That's a lotta dang copper !!!
Somebody really needs to tell him it's spelled, clique.
Now back on topic.
Fuck all of these people who throw their fast food trash out of their vehicle windows.
Lazy slobs.
Makes you wonder what the inside of their homes, and their yards, must look like.
Ha! I was waiting for a "Falconing" on the click dealio.
Fuck people that dump dogs in the country. They are pieces of shit.
Morning ladies....

Well, I guess the ball's in his court to clarify. I have no opinion on this one. Just been watching the back and forth and was curious. To be fair, a lot of this goes over my head because I don't expect people to be evil. It takes a while for me to figure that out.

Nobody expected Google to become evil.....
There is that
our new user Black Pilled seems like a good edition to this thread
In a Kanye thread about a year ago I was talking about the Nazi problem in America and I was told there is no Nazi problem in America.
Don't let the board go down that road.
Anyone that self-identifies as "black pilled" is probably beating himself up bad enough in life, I don't think any amount of fuck you's will make an impact. Let's all chip in and get him a Jewish hooker.
Are you claiming you knew the universities were going to get over run with Nazi folk?
Man..... Fuck these kids that have no business working construction. Give them a task, set them up, draw a quick isometric on a stud to follow, ask if they understand and, they decide to do it differently. Used up a fuck load of fittings that were pulled for another area. After saying, what did you do, you get, “well, I was just thinking”. WTF!!! I told you specifically how to do it for a reason. Then, they cop an attitude because, they didn’t listen. I had to cut out close to $600 worth of copper pipe and, fittings. 2 1/2” copper pipe and, fittings isn’t cheap.
Fuck all this being professional and, taking “fweeelingz” into account. Oversold himself to the shop during the discussion of experience and, I’ll be damned.
Guess who’s digging ditches in the rain tomorrow cause, he was just thinking. Fuck these kids!!!
Couple of years ago a 20 something came onto the jobsite.
Came over to my shop area when he heard I was looking for some installation help.
The more I let him talk about his experience, the more I could tell he was full of shit.
Finally told him to go over to the wall, with my 4' level and tape, set a benchmark and find the highpoint in the floor, and mark where the studs were.
"What's a benchmark??"
Like Manny says...
Had a kid plumber do some work last week. Fuck him! I'm 100 miles away and with Sydney getting bit last week I couldn't make the time to drive up north to do the work myself. Back story, I get an email that both toilets are leaking and can something be done. OK, I'll call a local company and have them take care of it. I got pictures of one of the leaks, they put those tablets in that make the water blue (this is important for later). So I tell them turn off the petcock and flush the toilet once to drain the tank. I think the leak is from the tank and that'll stop the leak till the plumber shows up. Bath 2 they can put a bucket under the leak and catch the water. (plumber company)OK, yes we can come out today (last Thursday). Nope, we are behind can't make it till tomorrow. OK, Friday morning. Mr. ToolMaker, I believe you need a new wax ring on the one toilet and a new supply line in bath 2, and washer hoses are leaking. OK young grasshopper plumber, I'm authorizing your $1,000 quote please start. 6:00 that night, phone call from junior apprentice. I replaced the wax ring but your tank bolts need replacing, there's still a leak. Well young grasshopper, I believe that was the real source of the leak and the wax ring did not need replacing but how much to change the bolts and leave? $180. $180! Are you fucking kidding me? to replace 2 bolts and 2 rubber washers? Get the hell out! For that price I'll do it myself (principle mind you) Saturday morning, new call, bath 2 has a lot of water on the floor, it's still leaking. Turn off the water please and I'll call dumbshit plumbing. So I call plumber company, you need to come fix your work I can't have both toilets out of commission. Yes, I'm the answering service but I'll call and let them know. I wait an hour and call back, if you can't go there I'll need to send someone else to fix it and back charge you. (I still haven't paid them yet). Nope they never call back. Sunday I drive up. Sure as shit, wax ring was not the problem. The toilet is calked to the floor and if the wax ring was the problem the only water escapement is the toilet bolt holes but no blue stains on the other side of the toilet at the bolt hole. And since the water is blue, you just follow the blue to the source. So I fix that. Bath 2 needs a new flush valve as the supply line will not seal with the bottom. So replace the flush valve and fix that leak. Monday. I call dipshit plumbing. You guys fucked up, not even a call back. you're not getting paid for anything but the washer hoses. And this is why......
Yes sir, your assessment and details seem accurate and we fucked up, we will remove all bad work and unnecessary work from the bill.
Fuck DUMB plumbers!!!!! Ruined my whole Sunday.
I was a Mod once, in the Great White North………..I clicked myself. True Story!
I knew our institutions of higher learning were socialist/communist breeding ground, indoctrination camps, but the Nazi anti-Semite turn has shocked me.
It’s frustrating trying to get decent help. I know everyone starts the exact same place I did. I’ll never forget this early days. Digging ditches, jackhammering, packing cast iron bathtubs up four flights of stairs, drilling the framing out. Gets old people thinking they need to exaggerate their experience to get a job. Just be honest. It’s like, “you’re an apprentice”. It’s my job to teach you. If I see they have something in them, I’ll go the extra mile myself trying to make them better. The only way to get that is training them with realistic expectations..
It’s not like the guys in the site don’t have the new guy under the microscope scrutinizing their work. We’re responsible for the dumb ass mistakes. If course we’re watching.
All I ask of an apprentice is match 60% of my skillset at that point in my career. I had some really good foreman teaching me that I’m still friends with to this day. It’s pretty easy to look back and, think. I was on this job and, we were doing this and, working on that for all five years of my apprenticeship. I didn’t really start understanding the systems until about my third year in.
And, fuck running work LOL.
I agree…the Jews were the one group that was off limits for criticism…so I’m shocked all the liberal gen z’ers and colleges are so eager to burn down their campuses, and go jail over the Jews.
Im always shocked at which side the liberals conservatives take on any issue…and sometimes it doesn’t make sense…for example: police….youd think since the police are the enforcement arm of government, the pro small government conservatives would be anti cop (or at least keeping police forces in check), and the pro government liberals would be pro cop….but it’s the opposite.
Pit Row
$1000 plus $180? We’re the bolts platinum? I did an on call rotation years ago at a commercial shop that also did service plumbing. The going rate for service was $220 per hour plus, material. After hours, emergency work was double that.
You were charged that rate because of the hours requested I would imagine. Two hours plus parts?
I could build a new toilet in ten minutes and, have it installed, up and, running within an hour. That includes, pulling the old toilet. The thing is, the moment that van or, truck starts, the clock was running all the way to the job and, until the job was completed. That shop used to get mad because I’d hammer out a job and, only charge two hours. Why didn’t you take longer? Because it was 1 am when I got the call and, I have a job to run starting in three hours. “CLICK”..... Good thing I did ok running jobs or, they would’ve gotten rid of my ass a long time ago LOL.
Chance? Fuck You!
Haven’t talked to you in a while. So, say hi to my bro out in the garage.
Now, Fuck Off! (That last one was dedicated to a certain old-school-drummer’s memory…so, fuck off!)
Not specifically. It was when Kanye was hanging out with Nick Fuentes and went on Alex Jones with his Net-and-yoohoo bit. I never liked Kanye, but he was huge with people my age back when his first couple albums dropped, he's gone way off the deep end now, last I saw he was trying to start yeezy porn.
I posted a bunch of anti-semitic clips from Nick Fuentes who's fans are the groypers, hard right Catholic is how you would describe them.
There's been a big push for Islam among the youth with Andrew Tate converting recently and evangelizing to his followers.
Anyway fuck these grifters, troublemakers, and social media algorithms trying to weaken the USA, the greatest country in the world.
Haha!! Banana Berry Manny!! Fuck You. 😂
Casper says, DEEZ 🥜 and, FUCK YOU!! 😂
Speaking of drummers, here’s that cowbell I was telling you about... I believe it’s the first one he ever bought.
True Classic 👍🏼
Yup, the first $1k was 3 things. Replace wax ring in bath 1, replace petcock and supply line to toilet in bath 2, replace washer supply hoses.
Then, wanted an additional $180 to replace the 2 tank mounting bolts and rubber washers.
If I were that guy, I'd have just done it and not said anything at all. Then, nobody would have questioned the bad assessment. The funny part was, the bolts were just loose. But since I drove all the way up, I put new rubber washers in.

Fuuuuck meeee I'm in the wrong business, A grand to change a wax ring, a toilet angle stop and supply hose, and a washer hose ? That's a grand ? One thousand dollars... Even if every aspect of those 3 tasks went completely fubar how in the fuck is that worth a grand ? Thank god I can fix that stuff at my house. I think if I got quoted a grand to do those 3 things I'd chase that guy off my property. I understand the company has to bid jobs high enough to cover unexpected problems, and a truck and tools and parts to stock and lots of time invested in training a guy and workers comp and insurance and all the bullshit costs involved with hiring guys and running a business but, ...that still doesn't seem like a grand worth of work.
A friend of mine had a split on a copper line almost two years ago. To cut out a 6” section and, use two shark bites, he was charged $600. Thirty minutes worth of work.
I went down to California and, ended up removing the shark bites and, sweating in two couplings for him. Any plumber with half a mind would not use shark bites.
Just like everything-else in life…
Sometimes, you’ve got to take a torch to it.
Well there's definitely a wide range of talent being a tradesmen! And unless you know someone, it's a crap shoot what you'll get.

I said FUCK IT to my whole business yesterday, so much bullshit happened at the same time I threw up my hands and said fuck this shit, fuck this business, fuck this job, fuck that bitch clueless health inspector, fuck these customers, just fuck IT ALL. I'm going riding Fukem. I quit work at 1:30 and went and rode the luge for the first time, then went to cooks corner and started drinking. Fuck it. Best afternoon in awhile !
Now off to put out fires, scoop up the pieces and sweet talk my way back into some customers hearts lol.
Dood, I hate those days. Good on ya for shutting down and going riding! I hope that inspires me to do the same on those days.
