He as averaging about 36.92 per day(or something close to that)

Been couple days[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] If he continues to hold out, his avg posts will continue to go down and he no longer will be the "POST HO"

Maybe that's his strategy[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Hope the "hubby" didn't come home "TO EARLY" for him to get dressed and out the door[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]on his own accord[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

With his good luck she's a widow with lots of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Could be. I just happened to see the bills come in this year.

That seems to be about what my friend pays for his. $500...hell I don't even pay that for my portion of rent! EEEK. I'm sure granny's is low as she's owned the house since new (1957) and lived in it for most of that except around the early 70s when they (granny, grandpa & my aunt) lived in Hinkley (the town from Erin Brokovich. Mom didn't heed granny's advice to wash her hair in bottled water....says her hair never was the same. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] ) She just put a new roof on this summer, so they might reasses the house.

you snivelling whiners!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] , yep, up here in good 'ol socialist Canada with universal health care, we don't pay a fraction of your taxes.... NOT!!! they say we work until July 1 to pay all our taxes, then we start working for ourselves. awww man, ya just gotta love socialism and all the BSocial programs for the lazy and useless. I guess when ya get taxation overload, there's some natural revolt. on consumer purchases (especially tradesmen), guys always try to negotiate cash prices. On used vehicles, guys write half what they actually paid on the transfer paper, to avoid taxes, and neither the seller or purchaser care. atvs aren't registered, so taxes are only paid new, or on dealer sales, not on private sales.

skinner, is your boss a pimp or a drug dealer? could he maybe share a fraction of the wealth with the working stiffs? He sounds like Montgomery Burns. We may have to re-name you Smithers. So does he have a Chef and food-taster on staff?? which plane...sheesh. is that when the limos are out of commission? Hmm, which Rolls do i want to drive from the mansion to the cottage this week?naw, I'll fly the Lear jet instead (made by Bombardier, a Canadian company[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] ).

 

on the auto hubs... isn't that all electronics, whereas manual allows you to byass the electronic feature? my guess is some sorta electronic computer doo-dad. what about starting simple and checking fuses??

in the late 90's models, when they offered Auto only, all my logger cousins had them switched to manual. apparently they said auto wasn't very good, but then i heard it was perception. so i dunno. auto hasn't let us down. occasionally, i'll lock in just because.

 

Nope, electrical contractor. A right wing, certified (aka NRA sticker in back window of truck) gun toting nut.

Don't ask my brother. He goes around correcting people's work that make 80% more than he does.

Nope, no limos. Only sedan is an '01 Lincoln LS that his wife drives. He drives or flies himself everwhere. He hates private jets (pre-flight takes WAY too long for his liking.) Mansion...no...he lives in a gated community in the "classy" area of town. Still cost $750K though. No Rolls either (I think it's too flashy for him. Everything except the LS (his wife "bought" it), Stang & VTX is white. He just likes things fast):

Boss:
'99 Lightning (only if it's dry out)
'00 F-150 std cab flareside 4x4 XLT 5.4L (when it's wet or just feels like it).
'03 or '04 Honda VTX1300 (black of course)
'69 Mustang Fastback (powder blue)
Piper Aerostar 600
Piper Arrow (with Aerostar paint scheme. White with two tone blue striping.)

Wife:
'03 Lincoln LS (silver color....gorgeous)

Coast House:
'97 F-150 std cab flareside XLT 5.4L
'99 Expedition XLT 5.4L

Every company vehicle we have is white. The foreman's trucks are marked...except for one...good thing...talk about road rage!. Which is nice...doesn't actually show dirt all that much.

well dude, he's makin some serious coin for all dem toys. he must have a huge operation. cuz when yer makin $$, all yer competitors are gunnin for ya, trying to undercut or trash ya. and you need lots of employees to make surplus cash. that's why i eke out a living=no employees.

 

I think we do about $5M a year in business. Seriously, that's all. But some of our projects have been known to pull 100% profit. Bascially it costs us 1/2 of what we charge to do the work. This year isn't going to be too great. Been having to pay a LOT of OT and DoubleOT. We've done more business, but make the same amount of money. Boss says forget it. He likes the size and profitability. Why work your butt off when you can keep busy and still make the same amount in the end.

We tend to work directly for the customer, and not as a sub to a general. Though our most profitable work is as a sub to a large refrigeration company. We are working on our 10th project with them in probably 10 years. Usually do one a year, maybe less, sometimes more, at least recently. I believe last year was 3 projects (TX, FL and CA). This year is 2.

The boss has owned the planes for a while now. The Aerostar goes back to 80s at the least. He used to fly it as a corporate aircraft for his cousin. Not sure when he got the Arrow. They do run so much through the company and use it for tax breaks. Though he didn't like the $15K bill from the IRS when they disallowed the aircraft as business exemption. He fought and now prorates costs based on business/personal use. (They (him and his wife) actually paid more in taxes last year than she made. She's a teacher set to retire this year so I'm going to assume low-to-mid 40K income. He takes $120K in salary. Its only been in the last 7-8 years from what I've been told that the company got real profitable. He used to do a lot of commercial work which doesn't bring much money around here. Now we try to stick with industrial work, with refrigeration our big bread winner. We do maintain business with a super market company and build 1-2 supermarkets per year. They can be ok profit wise as we've done so many we know what it's going to take.

We don't really have too many problems with other elec. contractors around here. We do so little work locally they don't bother us. Our biggest problem is the local IBEW hall. They cause us more problems. Hell, they can legally harass you and there's nothing you can do about it. Unions helped some people out, now, it's all about the Union making money. They actively try to destroy any non-union shop. Though from what I hear one local Union shop is trying to push them out and is using the rules to do it. They call for guys, and if they suck, send em home at noon with a full-day pay, never to be rehired back. Once you go through the hall, you can go outside the hall to get help. Gotta love legal uncompetitive business practices, extortion, etc. all in the name of "Workers' Rights."

Well, maybe that's his plan, seeing he's hanging around the alleys every week and the age group sure fits the bill[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
