Took a vacation from my 9-5 this week. Used every minute to get ny stuff in newburgh in shape.
First day I loaded up my truck with sticks from my yard and went to dump. Then I got to newburgh and worked out a discount for volume pricing on LVP with Home Depot. Quote wasn’t so low so o called andoth HD and it was about 30% less. Noted. Call multiple Home Depot for bid room. Saved about 1250. But it means we can afford to do better quality materials in more apts.
6 druggies broke into one of my vacants this week. Kicked a door in on two of them. Three them out. One said take it easy i lost my temper. Shook him up a bit. I almost bit his face. Broke into my building and tells me to take it easy. My bad tho. Not his fault. Need to secure my properties better. And stay calm. Been doing better with anger mostly.
Got new elec service in a long vacant 150 year old brick building, elec gave me a really good price. Things are looking up.
took out 10,000lb of debris from one floor same house. By hand of course. Loaded up a 20’ trailer twice. Got two flat tires on the way to dump with 5k in the bed. Jacked it up and changed the tire 500’ later spare blew out. Went the rest of the way on 3 wheels. Got it to the dump and once it was empty was a breeze. Except that I can’t back up a trailer very well in snowy hills with cars blocking my driveway. People watching calling me an idiot. Who cares got it done. Laughing, sore glad to have carefree time with the kids now that things are on track.
Someone crashed into the trailer in a snowstorm. No biggie. Not too much damage My bad for Parkin it there. Couple of 14-15 hour days. Wife was very helpful.
Blew in insulation in another gut renos we’re doing. Tried out a few new guys this week. Every day I had at least 10 guys working between subs and my guys. Two of the new guys are fantastic. Good people make things way easier.
