That’s the best advice I’ve seen on here in awhile.

He’s not a fan of helping people. He’s more a fan of making shit jokes.

Squid has gone out of his way to help people here

I think hes talking about you.

Well just poo. Advice not taken doesn’t mean it’s bad advice. It just means someone wasn’t smart enough to take it lol. I think he’s the kid with the $500 budget. The original poster on this thread has got some good advice I think.

Agreed. Personally I enjoy your comments. Some people dont know how to take a joke. This forum wouldnt be the same without you.

partners almost never work

Roy and Trigger were an exception.

Weird. I was going to say @innocentbystander answers one of my questions via message near daily. I’d say you go out of your way to help people here.

Yeah, I was meaning Innocent. He may answer you, but he doesn’t for anyone else. All he does is talk shit to everyone. Squid, I see you helping people so much on this forum. Thanks for that. I’ve read a lot of what you’ve written and it’s been great advice. I’ve never said that Innocent doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He just jokes constantly and is condescending to newcomers. It’s pretty disrespectful to them. Jokes are jokes, but only to the people they aren’t at the benefit of. I’m all for having fun in any situation, but being condescending is not a joke, when someone doesn’t know you.

Not going to say sorry because a grown man shouldn’t say anything he is sorry to say. I gave you advice on one of your first post to not enter the business until you could afford to. That is advice you would pay for if he went to a small business advisor. Few of my comments are meant as jokes and thin skin on your part does not mean condescension on mine. Relax and read, study and learn. Here is advice from my dad “work hard, be smart, when you get thru you’ll be done”.

He answers my questions and he answered the ops with some very helpful advice. I’m not trying to knock you down but maybe you’re offended because he gave you advice that you don’t want to hear. Seems to me that you have a personal issue with him and in no way what so ever are your comments helping the op.

Innocent has answered in every post I’ve put up. I see how you can take what he says the wrong way because he clearly doesn’t believe in sugar coating, which I’ve experienced from him first hand as well, but he will give you the advice you need, not just what you want.

Stick around for a bit. You’ll learn to appreciate him. I asked a question a while back about rinsing roofs and he told me not to do the job. I’ll admit that I was a little tiffed by it but honestly he was probably right. The job turned out good but I sold the client on that I was a proffesional and knew what I was doing. I didn’t. Weve all gotta learn one way or another but if you’re here for a pat one the back and a trophy for your effort then this might be the wrong place. This is a place for professionals to share knowledge. Act like a pro and be treated like one, but be ready to back it up. Take everything you read or hear ( not just here but in life) with a grain of salt and you’ll be okay. If you’re offended by people you dont know than maybe the problem is you. Live and let live.

And that’s enough talk about innocent. @rmcmurry get the 5.5 from diego that he has on sale. Run it for a year to build up some skill and money. It’s a general pump so that’s about how long it will last. Replace it with an udor 7 gpm from mvp and keep making money. Call me or @BrandonNC or Matt at NC exterior. All will let you hang out for a day

Just because you don’t like the advice, doesn’t mean it’s not valid. Sometimes giving an honest opinion not what people want to hear. And to some of us that have been in the business for awhile, sometimes the questions aren’t (to put it mildly) well thought out. Often a little common sense can go a long way.

Ill take the heat off innocent… Boo boo the mean man talked down to me when I asked for free advice from the experts on this board. Seriously? You want to start a biz and some one in a forum hurt your feeling? Buckle up because being self employed hurts… If you can’t take some ribbing in a forum how are you going to deal with PITA customers? ok let the hate begin, I promise not to whine when you give me grief for being mean…
