What did you do today?

[Incognito]

I taught one of my college classes today. The teacher had to be gone and got permission for me to fill in. It was fun.

How cool is that?

We did a RESIDENTIAL gym with 10MM Mondo over Everlay underlayment in Beverly Hills. 1300 square foot. Bigger than my whole house. Zillow says the home is worth roundabout $19 million. I only saw the gym.

I wasn't there yesterday when they put the Everlay pad. To me they should have done a LOT more prep. Let's hope the gym equipment hides the sloppy prep. Today I did all the pattern scribing whilst the other guys smeared the epoxy. Easy money.

But LOOK at the F'n lumps under the rubber in the last photo!

Hey, I just work here man.

Who is on the phone on all the pics? If he was my employee I would make him either leave that phone at home or use it to find another job!

When I take photos it's either on break time or quitting time. I'm a union installer. I don't take pictures on the boss' dime. We were done for the day, packing up our tools and I snapped a few photos.

Yeah, I'd rather not have had that dude in the pictures. But I'm not trying to pose up pictures for some kind of sales presentation. It is what it is.

in, I was just pulling your string. I've never been a boss and really don't care. Were the bricks used to weigh down the flooring while the glue was setting up?

They're required on the heavy gauge rubber sheet goods to hold the seams flush whilst the epoxy sets. We also have to pull the seams tight with asking tape for the same reason. The rubber will move even in ideal conditions so this is standard operating procedure. Cross seams use more bricks and we usually weight down a lot of the walls, especially on the ends as opposed to the sides of the sheets.

You never have too many bricks.

Did a carpet repair at a Best Western today.
Note to self............ never bring the car battery into a motel room to charge it.

On a place that expensive, why are the lumps in that floor in the first place? New construction on a home like that wouldn't need floor prep if I was the architect.

Finally figured out how to open up the cover on my old Broan heat/light/vent that is probably older than me (or about the same age) and changed the lightbulb. It made a zzt noise when I turned it on and it goes off if the switch is moved even a little. I'm guessing a loose connection is the problem. Either that or fried wires. Not sure. The vent and heat don't work anymore. It makes noise, but doesn't generate heat or move air.
But at least there is light now.

Check the switch!

If just one switch turns on the light, heat and fan, I wouldn't use the unit. Could be the fan bearings are dry or almost seized up from lint and dust. The fan motor might be trying to turn, or turning slowly under a heavy load. If the fan motor can't turn, it will certainly heat up.
With the switch off, flick the fan with your finger. It should spin freely and not come to an abrupt stop. I have cleaned and lubed my bathroom fan motor bearings a few times over the years and the fan will spin like new again. The bearings are most likely bronze bushings, with are self lubrication for the most part. Years of sucking in dust can gum them up and stop the fan from spinning.
Like Daris said, replace the switch, but check the fan movement also.
