Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Recommended Posts

What kinda costs we looking at in labor to build a (16) 15 4th order band pass in an astro van? Probably have Tangi Supply build the cage. And internal stainless steel supports.

 

 

90 man hours.  

 

 

Just a WAG.  

 

 

Why stainless supports?  Are they going to be showing?

I'm anal about my installs. Man hours will be closer to 500. The ported section will have visible stainless bracing and the floor of the enclosure will have plexi containing the batteries. Plexi will aso be the front and back of the box.

So.... The district manager is all excited to have me be a trainer, but I need to be in the "top 50% of the market".

I'm struggling in this location but demolishing the manager work with. Like crushing. So even though on a level field I am getting it done, it looks like I suck donkey dick.

This training opportunity could get me into a much much much higher volume store and it would be back to being close to my house. I need to sell a shitload of beds.

500 man hours? That is just under 3 months of full time work. That's insanity.

You know any specialty shop that only charges $20/hour?

Someone will really pay 25k+ in just an install without even buying the subs and amps?

I've built several systems run north of 75k. 500 installs hours on a properly built demo vehicle is nothing. Look at just about any demo vehicle that was built by Fishman, Steve Brown, Brian Scmitt, Gary Biggs, they all have thousands of hours in a car.

Just doing the kicks and trunk in my civic with one 12 will have well over 150 hrs in it. It takes a large skill set and large amounts of time to go from a box with a paint brush paint job to an install that looks like it came from the factory.

I am in the wrong business if people pay that much money.

If it landed then massive exposure and they were small enough...

It's hard for me to describe how horrible I think their music is. It's atrocious.

I don't know why I find it so horrible.

Even the comedy songs piss me off.

I found them funny 20 years ago.  I listen to it now and wonder how I could ever be so stupid.

first  two weeks of  the new job, my fucking hip was killing me...  i thought it was just my weight with walking more then usual then the way my new truck is  when i get out i slide off the seat and land on my left leg kinda hard... well i guess really hard with as much as i weight.. but its the only way out.....

 

 i even thought about having to quit the new job.. if it hurts this much i just cant do it :(

 

 anyhow i ordered some new boots as i figured maybe just maybe its the shoes... well the day they showed up in the mail i was DIEING with pain.... no matter what i did.. crocs barefoot what ever it was  hurting very badly. so when ups showed up i ripped open the box   threw a pair of socks on.. laced up.. and walked around and WOW the pain was gone!!! it was the shoes....

 

 so the next day my hip hurt a little but nothing like before.. by the third day the pain was GONE!!! i love these shoes....

 

 well for a week it was fucking bad ass.. besides the fact they are a little slick...  i contribute it to the bottoms being new...

 

 

 so today  i got paid. came home showered up and me and dani went out on a date...  its been raining like a mother fucker, and if i leave stewie on the run he gets all muddy,  to i have a 10X10 kennel with river rock and a dog house that i have been putting him in all week.. and i feel bad because he hates it.. .so while me and dani went out i left him in the house out of his crate, ( hes normally crated while were gone after 6PM)  hes a good dog...... well

 

 well we get back from a nice dinner.... and as soon as i open the door stewie is standing at the door... and i knew it........ next thing i see is my new boots in t he middle off the living room..... chewed to shit!!!!  mother fucker!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 i just bought these had to have them shipped ( never  can find shoes local)  great now my hip is going to be killing me again untill i get another new pair of boots... this fucking sucks.... i guess im even more mad because im so cheap i hate buying the same shit twice...

What boots are they? I rarely wear boots so I don't know the good ones from the bad.

 but  these are the ones i bought...

 

http://www.amazon.com/Nautilus-Safety-Footwear-Mens-1670/dp/B007M9TYLI

 i bought them with 0 reviews being available  and they were great

 and i got a 15 wide..the biggest they had on the site.  but  my toes were crammed like a son of a bitch..  so...

 

 i just ordered these in a 16 wide.

http://www.amazon.com/Nautilus-1620/dp/B000IX3A9C

I have never had boots as good as redwings. I think they were $310 bucks or something crazy though.
