I thought we were all pretty polite also.

It's a fairly common hinge in my world. We're not pulling THAT door under pretty much any circumstance. If it were a cove lino/rubber job that requires the doors being removed I would start the whole Email/phone call/text message/RFI drama. It's not always possible to the job correctly without pulling the doors. You CAN do the job though, putting seams where they otherwise don't need to be. You just need to see who cares enough to respond to the "demand" that the door comes off.
One never knows.
Had a guy call today and want me to bid on a job. About 10 years ago, same guy, I bid on one and he said I was too high. I can only imagine what he will say now. Called back and got his voice mail.
Went over and measured it, thought he was going to collapse when I gave him the price.
T ball tonight, softball tomorrow night, then season is over.
Reality is medicine enough.Don't you serve anti fainting medicine with those quotes?
Gas at the local Walmart is $1.79. Have not seen it that low for a long time. Was over $2 a couple weeks back

It was only one station, and one day .
Koster........clean and apply 14 2.4 gallon units across about 4K square feet in an elementary school multi purpose room
They didn't say but pretty sure we're going to lay 2MM Mondo tile.
Concrete was extremely rough. Really sucked up the epoxy.

Looks like Ardexes two part epoxy water proof coating . What a hump to roll.
We've used Ardex moisture stuff and I was trained both at the union school and by their tech reps on site. I never saw anything like the Koster epoxy from Ardex.
It's all very much a hump to roll out.........you will always need 1-2 COMPETENT men working with you.
What I remember from Ardex was they had three different mixes. The one we used they wanted us to "broadcast" sand across the wet epoxy to create a bonding texture to avoid the need for a primer for the patch to bond to the non-porous epoxy.
It's MUCH easier to just use the Koster primer-------NO F'n sand to broadcast and then sweep away. Otherwise, if you don't use the sand Ardex wants you to use a 2-part epoxy primer for the patch to bond to.
That's not in any way economically feasible.

Epoxy makes me want to gag.
We did that same sorta thing a couple years ago at a local maritime and history museum. The rep said their epoxy would control moisture on a 3 day old concrete pour.
Products were made by UZIN. First coat went over the concrete that I surfaced with a grinder. It was poured on and I troweled it, then he back-rolled it.
The second coat went on the next day, but time time he added 2 bottles of "accelerator" (in addition to the catalyst) into the bucket.
This coat used a much smaller trowel notch, then he quickly back rolled it.
Then we broadcast the sand and waited 1 1/2 hours.
We swept and vacuumed, then immediately went into the pouring. The UZIN products are amazing. The area we leveled was jut 10 feet by 13 feet. I liked the sand as a bonding agent for the epoxy but on a large pour, I can imaging it being a PITA, but still worth the effort.
... I thought the UZIN system was very good and a user friendly product.
The school was built 12 years ago. First they had a failure of the original VCT due to moisture. That floor was torn out and replaced with new VCT and that subsequently failed.
This wont fail.
This wont fail.
