Tip. For a single tile replacement use hot water rather than cold in a small amount of regular mortar mix and it works just like fast set mortar. Don't use this for more than that because it will dry too fast for anything else.
#2 question was good. Sucks pushing people/work off but like you said you just got to say I’ll put you on the schedule. BUT I always think about the customers social circle. Example. Older couple on the big money side of town gets a higher priority than a young couple new to town.
I'm out of work, lost 100% of all my scheduled jobs for April, maybe May as well. I also lost a ton of scheduled work for the Olympics. I love the 3rd channel. Cheers
I did a clean up and remodel job on a gas station. Owner said there were dead rats. Seal holes and fix ac duct work. Ended up doing alot more than just that. Almost walked away from the job when I was in the attic. Removed section of duct work and was immediately covered in live and biting rats. Jumped up, took a nail to the head from the roof nails, fell through the ceiling. Dont worry, there soda machine broke my fall and it broke to pieces, along with me breaking the counter and a section of back wall falling out of the building from rotten wood, decaying sheetrock, and complete care from them piling up dirt all around the back of the building to patch the holes from the rats. Was not a great evening. To top it off, i patched myself up, was working in the bathroom at 4:30 that morning from a night full of a bloody head and a hell of a mess. I was working on the bathroom, waiting for the pest control guy to show up at 7 that morning and I hear a knock on the door. Its 5 sheriffs deputy's staring me down with guns drawn. Blood all over my clothes, rips and tears in my clothes, bandage on my leg, forehead, and arm from the fall. Unlocked the door, and had to explain very politely that I was working there. On the ground, in handcuffs, they searched the place and came back to me asking questions. My wife called them because I didn't come home that night and was working 60 miles from home in the middle of the woods. There was no cell reception, so none of my calls went through to let her know I was working late. They saw me and thought I killed someone. After the talk, we had a good laugh. They let me get back to work. And I ended up getting a nice bit of work out of the wall falling out and ceiling being destroyed.
@@TheHandymanBusiness you motivated me start my business. I launched February first this year. Glad I planed to run with out profit for a few months. My primary is a pension from the army. So I will come out the otherside. Did you do any videos on the SBA stuff?
I agree that the money is going to be in repairs/maintenance. I have a rotted deck rebuild I’m supposed to start tomorrow, unfortunately my wife has become sick and I’m the one taking care of her...work is gonna have to wait!
I bought some Delta stocks and then Warren Buffett sold all his Delta and Southwest! LOL Looking at the oil stocks, marijuana stocks, and believe it or not, Cruise ship stocks. They have been hit hard but have always bounced back. Looking to move into some if not all of those come Monday. BTW.... Great content today HM!! PS have bought lots of TSLA too!!
I'm just going to throw this out, every time they(our illustrious government) flood the economy with bailouts, stimulus checks, or some other kind of thing where they put more bills(paper money) into the market, it causes false inflation and oil will go up, like currently, OPEC has dropped their price per barrel, but we aren't seeing that at the pumps like we should, its because they have already started putting part of that 2 trillion into the economy thru what is called, "Flooding" it is going to keep our price at the pump inflated and I am looking for gold to go up again, Buy some oil now, if you can afford it, then, when you notice gold going up, SELL! SELL! SELL! and buy gold, if gold quadruples, sell it and buy silver, it will mean we all will be standing in the soup line and silver will start to go up, if we ever end up into a depression, like the crash of '29, if you have silver, you will be able to feed your family, because due to false inflation, silver will go up 100-300 %, this is how all of these elite and dynasty families have made their fortunes over time. I keep silver on hand, ounce coins .999 fine silver only, if it doesn't say it on the coin, it isn't .999 fine silver, or I buy bars, I will trade in the coins for a 10 ounce bar or 20 ounce etc.. Also, like the Handyman says, Blue Chip are where you need to be, or have a plan to get there, the penny stocks are fun to do, like a lot of things on these apps like Robinhood and eTrade and I also say, Get you a professional, if you have any amount of retirement, move if you don't like your current one, go with someone you can trust and build a personal relationship with, that person will break their back to keep your retirement when the proverbial crap hits the fan, rather than just say, "Oh well, that's life, you knew there were risk"
Thats what I do. Take your pic, keep your customers happy, turn down jobs from new customers that dont want to pay enough, go out of my way to impress new customers that can lead to more work. I dont turn down any free estimates for you never know what this customer will lead to' Thanks Handyman, I need all your investing tips and tricks. I'm not getting younger faster than ever
I bough early on an ETF too. Not a big deal. I just had to watch it go down past what I bough it for. It will be a longer time before I see it worth more then I bought if for.
Do what you know !!! Study in your spare time what you feel you may be asked to do in the future. Tools can speed up work. Look professional. No Budweiser or Ozzy t-shirts. Where just a plain shirt. Use google calendar. Research, research, research!!! Clean, clean, clean!!!!!!! Drop cloths, drop cloths, drop cloths!!!! Get moving blankets at Harbor Freight!! Keep your vehicle clean inside or out.
S&P 500 index funds my friend. I sleep better betting on the entire US economy vs. betting on individual companies. You seems to be picking good individual stocks but it's much easier to predict the movement of aircraft carriers vs. small boats.
The Handyman Business No kidding! I was trying to buy a 11.0 CC last year out of Florida. It had a Pathfinder 50 hp Volkswagen Diesel engine which I’m very familiar with. After I finish renovating our house here on Cape Cod I plan to return to Florida and buy a Tartan 37, those 11.0’s are far and few between. Why did you sell yours, no time to use it?
I'm not an expert but I don't see a boom in new home construction for a while. It was 13 years ago that I worked for them. It was a messed up company. The Horton family are a bunch of wackos. LOL.
If it's possible for you to easily "drag and drop" older project pics into a montage video that would be interesting. As long as you don't have " I will remember you" playing in the background. lol
Hey Handyman, on Robinhood, I have learned to use the candlestick graph, well I learned to use that way back when, in the oldendays, like 2003 or 04, LOL But that gives more information than just the line or sinewave graph, just a heads up to you and the rest, its like in the matrix, once you learn to read what your looking at, it makes more sense.
I find real estate agents to be the best resource. Go to open houses, and engage in conversation. When you find someone that sends you a few referrals, send a handwritten thank you and a Starbucks gift card. Repeat these steps when you are slow.
In an up market yes, in this market, my brother and my cousin, are carpenters, both are usually very busy, my cousin has Ben out of work for three weeks, my brother has enough work for about two months, after that, there is nothing on the horizon.
@@angryw4nderer I agree after thousands of years gold and silver is proven, plus if you don't want the government to know what you have its an excellent option. Can't tax what is not in the bank, stocks, on the other hand, is all fake money that can disappear quickly. I invest in both but i don't expect our fake money system to last in my lifetime.
I signed up for that app that you suggested. I can remember the name but you are wearing the sweater but I am not getting leads or job from it what do I need to do to start getting them?
Customers in your town have to have the app and use it to find people to work on their homes. Its going to be a while before it gets popular enough to work where you are. Give it time. Since it doesn't cost you anything just keep it and wait.
Hey brother ,work is picking up and I did myself starting 2 or 3 jobs at a time, I'm a one man team whose son works for me occasionally on weekends. Is it better to get 3 jobs started up than have customers wait ,thank you.
Hey Handyman, I Direct Messaged you for the super Secret channel! Been here a long time. The secret channel is all about big trucks, big guns, and fun.
HANDYMAN HEADQUARTERS no I think it’s underground and somewhere between the water meter at the street and the main shutoff in the laundry room of the house. I plan to change the main gate valve to a ball valve because the gate leaks within the system slightly.
You can shut your water main off where it comes into the house. Then see if the meter is still spinning. You can shut the water off at the meter in your meter pit to change the main valve.
The Handyman Business right, however when the house is isolated the meter indicates water usage. I think the leak is in the yard. I have some water in the street but no evidence that it came from my yard. No obvious leak on my property.
I didn't buy or sell anything this week. I had it open for at least an hour a day checking things. Did you have problems with it? I downloaded webull just in case robing hood wouldn't let me buy. `
The Handyman Business yeah it had a down period on one of the days. The weeks are kind of a blur these days, but it casued a lot of issues with some. I am a crypto guy as well, so I use Coinbase for that. Do you dabble in crypto? The signs are getting stronger of a non fiat system
