Finally found a good method of adding unlimited icons to dock for Dock&Roll . DNR limits them at 20 for performance purposes. Making some progress . Going to add a pop up editing view so you can live edit without going into settings
I find the “Arch manning is not good” crowd hilarious. Literal parrots.
Tell me who Mestemaker has played?
I’m not say let’s draft Arch but to say he’s not good really discredits your opinion
Why do ppl keep quoting posts but not saying anything related to the post? @x @nikitabier - is this another form of engagement farming?
It’s annoying AF I’ll tell ya that much
The government is now “briefing” Rob Schneider?
What’s next? Carrot Top get the key to Whitehouse ? 😂
This government is pathetic. Our only hope is backwoods hillbillies reclaiming its dignity
That’s like sticking your head in the ocean for 6 seconds and saying we don’t see any octopuses.
The probability is literally .00000001% that there isn’t
Our company can do 100+ jobs a month and he’s not wrong. Recently had a bathroom remodel, first tub shipped was broken, second the surround was broken, 3rd time I went and got it myself because the 3rd party shipping companies clearly don’t give AF.
Past weekend I was digging a well line , that’s the easy part as the excavator does all the work. Homeowner was there helping and I had him in the ditch, it’s 4ft deep with roots everywhere and we were casing the line. We were 2 couplings short, he had to drive go grab some couplings and said “He says “this the stuff homeowners don’t see huh?”
You bet your ass sir. I dug the ditch a few days prior, water table low in that area and it filled with water, had to pump it out but now your in silt mud trying to glue pvc pipe.
Moral of the story, your quotes aren’t as high as you think they are and society really needs to respect tradesman if they want to encourage young folks to take on this grueling work
You know what quietly eats away at a contractor's profits? All the little bullshit nobody accounts for.
Here’s an example from a recent project of ours.
We installed a brand new toilet and sure enough, there’s a little chip in it. Now we have to uninstall it, take it back, get another one, buy another wax ring and install it all over again. On top of that , we had a brand new faucet line that was damaged and started dripping. So another trip and another reinstall.
Not a huge deal, right?
Well, when you start doing 50, 100, or 200 jobs a year, these little things become apretty big deal. Extra trips to the store, more miles on the vehicles, guys getting paid to redo work that’s already been done. It adds up to thousands of dollars that a lot of contractors don’t think about and can’t afford.
And let’s be real, the homeowner expects us to take care of it, even though we didn’t cause the problem. Which I understand… kinda, still up in the air.
But what about the contractor who’s just starting out? Or the guy who’s already pricing his jobs so tight there’s hardly anything left over?
This stuff really hurts you.
So here’s something I think more contractors should be doing right out the gate.
Go back and look at how many jobs you did last year. Try to figure out how much money and time you spent dealing with stuff like this. For easy math here let’s say it was $10,000 and you did 100 jobs. That’s an extra $100 per job you should probably be accounting for in your estimates.
Think of it as more overhead.
You’re not trying to make extra money off the homeowner. You’re just trying to make sure you’re charging enough to stay in business and not eat these costs.
Something I think a lot of contractors overlook, especially when we’re first starting out.
I’m going to add to this, Jelani Woods is a massive human. He has made some critical blocks and good catches. I see him as a valuable TE
One of the best offensive team as a whole we’ve ever had. Let’s keep them together as long as possible

This will never reach the light of day to yall phones. I’ve been in this far too long and Apple will swoop in and pay large sums of cash to ensure it doesn’t
It’s really not. It’s for the corporations, for Israel, for oligarchs, but We The People have lost all control and our government no longer serves Americans
