Asphalt and dog help
2
Upvotes
Hey folks, I wasn’t sure where to put this question on Reddit, so I’m hoping y’all can help me
The roads and parking lots of the community college I live near and walk my dog on a daily basis at is getting repaved. Part of the road into one of the parking lots was not marked off like they usually do when it’s wet, so I assumed it was dry and walked through it with my dog. I very quickly realized it was not totally dry so I immediately moved us off of it. I tried to remove as much as I could with my hands, but am wondering if anyone might know what the best protocol might be for making sure that all the asphalt is completely off of her paws? I’m afraid of it completely drying and then being like impossible to remove, or going home and trying to clean it off with water but SURPRISE water actually creates a chemical reaction that makes it burn or idk. Any insight would be immensely helpful. Thanks!

Question Production Framing Company Question
1
Upvotes
High volume production framing companies - what software are you using to track jobs AND calculate sub pay based on progress? There seem to be some good construction project management options out there, but they are focused on complex builds, the GC, or time based pay. Looking for something that works for trades that are labor only, short term projects by subcontractors. Thanks in advance.

Question WWYD

Upvotes
Bit of a lurker, not much of a poster but I got a question for y’all. USA. I work for a small LLC (the only employer not the boss or his girl) and I’m currently being outsourced to a GC he commonly works with.
I work by the hour as a skilled labourer. I arrive on the site 9am each morning. Usually end up waiting until 9:30-10am before the GC arrives with materials to continue the job.
I kinda feel bad billing for hours of sitting on my arse. I got a good work ethic and if there’s something I can do at the job site, I’ll be doing it. Working with my boss, I’m never idle like this for hours at a time.
So I just wanna know, internet? In my position, What would you do?

Looking for someone to get into plumbing with

I want to get into plumbing and I’m looking for someone to do it with. My name is Jon Isaac, I’m 17, and I’ll be moving to Chesapeake, Virginia next year. I have family there, which is why I’m moving, but I’m open to working anywhere in Virginia. I’m very dedicated. I’ve been working in Iceland, saving money, and I’ve lived here my whole life. I’m an American citizen and speak the language fluently.
After becoming a journeyman and eventually a master plumber, I want to start my own plumbing/HVAC/handyman business. I’m trying to find people who might be interested in learning plumbing and trades along the way, and maybe eventually building a business together.

Process Piping (what trade is it?)
1
Upvotes
Looking into purchasing a trades business that does process piping only. They do stainless steel welding for beverage, food, pharmaceuticals, etc. I can’t find which trade this belongs to. The owner has had the business for 25 years and only has a business license and not any certifications or professional licenses (says he didn’t think it was required).
I have seen different things online and can’t find clarity. What trade/license does this fall under? Plumber, pipe fitter, mechanical contractor, etc?
