Doesn't sound fun nor profitable.

Had another yesterday
Drove 30ks about 7 sq m smoothing compound which was 2 coats then lay 5 lin m vinyl with 4 m heat weld and got home about 3 pm
The kicker was when I went to work this morning they allowed 2 days
I love doing jobs which cost me money
Also one cant find a lino layer these days
The other layer the retailer uses is on holiday
How do retailers make money to pay their overheads when they cant organize
Glad I am old not needing the money
 
I hate laying lino, but love cutting holes on it, then replacing the holes with new ones.

Here was my find of the week a few weeks ago at the Habitat store. I wish they still made a topical sealer like this. I could use it right now.
I might resort to one on the mannington 2 part sealers to coat the 4 small circle or plugs that I did today.

I have a room prepped to accept Armstrong alterna tiles. The room is 20 x 20 and the tiles are black and white 16in by 16in.
I couldn't find my Armstrong trowel a couple days ago so I ordered a new one. It was supposed to be here this morning but didn't show up. It won't be here till Tuesday....... so that's how my day went. No one in town carries that Armstrong trowel, so I went home to look for one that would work close enough. I found one but it wasn't in very good shape. But it had about 30% more notches then the Armstrong trowel so that wasn't going to work.
....... I was looking for a spare wire brush in the back of my newer van, the one that has the transmission problem. Lo and behold underneath a plastic bag was my Armstrong trowel.
What a waste of a day.
I'm working at the fellas place over the weekend, hoping to get the room completed. His son and daughter-in-law and their newborn baby are coming up from California next week. He'd really like to get this job done.
 
I was going to cut the other yard. But when I ride the mower up on my trailer it will no longer go back down. If I was 2 people I could do it but have no help.
 
I didn't see the email. Using my phone and my friend just got Internet back. Mom and I were stranded for 3 days bc 4 trees fell in a pile on the road trapping us. No ac. No running water. Hot as hell. Only 1 bar of signal out in the yad but it kept dropping. Couldn't get a hold of parish road people or power company to report it. Finally called sheriff to ask them to pass the info on to appropriate people for help. They said we were s.o.l. and it would be days or weeks before we'd get help. I was finally able to get in touch with a friend who just got back to the state. He came out and cut a path through the trees so we could get out.
My brother had stayed at a friend's house so he wasn't trapped
 
Having a very hard time typing on my phone. Message was sent before I was done and I can't edit.
My brother bought a generator for friends house so he'd be comfortable but made no effort to get us any help, wasn't answering messages or calls.
If our friend hadn't come to cut the limbs I think we would have had heat stroke.
They finally cleared trees day before yesterday. Been crashed on friends couch since. Crowded here bc other people invited themselves over. This interface is ticking me off so I'll type more when I get a computer back.
