Beware of mil's with shotguns.

When I was eight we had an intruder, my dad broke his nose and took him to the porch to wait for the deputies..my mom was watching him while my dad got his drawers on, with a shotgun. He tried to get up and she knocked him out with it, bent the barrel on his head.

Mult-purpose room isn't ready in this school but they still want the administrative offices done. Same pattern. It's blue today.

Today we finished another one. It was green. Next one is over 100 cartons. I can't wait to see what color it is. That's about all I get for excitement on these. It's getting redundant.

did I spell that right?

From what I hear there's at least a couple more weeks of this. You never know what to believe.
That looks more like CHAOS than redundant... Looks like you are getting way to comfortable with this job. :D
 
Metal door jams pain in the neck with VCT
Nice job. I worked for a shop that had the school contract for a few years, can't say it was my favorite...literally pallets of VCT lol

Is that last janitor closet in old cove flashing/epoxy ?

The slop sink has some sort of epoxy coating coved up. What a mess. I think the abatement crew was using that sink. They're quite a bit cleaner than most crews but I guess it's near impossible to get the glue, solvent and kitty litter out of all the nooks and crannies. The door jambs are a MESS with the residue on and underneath. I clean and prep around them as well as I can or I am very sorry I didn't when I have to make the hot cuts.

I've had a guy working with me and I usually let them do all the hot cuts. Today I was by my lonesome and had to do them myself. Takes time to do them right.

BTW, most of the frames in these old schools are wood but they've got residual asphalt asbestos tiles under them so you can use an undercut saw without the whole abatement set up.

It's close by my home. I know where I'll be for the next couple weeks or so. Your truck can be parked immediately where you are working, within 50 feet or so. No hard hat, safety glasses, vests and boots. This kind of work is extremely easy for me. It's what I did most of when I started the trade so it's right in my wheelhouse. I'm working at my own pace.

It doesn't get much better. Yes. I'm comfortable for once.

I've got one more tile bath to do upstairs for a single mom living with a sweet handicapped grandmom and daughter. I also fixed her water damaged laminate when other contractors told her to rip it all out.
 
I did a carpet seam repair today.......... and just like 99% of the seam repairs I've ever done, (besides an ugly seam), it would have been 100% preventable if the installer would have sealed the seam.
Nope, seams don't need to be sealed.... It's a total waste of time. :rolleyes:
Money in my pocket I guess.
