    It was the other driver's fault, so their insurance company is picking up the tab for everything. The picture was taken in my friend's parents' garage after the collision occurred, so the car is obviously driveable.

    This looks appealing for a supplementary part-time gig, and definitely does not look like it would be anywhere near as hard on my truck as DoorDash and Uber would be!

    It’s still going to be hard on your truck.
    My mom just moved out of an apartment, the trash service was just like the one you posted.
    Your truck will never be turned off unless your unloading at the dumpster. And you’ll be making LOTS of trips. Stop and go, move 30ft and do it all over again. And on top of all that, hope the residents used good trash bags. Other wise, you’ll bust some hauling it to your truck. And of course, the liquid left in your truck that leaks from all the bags

    I literally talked to the “trash guy” about it. He said bad weather made it even worse.

    I would never commit such an act myself, and the grocery stores are not at faut, but New Jersey really fucked up by implementing that law in my opinion...

    Read closely. It says open bed pickup or trailer. I have a pickup, and it does a trailer hitch, but I don't think I need to have a trailer since I have a truck; I also refuse to put even more wear-and-tear on my truck by pulling a trailer unless it is for pleasure. The one exception to the rule is when I pulled my employer's trailer a few tenths of a mile on company property. If I buy a boat or a jet ski, or a small camper, or I move and need to pull a UHAUL trailer then I will take the risk of towing with my truck. With the exception of that one time at my primary employer, no company could ever pay me enough to tow a trailer with my truck.

    Look at all the roof to wall junctions just waiting to start leaking in 10-15 years.
    Simple roof lines make for (mostly) trouble free roofs.

    You were saying that about the other contemporary house I posted; I guess there's a reason contemporary went out of style?

    I agree, and finding a roofer that does drip edge and flashing correctly is hard to do these days.

    Are they hiring part-time? You've been there for years, so I'm guessing you think it's a pretty good place to work? Are the trademark orange aprons provided for free?

    They just built one about 20 miles from here.
    I’ve heard it’s definitely a place to visit.
    Someone told me they even have a beef jerky bar?

    How about this one? However, there are no many lots around here that would be conducive to a rear-entry garage...
