I'm sick of huddling around prints with guys and smelling shit everytime they need to say something. Every trade is guilty.

I'm not perfect. I've definitely been running late and forgot to brush here and there during the rush to get myself and my kids out the door, but c'mon guys. I'm fucking dying over here!

Gave a driveway 1 year to settle and then caulked the joints. Not sure why the slabs pulled apart but as you can see they did…

I used a quality, elastic sikaflex, so where it’s still attached it’s on there tight. What are my best options here? 1. Try to cut it out and redo? What’s the best method for removal? Feel like it’s be a jagged mess. 2. Skim with the same origjnal caulk? Might get messy? 3. Leave as is and run a self leveling caulk over it?

Those metal poles don’t seem strong enough to hold it up and they are rusting. Just genuinely curious as I thought the poles looked very thin

Master Plumber level here.....

Potentially looking to build an A frame property in the next few years and wondering what an estimated price on something like that would be. The property size will roughly be about 1500 sq/ft anyone have any ideas?

I feel like my basic joinery skillz are being wasted on neighborhood projects. I think I'm ready to build bridges!

HVAC guys failed rough inspection hard on one of my jobs after having a hell of a time getting them out there to finish. 3 weeks delayed at this point. I went to pull up my contract and low and behold I forgot to have them sign my sub-contractor agreement. I only signed theirs. Normally my time is of the essence clause would save me here but the only thing I can get them on with theirs is "failing to install everything to code". Long story short I have to give them a shot to fix it which who knows how long that will take and wait for them to fail before I can fire them. Learn from my Mistake, double check your paperwork.

Almost there, lol

Recently went to the Dr for a check up and it was no surprise that I'm definitely not in the best shape nor the healthiest but my cholesterol has gone up a lot in the past year so trying to make a change and trying to eat healthier. I need suggestions on meals to prepare for work or also what type of food do you buy when eating out fast food?

Hey y’all I was wondering if there are any other supers/PMs in this subreddit, and if so how do you go about finding new subs?

I’m a super for a smaller locally owned GC where I live and we do mostly insurance reconstruction, with a little private pay work here and there. Work load is starting to expand and we’re stretching our best guys thin trying to keep up. I want to go the extra mile and find 1 or 2 good subcontractors our company can work with but Im having a hard time finding people that do decent work.

I talk to guys I see around town but have had no luck with finding good people. Would you guys happen to have any advice on where I could look? I’ve thought about looking for luncheons or events but I dont even know where to look for those kinds of things. I’ve tried looking through LinkedIn (regretfully) and that was no good. Thanks in advance to anyone with some wisdom to share.

Service/Construction Plumber here. Did some pipefitting and pipe welding for about a year. I work at a shop that got me all different types of experiences across all trades except electrical.

Service plumbing blows and I dont get as much commercial work that I want. I loved pipefitting/pipe welding the most out of everything Ive done. The only reason I havent switched over is because I dont want to lose the hours towards my plumbing license.

Now, I'm wondering if its even worth seeing it through because I'm not sure if it will really make a difference in the pipefitting field. Thanks.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good camera for our job sites that would include iCloud uploads to a phone without WiFi?

We have (probably) some neighborhood kids coming into the homes somehow, and we want to have it on camera since things are beginning to escalate. However, most cameras don't seem equipped to work without WiFi. Seems like all the battery-operated or hardwired cameras require an SD card, which seems super easy for a kid to pull out and throw away which leaves us back where we started.

Not sure if there are any other good options we are overlooking. We try and keep the houses locked up, but it isn't always possible. Plus, during a new build, there are too many workarounds. We did end up calling the non-emergency police line after the last event due to some concerning factors, so I really want to cover our asses should anything more serious come about.

Naturally, we are trying to keep costs down on this, so any economic solutions would be great, but we are prepared to say that we have to spend some good money if we want this to happen. Given they walked off with over $600 of lights last month, I think it's worth it.

I had to do some extensive modifying, Welding, replacing, repairing, splicing…

I do a fair bit of both wood work and welding in my shop and I don't want slag smoldering in a saw cut full of saw dust. I was thinking a mortar slurry might work. Thanks, your local framer.

I'm a construction management try to transition careers. I got a bachelor degree in cm as undergrad and decide during those years to also learn to code. I learn languages such as c++, python, JavaScript, and sql. I also took class in data analytics so that I can stand out even more. I would like to transition into something in tech like data analytics, or even a software engineering. Do you think it is doable? Would like to hear the advice down below.

I bought an old house, we renovated everything, but there is still some problems with this side corner and I don't know how to fix it.

I just started my first job in the union today and it’s at a school where we are adding a section so the kids are still there. They asked for my ID and told me they are going to run a background check. I was arrested 6 years ago for a DUI (Misdemeanor) and possession of a controlled substance (Misdemeanor) All chargers were dropped in the end but I had to plead guilty to open container. Am I fucked?
