What did you do today?

[Floorist]

Went to the range and shot a few. Nothing exciting.

 

[Floorist]

Just got word that one of my best customers died this morning. He was a slumlord with about 50 houses. Going to miss him. His granddaughter will be a wealthy woman.

I wonder if she will know what to do with all that property-- and what the inheritance tax is like there. She might be stuck with a lot of liability.

CRAZY difficult demo. Near as hard as it gets for carpet. 13 classrooms on the 2nd floor------13 more on the 1rst to receive C&A. Furniture was pretty easy for once. Lees hot melt backing carpet over some green glue that's over a previous multi-purpose. It's coming up in 8-12" strips but what horrible is that to get the machine to work someone has to actually stand on it. Another guy has to push and there's about 20-33% where you need a third guy pulling at the same time or you're going nowheres. And I mean nowheres. Fast.

Particle board?

There's a LOT of reasons that's a horrible idea. The carpet is stuck but demo rips about a third to a half of the skin off. We tried different blades and they tore holes to China.

Thank God the 1rst floor is concrete and all all the furniture is gone and the demo is complete. Watch. I'll be there for the 2nd floor and when it's done they'll send me to another job.

We barely got three classrooms moved out and tore out the carpet. Horrible. There were 2 of us at first then they sent another helper for about half a day.

 

[Floorist]

I really don't miss commercial work.

 

[Nick]

I did a main entrance in a Hospital years ago. Couldn't use the machine because of the noise . 2 guys pulling 4" strips. Breaking our chops doing it to .

 

[zannej]

Particle board for floors? Yikes! That is not good!

Today I picked up after my brother bc he's a slob and won't clean up after himself. I helped him pick up the trash that had spilled (because he didn't take the trash out for a few weeks and I couldn't because of my back problems). He did a half-assed job and just watched me do the work, but I needed his help to lift the bag because he's taller and has more leverage. We use an outdoor trash can in our kitchen.

I scrubbed the inside of the toilet tank with a pool scrubber.

And I used woolite carpet shampoo and a scrubber to try to get the maple syrup out. It's currently soaking in a bit and I'm going to see how much more I can get up (a bottle fell over and spilled-- almost the entire contents).

And I've been running diagnostics on my computer. It's been running hot and having issues. Nick has been helping me with that.

 

[Nick]

Pick up a container of that iron out Z . You won't be sorry .

Pick up a container of that iron out Z . You won't be sorry .

I'll have to see if they have it next time I'm in the area that has homedepot. I only go to that town once every few months now.

 

[Floorist]

The meds for the infection in my hand were not working so they put me on some stronger ones. Now, I am really sick and tired. Should have mowed today but did not make it.

Drove out to the range today since it was raining so hard in Town, I spotted a big open spot in the clouds on radar and loaded up a few of my pistola's. Had to drive into the storms to get out of them.
I have to say I'm damn good with the LCP at close range point an shoot. Fast fire at five paces.

 

[Ernesto]

That was like three mags worth. Only the second time I've fired it. Anyone tells you a .380 is too small.for self defence is crazy.

I hope your hand starts to heal soon.

Laid the two classrooms. I had a whole roll cut before I realized it's a 38" pattern match. Seams up real nicely double cutting through once you align the pattern overlapping abut 2 1/2 inches or so. The hardest part is moving the material over the existing glue to get the pattern on. You need a guy shaking the backing off the glue and another guy shifting it around which makes it real awkward to eyeball the pattern. We'll get a lot faster as the job progresses. Classrooms are roughly 90 s/y per.

There was no seam diagram

I called the salesman to see how he figured it. There's supposedly 13% waste and his computer estimating program was directed to figure each rooms to be laid lengthwise.

There's another building our shop already did. They told me just go look see how those guys did it. They ran the material shortways. I had already cut up that one roll going the long ways and actually think it's very stupid to run it the shortways. We're doing this building the longways.

 

[Floorist]

Going to birthday party for my 8 year old granddaughter(my son's daughter). His sister( my daughter) made this cake.

 

[Nick]

You made it ?

 

[Floorist]

You made it ?

No, my daughter.

 

[Nick]

OK, Had me worried there for a minute . Cake looks nice .

 

[Ernesto]
