I wish. Did go down to the basement and got my central a/c running. It would be two weeks to get a tech.
What did you do today?

But if your a flooring guy you are meant to be sitting in a wardrobe just waiting for that phone call to do the instalation right now
How come things don't work when we actually want something done in our house?
Been waiting for a week after paying deposit for a guy to sort out our pot belly stove. No phone call No nothing
Went out and charged the A/C on my wife's minivan. Cost me $5 for Freon. Shop charges $57. They want $600 to fix the leak and I can charge it once a month.

You can't buy it in NJ unless you are a business.
You can buy it here at Walmart.
It is an item very hard to purchase in Kommieformia. However, you can get all your marijuana needs and Hillary bumper stickers at any store.

I have gauges, so I just use the $4.88 stuff.
Been doing classrooms of C&A peel n stick carpet-----furniture, demo existing unitary backed Bigelow carpet in the Broadlock (green) glue and it's down like a MoFo. Move furniture, demo VCT at entries and sinks where we put walk off mats. Cove base and replace all the furniture every day. I've been there since Memorial Day. It breaks down to a journeyman and a decent helper can get one room a day. Two journeyman finish in 6-7 hours average. The glue is so stick when we demo our shoes are sticking to the floor and it's a bitch to sweep all the dirt and stands of carpet that unravel when we're tearing out.
I got pulled off to go to VCT in a multi-purpose room----2500 square feet with a funky random pattern. Easy money for me and 15 minutes from home on a Friday. I left three guys on the other job. They won't quite finish this week but it'll be a light day on Monday for a guy and a helper picking up all the loose ends. It was nearly 4K square yards. Beat the **** out of me.

You doing any in Azusa?
Not this month but I have done some work at their District headquarters recently. My wife worked for AUSD for 7 years.
I think I will retrofit my old work van and see if I can get the A/C in it to work. Had to order the parts so it will be this weekend.
Tomorrow I'm in La Puente
When I work in schools, hospitals and other government buildings I leave my tools overnight with no second thoughts whatsoever even in the worst neighborhoods. I figure they're safer there than in my truck/van in the driveway at my house.
My oldest son got robbed in an apt. building, he was on the next floor down from me. I was armed he wasn't. I left KC right after that.
BEST slab conditions of the half dozen MPR (multi-purpose room) I've come across in this school district. Every other one had severe alkalinity, obviously caused by moisture problems AND horribly rough concrete to boot.
We threw a quick sand, sweep, skim and sand again over 2500 square feet and it's ready for VCT Monday AM. In fact I snapped the lines, opened the cartons of tile, notched up the trowels and dry-laid the walk off mats.
We should finish installation Monday including cove base, reducers and walk off mats. Today I had a dummy-----ZERO period apprentice. Monday I'm getting a journeyman who has done this same tile pattern with me on two other MPR rooms in the same district. It's an AWFUL cI Iolor/pattern choice but I can't control that.

I thought we'd actually have a short day 6.5-7.5 hours but it was a FULL 8.
UGLIEST floor I can recall laying and the school principle didn't like it. This is the third one I did like this and only the guy who chose the design likes it so far. Well, he signs the check so I guess we continue as is.
Tomorrow I do another one and the guy who helped me finish today is prepping another one for us to do when we complete the next one. I sure hope they change the color/pattern/scheme.

When you do a random tile installation, do you use a specific pattern to make it random?
We had a guy that wanted a random pattern and walked into the room at measure a threw out a handful of pennies onto the floor and where they landed is where he wanted the off color. One way of being random.

I saw a sound wall (made from slumpstone) on a freeway recently where they would recess one block randomly. It was so random that it actually had a slight pattern, and this was why the original question.
