Sounds ripe for a class action lawsuit for unpaid wages. Round up a group of employees, current and former, and file complaints with the Virginia Department of Labor.

It's an issue because of drug use. That's why the Bryan Park one, for example, has been closed. Now there are portapotties.

There are portajohns at Huguenot Flatwater

Yeah they are simply just doing a money grab. It’s so obvious.

Inflation in general is up bc companies are making record profits.

Sorry if you're really friendly or helpful I might tip on pickup, but I'm not tipping someone to grab a ramekin or sprinkle parsley. That's just part of the job. (Source over 15 years both management)

>What type of bs is this

This is the direct result of the restaurant industry guilting/bullying their customer base into compensating their employee's wages due to covid.

Sure, restaurants took a hit initially but for well over a year now it's been business as usual.

20% autograt for takeout is garbage 99.99% of the time... but especially if it's not disclosed when you order.

You already have the most important tool, desire. From there it’s just trying things. Pick a project. Get some wood and just make a box, (bottom, sides maybe a top), then finish it (paint, stain or Polly). Paint the bathroom (it’s probably the smallest room in the house). Get a piece of drywall, punch a hole in it, then patch it. You can do it, don’t be afraid to start.

No one ever taught me that kind of stuff as a kid either. Honestly I just searched for tutorials online and otherwise winged it until I figured it out. I'm pretty good at it now, but it did take several years to get there.

Laurel skate park maybe? There's a half pipe in the imagery on Google maps

I use a handyman

Can confirm!

YouTube is really the best source and just getting in there when the time comes. I did the same when I bought mine and I've done a lot of home reno projects at this point. I would suggest watching multiple videos on the same subject and review the comments. Some YT stuff is not good info and you'll often see commenters telling them why their way is not safe/good. Good luck with buying!

Maybe try the Southside Community Center skatepark.

Offer to help out if you know someone doing something, or if they can show you how to do things. I've remodeled bathrooms on my own at this point, but it all started by being that extra set of hands.

The other part about doing work yourself, is having the tools to do it. Start with a basic tool kit and build from there. A few places have tool rental programs which can save you a bit of money especially for tools you might only use once or twice. I've used that mainly for automotive tools.

I don't have experience with it myself so I can't say for sure, but I think volunteering at Habitat for Humanity would help you learn some of these skills.

Best advice is to start small and drive in. Start with painting and small drywall items after watching YT. There is only so much you ca screw up with those items. And if you do screw up don’t worry as at worst you could cal a professional to resolve it.

Build your tools up slowly as well as your confidence.

If you do call professionals observe what they do to get tips and tricks for how they operate. They really have items that make the impossible seam easy.

Good luck.

Pocahontas has a nice, relatively flat hike around a little lake

Never knew they did that, I will definitely be looking into doing this!

Back when I had time to go, I took a few of those Home Depot workshops. They were the best and took a lot of the anxiety out of home ownership. The instructor/employees I had were very detailed and great at explaining and modeling the process, and questions were always welcomed and allowed an amazing discussion amongst all who attended. These are a must! Home ownership has enough stress involved for those of us who aren’t handy, so anything to help relieve it is appreciated!

I have known a few people who worked there over the past couple of years and this matches what they’ve said. Apparently the rest was supposed to go towards things for staff like meals and things but that doesn’t show.

I am not. Also, This is my of work. If i get injured or something similar, i have no skill to fall back on. Quit yourbullshit.

I also looked into this.

The Richmond Adult Technical Center currently has a class for Home Decor and Remodeling. Basically, a class for DIYers.

I couldn't take it this semester but I am hoping that they offer a similar class in the summer.

Definitely look into that.

This was def in place when I worked there 2017ish
