Installers You Have Trained.

[FloorMaven]

People I have trained generally are good installers, but that's mainly because I'm training them from the ground up.

I'm usually training someone who already installs...

Am I the only one who thinks those two statements are contradictory?

No. I think you are right.

No. I think you are right.

Well, there's what I was thinking, and there's what I meant. Rather than edit my original post, I left it so everyone can see the flow.

In general, I am not training installers from the ground up. I was thinking in terms of training them for oriental runners. In that one regard, I usually have to train people from the ground up. But I'm not teaching people what tack strip is, for the most part.

I hope that clarifies what I meant.

Don't you hate working with helpers/installers that someone else has trained? Doesn't seem like they ever have learned the right way to do things, just the fastest way.

I'm not sure I know what an oriental runner is.

He's the little guy.

An Asian Marathoner?

Funny! My husband's last helper thought he knew everything, moved to Virginia with a gal he met on internet and hooked a job there which lasted 2 days. We figure they realized he had sent pics of the work of 35 year pros and claiming as his own.
