San Diego Josh ☀️🌴🚲

Lots of new followers from the La Jolla post. I’m a general contractor just north of there, in Encinitas. We mainly do kitchen and bath renovations and TI projects. I also invest in real estate in Indiana, where I’m from. I usually post about construction, RE, taxes and cars.

@WarhorseDiv @Polymarket It does when they come back to do it again…

@Polymarket Doesn’t make a difference when everyone has expired tags and stolen plates.

NEW: Home Depot & Lowe's to install parking lot cameras with license plate readers amid a surge in shoplifting.

@Cody_Is_Boring “Thanks for your interest. It doesn’t sound like we’re a good fit for your needs.”

Those of you in construction, how would you respond to this email? Would you even bother responding?

@TiredBambooLaw @LA_Multi_Fam It’s hard to when candidates make statements like that. 🤷

@JoshInEncinitas @LA_Multi_Fam Did you see the one where I said people aren't engaging with anything in good faith

It’s been genuinely embarrassing to see 95% of Yimby’s not understanding how a growing group of Angelino’s are frustrated with the state of crime and homelessness. Their candidate has continually voted to keep encampments next to schools, supported needle handouts and given us soft on crime rhetoric and policy. She’s disqualified for many of us.

@colindhernandez @LA_Multi_Fam The “commodification” of housing would be a good thing. Ubiquitous, plentiful, interchangeable, competitive. You’re thinking of the financialization of housing, which would still be fine if politicians allowed supply.

@LA_Multi_Fam You want crime & homelessness to end? Then house people. The commodification of housing has exacerbated homelessness & thus crime. Housing people makes us safer. Feeding & educating our kids makes us safer. Making sure people's basic needs are met makes us safer.

@TiredBambooLaw @LA_Multi_Fam Treatment or jail. What’s yours?

@LA_Multi_Fam Like it's a dumb fucking thing to say. But it is also true that the homeless person does not just go away becuare they're not by a school, and all you're doing is displacing them to another district. And luckily for all of us, that measure still passed. So what's Pratts plan?

@TiredBambooLaw @LA_Multi_Fam Did you see the one where she blames Toyota for making catalytic converters too easy to steal?

@LA_Multi_Fam I have seen the video. That was one vote. It also isn't engaging with her point in good faith at all, which is to say that criminalizing homelessness does not actually solve the problem of homelessness. One stupid sentence does not actually represent her whole position

@LA_Multi_Fam Two guys who don’t have to deal with it. Cool. Cool.

@pmtiegs Should be less. Find a Honda mechanic.

Family friend's van was making some concerning sounds, I had them go get it looked at. 2014 Honda Odyssey with 150k miles. Repair will be $10k to put in a used (50k mile) engine. Do you repair or cut your losses and buy a different van?

@Soaringeagle45 A pack of paper shims and we’re good.

Time for Sheetrock! 💪

Let’s see AI take this plumber’s job. 💪

@levelsio Google Sheets for your accounting?

Americans might be "why would you need an invoice?" which is also why it's so hard to get invoices from American companies and also why you get the meme about Germans who have the most strict IRS in the world and will always email you a year later "rechnung bitte!!!" (invoice please!) So in the rest of the world accounting usually works like this: You spend $1, now you need to account for that $1 with a bank or card transaction which you tie to an invoice/receipt If you can't account for that with an invoice/receipt, your accountant won't account it as an expense, so it won't be a cost, so it won't reduce your profit, so you will pay more tax If I can't account $100,000 I spend as a cost for my business with an invoice, I will pay ~$20,000 in corporate tax for that money, which was a cost infact! No way around it In my opinion this accounting only helps to reduce GDP, because hours spend every month by a business owner like me could be spend building more cool stuff which people pay for and which give me more money In another way it reduces GDP because as you see it makes me stop spending my money on costs, I try reduce my costs to $0 not just because I like it, but because bookkeeping for expenses is such a heinous waste of my time Expense accounting in the rest of the world should work like it does in America: you spend money, there's a bank/card transaction, and that's sufficient. Then if the IRS decides to audit you, you simply go back and get the invoices then, not when you spend the money, much easier! Stop wasting business owner's precious time 😊

One time I cut down on a pair of wire crimpers to go through TSA with exactly the tools I needed to go fix something for a customer. The gate agent that confiscated a tool prior was the same one that tried it a second time until I made him get a tape measure. He was visibly disappointed🤣 I then asked why a flathead screwdriver was allowed because it could actually kill someone but was under the length 🤦

@ph43701 @photoncmndr I wonder about that with my Milwaukee screwdriver with removable bits. Literally on a flight right now and almost chanced it.

@photoncmndr Product idea - pliers - cutter - etc., with removable handles to clear TSA

@mnolangray @Barchart Isn’t the source literally on the chart?

@Barchart This is too large of an account to be stealing charts and reposting without attribution.

BREAKING 🚨: U.S. Housing Market Home Sellers now outnumber Buyers by 630,000, the largest gap ever recorded 🤯👀

@cashrulesNC They either weren’t alive or weren’t paying attention in 08…

The people that think it would be easy to buy a house if we had another housing crash amuse me

@DohnJaniel @jamesonhaslam Big fines in CA.

@jamesonhaslam Cash but then you’re doing the devils work

another day, another candidate asking if there’s a way to avoid the child support garnishment from their potential paycheck

How are we feeling about dogs on the furniture in the airport? I love dogs, but where’s the line? Genuinely curious.

Co-sign.

@NathanQuinlanGC @critterdave So the job had special circumstances, but sub wasn’t notified? I get subs being knuckleheads, but I don’t know…

@critterdave Nope, it wasn't a spot where that could safely be done.

Reached out to a new plumber two weeks ago for an easy job: install two hose bibs. Confirmed for today, met on site, walked through the plan… then she admits she doesn’t have a pro press. You know, the main tool plumbers use to actually install plumbing. Showed up ready to do plumbing… without the ability to do plumbing. Mondays 😂

@MaxArmand “Hi. Thanks for your interest. I typically don’t have clients who want to offer seller financing. I can reach out if something changes.”
