Will you pay me to instruct you on how to make money with residential IR. I can do it in Houston or Kansas City. For you Buddy I would do it for free just to show you it can be done BTW I quit smoking and you know that:D:D
That is kinda like asking what is the color of my underwear its personal
Nope. There’s no market for IR in Houston. Not worth bothering… Complete waste of money for anyone to try to offer IR services here.
It’s entirely coincidental that I stay booked 10 days to two weeks out.
I tell folks the same Chuck…
Hope all is well ole Buddy…!!
If I lived in the Houston market I might say the same; well not really a little competition never bothered me;-)
Congrats on that! My 1 year is coming up. Looking back, it amazes me how tough it was and now how easy it is.

My one year was last November and it was the hardest thing I ever accomplished the urge still hits me occasionally but I will never go back to that I’m done, 44 years was enough for any fool
39 years for me, and today is my 6 month smoke-free. Woo-Hoo!!! Still get the urge, like after yesterdays P.O.S. inspection, but I held firm!
3 years this month after 29 years. Worst part now is walk past a smoker and thinking “I used to stink like that”. NASTY!
i need to quit, how did you guys do it?
I used Chantix and a picture in my mind of my dead sister with one leg as a result of smoking and 3 bypasses on my legs I am a slow learner:shock:
I had been thinking of quitting for a long time (as most smokers lie about) but the last two years I was slowly cutting back. I was down to 1/2 pack a day from 2+ packs a day. Last September, after an inspection, I just wasn’t feeling quite like myself, and stopped at the drug store to check my BP (which I do every now and then out of curiosity). It was through the roof! Long story short… I visited the ER, who admitted me for two days to the hospital. When I got home again, I lit up a smoke, gagged on it, said what the hell am I doing, put it out, threw away the remaining pack, and walked away from it all.
I honestly feel that if I had not been cutting back for the two years prior, I would not have been able to quit like that. So if you are addicted (39 years) like I was, start cutting back today. Work up to it, or you will probably fail like I did so many times in the past. I am now on three different BP meds, and a Thyroid med. I should have quit five years ago when I didn’t have these issues. It has affected my methods of performing my work. Try walking a roof when you unexpectedly get dizzy. Not fun.
Shane, I am not sure about the others, but I just stopped. I had tried everything in the past. The patch worked great, but you are still getting the fix, so you still think about it. The patch just takes care of the physical part. The physical part isn’t really the hard part, it is the mental part. After 22 years of smoking I just woke up one morning and was done. I have had zero cravings and the only time I think about smoking is when I realize how dumb it was for all those years. Having a drink was always when I failed in past attempts to stop, so I avoided that for a few months.
I have that same thought often, Chad.

Congrats on quitting smoking guys.
That’s not an easy accomplishment.
I almost brought up Chantix in my last post. Before anyone goes on it, make sure to really read up on it. It works for many people, but has some seriously scary potential side effects.

I used a patch for about 3 days and quit. That was about 10 years ago after smoking since I was 16. Then I quit drinking a couple years ago after slammin’ 'em down every day for 35 years. Just quit. It’s that simple.
Drinking was an easy quit for me also. Just decided one day to stop, and I did. Never looked back.
Funny, it was easy after moving away from my hometown of Chicago. I think I drank more in my teenage years in Chicago, than I did in all other years combined! Now I’m in Minnesota where everyone and their grandmothers drink like there’s no tomorrow. Thankfully, it has no effect on me. Don’t miss it a bit.
=D> It really is that easy. Its just a matter of re-focusing your thoughts on to something else. If you like to work (I do) then just work more. The extra time you have from not running outside every so often really ads up and allows for a ton of work to get done.

The trouble for me is I love coffee, beer and smoking. I tried chantix but it didnt seem to do anything for me. When i quit i felt the same way as i would cold turkey aka i was a huge asshole. I hated how i would snap at my wife or my dog. If i could find a way to quit and not be a psycopath i would do it immediatly.
coffee is good for you, drink as much as you can.
Beer not so good, drink occasionally.
Smoking will kill you, quit ASAP.
