Want to have my own residential construction company/GC.
2024.11.29 15:40 Difficult-Jello2534 Want to have my own residential construction company/GC.
I'm in my early 30s now. My past experience leading up to this was insurance restoration for around 5 years. Worked my way up from a shop guy, tech, lead, tech, manager, broke into estimating before I left. Now I moved more into general carpentry in residential construction. Have 2 to 3 years here.
About a year and a half ago i quit my company, and started off of me just working with an old buddy who has a business with about 12 years under his belt and needed help, he was working by himself as mostly a sub at that time. We never fight, get along great, both tough as hell but empathic, reasonable, both hungry. Im learning the most I ever have. Which idk for you guys but thats taken me a decade to find out here lol. Well that idea really took off, we are at 5 guys now, we do carpentry, remodels, pole barns, LOTs of windows, we do siding, cabinets, finish carpentry. Pretty much everything but roofs.
We designed a new construction application for windows on existing residential that guarantees water protection, its really taking off, having multiple brand names companies wanting us to be contractors for them and we havnt marketed a thing, not even a facebook page or google (next hears plan), all word of mouth. Our company is growing pretty big at the moment, I've cemented myself at the top as the right hand guy. It's great, im happy, never been on a better crew or with better boss. But I just had a son and I am looking at bettering my future options and have a few choices. Also I have a rental house in a small town i used to live that's paid off. I can sell that for capital (even though by current plan is to make the unfinished basement a second renral). I'm also in a medical malpractice lawsuit, it's likely I'll win. So here are my thoughts and i have questions about each option. Regardless on school or my own business, I'll probably be here learning for the next 5 years or so. Whether I'm in school or doing side work leading up to breaking off.
A. Be a manager on salary and grow this business I'm at now and have a decent life that I wouldn't complain about, work with my buddies. Focus on rental properties for side money. My concern with this is my boss/friend is building this to run for his retirement which doesn't leave much for me to leave my son. Which is fine, not angry, he deserves it but I also feel like i might be selling myself short on this route. And I'm pretty hungry and confident enough to bet on myself and can leverage money I need to get it done.
B. Use some of the capital I'll have at my disposal to attempt to buy into ownership of the company and friend I like working with.
C. I can get essentially free school from kid and low family income so I've been looking at construction management, engineering, business degrees. Either for my own business, or for a higher wage job somewhere else, or a back up plan if i hurt myself 20 ft up on a ladder. Book smarts come easier to me than my construction knowledge did, was top 5% in my class, 33 on ACT, had plenty of scholarships back in the day. So I have no doubt I could get an online degree and work full time.
So in this instance being a GC on my own in residential construction. Which degree path would help the most. I think I have a pretty decent understanding of business and construction skills, so I'm not sure which would be more helpful. And i know I don't need one but I like the options just in case we move and I can't immediately set up a business, I have experience and degrees for a decent job.
D. Plan to eventually get my own company and GC and what would you recommend for that. Experience in the trades won't be an issue as I know that everyone's else's answer will be experience is king lol. What classes could I take for estimating and bidding, business, what should I do for GC test and class. What are the steps into building from side work into a fully fledged business correctly. I've seen guys do it, not all of them is would deem "correctly".

2024.11.29 15:40 Zechasaur The cover doesn't match the album at all 😭
 | When the cover was first revealed, I wasn't too sure about it, but then I thought that after the album came out, that I'd appreciate the cover so much more. But after hearing the album, that shit DOES NOT match the cover at fucking all. I've been defending the way it looks since it was released and this is what we get??? Most the songs don't even match the "The Party Never Ends" Title, let alone that weird ass cover. I thought they promised us Hype songs! https://preview.redd.it/2dpbfr6t1v3e1.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ed6f94d5cfdfd6a521a03ac525be1cf312513789 submitted by Zechasaur to JuiceWRLD [link] [comments] |

2024.11.29 15:40 Desperate_Cheetah_50 What is causing me to feel constantly light headed/dizzy/high for a whole week?
I have been feeling constantly lightheaded it is really freaking me out as i am not sure what is causing it. I thought it was iron deficiency after my period although taking iron supplements has not helped me at all. I have also discovered a grape sized lump in the right middle area of my neck which is quite firm to the touch although i believe it has always been there but possibly gotten larger, i am thinking it is just due to some kind of infection? I have cold sores all in the inside of my mouth under my tongue, yellowing of toe nails.
F18, previously vaped, previously taken medications lymecycline and accutane for acne.

I am looking at trying to get a mmo for the Xbox. Honestly most of them don't look that good. New world on the other hand caught my eye and looks pretty good. Is this game worth 60 for the Xbox? I think I'm looking for something with good gameplay where you can party up and adventure. Also is the community active?
