Most frustrating is the people turning left into Arby's. They either go too far up and block the ability to go around, or people are dumb and don't go around when they are able to. So you sit on that hill for no fucking reason and miss the light.
Also, coming out of the Arby's/the cum and go and the people coming the other way always yeet the Pittsburgh left when you are both moving full speed at eachother. Almost crashed there so many times.

You can look up market value for any trade. I am near the top end for what Google says for flooring installation. But contractors are in high demand right now so it's really not that crazy.
Also, getting jobs is an absolute grind. People complain about contractors being flakey but people in general just are flakey. 8/10 people don't respond to quotes or reddit threads. I do well enough on the 2/10 that respond but trust me, it's not all gravy.

Sorry I just build houses and math is not my forte... but that seems off to me.

I can do that. $10 a sq ft with carpet removal.

7/10 times DIY flooring projects I see in person are done horribly. True, it's not hard but I think for the average Joe it can be.

What part of town are you in? I might be able to stop by tomorrow to fix this if it's closeby. No judgement from me!

Everyone complaining about rent prices but seems Pittsburgh lives rent free in this guy's head.

It would be much cheaper and better to get a few wifi connected water alarms. If a pipe bursts and someone isn't coming for two weeks your house will be destroyed by the time they come.
I'd just drain the system and put a few next to the water main.

Sounds like you need a general contractor. If all you have is water (do you have hot and cold?), you will need electric, a drain line, exhaust vent... it's a whole slew of things that you need someone who can do all of them.

Wait, did people like this place? I only went once while desperately hungry on a home Depot run and thought it was the worst, figured it only survived on contractors getting lunch. I had no idea it was a local staple.
