Going through a couple dozen old rusty paint cans, prying them open and dumping over top the big cardboard boxes awning came in. Can't throw full cans of paint in dumpster, but dried out is OK...

Lol.

I don't throw anything away. I have buckets of bolts, nails, all kinds of stuff.

Those buckets have pulled me out of a few jams.

Yea. Tell me about it.

@srh88 I'm laughing now because of what you said. You said people would be surprised at what people will call a plumber for.

I was working as a maintenance guy at a 200 unit apartment complex. Me and one other guy to do all the maintenance and painting.

People would call just for a turd in the toilet. I would tell them mofos what a plunger is and where to buy one and not to call me unless their plunger didn't work.

dude i would love it if i only got calls for little stuff like that.. if im there 2 minutes i still get an hour out of it... so those stupid little calls add up.. go out, do a 2 minute fix, 95 in my pocket then off to the next one lol. its like water heaters, thats my biggest profit little job. ill charge like 1200 average for a water heater install.. but most the time is just waiting for the old one to drain so i can take it out.. but thats like 700 profit for like an hour and a half worth of work. i love days when all i got is water heaters.. the most ive done in one day was 5

Same here. I charge $60 an hour, minimum one hour. Some jobs more, some jobs less.

That was for the complex and I didn't get paid extra so I was like, no I don't want to plung your turds.



My rates depend on my mood and who you are.

I help people that need it.

If you're doing OK I charge more.

If you're a prick and got money, I'm going to charge you top dollar.

im the same way.. if i like you and you need the help i dont charge much, but if youre a rich asshole, im going to hit you for $120 or more an hour.. which is funny because im still cheaper than most people around here if i got that high. it helps to help out other people though.. i just did a tree guys house, ran some gas lines for him.. only took a couple hours but he had all the material.. i only charged him 20 bucks lol. but now hes taking down one of my trees for 500 bucks. ive gotten a bunch of estimates already, the cheapest i got so far was $1300 for it.. so yeah im glad helping him out came back around to help me.

Got new windows lined up for end of the month. The best regional window outfit around, BUT...I hired 6 guys who work for them who are using company discounts to have new windows made. They will come out on consecutive weekends and install the windows at a substantial discount...better to pay them direct, instead of company big shots...and I still save $. This corner is the living room...they are cutting both into bay windows...that corner should explode with light inside...and with all that light, I can paint walls a darker color which I was hoping for...

Slow cooked pinto beans all night with smoked jowel bacon, onions, and wild garlic. Fried taters, and pan baked corn bread.
