  1. I wish. I've never had good luck hiring people to expand. I'm not a blip on anyone's radar but my name gets passed around quite frequently amongst general contractors.
  2. To piggy back off of this, there are 3 big players in drywall around here. I worked for 2 of them. The first was mostly commercial and the second was residential that does 90% of the new construction around here. This second company sold themselves as the best value in drywall. They said we aren't the cheapest, we aren't the most expensive but we are the best value for your money spent. Be that guy and be a million dollar company.
  3. El paso is a big ass army ghetto.
  4. Only steers and queers come from Texas private cowboy
  5. Texas is wild big. I've been to el paso and San Antonio. San Antonio was nice.
  6. That whole pocket of states is tricky. I was doing some work on the eastern shore. I drove up the road looking for somewhere that sold paint and accidentally ended up in Maryland.
  7. Lol. Bro. Youre throwing rocks at the hornets nest. Say it again for a third time about RI and see if it doesn't summons the oontz RI representative.
  8. Bros. Come to think about it, I've never met anyone from Iowa. I had to Google it cuz I wasn't even really sure where it was. I was starting to second guess myself like "does Iowa even exist?"
  9. Taking the world's most well deserved dump. It legit took 3 hours to get home.
  10. Does Iowa have black people? Iowa feels like it's hella only whites.
  11. @cancelculttouristthat's smart man. You're already headed in the right direction by narrowing your focus of what services you offer. I made that mistake early on doing the jack of all trades shit. I found some stuff I was more proficient in than others. There's a big difference between being able to do something well and being profitable at something. Right now I offer drywall repair, trim carpentry and paint. They all kind of go together. I recently within the past year got kicked off of Google. I'm not sure why and there is no way to call and talk to anyone directly. But for a free service of being listed on Google and a free Google page, it made my phone ring a little bit. Internet advertising was an expensive nightmare for me. The thing with online advertising is in the construction industry you are competing with the advertising budgets of angies list, home advisor, houzz and such. I spent 1000s of dollars a month pissing in the wind. @NightmareOnElmStreethad good results with online advertising though I think.

    Headphones

    @SMdoubleXLback in the day there used to be a button on your playing device where you could switch back and forth between mono and stereo. Mono has the same sound come out of both earphones and stereo is where you can have a lot of the different sound components split between the left and right speakers.
  13. Steamed nuggets. The breading is definitely soft, wet, and sliding off. Honey mustard, though.
  14. Just got a response back as soon as I made that post. They are disputing $200 worth of work. Lol. No biggie. I padded an additional $1700 in there anyway like a true scumbag contractor.
  15. I'm in bed by 830. Often times Im dozing off by 930. Last night I was up til 130 for some reason. Right now I'm sending off invoices and emailing clients explaining how all of their change orders have increased their final price. Remember all those times you asked "how much to add this," followed up by "okay let's do it," has compounded into the astronomical figure you see in front of you. I swear people are total dip shits.
  16. Hah. Back in the day you better not fuck up one god damn time and say one stupid ass thing. You're done son.
  17. Yeah it was the big tease ola. I'm pretty sure the only person to meet the teaser in person was dhabz.
  18. Where is @Devilush and @ubejinxed
  19. I'm pretty sure I was 17 when I found this place. Before that I was racking WYWS from borders and deep diving into art crimes. I'm pretty sure I found this place while trying to order caps from 7th heaven or 4 the hard way or something like that. I'm 42 now. It's been a long shit talking journey.
  20. Aye @SukiSukiNowyou have the heart of a lion! You just need to chill out. Easier said than done, I know first hand. You got this homie!
