"New Member"
Hello, I am a 28 year old man who has been in the general construction business for about 12 years now.I've been a lead person in a small construction outfit for about 7 yrs. In Feb i decided it was time to go on my own. It has been crazy since then.Im looking forward to getting lots of advice and direction from this site.The winter is coming up and that scares me!! My phone doesnt ring that often yet to be secure enough not to worry.Hope i can learn a few things here....Looking forward to it.

Re: "New Member"
Hello, Jeremy...and all the rest. I'm a new member as well. Just signed up, after finding y'all through "google".
I'm twice-retired, (US Army, 1985 and Publishing/Advertising Executive, 2007). I'm just starting my "third career" as an Independent Residential Tradesman, (fancy-talk for handyman). I have acquired all the necessary skills over the years, (Carpentry, AC & DC installation and repair, appliance and electronics installation, painting, deck & small building construction and etc). It amazes me that I'm getting paid pretty well for something that I used to do for free....and enjoy as a bonus! I'm not exactly sure how the forums and threads work, but I have a quick question for anyone who might me more experienced with "painting estimates". My neighbor, (who has extensively borrowed my tools and skills over the years), is selling his home. He asked me for a quote to paint approximately 750 SF of ceiling. It's in very good shape and might get by with only one coat, (NOT using cheap paint). It'll require very little crack repair and some limited water stain coverage. I'm providing the KILZ, he'll buy the paint and will also move and cover his furniture. I told him that I'd do it for $500 USD. I'm also covering an unused AC outlet in his kitchen pass-through, ($20 bucks for knowing what NOT to touch). Was this quote appropriate for the requested paint work in this, (Atlanta), area? I won the job, but am curious, since I don't get that much paint work. Looking forward to a daily visit to this great website. Warmest regards...The SARGE!

Re: "New Member"
What a coincidence! Anyone OUR age who's NOT a JB fan is a loser! We ALL want to retire in Margaritaville!
Newnan is about 65 miles southeast from my home base, (Snellville). Business here is slowing down over the holiday season. I'll get LOTS of call after, though. All those daddies who just can't put the toys and gym sets together... |

Re: "New Member"
I'm new here on the site. I needed advise on something and found this forum thru a search, and ended reading all kinds of stuff here almost forgetting why i came here then ended up joining. I'm from NJ and started my home remodeling business in 06 after working for people for years. there's nothing like working for yourself! anyway, it's great to be here!
