@firmitaaa Exactly why I stopped looking at most of their listings in my area, plus a couple of them have 2-3x’ed their assignment fees in the last 4 years

@zac_walk This is our logo… might be why I like yours lol

[Dan Ludwig @HometownDB]

@antonia_mdprjct That seems to be a rare and difficult-to-teach combination of skills, bravo nick!

@CollinJHumphrey , I’m sure we don’t do nearly as many bathrooms as you in a given year but… how’d we do?

[Dan Ludwig @HometownDB]

@Flipping_SFR Well worth it, I am pretty surprised at how inexpensive some really talented photo/video folks are in our area.

[Dan Ludwig @HometownDB]

Note to self: hire professional photographers more often…

@CollinJHumphrey We just purchased our 2nd 7x14 trailer last month. Came up with a pretty good setup for our carpentry crews using Milwaukee packouts. This was after having a single 8x16 for years. We like the hinged doors over the pulldown ramp. Our setup is like 90% cabinetry and trim tho

@preston_holland @mhp_guy Unfortunately I am an AirPods guy and it doesn’t currently support that functionality but hopefully soon

[Dan Ludwig @HometownDB]

@collin_ruth89 Yep, started making dedicated spots in my house to store devices so that at least the handheld screens are out of arms reach for most of the 5pm-bed time range

@preston_holland @mhp_guy Also re: the actual content of the post… I have been using the https://t.co/cUEdgsqMJj note pin for meetings and site visits (I am a GC) for about a month and this has eliminated 10+ reminders/emails to myself per day of action items/ things I need to do later. So good!

@preston_holland @mhp_guy Haha I came here exactly for this reason! FWIW I just saw on YouTube Jesse Lacey is doing some acoustic shows in LA and they did a private show with the band in Nashville. 🤞they might be making a come back. Still listen to those albums regularly!

@pooldemo Had to do something similar, although much smaller qty on a basement in NY…. Came very close to driving halfway across the country to rent/buy a few of these…

[Dan Ludwig @HometownDB]

@DietCoke82 Wish that was the case in Western NY, plumbing and HVAC in particular (read: anyone that does service calls) are tough to find right now

You are not really free until you can purchase this $10k Toyota truck in the U.S.

Everything short of this is tyranny.

@jcolesimpson I’m usually around 7 a night, but if I get even a hint of feeling like I might be getting sick I try to get it up to 8-10 (or as long as my body needs) and I usually am able to get back to normal in a few days

[Dan Ludwig @HometownDB]

@shawngorham @STLChrisH AC the customer has to let you (likely 1 tech) enter their house for an extended time to do the install. I think most homeowners want to vibe-check the company before they let that happen. Vs a roof, the expectation is a crew of guys outside for a day or two, a bit less invasive

[Dan Ludwig @HometownDB]

@JohnMcDonaldSB @NathanQuinlanGC Oh I totally get it, just with these college rentals I am forced to turn of the @alexforbes__ part of my brain ( custom cabinets for our clients) and turn on the @StudentRentPro part of my brain since we mainly rent to grad students

[Dan Ludwig @HometownDB]

@shawngorham My main contention around this debate is that if I put a logo on my truck I can no longer pick my nose while at a stop light, so blank trucks and trailers it is
