What did you accomplish today?

[curious2garden]

"pretty thought swirls" something i like about weed

I was actually considering surfing Tuesday, scratch that idea!

 

[Jimmyjonestoo]

thats a really good idea. start a handyman service. only thing about it is, youll definitely want/need insurance

@Blue Wizard knows his shit. A handyman business would be perfect. Us "blue collar" guys make tons charging lazy rich folk to fix up their shit. I love working for myself. Insurance is for sure a must.

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.

In my area i have to be covered for up to 3 million. But it's actually pretty cheap.. also it's well worth the price of being my own boss. Someday I'll fire myself though

How so? Why? Not that hard a job to replace if the original placement was decently done.

Every other company around here is charging 1800 or 2k+ if it's gas direct vent. So I stay between 1400-1700 and make a killing on them.. especially if I line a day up of just heaters. Easy few thousand and with heaters most of my time is just waiting for them to drain. Rates in my area are insane. Most plumbers here range from 110-200/hr . There was an Amish dude who was actually really good only charging 40/hr. But I guess people tend not to trust someone who doesn't even have powered running water in his house

Also.. people are lazy and have too much money

 

[neosapien]

I'm cheap and paranoid and try to do everything myself around the house. I follow a flow chart. Can I do this? Yes. Will people perhaps die? Yes. How many and who?

Wow. Nice

Wow. Nice

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

Same with cars and surgical supplies LOL Still cheaper, and more satisfying, doing most things yourself. I remember the surgical supply markups were an order of magnitude larger.

Yea its cheaper than what I thought it would be.

 

[Nugachino]

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 charge 48 a yard of mulch when I'm getting it for 33. Good luck getting that price on your own.
