<~~~15 year journeyman painter turned accounting professional... as soon as I find the right job lol

i can build a house btw....it's the stupid regs that get annoying

Yep... I can do everything from the frame up, besides major electrical

got to the point u can't build anything locally unless u have permits and drafting plans

only electrical i won't do is feed to the home...everything else i'll do

few yrs back i had to legally replace the wiring in my home..we did it ourselves and had professionals do the meter end of it

Just leave the wires sticking out everywhere and give me all the outlets and fixtures and I'm good to install

had the professionals do the inspections too

Yeah, I wont touch the fuse box install or wiring. Dont want to go to prison in 10 years if there is a fire

i've seen contractors skip on code....and they make more money than me...seem to have the city reg inspectors on the payroll too

also.....they be non 'documented' contractors

so it lets them slide in the courts around here when somebody complains

Yeesh... the Swamp is EVERYWHERE lol

but they're forgetting one thing....just because u don't understand english..doesn't mean the code isn't translated to ur language

I care about the quality and durability of my work. What's so hard about that

??

??

anyway...back to the story

those that are old school trained....ppl want and need built to last, not 'biodegradable' ....at the very least make it safe and reusable or recyclable

Damn right. And I was adding the "??" I forgot to put on the end of the comment above

the biodegradable stuff becomes the fuel to recycle the other stuff

because after it starts to degrade, only use left is the fire pit

Of course "old school" gave us lead and asbestos in the building materials

all that hype about plastics...if they only knew....most of it doesn't come from petrol oil...it comes from plants..it always has come from them

well lead isn't that big of an issue than asbestos is

majority of the copper pipes in ur homes are lead sealed

the only lead u need to worry about is in the paint...and most of that has been taken care of

and if u really look into the chemical nature of asbestos ...compared to other silicone based materials...it's not that much different..it's the fiberous version of it that makes it dangerous as a dust

Well my company held the market in the high end homes here and all of them were built 80-100 years ago so unless they've already been renovated and remodeled in the last 50 years, they have lead still. Those paint jobs just went from $15-20k up to $50-75k just because of the regs on dealing with the lead, unless you're just painting over it without sanding it scraping at all. You ignore that and get caught, its 100k fine per day per employee for the length you were working at that house. It sunk a big company here over night

ya...don't skimp on the codes...do them up a few notches instead

make ur old work become the new standard code
