Please stop asking producers for ballparks and then tell the producer every job you have done for less money after receiving said ballpark. I promise we want to tell you what you want to hear and would if we could. We are experts and know what we are talking about, and can help you if you work with us.

It’s karma for producers asking creatives for estimates on how long something takes to make, yet they already made promises for 1/2 the time it really takes to make it.

Is this a thing that happens? I have been doing this for over ten years and timing questions also come to producers, usually paired with promises for less time from other departments. I’ve never asked a creative a timing question, again that is our specialty

Anyone looking at traveling to Costa Rica? They have a list of states from which they will admit tourists while also requiring a negative covid test, health history, etc. As someone not on the approved list, I am bitter and curious why the population is grouped at a state level when there are massively different rates of infection within each state (not to mention personal responsibility) and you are already required to present a negative test. Any idea how often those lists get updated?

We are renovating a condo and the previous owner had two Crane toilets (not sure how old, but functioning although seals are old according to our contractor). Back outlet flour mount ones are the only options for the building, and one toilet can cost $300-$500.

We are redoing all the bathroom tiles and walls and debating what we should do with the two toilets. Would resealing the toilets extend the use life? Or should we just replace the toilets? Any other recommendations? TIA!!
