There’s just no room to grow at my current job since the new guy is now the service manager and my brother is the assistant manager. I’m just not happy being able to not do anything more. I want to improve but there’s nowhere I can go here. Sorry if I was repetitive.

Anywho, spent my tax refund on a new stereo set up for the house. Lolol

You don't need a scanner. You will be using the Nissan Consult 2 or 3. Whatever version they are on now. Tools take time to get. You get what you use most and that will make you faster.

dude the local big merc dealer here was just on the radio looking for techs for a new location offering like 65k, tools provided, and training if needed in certain areas.
Not around here. You buy your own tools and work on part hr. for pay. If your wrenches aren't turning you are not making any money. So, if a job pays 4 hrs and you do it in 2hrs. Better for you. If a motor swap pays 15hrs and you do it in 20hrs. You get paid for 15hrs. If you are sitting around doing nothing due to it being Christmas, etc. You make nothing.

Working flat rate sucks big time. :shakes head: One job and you can lose your azz for the week. :icon14:

Goodyear paid me $6.50 hr plus commission. My commission was always over $1,500 a week. This was back in 83 to 88. Chevy dealer was flat fuvking rate. Never made anything close to what I made at Goodyear.

When my wife was alive we almost bought a shop.Had the deal done but the owner got cold feet and backed out.In retrospect i am glad we didn't get it.

Isnt that what insurance is for? With any business, you live or die by your employees.

Wow that's huge!

old guy 03-15-2019 07:00 PM
The garage looks wider than 20ft too

I only stated that cause I think in one of your previous posts you wrote that it was 20ft. Wide.
Like she said the bigger the better :eek:

They said 20 x 25. Maybe 25 is the width??? I'll find out soon enough. The next meeting we have with the builder I'll bring my tape measure.

That's awesome!! :tup: :rock:

I've seen 4 stories of licensed healthcare framed up in that amount of time. Much stricter code requirements, but of course, having 200-300 guys working continuous during those 4 day helps considerably :eek:

The space above the garage is the closet in the master bedroom. They're actually is no attic space in this house.

Even better. Conditioned space is considerably more valuable :tup: :tup:
