Today I learned that practicing your craft as a regional expert at structural repairs, and being paid well to do it, means that you are a karen.
Can this get any weirder? |

Forget about the headache of fixing other people's screw-ups. Not worth it at this stage of the game, IMO. |

Stop trying to turn him into a bullshitter. He's a straight-up dude. In his area, he's a regional expert. Over 40 years in the trade. He didn't say he was THE regional expert. Just that he was one. Possibly of many. He did not say 'top'. You Pink Floyd fans are so negative. Probably from all those decades of listening to that depressing, downtrodden music. |

That deck is too unstable and dangerous for people to use...
I suggest a "deck rock" at each entry point to dissuade people from using it... |

It's not easy to retire. I keep raising my rates, never answer the phone, defer as much as I can, but good clients are hard to say no to.

many years ago i built a deck, not attached to the house, in the backyard. the county offered free, standard plans that they had already approved and that had been engineered by someone. you could alter the size as needed, but the connections and supports had to follow the plans. 6x6 posts on concrete pads of a certain size, 2x beams with maximum spans (want longer span, go up to next size), nailing minimums for doubled beams, proper hangers specified.
a fairly well thought out way of making sure decks had some engineering behind them without having to hire a PE for a 'simple' deck. if you wanted to go beyond their standard designs, you could, but you needed to get your plans stamped by a local PE. even though I was a PE there, my focus was not on structural designs, so I was glad this was an option. his needs more dove tails..... |

Actually, his statement, "practicing your craft as regional expert" does infer that he is THE regional expert. If he intended to infer that he was only one of multiple regional experts, he should have typed, "practicing your craft as a regional expert."
