willing to pay a little more than the online price just to deal with a local business, but not almost double.

Lazy people are great. I make awesome money doing stupid service calls and putting in faucets and shit that only take like 10 minutes. But my top money maker is water heaters.

I paid someone to install an upgraded water heater when we bought our house. Reason: It's worth it just to have HIM be the one that hauls off the old one. (He actually gave me a 100 dollar discount for it as he was going to resell it. It was literally brand new, but was a 40 gallon. We have a garden Jacuzzi tub in the master bathroom, so I wanted a 75 gallon to be able to fill it up.)

I edged and cut my own lawns. I'm lazy. But not that lazy. Costs me the price of fuel. And the odd bit of maintenance- whenever thats due. Still don't know shit about engines.

I do all my own mechanical work and lawn work. My Craftsman riding mower is 24 years old and still runs and cuts like new. Thanks to my wife only buying Volvo S60's the last 15 years, I am now an absolute authority on them.

 

[Nugachino]

Never was shown anything about cars and the like.

 

[Indagrow]

What?

What are you putting on your headstone or spork or shopping cart to mark your gravesite?

It's simple the contractor will come a thousand maybe a million times the home owner only once . I never paid more than 10% over but I've been in business in this area since'89

The first time I got 2000.00 to replace a water heater was less than 50 miles from your house . And that was 400.00 less than the cheapest estimate the home owner had gotten.

Gas?

 

[Bareback]

Gas?

Electric , and I had to drive 2 hours each way and start the job at 9 PM , then be at work at 6:00 am .

So I guess you could say it was an an emergency job in a multi million dollar house.

Lol that's still a 1300 dollar profit

 

[dstroy]

Went to good ol' home depot and got my plain water reservoir (44 gallon brute), and some plumbing stuff. I can't believe how much they charge for a diverter valve $14!! I should have just ordered it from amazon.

Caught myself staring at a steam dryer for like four minutes. Don't judge me!

They had chest freezers on sale, so I had to leave before I bought one, because I started justifying the purchase in my head lol. I might need one next year maybe when things settle down here more and I have time to go hunting and fishing again.
