That's not good. That could destroy the foundation of the house

@Rick how deep where you when you started to hit clay?

probably 12-15 feet.

If the break is outside I believe they can dig that out and splice into the old pipe from outside. Don't quote me on that, code is different in some states. But let's get real most plumbing is common sense haha. If the pipe is still in good shape under the house.

I have had roots before and they just grinded through. Hopefully, that's all that needs to be done.

Oh ok, well hopefully that's all it is. I'd get rid of that tree. Haha

I cucked and paid a plumber to clean it with a professional snake.

Did he say you broke it?

@Rick

no. he cleared it.

didn't say it was broken, but that there was a lot of hard junk in it.

cost me $100.

That's not bad at all

I'd pay that for peace of mind

Yeah I think that was totally worth it

I wonder how clay got in your pipe

Pretty fair price. Maybe some hippies with an underground pottery class were there washing their hand for years before.

Guten Tag alle.

Wie ist es mit dir gegangen, @⚡Clark⚡?

@everyone Is there anyone with experience as a military contractor?

Worked for TC for a year.

@SamanthaM

@Deleted User Awesome! Do you have any advice as to how a startup might make industry connections? Thank you for your time.

The way i met mine was through some guys i met who had done a lot of contracting already. What job did you have in mind? I just did PSD and static positions. My advice would be to apply on something low level, have to get your foot in the door. The recruiters usually reply back within a day or 2 if you meet the requirements.

Ok, thank you. I'm asking for a prospect who's a tech startup looking for contracting work.

@everyone This video is a great reference! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mTFQbaT3Zc

Hey all, does anyone here work for a general construction contractor?

@everyone ^^^

@John O - I used to, heavy marine and highway work

Damn, not quite what I'm looking for. Thanks anyway, brother

I worked for a few home buliders and 1 commercial. What's your question? @John O -

There we go. I'm working on getting a general contractor's license. Any tips? I know there's not much you can say that would be valuable to me, since every state has different requirements, etc

@John O - shop around for insurance

that was probably the biggest hurdle in louisiana

Honestly no, I wish you the best😃 I've never taken that journey, only worked for them. KY only licenses electric, plumbing and HVAC. Not my area of expertise.
But like @Goose said insurance. I did cable as a contractor and that was the biggest bump around here as well to get over.

Sorry brother @John O -

@Deleted User might know something

KY doesn't have a general contractor's license?
