Topix Underground

The only way to make a good living as a solo contractor is to have a steady pipeline of work. Subbing for one of the big box stores or hooking up with builders. I think I lasted two years doing tile for Home Depot before that just turned into a vicious world of  hate and loathing.  Then I did two years as the backsplash king for Lowe's until the inevitable explosion. They are hateful toward their contractors and they have no idea what they are doing. It's just a ticking time bomb. And the way way over-charge the customers. It makes you hate life. Doing new builds is bliss...and it's just straight-up money for work, no drama. Everyone's real professional and knows what they're doing.

I feel better now for forgetting to pay for that $250 worth of plants I got at Lowe's. Man my memory isn't worth a damn anymore...
