No offense meant but I don't see one person in that picture that should attempt to fix a drywall hole of that size.

Out of all the kids in that picture I am sure one of their fathers would be willing to come by and fix it for you guys no? Or are you all from out of the area?

sometimes I forget what a few years can mean in the maturity process...

you go from :jc:

to :cam:

so what do you all think the right price to fix this hole would be? If I decided I did want to pay someone else.

texted my dad, he said $425 if he did it..

My friends won't pay for it. There was already a little hole there and they just made it 10x worse and will refuse to do so.

I'm leaning towards hiring someone to fix it, a professional. How much would this run me?

Sounds like shitty friends

If you try to find a local guy to do it, who isn't in the construction business, you don't know if it will look good and the landlord will know. If you find local guys in the construction business, you'll get a LOT of high estimates because basically, there is no money in this project. Contractors will throw out a huge number just so you'll leave them alone... we did it all the time. They factor in what they are getting paid with the deductions of the trip there, the cost of supplies, and the man-hours of the work+drive. You're going to pay too much to have someone fix it.

It's not that hard, doing the work yourself. It just takes attention and detail work. The putty work and the sanding is really the only difficult part, but I hated drywall. You can do it, bro!

I'd venture to say a jack of all trades type small business will knock down the price quite a bit.. now that it's winter and business is slowing....

leave the painting out of the estimate, and paint it himself.. (whole wall will need painted)

      I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
