A friend writes my inspection stickers. He was surprised once that I had the car with me.

Possible . He works at Windsor. They make all the steam cleaning equipment .
Bought out by a German company a few years ago .

Started 4000 s/y C&A at a large high school complex. Odd shaped rooms, a theater with carpeted stair seating, a huge library and long hallways. Shop subbed out the demo.
Another dude started Monday delivering, cleaning, priming and cutting the material. We started installation today. Tomorrow I'm running the show. The onliest thing easier than Peel 'n Stick C&A carpet is carpet tiles. This is grunt work. Mindless, repetition and I'm thinking I'll be here quite a while. But one never knows, do one?

Love cpt tiles . You glue a piece of cpt to your trial to spread the glue IN ?
That's exactly how we generally spread carpet tile glue. With the C&A primer we either use paint rollers or a broom depending on the porosity and time frame of the projects. It's essentially a SEALER moreso than a primer or glue.
Google Lok Dots.
We're doing quite a few thousand yards of these carpet tiles at another district.
Pretty slick when the conditions are.........decent.

Yep ! Heat warning for tomorrow . :machine gun:
If a ball hits farther at 75 degrees than 65 degrees............... then this sounds like a good golf day if there ever was one.

True , But if the R/H goes up you get less distance ..
Even a Bad day of Golf , is better then a good day of work !

Compared to what I do 75-90% of the time running a C&A carpet job is really a F'n breeze.
ESPECIALLY when someone else does the demo.
There's some ugliness..........demo guys left some pretty bad areas and when the 40-yard dumpster fulled up they left mountains of trash piled in 3 rooms. But I have two really good, young apprentices hustling and dragging the crap out the door. The 2 journeymen are mediocre at best....HUSTLE wise but they're not doing shitty work I have to double and triple check.
I can deal with that.
I meant to take some photos but I was a little rushed. Maybe tomorrow.
I've been putting a water pump in my S10.............. what a friigin pain. Working tomorrow, but all I have left is installing the hoses and replacing the battery and coolant. Truck has been down for over a month. The water pump started leaking a couple weeks after I installed a new radiator.
Looking from the underside, it looks like the oil pan is resting on the cross member.............. so I'm guessing motor mounts are next on the list.

Put a battery in the Nissan my MIL left. Old one was 7 years old. Was still working, but scared me.
Good idea. They usually die 2 days after the warranty runs out.

Still have the same battery from 2006 in my van. Starts right up ..
17 rooms are done with the C&A carpet. Only three left.......I think. Then we work in the Ampitheater, hallways and library.
Oh, there's about 375 s/y sheet vinyl as well. Not sure what the deal is on that. It's Armstrong. Probably Medintech.

I put 2 batteries in my dodge turbo diesel last week. Today had a fuel leak, smelled fuel coming in through the ac. Found it on the rail injection pump/fuel injector. Twas one loose nut, quarter turn if that. Very difficult to find.
