Hammer tacker/stapler

[highup]

Sounds like one of the typical high end jobs we use to do around Philadelphia
( Go Birds ) It’s a Randy job and I can’t wait to see photos of the crafty ramp. Probably some sort of layered structure that, if possible, can be spread out over a large portion of the area.

As for the pad glue, (cheep mpa) rather than staples…..It’s probably totally not necessary. I was picturing a thick 40 ounce felt, made thicker than usual and sometimes it just laughs at the staples. Here you are pounding away at it and it’s barely holding it down….. In that case, I would break out a 6” spackle knife or the short end of the trowel and smear some glue….. Have fun High, how long is the commute ?

40 oz wool pad. Let's see if my allergies come back.

Real wool or synthetic.

1:12 is standard but you’re gonna see that.

I'm going out more than a foot.

The real deal. Moooo

Maybe I'll sleep better counting rolls of pad. It came from Bloomsburg, same place that makes the carpet.

Didn't work....

This is a 1.5 mil home and it's on plywood. No bucket of glue here.

Value is subjective cus you can easily drop a million for a basic 3br 2ba block house here.

I remember the clowns at HD would say some crap like ‘This is an 18k job’ as if I should care more. First off half that 18k is materials so now we’re down to a 9k job and half of that 9K gets sucked up by HD and the service provider. So now we’re talking $4500 to me and the rest of that original number doesn’t mean anything to me.

It's $35,000 just for the carpet on this job and it's 5 bedrooms, none outrageously large. He needed 260 yards but he has to buy the entire run of carpet or 360 + a 10% "overage"
All in all, the owner will probably be into this for $48,000 including shipping.
As a bonus, he'll have 100+ yards left over in case repairs need to be done some day.
This isn't going to be where he lives. It's a little 5500 sq ft vacation cottage next to the golf course.
I have no idea its value in our area. When someone says it's a "million dollar" home.... It could be 2. I don't have a clue.

I guess maybe you could expect a 10%
tip 4,800

Might as well add $2000.... It's 20 miles out of town.

That’s a pleasant distance to and from. Take a few golf clubs and balls and pretend you’re a fancy pants member

Cheaper than I thought, but I'd be required to have a caddy, tip him, buy clubs, shoes, a wetsuit this time of year....

No ! Sneak on at the end of the day

That’s quite a golfing complex if you like playing in the rain

 

[highup]

Yeah, they're sorta on the map.
$1600 bottle of wine ?
......yeah, they got that, but I'd rather try a
$1600 bottle of beer.
....but they don't got that.

Maybe expect a 20 % tip then, he’ll just round it off to 10,000 … that could be me and C. J. ‘S bar tab

So ! It doesn’t rain over that golf resort ?

I will admit to splurging on an $80 or a $100 bottle of wine every few years but $1600??? Don’t think there would ever be a reason that I would spend that much on a ‘drink’. There’s some fancy assed restaurant here that has a IDGAF as a menu item. Last time I looked it was right around $200 and the chef ‘Took care of you’. Ive fantasize about what that meal would taste like. Maybe one day.

The summer, from June to October, we might see 1 1/2 to 3 inches. We got almost 18" this year from October through November. The rain year Starts October 1st, so we're off to a pretty healthy start. A normal year is around 65 to 67 inches. It hasn't rained at all tho since the day before Thanksgiving. The morning lows for a week or so have been 27 to 30, a bit cooler than average. Lows should be in the mid to low 40s.

I'm still looking for the wine list. Haven't found it yet, but just started watching this one. It's interesting.
