Residential construction manager
How's the money?
Im a commercial Superintendent. I love the problem solving and constant changing. Hours are rough, and the stress from relying on suns to perform in order to succeed is rough.
Pay and job security in my market (school building in houston) are top notch. On a path to hopefully get into senior management before I turn 40.
I'll be glad to put the 60-70 hour weeks behind me.

I would have to imagine that if someone in this field didn't want to do this, they could find a doctor alighned with their opinion who would sign the damn glorified permission slip for them.

Went thru this with my parents.
Got kicked out, dropped from insurance, and cell phone turned off.
Took me 3 months of couch surfing before I sold the bike.
This is one of those things where you must go scorched earth. I have had 2 friends die on bikes before they turned 25.

re: Best boresighting kit?
Posted by baseballmind1212 on 3/16/25 at 8:08 am
I have the wheeler kit. Bought the boresight and scope mounting kit. Little pricey, but comes with a nice little organized carrying case.
Probably have mounted/boresighted 20+ rifles with this kit at our company camp.

Op that's high as shite.
As some one before said, labor should be around 200/hr with 2 or 3 hour minimum. Parts are less then 150.
If you have the interest, you can bu all the parts you need plus a manual crimp tool from HD for probably less than $300.

re: Construction Management Degree question..
Posted by baseballmind1212 on 2/22/25 at 1:38 pm
I'd put it at a 4. As many others said, the hardest required classes are physics 2, accounting, and business calc.
Tell your kid to put in just a bit of effort getting thru those 3 classes, graduate with a 3.0 or better, and do internships summer after sophomore and junior years.
Starting pay at my company is 73,500 for cm grads. They can be making 100k in 2 years. a good PM is making 120-140 with bonus. Supers get paid more but it usually takes a little longer.

Houston area gas runs 20/ft. Any boring under concrete is an additional 8/ft

Don't do this. You need to maintain at least an inch or two between the house and the wall. Set a post within an inch or two, then screw a picket hanging over the edge of the post to cover the gap.
re: Diagnosing Brake Issue
Posted by baseballmind1212 on 2/17/25 at 6:38 pm
My suggestion would be to take it in.
Issues with brakes are no joke. If a pad and rotor change didn't fix it, then there is an underlying failure somewhere.

Another vote for this.
You can go Tikka action and barrel, and carbon chassis for 2500.
Mdt makes a nice one called the hnt26.
Leupold or zeiss on top with your budget.

Most all of the home cam systems can do this today as long as they have an internet connection.

Only way to be sure that all the trapped watter is out of the lines is to blow it out.
If you have a small pancake air compressor, you can buy a fitting that fits a hose bib to blow it out yourself.

This is pretty consistent with a mainline partial blockage. You should get it scoped and snaked
re: Electrical outlet and high energy use small appliances question
Posted by baseballmind1212 on 1/5/25 at 8:19 am
I have a similar setup (frick whirlpool for putting icemaker in the door)
We run the countertop icemaker in the evenings, fill the ice bucket in the freezer, and the ice bucket in the whirlpool. I'd the ice bucket in the countertop maker during the evening, fill tumblers out the freezer in the AM.
I also have some backup ice in a big container in outside freezer, but I don't tell the family about it. That's for when we go short on ice.

re: How long to let residential concrete driveway sit before driving on?
Posted by baseballmind1212 on 12/28/24 at 3:25 pm
Assuming it's 4 or 5 inch thick concrete, 7 days is reasonable.
We drive 18 wheelers on 6" 3500 psi paving with a good compressive strength test after 5 days.
