@Matt_Titan_ I’m in what’s the catch!

I can’t sleep. For the last few months, I’ve been building the best roofing software known to man. Does anyone want to try it? It’s basically a way more capable JobNimbus or Roofr. $25 per account. Unlimited seats. For a limited time only since we’re still in private beta.

@jamesonhaslam Sounds roofing but even tighter? 35% gross is a solid target

The thing is, in my world, the revenue amount is completely meaningless. There is infinite construction work available if you’re willing to work for free (less than 25% gross margin) There’s near infinite work at 35% gross margin but you don’t make any money

@andywalkerhq Doesn’t everybody in the world have AAA

Battery died in my car. Called a mobile repair business. This is what they quoted me for replacement. What do you guys think?

@GamewithDave It’s a hard tie between Space Quest, Beneath a Steel Sky, Myst and 7th Guest

For anyone who used a computer between 1990 & 2005… what’s the one game you still think about?

@jamesonhaslam Live view of guy posting.

I love the internet

@jamesonhaslam How do reviews work with this

Second GBP locked and loaded happy hunting

@AhmadxVibez It’s heartbreaking to kill nazis??

One of the most heartbreaking scenes in the history of movies 🎬

@moorehn And this is why the elite private school kids I met at Stanford were mostly out of touch and useless as human beings (but great future capitalists and socialites).

This is a common, very bourgeois error about the purpose of private school. The purpose of private school is not academic achievement. It is to establish a child within a social network of contacts that will help their career and marriage prospects for life.

@FinFreedom414 B, no doubt. If we only have one life I want all of it.

Imagine you had to choose your life at age 40: Option A: Single. No kids. $10M net worth. Travel anywhere. Total freedom. Quiet house. Quiet holidays. Option B: Married. 3 kids. $1M net worth. Drive a Toyota. Chaos every morning. Loud house. Full dinner table. Be honest, which life are you choosing?

@bedouincap Bad take. Running a 10 person company with one person.

we are being gaslit about AI on a societal level. Everybody is vibe coding but I haven’t seen one useful thing get produced. Everybody has agents doing something but nothing useful is getting done. Cool you had AI summarize a PDF and make a template. Nice

@shawngorham Sending lots of prayer and love over from Ventura.

Since I post most my life online... wins and struggles This morning we got up to go to church I was in the kitchen drinking my morning glass of water. My wife yelled, I need water. So I started filling her a glass Then she screamed, everything is black, I cant see I sprinted to the room, right as I entered she fainted blackout. I caught her. Her body went limp, her eyes rolled back, her mouth opened and life flashed before my eyes. Its a picture I never want to re-live I sprinted for my phone to call 911 when I came back into the room she was awake, but limp. I held her, I prayed over her We landed in the ER for the next 7 hours While we were there a "code white" eta 5 minutes came across the speakers, I watched nurses scrambling. I googled code white - child with life threatening Within 5 minutes I heard the screams of a mother I never want to hear again. Whaling and Weeping. I was supposed to be at church, hands high singing praises to a God for everything good in my life. Now I am in the ER asking God to give me the same strength to sing the same praises Thats when faith becomes real So what happened? We dont know. All tests and blood work came back clear They did give her 2L of liquids and she still hasn't urinated - so possible severe dehydration Her body hasn't recovered from our car accident, she hasn't felt good, low appetite We think it just all caught up with her. Now we battle the fear of it happening again. She doesnt want to be alone, I dont want to leave her. If you are the praying type, pray for us. Pray for a family who lost a child today in the ER Much Love, Shawn

@tannerdripjobs I’d like to understand how much trial and error it took to get to this configuration, and many, many more questions. Haha

There's no "right" way to build a home service business. Here's how I have my House Painting business setup: ✅ - 1.5M Revenue YoY ✅ - 5 hours per week for me / work from home ✅ - GM Operator handles all day to day ✅ - No salespeople, 1 estimator ✅ - 1 Office admin is remote ✅ - 1 VA in Phillipines ✅ - 4 Used Vans & 1 Used Prius (Sales) ✅ - No Shop - Teams take vans home ✅ - 500+ 5-Star reviews (Highest rated) ✅ - 3 Crews (9 painters) ✅ - 20% of Work Quoted Virtually ✅ - House Painting Only (No Cabinets/Hard Stuff) ✅ - $4k/m Ad Spend FB / $2k Google ✅ - 15% NET Profit ✅ - Automated systems ( @dripjobs ) ✅ - Haven't been to a job site or met a customer in almost a year (unless to say hi to my team in passing) Close at a 30-35% closing ratio And my stress is virtually 0. Build your business your way!

Bought a little house for my OpenClaw Mac mini. Might be the coolest thing I’ve ever purchased

@0neBlazer Been using ChatGPT for many months now. It’s a solid first pass on organizing and ballparks. If you train it it becomes an incredible tool to speed up to estimates and improve margin / pricing accuracy. In sure Claude is better.

Has anyone in construction biz try using Claude AI for estimating?? I uploaded plans for a 3100sf addition and asked it for a comprehensive estimate and I am truly impressed. It created custom excel spread sheets and customized word file ready to present to the client. Woah.

@shawngorham This is illegal in California 🤦‍♂️

"Roofer" posted this on instagram I have no F'ING clue how this is going to work out. I cant even believe my eyes for you non roofers, you cannot lay comp shingles over space sheeting, you have to lay plywood down first

@sodacitysimpson Maybe eating that margin on credit card and ACH isn’t looking too bad…

@ryanmeuse Nope they were great Now I know it’s because they were getting a free roof!

This is a project we did a few months ago that we never got paid for Customer used fraudulent checks which initially worked but 30 days later our bank took the money out of our account saying found fraud etc Entrepreneurship is awesome

@NoRiskNoParty Yes please! I’m a former SaaS guy in a past life.

@ryanmeuse You mark them up with an attributable type Would you like to try it? I’d love some feedback

The vibe coding thing is real. I just vibe coded an app I have been paying for for years. My subscription gets cancelled next week once I finish debugging, but so far it is working perfectly. The app measures roofs using Google Maps and Apple Maps. It took me about a week to get the same accuracy. Now it prints measurements to the exact number. Every time. Next app I am vibe coding is a DocuSign replacement. Same goal. Drop another subscription. Save more money. At this point my only subscriptions will be X and the gym. SaaS prices are going to drop. And I do not see a soft landing anytime soon.

@LibertyJen What are you Ron burgundy? That wood stain was grody.

Straight to jail. Right away. No trial.
