re: What kind of flooring are y’all putting in your homes?
Posted by FLOtiger on 1/25/23 at 3:41 am
If you're an adult without kids or pets, tile of your choice in living & bath areas and high end carpet in bedrooms.
Vinyl if you have messy pets/kids or are prone to spilling/dropping things. Still want carpet in bedrooms. Possibly carpet in the family room (play areas for kids)....

re: Labor Only Electrician

[quote]Lol, no it won’t. Not close.[/quote]
Materials + time = profit
I'm going to make my 'parts mark up' profit one way or another. It's just going to be on the labor instead of materials.
No man off the street is getting a better price on materials than any reputable contractor. Only a fo...

re: Labor Only Electrician

But OP is going to have every single part & piece with extra spares incase something is wrong or breaks. It will be the exact stuff the electrician is used to working with too.
OP, let the electrician do his job and make some money. They aren't short for work and it sets a tone of cheapness on t...

Grill
Side burners
Sink with hot & cold
Trash
Cabinet doors for access under everything with hanging racks for utensils, grill brushes, etc.
Egg/smoker if you do it a lot
A drop-in griddle does pizza, breakfast and blackening.
Maybe a double or triple drawer if you have that much ...
re: Drift roses: salt tolerant?
Posted by FLOtiger on 9/30/22 at 3:14 pm
Drift roses can be finicky to start.
Make sure they aren't planted too deep (wet).
That much salt is eventual death for almost everything.
1) rerouting your overflow. The plants aren't hungry. Probably ph lockout for nutrient issues due to the salt
2) not much. Bougainvillea, blanket flower...
re: What are you grocery bills like lately? (Include # in household please)

Don't really pay attention.

re: Contractor asking for half up front
Posted by FLOtiger on 7/20/22 at 12:44 pm
50% upfront isn't the issue. It's the 50% being $2000 that a contractor can't float.
I've worked at places that did half & half payments and places that did 30:70 and others that did thirds.
All are fine but not for something under 10k...

Ask yourself what it would take for you to get a credit card with just a $10,000 limit
Is it really going to be that good of a deal to risk $2k of cash?...
