Holy crap I got it back. A guy who owns land out there drove by and saw it and picked it up. He put an ad on the lost and found section of kijiji and I saw it today. Gave him a call and went and pick'd it up tonight.

I was out at the atv trails off of Lilly lake road yesterday. I somehow manages to leave my helmet at the staging area. It had my camera, goggle and Bluetooth communication system still on it. About $1000 worth of stuff. I drove away from the staging area @ 7pm and got back there at 10pm to look...

So I was out at this spot today and managed to somehow forget my helmet at the staging area. When I got home and finally realized I didn't have it I turned around and drove the hour back to see if I could get luck and it would still be there. No such luck. In the 3 hr Tim farm from 7pm to 10pm...

So is hiring me. Lol

Ya I don't have employees or hire subs

But you also have to claim your subs on your annual report too right?

Potentially. Some smaller one man show trades may not have have WCB. Say you hired a guy to paint a mural on a wall. He may not have any type of WCB or insurance. He's just a freelance artist. $2700? How much us your personal coverage. I pay about $800 for just me. But my personal coverage is...

You still need your own WCB. and it also covers your employees as well. And if some trades don't have it your WCB covers them aswell.

When you're organizing, scheduling, and answering for any problems 20% is not nearly enough for the stress lol. You can save a lot of money by "making your own phone calls" but you can also waste those saving from improper project management.

This topic is exactly why I prefer to deal with a general contractors or avoid residential all together. As an electrical contractor it's less of a hassle to justify costs to a general. And in commercial service or renovations most business owners realize how costs add up quickly. As a home...

You don't want to pay for a zoom boom that's perfectly fine. But then you're going to pay for the extras labour it takes to bring in extra guys and work of ladders. Your right ladders and scoffilding. Drills and hammers are tools of the trade. Heavy equipment are extras.

If you were your own general you could have potentially save upwards of $100k on a build. Mark up is a killer. Think about basement development from new home builders or organizing trades your self. On an house let s say 1600 sq ft. a finished basement package would cost you anywhere between...

15-20% margins are pretty standard. Look at it this way. If something happens and one of those trades screws up,Who are you calling? Your general. He's also liable for the trades he brings on site. %20 for him to organize and be responsible for the entire project is a fair price. As for the...

List of things that piss me off about selling on kijiji Buyer: how much you want for it? THE PRICE IS LISTED! READ THE F($&&))NG AD! Buyer: Whats your lowest pice? MAKE AN OFFER AND WE'LL FIND OUT. IM NOT JUST GONNA HAND YOU MONEY OUT OF MY POCKET! Buyer: You want $100 for said item. I can...
