Healthcare workers at Telecare Willow Rock Center received 200 N95 masks and 500 non-surgical masks from the San Leandro Unified School District and Christian Rodriguez SLUSD Area 2 Trustee's business Simple Floors - San Francisco! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Construction Scams: In times like this we hear a lot of fraud, and identity theft scams as well as just people taking advantage of those who are vulnerable, or open themselves up to them.
When doing your home projects, please make sure you are working with a true professional in the trade. Find a reputable company that has been in the business for many years and a history of reviews. Hire only licensed contractors and check their license.
Keep in mind, many people have lost jobs and are working outside their scope to feed their family, while I understand the idea of trying to work to feed your family, scamming people isn't the way to go about it.
Stay inside, stay safe and stay sane!
Thank you Shaw for stepping up in times like these.

Air Purifying Floors?!?! What's your home's IAQ (Indoor Air Quality?) Available at Simple Floors Oakland!
It's true... Pure Genius is a light-activated, air-purifying agent made of titanium dioxide and incorporated into their finish. Just like the air filter-fan you've seen in stores, that uses a titanium dioxide rod and UV light to activate, then the fan to circulate air around them.

I didn’t right this up, but this scenario does happened to me all the time. I did a live edge wood slab epoxy countertop.
A customer asked me how much it cost to make a table....
I answered him: $ 1500
He said: So expensive for this job?
I asked: How much do you think it would cost you?
He answers me: $ 800 maximum... That's a pretty simple job right? !"
- For $ 800 I invite you to do it yourself.
- But.... I don't know how to.
- For $800 I'll teach you how to. So besides saving you $700, you'll get the knowledge for the next time you want
- It seemed right to him and he agreed.
- But to get started: you need tools: A table saw, a planer, a top, dormants, etc...
- But I don't have all these equipment and I can't buy all of these for one job.
- Well then for another $250 more I'll rent my stuff to you so you can do it.
- Okay, he says.
- Okay! Tuesday I'm waiting for you to start doing this work
- But I can't on Tuesday I only have time today.
- I'm sorry, but I'm only available Tuesday to teach you and lend you my stuff. Other days are busy with other customers.
- Okay! That means I'm going to have to sacrifice my Tuesday, give up my tasks.
- I forgot. To do your job yourself, you also have to pay for the nonproductive factors.
- That is? What is this?"
- Bureaucratic, tax, vat, security, insurance, fuel etc.
- Oh no!... But to accomplish these tasks, I'm going to spend more money and waste a lot of time!
- Do you have them? You can do it to me before?"
- Okay!
- I'll make you all the material you need. Truck loading is done Monday evening or Tuesday morning you'll have to come by 6 loading the truck. Don't forget to be on time to avoid traffic jams and be on time
- At 6??? Nope! Too early for me! I used to getting up later.
...
- You know, I've been thinking. Y ' all better get the job done. I'd rather pay you the $1500. If I had to, it wouldn't be perfect and it would cost me a lot more.
When you pay for a job, especially handcrafted, you pay not only for the material used, but also:
- Knowledge
- Experience
- Study
- Tools
- Services
- Time to go
- punctuality
- Accountability
- Professionalism
- Accuracy
- Guaranteed
- Patents
- Sacrifices
- Safety and security
- Payment of tax obligations
No one can denigrate other people's work by judging prices.
Only by knowing all the elements necessary for the production of a certain work can you estimate the actual cost.
I did not write this dialogue, but am sharing it to support craftsmen and entrepreneurs.
