how much should i charge to tape and fill a garage 20x24x13. and how have you been call me if you want 7782273650

Hey Mike how's it going? I thought I saw you here in Glenayre the other day. How much to tape that garage? If it was for a homeowner and the boarding was decent, I would probably charge (labour) a $1000 if it was 8' feet high and relatively simple. That's fully finished for paint. Seeing that it's 13' high? You need a baker or a scaffold, does he supply that? I would be looking for $1500 to $2000+ cash depending on whether I wanted the job or not, whether the board was a mess or not, what I felt the guy could afford, etc. Is the job out near you? Prices generally go down the further out in the valley you go. Anyways that's a general idea of what I would charge. It's probably a lot of work for you. You don't tape too often right?

Thanks Mike.

You're welcome???

I just wanted to say thanks for adding me.

I'm at work.

Cool man just getting home from work

Glad your back at it, I ran into a buddy of yours when you were on strike. 8 months ago or so.

Yup the assholes locked us out for 4 months. You met Rob Smillie

Long time. That's fight that's given you your wages in the start. Got to them up. You're lucky you left my world.

It's harder here to get it because you're alone. I do OK though.

Hey. Please see this and add your number. Mines different so I go last. The more the better. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10156210041615117&id=784420116

How much should I charge to board tape and mud a 10x10 room?

As much as you can morally justify? $500+ if you can? No less than 400, plus materials. You need at least 100 per trip. I've probably charged up to 800 for that.

It all depends on my variables and you don't want to over charge someone who can't afford it.

Depends on many variables.

Thx that's about what I was thinking 600 or 700

Yes, if you can get it go for it.

Yup I'm going to check it out Friday.

Thought it would be funny, I don't know. Seen your brother tonight.

Powerful words on Facebook my friend. If you ever need to talk to someone different for a change or just need someone to listen call me 778-227-3650.

Thanks Mike. I've talked enough through my life and admittingly maybe the wrong people. I remember you getting that job at the railway (where I was going to apply before you) then I remember you getting help on your feet and into a house. That hurt, you were younger, you started later and everything was the opposite for me. Anyways, thanks.. I just wish I kept a journal or had all this written out already. No idea how it all looks. And Hey, Happy New Year! Your kids look good.

Hi Mike, Positive, Negative post... yada yada... I always think all these are for me. :) If you are reading, I don't know what your family dynamics were like. For me, different.

I could have wrote that better, I meant your picture with the postive battery terminal. I am always seeming your kids. The resemblence. You should be proud.

I have been keeping up with your family posts, have to say I'm a bit confused. I hope you all can work out your problems. One thing I am sure of.... Money is evil!!

Yes it is. I was posting it here to try and get it all in one spot but it's hard. In deep summary, they took from me all my life and put me down since i was a kid. Dad went bankrupt yet they never really stopped being spoiled kids. Dad and I grew close, I got completely screwed up. Finally found Rod as you know and instead of leaving I got laughed at for helping mom and dad keep the house. taht just made me get mad and dig in deeper, they werent getting it She would have lost it without me, but I was never moms favourite so I get fucked. It's practically killed me. I needed a home, even when I wanted out they made that hard. This year I was trying to get set up to leave, walk away and they mess that up for me. Then they post an eviction notice. mom used to promise I would get, but no writing. I couldn't negotiate or Jim would get involved. Anyways, I have to see a nurse tomorrow because my health is so bad, then move on from there. Port Moody Police helped a lot. Well, I think they have. Take care.

By the way, leaving is not easy for me, I need tools storage, I need so much.

I needed a home.

Why do they want you out?

Anything I can do to help just let me know.

They drove me over the edge. i fell into debt after dad. Couldn't climb out, Id get so sick of my brother I'd want to puke while having to work, work wanted to come here and straighten it out. Then it just kept compiling. Id get things settled... then my sister lost her house and moved in with her husand, dog four cats, baby. they tried taking over the house. More debt for me. It just keeps going. I almost went bankrupt 28 months ago, then I fell into a six month suicidal state. then they are pissed because I didn't go bankrupt. That's the same thing that happened to dad. Anyways there's lots of details. I was in good financial shape last year at this time but very sick emotionally from this. I quit a really good job by the Summer, just recovered with the bank by signing new loans, then they post the notice. They just want me gone so they can do what they want with all the money here. My mom's told me the same years ago and to not let them have it. It kills you. She would have lost this house and there would be nothing to fight over if it wasn't for me. My mom's friend said it. My dad told me to make sure I get just before he died. I am deeply ill now. What do I do? I'm not asking you to feel sorry, but if I don't put a story out there, they will just tell everyone I was crazy if I drop dead. They don't care.

Money.

Just about every decision I have made is a consequence of the dynamics of this house. Including the trucks. Just be happy. Fuck..

This van was bought for work and for the inevitable.

Rod told me to get out of this house, I wouldn't. I loved this house. but whatever. Anyways thanks. I'll see what help I have tomorrow.

I should have left years ago. It's my fault. but then... anyways. Hope your all well.

How are you feeling what did the doctor say

It's a long story and it's not over. Thanks for asking. I'm just trying to clear my head. I'm on top of Burnaby Mtn. I only had an hour with her, it wasnt long enough. She had reasons to have concern, and so do I. If you look at that post on I made on the Samson option. That's where I am at. Is the nuclear missile going to land on my head or someone else's. And should it really land any where? I can't explain especially in a text and it's something only I can decide for myself. I have to come to peace with something.

Thanks for asking. I will see the nurse again.

Hope everything works out for you get well

Thanks man. Things are better at the moment.

Day by day

Yep. One step at a time.

How goes the battle?

Hey. Can you do me a favour? Think back through your mind and see if you remember a Jenn Ohashi going to Glenayre Elementary. That was my arresting officer, same school as us. But she's younger. I wanted to know if was the same grade as my sister for bias. Perhaps not, but she wouldn't answer the question. She be a year younger than you if it was the case. Thanks, hope you are well.

Don't remember her. Why did you get arrested??

They haven't decided yet. lol

I think it was mainly to force me out, but I just gave them info the other night that could turn it all around. I don't know. Have to see what happens.

Just wondering, does any of it make sense to you now? I needed my own place or a family that wasn't like my family. One that supported eachother. Mom turned to Jim as the oldest to replace dad, but Jim decided life was all about him and to ensure he gets his because isn't fair he had to share having siblings. He used to kick me away from the monkey bats at Glenayre if I ran up to say hi to him. Anyways, I'm completely fucked. It hurt knowing that you and your wife got to stay, rent and get all that moneymaking for a down payment. I paid 650 for a bedroom at that point while getting told I was no good, even though I'd do things when my siblings wouldn't. My family was just backwards, perhaps cause my father was often not home trying to cut deals and in his own depression and alcoholism. My mother would tell me, your going to be just your father, then she'd basically say yourfathers no good. lol. That was about my life growing up. Brothers laughing and taking what they want. My sister, the only girl, the princess. Anyways thanks for reading. They'll creme me in court, I don't handle being verbally attacked, too sensitive or something as I try to search for the right answers. I am a terrible speaker under pressure in front of people. Especially on this issue. Thanks again.

They want you out of the house? Will the judge decide that you get whatever money is owed to you if you leave?

They want me out of the house, 28000 plus in unpaid rent and 50000 in damages for renovations half way complete before I just about went bankrupt, was nearly talked into committing fraud, then told I'd get nothing from the house because I wouldn't do it. I quit thosemeds cold turkey and started psychologically breaking down and almost killed myself in a six month period. They went to my doctor, not because I'd do it, but because they'd get in trouble if they hid it. Just less than two years later they post an eviction notice at my 40th birthday laughing on a door I paid for after I just resigned large loans with the bank after quitting a job I quit because they make me too sick to work properly. It's so fucked up, it's crazy. Yet legally I'm provably taking the entire fall for everything. You watch. There's more too but who will believe me and care? I was talked into other things under duress and medication by that doctor. But he'll just lie. Its the way of the world. You have to look at me like a little company, I can't move out of there like this and survive

Thatshighly condensed but about the just of it. The legal charges right now are basically what I posted in reply to your question in public.

If I could talk, stay cool headed, a smart guy could turn it around in court. I'm... Only going to be able to do what I can. Thanks Mike.

I should just add one thing. Land laws are strict, if you are not on title you are screwed. I am not on title. I hoped that counsellor/Psychologist would help fix that and he told her not to. So...try outside help and he made things worse. Have a good day Mike. I have to stay Off facebook. For all I know I'm toast for posting all this stuff.

Hey. I just have one question for you. Do I sound like I am wrong for anything I've said? I'll just keep going so I don't want to talk about it any more, I just wonder if you think that's messed up or not.

No response? 240/month plus cable, 650 for a bedroom, plus I'd spend money working around there and she'd tell me I was going to get. Just give her the cheque, meanwhile Jim's twisting her the other way to use me? Sorry, not your business I guess, I just... She clutched me, what do you do? Take care.

What is it you want in the whole mess? Back in the house? Or is it all about money?

I want to survive somehow, I don't know how to explain. I don't even know how to defend myself. I'm typing notes for my replies.

I wanted a home and a future too Mike. They have theirs. They want this one too and for me to walk away with nothing. Call me crazy but I think that's sick. He laughed at me for trying to get out and buy a townhouse in the year 2000. He could afford more. I wish I wrote the story out.

Would yourfamily be like this?

I was always devaluedand taken from foe their gain. My parents would have lost their home, that made it impossible for me to get up.

My mother would promise just to get a cheque.

They even lied about what I paid.

This all sounds so sad, sad that family could behave this way.

Yes, and Jim is the leader. Thank you Mike because sometimes I feel like it's just me and I'm crazy.

This will all come to an end some day and my only advice is to get away from your family and stay away. Start a new life.

I can't psychologically I need stability. I need to be home. Secondly I am so far past broke it's unreal I am borrowing money for food and smoking which I can't stop. On top of that, I need just for work I need to be there. Anyways thank you.

How's things going with you?

You living at home?

Well... I just pick up my feet and move on, but the system won't let me. Legally and Financially I am being completely destroyed. It's too much to explain. My lawyer said o would never be able to return home. You have no idea hogwash the "System" can destroy your life by burying you in legal bullshit and pieces of paper full of things that are untrue.

Just be glad you work for the railway, I have so many problems I'll likely ever recover.

I almost feel like saying fuck it. Find a way to live on cash and ignore everyone.

If work hires again you want a job

Possibly, maybe. I have to wait and see what happens to my name legally. Everybody wants to take from me now, including the government. I'd explain but... even the CRA is screwing me now.

You don't win with them.
