    Why you should not take equity out or dump your 401 K to take super expensive hunts.

    Serious question; who here on Rokslide advocated or discussed spending money on one of these trips that only had 80k in retirement or some other serious asset? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    FFL current cut off is 39.5, so may not be an option for some. C’est la vie. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Getting equity out of rental property

    If I’m reading this right, you’re advocating staying in rentals at a low interest rate rather than investing as a partner in an engineering firm as a safer bet? If so, wouldn’t this contradict the risk of the 08 situation you referenced of non payment/abandonment? Interest rate seems somewhat...

    Getting equity out of rental property

    I think for consumer level and discretionary purchases it’s words to live by, but if this was universally applied it’d be almost impossible to do a lot of business and eliminate a huge number of small businesses. Edit: meant to add some context to keep on track. OP, I think buying into firm a...

    Getting paid ! Construction industry.

    Just to clarify, I meant that we pay our employees no matter what, regardless of if we get paid by the GC. LOCs are extremely tough to get as a contractor unless you have a significant business history and collateral. Just recently discovered Amex business LOC that was all personal credit...

    Getting paid ! Construction industry.

    Extremely frustrating part of owning a construction company. No employee would keep working for someone despite not getting paid for 30-90 days, yet that’s exactly what you have to do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Getting paid ! Construction industry.

    Contract will stipulate terms. In practice you should only be out your retainage. If someone owes a significant amount at final inspections we will hold off on getting them signed off on until current. It’s a risky game and I question my sanity some days. Multi billion dollar corporations get...

    First ever sheep hunt in a couple weeks!!!

    Sealskinz water proof socks were a clutch item for me. My guide brought me a pair. Had a couple of deeper creek crossings and they held up. Boots were soaked, but feet stayed mostly dry. A million different opinions on the matter but having something for a siwash (borah bivy, maybe down...

    Plumbing question - sink relocation to wall with 3” main drain and others

    Finding conflicting information on this. A “wet” vent is how I understand it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Plumbing question - sink relocation to wall with 3” main drain and others

    Alright gents, Wife has me remodeling kitchen. Old sink was in the island, now moving to interior wall. Most plumbing lines on this wall already. My question is which line should I tie the sink drain into and then do I need to run a separate vent? I’m a Fire sprinkler guy but have almost zero...

    Best way to fly with meat, cape and head from alaska dall sheep hunt

    I left horns and cape with expediter to have sealed and processed. They were great, met me at a supermarket in Palmer or Wasilla and took care of everything. I brought all deboned meat back in a standard cheap Coleman or igloo cooler. Left in walk in freezer at lakefront hotel for a night and it...

    Getting paid ! Construction industry.

    Im a commercial sub and deal with this. Honestly you don’t have a lot of leverage. Put whatever you want In your contract, but 9.9/10 times they won’t sign it or will redline it. Best thing I can say is know the lien laws, be upfront, and don’t be afraid to play hardball and pull off. I’m...

    August AK sheep hunt tent choice

    I’ve only done one and it was in a hille akto so take this with a grain of salt. What’s the rest of your gear weight look like? I think it depends on your own tolerance; if you really don’t mind being in a 1 man tent I’d do it. Weight saved is weight saved. But if it’s a significant comfort...

    How long have you been at your current job?

    Couldn’t see or read the article in the link. Said it was originally from 2014 but wasn’t able to see it. 15% from your situation I wouldn’t argue with or find hard to believe at all, but 50% I struggle with. What industry/job function? Just to reiterate, I only have my own anecdotal...

    How long have you been at your current job?

    Do you have a source on these studies? Goes against all of the anecdotal experience I have seen. I would imagine pretty heavily dependent on industry and could vary significantly. In skilled trades, if you’re jumping ship every couple years it’s going to be tougher to find somewhere permanent to...
