00:00:11,878 --> 00:00:13,179
Hello and welcome to another episode
2
00:00:13,179 --> 00:00:14,481
of On the Floor with Wayne and Rob.
3
00:00:14,481 --> 00:00:15,281
I'm Wayne Highlander,
4
00:00:15,281 --> 00:00:17,817
director of sales for Bona Adhesives.
5
00:00:17,817 --> 00:00:20,253
And I'm Rob Johnson from Bona Training.
6
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:22,922
Rob, it's been a long time.
7
00:00:22,922 --> 00:00:23,356
Mate.
8
00:00:23,356 --> 00:00:25,525
You know what?
9
00:00:25,525 --> 00:00:27,560
That was one of your best openings ever.
10
00:00:27,594 --> 00:00:29,396
You say that break was good
11
00:00:29,396 --> 00:00:30,930
for all of us so far.
12
00:00:30,930 --> 00:00:32,766
I think it was my very best one.
13
00:00:32,766 --> 00:00:33,933
You killed it?
14
00:00:33,933 --> 00:00:36,603
Yeah, absolutely killed it.
15
00:00:36,603 --> 00:00:38,371
It was.
16
00:00:38,405 --> 00:00:41,641
It's crazy.
17
00:00:41,641 --> 00:00:42,108
Yeah.
18
00:00:42,108 --> 00:00:43,877
We had a little bit of a break
19
00:00:43,877 --> 00:00:45,979
for the first time ever,
20
00:00:46,046 --> 00:00:50,350
and, you know, I was on break.
21
00:00:51,017 --> 00:00:51,484
I was,
22
00:00:51,484 --> 00:00:54,487
you know, you didn't read your reviews
23
00:00:55,455 --> 00:00:57,424
and I wasn't intending to.
24
00:00:57,424 --> 00:00:58,158
I just
25
00:00:58,158 --> 00:00:59,893
scrolling through a Facebook site
26
00:00:59,893 --> 00:01:03,096
and somebody goes, gosh, what podcasts
27
00:01:03,096 --> 00:01:04,898
you guys listening to right now?
28
00:01:06,399 --> 00:01:08,735
What access
29
00:01:09,702 --> 00:01:11,504
on the floor with Wayne and Rob,
30
00:01:11,504 --> 00:01:13,406
the other guy, he goes,
31
00:01:13,406 --> 00:01:15,375
Yeah, I try to listen to them,
32
00:01:15,375 --> 00:01:17,377
but I turn it on.
33
00:01:17,377 --> 00:01:18,278
It is two boomers
34
00:01:18,278 --> 00:01:20,313
talking about their musical tastes.
35
00:01:21,648 --> 00:01:23,950
And so he was out real quick.
36
00:01:24,884 --> 00:01:25,985
That guy.
37
00:01:25,985 --> 00:01:28,121
Yeah, well, you know, he came back.
38
00:01:28,254 --> 00:01:30,256
He might have said that, but,
39
00:01:30,256 --> 00:01:32,225
you know, he's a closet listener.
40
00:01:32,225 --> 00:01:34,260
Maybe I'd say he.
41
00:01:34,260 --> 00:01:36,396
Doesn't like our music reviews.
42
00:01:36,663 --> 00:01:37,430
Mm hmm.
43
00:01:37,597 --> 00:01:40,366
Wait till he hears
44
00:01:40,366 --> 00:01:43,503
our reviews and our what we think
45
00:01:43,503 --> 00:01:45,472
is our favorite Elvis movies
46
00:01:45,472 --> 00:01:47,807
that we'll do at the end of this show.
47
00:01:47,807 --> 00:01:49,209
You now, just.
48
00:01:49,209 --> 00:01:50,610
Just so we don't lose everybody.
49
00:01:50,610 --> 00:01:52,178
We won't do that.
50
00:01:52,178 --> 00:01:55,482
But I want to tell you something,
51
00:01:55,515 --> 00:01:58,685
and I feel very comfortable saying this.
52
00:01:58,685 --> 00:02:00,220
Elvis Presley was the best
53
00:02:00,220 --> 00:02:01,321
looking man that's ever lived.
54
00:02:02,889 --> 00:02:04,524
No question.
55
00:02:05,058 --> 00:02:07,927
Look, look, look at Elvis Presley.
56
00:02:07,927 --> 00:02:10,530
And then look at yourself in the mirror.
57
00:02:10,830 --> 00:02:11,397
You look like.
58
00:02:11,397 --> 00:02:12,699
A pig
59
00:02:14,334 --> 00:02:16,603
compared to Elvis Presley.
60
00:02:17,070 --> 00:02:18,438
Me personally.
61
00:02:18,438 --> 00:02:20,907
No, you and me,
62
00:02:20,907 --> 00:02:21,808
many of us.
63
00:02:21,808 --> 00:02:23,710
Why do you say you?
64
00:02:23,710 --> 00:02:25,278
Well, said you.
65
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:26,479
You should.
66
00:02:26,479 --> 00:02:28,681
We should have said we.
67
00:02:28,982 --> 00:02:30,450
Yeah, yeah. We would have been.
68
00:02:30,450 --> 00:02:31,684
We would have been nice.
69
00:02:31,684 --> 00:02:32,785
Probably loved you.
70
00:02:32,785 --> 00:02:34,020
Yeah, you know.
71
00:02:34,020 --> 00:02:35,522
Well, I. Listen.
72
00:02:35,522 --> 00:02:37,290
Look, I know I got to lose weight.
73
00:02:37,290 --> 00:02:39,292
No, it's not you. I know that.
74
00:02:39,292 --> 00:02:40,360
I know that.
75
00:02:40,660 --> 00:02:42,228
You don't have to lose weight.
76
00:02:42,228 --> 00:02:48,801
I wouldn't like you if you lost weight.
77
00:02:48,801 --> 00:02:52,672
I'd probably just be jealous of you.
78
00:02:52,672 --> 00:02:54,641
Oh, that's your one thing you got on me.
79
00:02:54,641 --> 00:02:56,643
Well, at.
80
00:02:56,643 --> 00:02:59,078
Least my pants are smaller than his.
81
00:02:59,078 --> 00:03:01,915
Yeah. Okay.
82
00:03:01,915 --> 00:03:06,085
So anyhow, but what it tells me is.
83
00:03:06,085 --> 00:03:06,486
All right,
84
00:03:06,486 --> 00:03:07,320
so maybe, you know,
85
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,488
we got a lot of younger
86
00:03:08,488 --> 00:03:09,455
listeners, you know?
87
00:03:09,455 --> 00:03:10,123
I mean, let's face
88
00:03:10,123 --> 00:03:11,057
it, we're on the older
89
00:03:11,057 --> 00:03:13,026
spectrum of the scale.
90
00:03:13,026 --> 00:03:16,062
So I need you to kind of you know,
91
00:03:17,430 --> 00:03:18,264
trim down in your
92
00:03:18,264 --> 00:03:18,898
in your
93
00:03:18,898 --> 00:03:21,000
in your age, like, you know what I mean?
94
00:03:22,168 --> 00:03:23,102
I'm 61.
95
00:03:23,102 --> 00:03:25,171
There's not a lot of changes
96
00:03:25,171 --> 00:03:27,140
going to be made now.
97
00:03:27,140 --> 00:03:30,009
I think a lot of that is time sale.
98
00:03:30,410 --> 00:03:30,944
You can't be
99
00:03:30,944 --> 00:03:31,778
you can't get
100
00:03:31,778 --> 00:03:33,646
any younger for our demographic.
101
00:03:33,646 --> 00:03:34,447
I you know
102
00:03:34,447 --> 00:03:36,683
I always thought I was very young.
103
00:03:36,683 --> 00:03:37,884
I actually think you are very
104
00:03:37,884 --> 00:03:39,085
young at heart.
105
00:03:39,452 --> 00:03:40,920
I think you are.
106
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:41,854
Thank you.
107
00:03:41,921 --> 00:03:43,323
Yeah, but you know you do.
108
00:03:43,323 --> 00:03:44,924
I would never thing you know,
109
00:03:44,924 --> 00:03:46,326
I'm telling you,
110
00:03:46,326 --> 00:03:47,560
for a 70 year old dude,
111
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:48,194
you're
112
00:03:48,194 --> 00:03:51,431
you're getting you're getting it done.
113
00:03:51,431 --> 00:03:53,166
I'll tell you what
114
00:03:54,067 --> 00:03:54,601
do you feel?
115
00:03:54,601 --> 00:03:56,202
What do you. 60.
116
00:03:57,170 --> 00:03:59,038
61.
117
00:03:59,639 --> 00:04:02,875
Wow.
118
00:04:02,875 --> 00:04:05,812
425 between us.
119
00:04:05,812 --> 00:04:07,614
How old are. You? 124.
120
00:04:07,614 --> 00:04:09,349
I'm 63.
121
00:04:09,349 --> 00:04:09,949
Oh, I know.
122
00:04:09,949 --> 00:04:12,151
Shocking, isn't it? Yeah.
123
00:04:12,719 --> 00:04:14,721
You know what, I, I, the other day
124
00:04:15,555 --> 00:04:16,489
I was at a sales meeting
125
00:04:16,489 --> 00:04:17,757
and there were some younger guys there
126
00:04:17,757 --> 00:04:19,892
and, you know, we're, you know,
127
00:04:19,892 --> 00:04:20,593
getting together
128
00:04:20,593 --> 00:04:22,095
and what have you, which means, you know,
129
00:04:22,095 --> 00:04:23,429
a few drinks.
130
00:04:23,630 --> 00:04:25,765
And I said, look, man, I'll drop down,
131
00:04:25,765 --> 00:04:28,134
do pushups right now then anyway.
132
00:04:28,167 --> 00:04:30,036
Oh, boy.
133
00:04:30,036 --> 00:04:30,637
Open the guy
134
00:04:30,637 --> 00:04:32,605
that nobody would take me up on them
135
00:04:32,605 --> 00:04:34,440
and and nobody did.
136
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:35,441
But just the other day,
137
00:04:35,441 --> 00:04:36,409
like a couple of days ago,
138
00:04:36,409 --> 00:04:37,877
I thought to myself.
139
00:04:37,877 --> 00:04:38,444
Oh.
140
00:04:38,444 --> 00:04:38,978
Oh, I'm
141
00:04:38,978 --> 00:04:40,480
feeling like I'm pretty easy shape.
142
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:41,314
I wonder how many pushups
143
00:04:41,314 --> 00:04:44,851
I could really do.
144
00:04:44,851 --> 00:04:47,287
Okay, it's not good.
145
00:04:47,287 --> 00:04:48,454
So where are you doing?
146
00:04:48,454 --> 00:04:49,522
A regular pushup.
147
00:04:49,522 --> 00:04:50,490
Are you doing the old man?
148
00:04:50,490 --> 00:04:51,824
Push up on your knees.
149
00:04:51,824 --> 00:04:53,359
Oh, get out of here. You can't.
150
00:04:53,359 --> 00:04:55,361
Okay, just.
151
00:04:55,361 --> 00:04:56,763
Oh, my gosh.
152
00:04:56,763 --> 00:04:58,998
You ain't that old. No. Oh,
153
00:05:00,066 --> 00:05:01,534
you were born in 59.
154
00:05:01,534 --> 00:05:06,039
67, July 15th.
155
00:05:06,039 --> 00:05:07,974
You know, if anybody wants to.
156
00:05:07,974 --> 00:05:08,808
Say, yeah, okay,
157
00:05:08,808 --> 00:05:10,610
now I see it because Pauline.
158
00:05:10,610 --> 00:05:11,844
The fishing presents.
159
00:05:11,844 --> 00:05:15,381
Pauline 63 right now she'll be 64
160
00:05:15,682 --> 00:05:16,916
next month.
161
00:05:16,916 --> 00:05:17,850
Okay.
162
00:05:17,850 --> 00:05:19,652
So she was born in 59.
163
00:05:19,652 --> 00:05:21,054
Yeah, that would make sense.
164
00:05:21,054 --> 00:05:21,654
Yeah.
165
00:05:21,654 --> 00:05:23,222
Okay, now I get the,
166
00:05:23,222 --> 00:05:24,490
I get the math right.
167
00:05:24,490 --> 00:05:25,692
Right before the show,
168
00:05:25,692 --> 00:05:27,293
like literally half hour ago
169
00:05:27,293 --> 00:05:29,696
now, I got stung on the neck by a wasp.
170
00:05:31,331 --> 00:05:32,899
Really? Yeah.
171
00:05:32,899 --> 00:05:33,333
Mm hmm.
172
00:05:33,333 --> 00:05:35,635
If. If you get woozy.
173
00:05:35,635 --> 00:05:36,336
Yeah.
174
00:05:36,536 --> 00:05:38,671
You go down. Yeah, yeah.
175
00:05:38,705 --> 00:05:40,206
You know, it's that. Yeah.
176
00:05:40,206 --> 00:05:43,109
Chris, keep your eye on them.
177
00:05:43,109 --> 00:05:45,144
Okay, so we're going to try to look.
178
00:05:45,244 --> 00:05:46,312
Oh, wait a minute. One more thing.
179
00:05:46,312 --> 00:05:47,914
I want to talk about this
180
00:05:47,914 --> 00:05:49,382
sales meeting you were at.
181
00:05:49,382 --> 00:05:52,318
Yep.
182
00:05:52,318 --> 00:05:53,252
Issued a little pool.
183
00:05:53,252 --> 00:05:56,222
I heard. May I get it?
184
00:05:56,222 --> 00:05:57,824
Gets out quick, doesn't it.
185
00:05:57,824 --> 00:05:59,992
Yeah, I did. Yeah.
186
00:05:59,992 --> 00:06:01,027
Listen, I'm
187
00:06:01,027 --> 00:06:02,295
going to give you a little advice
188
00:06:02,295 --> 00:06:03,062
and you should know
189
00:06:03,062 --> 00:06:04,764
I'm surprised you didn't know
190
00:06:04,764 --> 00:06:05,865
you never shoot pool
191
00:06:05,865 --> 00:06:08,167
with a guy who's in the service. Never.
192
00:06:08,835 --> 00:06:10,970
Oh, my gosh. First of all,
193
00:06:12,372 --> 00:06:13,473
he went.
194
00:06:13,473 --> 00:06:15,041
It was 2 to 2 tied.
195
00:06:15,041 --> 00:06:17,076
Okay. Uh.
196
00:06:17,076 --> 00:06:18,010
I'm going to give him.
197
00:06:18,010 --> 00:06:19,178
That was 2 to 2 today.
198
00:06:19,178 --> 00:06:20,747
He really should have won.
199
00:06:20,747 --> 00:06:22,281
Just didn't count.
200
00:06:22,281 --> 00:06:22,982
He should have lost.
201
00:06:22,982 --> 00:06:24,984
That's okay. I'm not complaining.
202
00:06:24,984 --> 00:06:26,652
But it was 2 to 2 tied and he.
203
00:06:26,652 --> 00:06:28,087
And he won on the last game.
204
00:06:28,087 --> 00:06:29,422
Three, two, two.
205
00:06:29,522 --> 00:06:31,124
I would go against him any time.
206
00:06:31,124 --> 00:06:32,658
Anywhere, any place.
207
00:06:32,658 --> 00:06:34,060
Oh, boy. Really?
208
00:06:34,060 --> 00:06:35,762
Yeah, please.
209
00:06:35,762 --> 00:06:37,497
He got lucky.
210
00:06:37,497 --> 00:06:37,930
I.
211
00:06:38,264 --> 00:06:39,999
I have no problem with that.
212
00:06:39,999 --> 00:06:42,402
Oh, well, you're
213
00:06:42,402 --> 00:06:43,736
kind of an army brat, too.
214
00:06:43,736 --> 00:06:45,905
So you grew up time with a pool table?
215
00:06:45,905 --> 00:06:48,274
I played pool growing up
216
00:06:48,274 --> 00:06:50,510
more than I'd like to admit.
217
00:06:50,510 --> 00:06:52,578
So, yeah, I'm not saying I'm
218
00:06:52,578 --> 00:06:53,312
any good, though.
219
00:06:53,312 --> 00:06:54,013
Don't get me wrong.
220
00:06:54,013 --> 00:06:55,681
I'm not saying I'm a good pool player.
221
00:06:55,681 --> 00:06:58,117
I'm just better than him. So how was D
222
00:06:59,352 --> 00:06:59,585
it?
223
00:06:59,585 --> 00:07:00,720
Okay. All right.
224
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,622
Okay. Yeah, he's not all right.
225
00:07:02,622 --> 00:07:04,524
He's been a little dance involved.
226
00:07:04,524 --> 00:07:05,625
I heard there's a little dancing
227
00:07:05,625 --> 00:07:07,960
involved. Uh, no, a little too.
228
00:07:08,227 --> 00:07:09,395
Little trash talking.
229
00:07:09,395 --> 00:07:10,563
So little.
230
00:07:10,563 --> 00:07:12,732
Yeah, or dancing around with your money.
231
00:07:12,732 --> 00:07:14,734
Mm hmm. That's okay.
232
00:07:14,734 --> 00:07:16,636
Oh, yeah.
233
00:07:16,636 --> 00:07:19,672
How did you finally buy a pool table?
234
00:07:19,672 --> 00:07:21,641
So for the house. So.
235
00:07:21,641 --> 00:07:23,876
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
236
00:07:23,876 --> 00:07:24,811
But I want one.
237
00:07:24,811 --> 00:07:25,511
I'm not a big.
238
00:07:25,511 --> 00:07:27,547
I don't. I'm not a big pool player.
239
00:07:28,281 --> 00:07:28,881
Mm hmm.
240
00:07:28,981 --> 00:07:31,350
Yeah.
241
00:07:31,350 --> 00:07:32,452
Okay.
242
00:07:32,919 --> 00:07:33,953
You know,
243
00:07:35,221 --> 00:07:36,722
we talk about productivity today
244
00:07:36,722 --> 00:07:38,090
and some of the
245
00:07:38,090 --> 00:07:39,926
things that are available today.
246
00:07:39,926 --> 00:07:43,062
And, you know, we talk about,
247
00:07:43,062 --> 00:07:44,931
you know, it's hard to find people, it's
248
00:07:44,931 --> 00:07:46,032
hard to hire people
249
00:07:46,032 --> 00:07:47,366
and this and the other.
250
00:07:47,366 --> 00:07:47,834
But yeah,
251
00:07:47,834 --> 00:07:49,936
I started thinking,
252
00:07:49,936 --> 00:07:51,270
look at some of the advantages
253
00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:52,772
that are out there today, that
254
00:07:52,772 --> 00:07:54,240
weren't out there years ago
255
00:07:55,341 --> 00:07:57,443
and how you can make time on a job.
256
00:07:58,277 --> 00:07:59,312
You can absolutely make up
257
00:07:59,312 --> 00:08:00,780
a lot of time on a on a job
258
00:08:00,780 --> 00:08:02,482
where you couldn't years ago,
259
00:08:02,482 --> 00:08:03,816
just the act of
260
00:08:03,816 --> 00:08:06,886
staining a floor years ago compared today
261
00:08:07,787 --> 00:08:13,192
and the everything that went into that,
262
00:08:13,192 --> 00:08:14,327
you know,
263
00:08:15,127 --> 00:08:17,463
on your hands and knees with with towels
264
00:08:17,597 --> 00:08:20,666
wiping off Lebanon water popping we well
265
00:08:20,666 --> 00:08:22,168
water pumped with a sponge on
266
00:08:22,168 --> 00:08:23,736
or on our hands.
267
00:08:23,736 --> 00:08:25,771
And these guys are never do that anymore.
268
00:08:25,771 --> 00:08:28,741
I don't think they do.
269
00:08:28,741 --> 00:08:30,376
The stains took
270
00:08:30,376 --> 00:08:33,279
forever today to dry back in those days
271
00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:34,447
so you can make up.
272
00:08:34,447 --> 00:08:35,114
There's a lot of ways
273
00:08:35,114 --> 00:08:37,283
you can make up time and make up money
274
00:08:37,917 --> 00:08:40,186
with today's technology.
275
00:08:40,186 --> 00:08:43,155
I think the old stains too.
276
00:08:43,155 --> 00:08:44,957
I always thought they were tough to work
277
00:08:44,957 --> 00:08:45,491
with.
278
00:08:46,125 --> 00:08:46,626
Like if
279
00:08:46,626 --> 00:08:48,127
if you had left the stain
280
00:08:48,127 --> 00:08:50,463
rag on the floor for,
281
00:08:50,463 --> 00:08:52,231
you know, just to go get another stain
282
00:08:52,231 --> 00:08:54,200
rag and come back and start
283
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,302
it was a son of a gun to
284
00:08:56,302 --> 00:08:57,603
to get that spot out of it.
285
00:08:57,603 --> 00:08:59,539
It seemed like they just
286
00:08:59,539 --> 00:09:00,806
penetrated more
287
00:09:00,806 --> 00:09:02,775
and they were definitely more finicky.
288
00:09:02,775 --> 00:09:05,011
And I don't know if it was we just didn't
289
00:09:06,012 --> 00:09:07,213
know as much as we
290
00:09:07,213 --> 00:09:08,347
know now about,
291
00:09:08,347 --> 00:09:09,649
you know, burnishing of floor
292
00:09:09,649 --> 00:09:11,017
and water popping.
293
00:09:11,017 --> 00:09:13,352
Yeah, but it just seemed like the stains
294
00:09:15,187 --> 00:09:17,189
back in the eighties were
295
00:09:17,189 --> 00:09:19,892
a lot tougher to work with, I think.
296
00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:22,094
Yeah, I agree with that.
297
00:09:22,094 --> 00:09:22,562
Somewhere where
298
00:09:22,562 --> 00:09:23,930
the thick as molasses to
299
00:09:23,930 --> 00:09:26,432
it seemed like and hard to move
300
00:09:26,432 --> 00:09:28,467
and you know even for that
301
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:29,735
the sanding process
302
00:09:29,735 --> 00:09:31,237
even before we had screens
303
00:09:31,237 --> 00:09:32,638
we used to finish everything with off
304
00:09:32,638 --> 00:09:33,806
with 80 grit
305
00:09:33,806 --> 00:09:36,809
so we didn't change our paper
306
00:09:36,809 --> 00:09:38,744
quite often to make it uniform.
307
00:09:38,744 --> 00:09:40,880
But then going across that floor,
308
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,116
it was even that was just a lot more work
309
00:09:44,116 --> 00:09:45,318
edging the floor.
310
00:09:45,318 --> 00:09:47,386
Everybody that I knew back in those days,
311
00:09:47,386 --> 00:09:49,488
we would use a joke style of edging.
312
00:09:49,488 --> 00:09:50,756
No, I'm talking about.
313
00:09:50,756 --> 00:09:52,058
Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.
314
00:09:52,058 --> 00:09:53,459
I know what you're talking about. Yeah.
315
00:09:55,261 --> 00:09:57,763
So now the staining techniques
316
00:09:57,763 --> 00:09:59,031
along with the
317
00:09:59,031 --> 00:10:00,032
the rotary cylinders
318
00:10:00,032 --> 00:10:00,566
that are out there,
319
00:10:00,566 --> 00:10:02,702
like a fast tool on the right setting.
320
00:10:03,135 --> 00:10:04,170
Holy smokes.
321
00:10:04,170 --> 00:10:06,505
They make such easy work
322
00:10:06,505 --> 00:10:08,007
out of what was a big time
323
00:10:08,007 --> 00:10:10,042
chore back in the old days.
324
00:10:10,042 --> 00:10:13,012
So you can make up a lot of time,
325
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,314
put the tools and techniques
326
00:10:15,314 --> 00:10:16,515
that of today
327
00:10:16,515 --> 00:10:18,918
that we didn't have years ago.
328
00:10:18,918 --> 00:10:21,120
So I think there are some advantages
329
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,556
right now. It's great.
330
00:10:23,556 --> 00:10:24,757
You know, we just
331
00:10:24,757 --> 00:10:25,725
we just
332
00:10:25,825 --> 00:10:27,126
like literally wrapped up
333
00:10:27,126 --> 00:10:29,161
an intermediate school
334
00:10:29,161 --> 00:10:30,730
today and and drove home
335
00:10:30,730 --> 00:10:32,198
to get onto the podcast.
336
00:10:32,198 --> 00:10:33,299
And
337
00:10:34,133 --> 00:10:36,335
DETMER came out, Mr.
338
00:10:36,335 --> 00:10:39,438
Michael DETMER came out and, you know,
339
00:10:39,538 --> 00:10:42,341
he led the install portion of the class,
340
00:10:43,009 --> 00:10:45,411
but he brought his best tools with us.
341
00:10:45,411 --> 00:10:46,746
And I know we've talked
342
00:10:46,746 --> 00:10:48,147
about Fast Tool and
343
00:10:49,348 --> 00:10:50,383
I know there's a lot of
344
00:10:50,383 --> 00:10:51,817
guys out there who have them.
345
00:10:51,817 --> 00:10:52,485
But
346
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:57,023
every time I see a first tool
347
00:10:58,391 --> 00:10:59,425
cut medallions
348
00:10:59,425 --> 00:11:01,560
and I mean, I didn't know that.
349
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:03,562
Now the router goes on the track
350
00:11:03,996 --> 00:11:05,698
and you can router out,
351
00:11:05,698 --> 00:11:07,700
you know, inlays and all sorts of stuff.
352
00:11:07,700 --> 00:11:09,902
It's that first tool really is.
353
00:11:11,037 --> 00:11:11,270
An.
354
00:11:11,270 --> 00:11:13,239
Amazing piece of equipment I.
355
00:11:13,239 --> 00:11:14,006
Think about.
356
00:11:14,006 --> 00:11:15,741
I'm glad you brought the festival up
357
00:11:15,741 --> 00:11:17,610
because think about the time, you know,
358
00:11:17,610 --> 00:11:18,144
there was a time
359
00:11:18,144 --> 00:11:19,178
we didn't have a festival.
360
00:11:19,178 --> 00:11:19,712
I mean,
361
00:11:20,012 --> 00:11:20,513
you know, remember,
362
00:11:20,513 --> 00:11:22,415
but nobody had festival, you know,
363
00:11:22,415 --> 00:11:26,519
when no one had the the find undercut
364
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:27,887
gives us
365
00:11:27,887 --> 00:11:30,122
the kind of they've made our life easier.
366
00:11:30,823 --> 00:11:35,127
You can make up probably 30% time today
367
00:11:35,127 --> 00:11:36,095
over what you could do
368
00:11:36,095 --> 00:11:37,129
years ago
369
00:11:37,129 --> 00:11:38,664
easily on a job
370
00:11:38,664 --> 00:11:40,199
just by tools and techniques.
371
00:11:40,199 --> 00:11:43,569
Excuse me.
372
00:11:43,569 --> 00:11:44,370
Right. Came from
373
00:11:46,172 --> 00:11:47,239
probably that WASP is
374
00:11:47,239 --> 00:11:48,808
getting my blood stream now.
375
00:11:48,808 --> 00:11:50,109
That's it. Yeah.
376
00:11:50,109 --> 00:11:52,511
Everything's starting to swell up.
377
00:11:52,511 --> 00:11:54,547
Well, this be good to be on live TV.
378
00:11:54,547 --> 00:11:55,981
There you go.
379
00:11:55,981 --> 00:11:57,249
Outside one of these days,
380
00:11:57,249 --> 00:11:58,651
one of those live TV things,
381
00:11:58,651 --> 00:12:00,019
someone's going to die
382
00:12:00,019 --> 00:12:01,454
is going to happen.
383
00:12:01,454 --> 00:12:03,189
You ever watch Alone
384
00:12:04,023 --> 00:12:06,325
in Alaskan Wilderness?
385
00:12:06,325 --> 00:12:07,460
In the last
386
00:12:07,460 --> 00:12:08,461
the last person
387
00:12:08,461 --> 00:12:09,795
that survives,
388
00:12:09,795 --> 00:12:12,131
it's a half million dollars
389
00:12:12,264 --> 00:12:13,833
real. Oh, I haven't seen that one.
390
00:12:13,833 --> 00:12:15,034
No, that's new.
391
00:12:15,034 --> 00:12:16,268
Yeah, I love.
392
00:12:16,268 --> 00:12:17,036
I mean, what do you mean, the.
393
00:12:17,036 --> 00:12:18,270
Last person that survive
394
00:12:18,270 --> 00:12:20,005
or people dying during this? No, no, no.
395
00:12:20,005 --> 00:12:21,841
That survives the ordeal.
396
00:12:21,841 --> 00:12:23,943
I mean, you know, so you don't know.
397
00:12:25,177 --> 00:12:26,479
I think there's like ten people, like,
398
00:12:26,479 --> 00:12:28,214
get dropped off in the wilderness then.
399
00:12:28,214 --> 00:12:29,982
This was British Columbia, I think.
400
00:12:29,982 --> 00:12:30,449
No, I mean,
401
00:12:32,151 --> 00:12:33,452
yeah, British Columbia.
402
00:12:33,452 --> 00:12:36,789
So you don't know how many people are
403
00:12:36,789 --> 00:12:37,289
staying in
404
00:12:37,289 --> 00:12:38,424
how many people are dropping out.
405
00:12:38,424 --> 00:12:39,225
Know you have only
406
00:12:39,225 --> 00:12:41,093
you have a few survival tools,
407
00:12:41,093 --> 00:12:42,394
but you got to fish and hunt
408
00:12:42,394 --> 00:12:44,130
and everything to survive
409
00:12:44,130 --> 00:12:46,365
and you know, there's bears,
410
00:12:46,365 --> 00:12:48,234
there's all kinds of bears out there.
411
00:12:48,234 --> 00:12:48,901
One of these days,
412
00:12:48,901 --> 00:12:49,835
somebody is going to get eaten
413
00:12:49,835 --> 00:12:51,570
by a bear, a cheetah or
414
00:12:51,570 --> 00:12:53,172
or wrapped up with
415
00:12:53,172 --> 00:12:56,275
a kind of snake and die.
416
00:12:56,275 --> 00:12:58,010
And you're going to be watching it.
417
00:12:58,010 --> 00:12:59,779
Probably you'll be the.
418
00:12:59,779 --> 00:13:01,647
You'll be the lucky one.
419
00:13:01,647 --> 00:13:02,748
Getting to watch that.
420
00:13:02,748 --> 00:13:03,482
Yeah.
421
00:13:04,250 --> 00:13:08,053
Remember, remember the crocodile man.
422
00:13:08,053 --> 00:13:09,989
Whatever it was the the the the guy.
423
00:13:09,989 --> 00:13:12,158
Yeah. Australia University.
424
00:13:12,191 --> 00:13:14,193
Yeah.
425
00:13:14,193 --> 00:13:16,829
Oh, Steve's something. Yeah, yeah.
426
00:13:16,862 --> 00:13:18,164
The crocodile. Guy.
427
00:13:18,164 --> 00:13:20,199
He died, but by some sissy animal
428
00:13:20,733 --> 00:13:22,468
that a crocodile
429
00:13:22,468 --> 00:13:23,469
is like a blowfish
430
00:13:23,469 --> 00:13:25,538
or something, you know, in the Oh.
431
00:13:25,538 --> 00:13:26,605
Sissy animal.
432
00:13:26,605 --> 00:13:29,041
It was a it was a a ray.
433
00:13:29,875 --> 00:13:31,110
A stingray.
434
00:13:31,110 --> 00:13:32,278
Still get stung
435
00:13:32,278 --> 00:13:34,880
by a stingray right in the chest. Yeah.
436
00:13:36,182 --> 00:13:37,016
Come on.
437
00:13:37,683 --> 00:13:38,551
Come
438
00:13:39,218 --> 00:13:39,819
here.
439
00:13:40,653 --> 00:13:41,720
You're tough, man.
440
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,489
You really do live by that. She.
441
00:13:43,489 --> 00:13:44,123
You know why?
442
00:13:44,123 --> 00:13:46,091
I don't care what she think.
443
00:13:46,091 --> 00:13:48,294
You're lying to me.
444
00:13:48,294 --> 00:13:48,861
All his life,
445
00:13:48,861 --> 00:13:50,863
he was around alligators or
446
00:13:50,863 --> 00:13:51,931
crocodiles where they were.
447
00:13:51,931 --> 00:13:55,267
And then he dies by a stingray.
448
00:13:55,267 --> 00:13:56,836
It's just a little strange.
449
00:13:56,836 --> 00:13:58,604
Look, man, when you enter the water,
450
00:13:58,604 --> 00:14:00,706
you are. You're out.
451
00:14:00,873 --> 00:14:01,974
Oh, I'm definitely don't.
452
00:14:01,974 --> 00:14:03,542
Care how good you can swim.
453
00:14:03,542 --> 00:14:06,045
Yeah, when you're in the water,
454
00:14:06,045 --> 00:14:08,147
forget about it, okay?
455
00:14:08,147 --> 00:14:10,349
Forget about it. Yeah.
456
00:14:10,349 --> 00:14:11,617
I kind of agree with you.
457
00:14:11,617 --> 00:14:14,019
For a guy like him,
458
00:14:14,019 --> 00:14:15,454
you thought he was going to be taken down
459
00:14:15,454 --> 00:14:17,523
by a shark or something like that?
460
00:14:17,523 --> 00:14:19,258
Alligator. Crocodile. Yeah.
461
00:14:19,258 --> 00:14:21,360
But the stingray.
462
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:22,061
Yeah, but.
463
00:14:22,061 --> 00:14:22,962
Those are
464
00:14:22,962 --> 00:14:24,430
sometimes those things can get pretty
465
00:14:24,430 --> 00:14:26,866
damn big time. Yeah.
466
00:14:26,866 --> 00:14:27,833
I feel like somehow
467
00:14:27,833 --> 00:14:28,767
I could have avoided that.
468
00:14:28,767 --> 00:14:30,069
Yeah. I see you.
469
00:14:30,069 --> 00:14:31,837
I see what's going on in your head.
470
00:14:31,837 --> 00:14:33,772
Yeah, I wouldn't have done that
471
00:14:33,772 --> 00:14:35,007
to the Islander.
472
00:14:35,007 --> 00:14:36,542
I see the ray coming at me in the chest.
473
00:14:36,542 --> 00:14:37,576
I grab it with this arm,
474
00:14:37,576 --> 00:14:41,747
moving it over, grab it by the tail.
475
00:14:41,747 --> 00:14:44,250
Pull over. My knee speaking.
476
00:14:44,250 --> 00:14:45,184
To the same guy.
477
00:14:45,184 --> 00:14:45,885
You're the same guy
478
00:14:45,885 --> 00:14:47,720
who punches the great white in the nose
479
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,288
when he comes, right? I just.
480
00:14:49,288 --> 00:14:51,390
Mm hmm. Okay.
481
00:14:51,790 --> 00:14:54,426
So even even the fine tool
482
00:14:54,693 --> 00:14:56,161
and I know
483
00:14:56,161 --> 00:14:56,328
are some
484
00:14:56,328 --> 00:14:58,163
different different types of products
485
00:14:58,163 --> 00:14:59,431
do the same thing.
486
00:14:59,431 --> 00:15:01,667
We used to use the Chinese back saw
487
00:15:01,667 --> 00:15:03,602
and I still see
488
00:15:03,602 --> 00:15:04,904
is the most accurate way to
489
00:15:04,904 --> 00:15:07,139
you could do a undercut a door jam
490
00:15:07,406 --> 00:15:09,775
I think there are spectacular tools but
491
00:15:10,442 --> 00:15:12,678
what for doing inside corners
492
00:15:13,212 --> 00:15:15,614
the feints are or tools like that.
493
00:15:15,614 --> 00:15:16,582
Oh my gosh man.
494
00:15:16,582 --> 00:15:18,350
The amount of time you can save on with
495
00:15:18,350 --> 00:15:20,519
the tools like that is unreal.
496
00:15:20,519 --> 00:15:22,855
I mean, you remember when you were young.
497
00:15:22,855 --> 00:15:24,990
I mean, really young, right?
498
00:15:24,990 --> 00:15:25,324
Yeah.
499
00:15:25,324 --> 00:15:27,326
And you use using
500
00:15:27,326 --> 00:15:29,762
digging out a patch, using a chisel.
501
00:15:29,762 --> 00:15:31,697
Yeah. They do self-manage.
502
00:15:31,697 --> 00:15:32,798
There is only something
503
00:15:32,798 --> 00:15:34,366
that would just go straight down.
504
00:15:34,366 --> 00:15:36,402
Yes, yes, yeah, yeah.
505
00:15:36,702 --> 00:15:38,037
Like, well, eliminate that.
506
00:15:38,037 --> 00:15:39,538
Yeah, that's impossible.
507
00:15:39,538 --> 00:15:41,040
They can't do that.
508
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,508
And you see the old timers
509
00:15:42,508 --> 00:15:44,243
really taking care of the chisels,
510
00:15:44,243 --> 00:15:46,078
wrapping them up in cloth and putting in,
511
00:15:46,078 --> 00:15:46,912
you know.
512
00:15:47,146 --> 00:15:48,948
Come on, me, it's unnecessary.
513
00:15:48,948 --> 00:15:50,883
Now, you know.
514
00:15:50,883 --> 00:15:52,017
We just use
515
00:15:52,017 --> 00:15:53,953
the blades and throw them away.
516
00:15:53,953 --> 00:15:55,287
Although I saw a guy the other day
517
00:15:55,287 --> 00:15:56,956
had a good idea
518
00:15:56,956 --> 00:15:59,525
for putting expansion in a floor
519
00:15:59,525 --> 00:16:01,393
using those blades
520
00:16:01,393 --> 00:16:03,562
like we used to use washers for.
521
00:16:03,963 --> 00:16:04,897
For expansion.
522
00:16:04,897 --> 00:16:06,532
That was a good idea, whoever that was.
523
00:16:07,566 --> 00:16:08,734
But yeah.
524
00:16:08,734 --> 00:16:09,001
Do you
525
00:16:09,001 --> 00:16:11,670
remember how expensive those blades were?
526
00:16:12,237 --> 00:16:13,339
Yes. Great.
527
00:16:13,339 --> 00:16:14,940
Well, when you
528
00:16:14,940 --> 00:16:16,108
when they first got
529
00:16:16,108 --> 00:16:17,343
when everybody started,
530
00:16:17,343 --> 00:16:18,711
you know, oh, the fine tool.
531
00:16:18,711 --> 00:16:19,812
I remember the first time I saw
532
00:16:19,812 --> 00:16:23,282
I was in the BFA school and I borrowed it
533
00:16:23,282 --> 00:16:25,951
about seven times and stick by, Hey,
534
00:16:26,518 --> 00:16:27,486
you don't have to borrow this.
535
00:16:27,486 --> 00:16:28,320
I'll send it back to
536
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,022
I got something my neighbors do,
537
00:16:30,022 --> 00:16:32,191
you know, and he goes, Yeah, yeah.
538
00:16:32,191 --> 00:16:34,593
And I had to go out and buy a blade.
539
00:16:34,593 --> 00:16:36,161
And I was like,
540
00:16:36,161 --> 00:16:38,497
I think I should just buy one and yeah,
541
00:16:38,998 --> 00:16:40,399
get the blades with it.
542
00:16:40,399 --> 00:16:41,100
Yeah, it's
543
00:16:41,100 --> 00:16:41,800
almost like buy
544
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,936
the blades, get the saw for free.
545
00:16:44,570 --> 00:16:46,071
Blades were brutal.
546
00:16:46,071 --> 00:16:47,072
They're not anymore.
547
00:16:47,072 --> 00:16:49,808
But yeah, you know.
548
00:16:49,808 --> 00:16:51,877
My, my fighting tool,
549
00:16:51,877 --> 00:16:53,278
the first one I bought was
550
00:16:53,278 --> 00:16:54,780
it was like a heavy duty metal one.
551
00:16:54,780 --> 00:16:55,681
Back then.
552
00:16:55,681 --> 00:16:57,649
They changed the components of something,
553
00:16:57,649 --> 00:16:58,984
but it was 1500 dollars
554
00:17:00,419 --> 00:17:01,353
for their tool.
555
00:17:01,353 --> 00:17:03,288
Oh, my gosh.
556
00:17:03,288 --> 00:17:03,789
Same thing.
557
00:17:03,789 --> 00:17:04,590
My laser.
558
00:17:04,590 --> 00:17:05,457
I had a laser,
559
00:17:05,457 --> 00:17:06,959
you know, a laser for
560
00:17:06,959 --> 00:17:08,160
you know, for like for herringbone
561
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,029
or for screwing up a room or whatever.
562
00:17:10,029 --> 00:17:12,264
It was about 1500 bucks.
563
00:17:12,264 --> 00:17:14,433
I can. 400 bucks now.
564
00:17:14,433 --> 00:17:15,067
Yeah. Bump.
565
00:17:15,067 --> 00:17:16,802
Bump gave me one for Christmas.
566
00:17:16,802 --> 00:17:18,203
Yeah. The Husky.
567
00:17:18,203 --> 00:17:19,271
Yeah, it's awesome.
568
00:17:19,271 --> 00:17:20,305
There you go.
569
00:17:21,473 --> 00:17:22,541
Mine was the place.
570
00:17:22,541 --> 00:17:24,076
I've been doing with that.
571
00:17:24,076 --> 00:17:24,943
What I'm.
572
00:17:24,943 --> 00:17:25,844
Saying and corners
573
00:17:25,844 --> 00:17:27,513
and stuff like that with it I would.
574
00:17:27,513 --> 00:17:29,381
Lay laser.
575
00:17:29,381 --> 00:17:31,683
Now with the, the,
576
00:17:31,683 --> 00:17:33,018
the husky fighting tool.
577
00:17:33,018 --> 00:17:34,319
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
578
00:17:34,319 --> 00:17:35,821
It comes with a corner attachment
579
00:17:35,821 --> 00:17:36,321
and I thought
580
00:17:36,321 --> 00:17:37,589
oh I gave this,
581
00:17:37,589 --> 00:17:38,023
I bet
582
00:17:38,023 --> 00:17:40,793
I looked at the thing for four years
583
00:17:40,793 --> 00:17:42,194
and go, oh that's stupid.
584
00:17:42,194 --> 00:17:44,563
Never. Do you never use that.
585
00:17:44,563 --> 00:17:45,197
Mm hmm.
586
00:17:45,197 --> 00:17:46,432
And I need to use it.
587
00:17:46,432 --> 00:17:46,865
And I was like,
588
00:17:46,865 --> 00:17:49,101
Oh, jeez, here's another attack. Yeah.
589
00:17:49,701 --> 00:17:51,703
Now the thing just sat around for a year,
590
00:17:51,703 --> 00:17:53,105
and I didn't look at it, and.
591
00:17:54,473 --> 00:17:55,307
Well,
592
00:17:55,574 --> 00:17:57,876
I'll tell you to look at look at the
593
00:17:58,410 --> 00:17:59,078
another thing
594
00:17:59,078 --> 00:17:59,878
can compare it
595
00:17:59,878 --> 00:18:00,813
to years ago
596
00:18:00,813 --> 00:18:04,850
was is the open concept rooms wide
597
00:18:04,850 --> 00:18:07,186
the big big wide open rooms
598
00:18:07,186 --> 00:18:09,154
we can make really good time.
599
00:18:09,154 --> 00:18:10,422
Some of these older homes,
600
00:18:10,422 --> 00:18:10,956
they're like,
601
00:18:10,956 --> 00:18:11,790
you know,
602
00:18:11,790 --> 00:18:13,792
boom, boom, little boxes, little squares.
603
00:18:13,992 --> 00:18:15,160
You know, supposedly
604
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,995
we had the borders in everything
605
00:18:16,995 --> 00:18:20,532
around them,
606
00:18:20,532 --> 00:18:21,500
this wide plank
607
00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:23,602
now 611, eight inch wide plank.
608
00:18:24,002 --> 00:18:24,803
You know, we
609
00:18:24,803 --> 00:18:26,171
we used to put in toothpick floors.
610
00:18:26,171 --> 00:18:28,040
It was one inch wide.
611
00:18:28,340 --> 00:18:29,408
You know, how long it is
612
00:18:29,408 --> 00:18:30,409
to go across the floor?
613
00:18:30,409 --> 00:18:31,944
One inch at a time.
614
00:18:31,944 --> 00:18:32,611
Yeah.
615
00:18:33,712 --> 00:18:34,079
Yeah.
616
00:18:34,780 --> 00:18:37,082
Versus dropping in an eight inch board.
617
00:18:37,082 --> 00:18:37,983
So all these things
618
00:18:37,983 --> 00:18:41,186
that we don't have going on our side,
619
00:18:41,186 --> 00:18:42,287
the milling is much better
620
00:18:42,287 --> 00:18:44,289
than it's ever been back in the day.
621
00:18:44,690 --> 00:18:47,960
I mean, the milling was awful.
622
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,762
The the laminate floors back then,
623
00:18:51,029 --> 00:18:51,597
you know, always
624
00:18:51,597 --> 00:18:53,298
we had a negative connotation.
625
00:18:53,298 --> 00:18:55,300
So now we go engineered floors.
626
00:18:55,300 --> 00:18:58,370
The world around them was terrible.
627
00:18:58,370 --> 00:18:59,771
Now you've got, you know, nice thick
628
00:18:59,771 --> 00:19:00,839
where layers on these floor
629
00:19:00,839 --> 00:19:02,608
is going to be sanded many times over
630
00:19:04,877 --> 00:19:06,745
presented floors.
631
00:19:06,745 --> 00:19:07,012
We can
632
00:19:07,012 --> 00:19:08,647
basically just put a buffer to them
633
00:19:08,647 --> 00:19:10,616
and it's our staining.
634
00:19:10,616 --> 00:19:12,184
So there is a lot of ways
635
00:19:12,184 --> 00:19:13,719
to make money now
636
00:19:13,719 --> 00:19:16,321
that you can do in the old days.
637
00:19:16,321 --> 00:19:17,456
So, you know, I'm
638
00:19:17,456 --> 00:19:19,291
not saying that the job is any easier.
639
00:19:19,291 --> 00:19:20,559
I mean, it's still a tough job.
640
00:19:20,559 --> 00:19:21,193
Don't get me wrong.
641
00:19:21,193 --> 00:19:24,363
I make no bones about it.
642
00:19:24,363 --> 00:19:27,566
But the the the tools
643
00:19:27,566 --> 00:19:29,168
as far as look at the sand,
644
00:19:29,168 --> 00:19:30,969
the aluminum oxide,
645
00:19:31,403 --> 00:19:34,206
those diamond.
646
00:19:34,206 --> 00:19:35,207
The diamond,
647
00:19:35,207 --> 00:19:36,742
the bone, the diamond plates.
648
00:19:36,742 --> 00:19:38,277
They've changed everything.
649
00:19:38,277 --> 00:19:39,044
That
650
00:19:40,379 --> 00:19:42,848
that that's a that was a shocker.
651
00:19:42,848 --> 00:19:44,783
I mean, I had seen those before
652
00:19:44,783 --> 00:19:46,251
and never even thought
653
00:19:46,251 --> 00:19:48,720
about putting that on a hardwood floor.
654
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,255
And so then when bone came out,
655
00:19:50,255 --> 00:19:51,690
you know, I started playing with them.
656
00:19:51,690 --> 00:19:54,092
Everything I mean, I just sat
657
00:19:54,459 --> 00:19:56,895
there was just going to shred the floor.
658
00:19:56,895 --> 00:19:57,563
Yeah.
659
00:19:57,696 --> 00:19:59,231
There's got to be a lot of old timers
660
00:19:59,231 --> 00:20:00,032
like me out there.
661
00:20:00,032 --> 00:20:02,501
Like, you can't put that on a floor.
662
00:20:02,501 --> 00:20:04,236
You'll destroy it. And
663
00:20:05,270 --> 00:20:07,639
my gosh, was I ever shocked
664
00:20:09,041 --> 00:20:11,577
where we would use that diamond plate?
665
00:20:11,944 --> 00:20:13,111
And then the next cut,
666
00:20:13,111 --> 00:20:14,613
the second cut is a 50
667
00:20:14,613 --> 00:20:16,181
grain on the power drive.
668
00:20:16,181 --> 00:20:18,217
Yeah. And forget about it. It's perfect.
669
00:20:18,350 --> 00:20:20,852
I mean, it is just.
670
00:20:20,852 --> 00:20:21,687
A.
671
00:20:21,687 --> 00:20:24,323
Definite game changer, but the speed.
672
00:20:24,923 --> 00:20:28,627
Yeah, the speed of it is just insane.
673
00:20:29,061 --> 00:20:30,128
Look at the old days
674
00:20:30,128 --> 00:20:31,897
when you came across aluminum.
675
00:20:31,897 --> 00:20:32,197
Let's say,
676
00:20:32,197 --> 00:20:33,198
God forbid
677
00:20:33,198 --> 00:20:34,299
you get a job
678
00:20:34,299 --> 00:20:35,000
and you didn't realize
679
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,769
this little bit of oxide is like, oh,
680
00:20:37,769 --> 00:20:38,971
no, you know, there's there's times
681
00:20:38,971 --> 00:20:40,339
when you feel like you hit the lottery.
682
00:20:40,339 --> 00:20:42,941
This was times like, oh, no, what?
683
00:20:43,008 --> 00:20:43,775
Yeah. Oh, no.
684
00:20:43,775 --> 00:20:44,910
And then you started thinking about
685
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:46,545
what your week is going to be like.
686
00:20:46,545 --> 00:20:47,879
And you look at the amount of sandpaper
687
00:20:47,879 --> 00:20:48,614
that's in your van.
688
00:20:48,614 --> 00:20:51,350
You go, that's not going to hit you.
689
00:20:51,350 --> 00:20:52,184
Look at your profits
690
00:20:52,184 --> 00:20:54,219
because it's all going to sandpaper
691
00:20:54,219 --> 00:20:55,020
in the time.
692
00:20:55,020 --> 00:20:56,221
Did you got to get the scraper out,
693
00:20:56,221 --> 00:20:57,923
hooked the owners and everything
694
00:20:57,923 --> 00:20:59,491
alongside it? Nothing's nothing.
695
00:20:59,491 --> 00:21:00,459
Yeah, nothing's work.
696
00:21:00,459 --> 00:21:01,893
It's laughing at you.
697
00:21:01,893 --> 00:21:03,228
Yeah. Yeah.
698
00:21:03,228 --> 00:21:06,331
So got that first aluminum oxide pre
699
00:21:06,331 --> 00:21:08,967
finish floors. They were. Loaded.
700
00:21:10,569 --> 00:21:13,171
They were loaded with aluminum.
701
00:21:13,171 --> 00:21:15,240
Well we did some garage floors
702
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,342
that were just like, holy mackerel.
703
00:21:17,909 --> 00:21:20,345
Yeah, they were brutal.
704
00:21:20,345 --> 00:21:21,113
They say aluminum
705
00:21:21,113 --> 00:21:22,514
oxide is a fourth hardest
706
00:21:22,514 --> 00:21:24,149
substance known to man.
707
00:21:24,149 --> 00:21:27,719
So, you know, you put sandpaper to that.
708
00:21:27,719 --> 00:21:28,320
It's going to it's
709
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,022
going to be a struggle then.
710
00:21:30,022 --> 00:21:32,124
Diamonds, man. So much easier.
711
00:21:32,791 --> 00:21:34,926
So you've got milling is better.
712
00:21:34,926 --> 00:21:36,361
The equipment is better.
713
00:21:36,361 --> 00:21:38,230
The the the with the
714
00:21:38,230 --> 00:21:40,699
the boards, the the rooms.
715
00:21:40,699 --> 00:21:41,466
So much
716
00:21:41,466 --> 00:21:42,668
the staining is dries
717
00:21:42,668 --> 00:21:44,202
faster, easier to buff on.
718
00:21:44,202 --> 00:21:46,538
You have to worry about it so much
719
00:21:46,538 --> 00:21:48,840
the back in the old days with poly
720
00:21:48,874 --> 00:21:50,542
you'd have to 3000 square foot
721
00:21:50,542 --> 00:21:51,543
you had to first go down.
722
00:21:51,543 --> 00:21:53,545
Well, you got to bury out the buffer.
723
00:21:54,146 --> 00:21:55,547
You got to bring out the vacuum, you
724
00:21:55,547 --> 00:21:56,281
got to tack it.
725
00:21:57,449 --> 00:21:59,384
Or today you could coat it.
726
00:21:59,384 --> 00:21:59,651
Long.
727
00:21:59,651 --> 00:22:00,285
As you with our
728
00:22:00,285 --> 00:22:00,919
with our finishes
729
00:22:00,919 --> 00:22:02,087
within 48 hours walk
730
00:22:02,087 --> 00:22:04,056
in, just coat it again.
731
00:22:04,356 --> 00:22:06,858
So yeah, I started thinking about that.
732
00:22:06,858 --> 00:22:07,893
When we started thinking
733
00:22:07,893 --> 00:22:11,063
about doing shows that man there, there's
734
00:22:11,063 --> 00:22:14,366
some really, you know,
735
00:22:14,499 --> 00:22:15,767
look at the differences.
736
00:22:15,767 --> 00:22:16,501
I think there's
737
00:22:16,501 --> 00:22:18,637
some pretty good advantages right now.
738
00:22:18,637 --> 00:22:19,705
Absolutely.
739
00:22:19,705 --> 00:22:21,940
I couldn't agree more.
740
00:22:21,940 --> 00:22:23,275
But I think there's a huge
741
00:22:23,275 --> 00:22:24,443
disadvantage to.
742
00:22:24,443 --> 00:22:26,378
I know what you're going to say.
743
00:22:26,378 --> 00:22:28,013
What am I. Going to say?
744
00:22:28,013 --> 00:22:28,647
Tell me.
745
00:22:28,647 --> 00:22:31,817
I think you're going to say social media.
746
00:22:31,817 --> 00:22:33,285
Really damn close.
747
00:22:33,285 --> 00:22:34,286
Okay. Go ahead.
748
00:22:34,286 --> 00:22:36,521
Yeah, I was going to say the Internet.
749
00:22:36,521 --> 00:22:37,389
Okay. Yeah.
750
00:22:37,389 --> 00:22:37,856
Okay.
751
00:22:37,856 --> 00:22:38,790
Because,
752
00:22:39,091 --> 00:22:39,391
you know,
753
00:22:39,391 --> 00:22:42,561
part of my job is working the tech line
754
00:22:42,561 --> 00:22:45,764
and the lunatics
755
00:22:45,764 --> 00:22:48,166
that these poor guys,
756
00:22:48,166 --> 00:22:50,369
you know, my son included,
757
00:22:50,902 --> 00:22:55,040
have to deal with the calls that I get.
758
00:22:56,174 --> 00:22:57,542
I get home
759
00:22:57,542 --> 00:22:59,644
owners calling me, asking me question
760
00:23:00,512 --> 00:23:03,181
before the job is even started
761
00:23:03,181 --> 00:23:06,852
so they can tell a contractor what to do
762
00:23:06,852 --> 00:23:08,253
and to make sure that he's
763
00:23:08,253 --> 00:23:10,655
doing his job right.
764
00:23:10,655 --> 00:23:12,691
So it is scary.
765
00:23:12,991 --> 00:23:16,061
It is absolutely scary.
766
00:23:16,061 --> 00:23:17,362
What some of the
767
00:23:17,362 --> 00:23:18,063
what these guys
768
00:23:18,063 --> 00:23:19,464
that you're dealing with now.
769
00:23:19,464 --> 00:23:21,733
But as far as role models,
770
00:23:21,733 --> 00:23:22,401
let's face it,
771
00:23:22,401 --> 00:23:22,901
I mean,
772
00:23:22,901 --> 00:23:26,238
I'm pretty sure you had the same thing
773
00:23:26,905 --> 00:23:28,206
if if we're just glad
774
00:23:28,206 --> 00:23:29,341
that we showed up when we say
775
00:23:29,341 --> 00:23:29,574
we're going
776
00:23:29,574 --> 00:23:30,609
to show up
777
00:23:30,609 --> 00:23:33,512
and happy that their floors were done.
778
00:23:33,512 --> 00:23:35,914
Actually, these guys are going to
779
00:23:35,914 --> 00:23:37,082
your California,
780
00:23:37,082 --> 00:23:38,316
so maybe it was different.
781
00:23:38,316 --> 00:23:39,384
No, no. I was going to say.
782
00:23:39,384 --> 00:23:41,586
Well, back then it was just expected.
783
00:23:41,586 --> 00:23:43,922
I mean, we didn't have the issues that,
784
00:23:43,989 --> 00:23:44,389
you know,
785
00:23:44,389 --> 00:23:46,091
I think today the guys who challenged
786
00:23:46,091 --> 00:23:47,459
with was labor shortage.
787
00:23:47,459 --> 00:23:48,994
But you're
788
00:23:48,994 --> 00:23:49,494
you're
789
00:23:49,494 --> 00:23:51,062
you're in a unique position
790
00:23:51,062 --> 00:23:53,365
to hear all those complaints
791
00:23:53,365 --> 00:23:54,566
from homeowners
792
00:23:54,566 --> 00:23:55,500
and you're the reason like
793
00:23:55,500 --> 00:23:58,403
I would never want to be a fishing guide.
794
00:23:58,403 --> 00:23:58,937
You know what I mean?
795
00:23:58,937 --> 00:24:01,173
Because you take something that you love
796
00:24:01,173 --> 00:24:03,008
and I'll send all negative comes to you.
797
00:24:03,008 --> 00:24:04,910
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
798
00:24:04,910 --> 00:24:06,545
Or you know what I mean?
799
00:24:06,545 --> 00:24:08,580
And it kind of. So you get it.
800
00:24:08,580 --> 00:24:10,816
You're seeing the worst of it.
801
00:24:10,816 --> 00:24:11,450
Oh, yeah.
802
00:24:11,450 --> 00:24:13,852
So I think that makes it tough. That
803
00:24:14,953 --> 00:24:15,821
one thing that I
804
00:24:15,821 --> 00:24:16,488
have learned,
805
00:24:16,488 --> 00:24:17,989
though, is,
806
00:24:17,989 --> 00:24:18,423
you know,
807
00:24:18,423 --> 00:24:20,625
because I get calls from the homeowner.
808
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:20,859
Yeah,
809
00:24:20,859 --> 00:24:22,494
I don't think he put the hardware in
810
00:24:22,494 --> 00:24:25,330
because I didn't see him do it and.
811
00:24:25,897 --> 00:24:28,066
Oh yeah, oh, yeah.
812
00:24:28,066 --> 00:24:29,100
Well, what would happen
813
00:24:29,100 --> 00:24:30,435
if he didn't put the hardware in
814
00:24:30,435 --> 00:24:31,102
or what would happen
815
00:24:31,102 --> 00:24:32,237
if he didn't use a sealer?
816
00:24:32,237 --> 00:24:33,672
I read it needed a sealer.
817
00:24:33,672 --> 00:24:34,206
And
818
00:24:35,307 --> 00:24:36,908
so and your last day at work,
819
00:24:36,908 --> 00:24:40,278
he could really have some fun.
820
00:24:40,278 --> 00:24:41,980
I have fun now.
821
00:24:41,980 --> 00:24:43,982
Oh that house is going to blow up.
822
00:24:44,316 --> 00:24:45,684
I yeah.
823
00:24:45,684 --> 00:24:47,552
Yeah I have some fun now.
824
00:24:47,552 --> 00:24:48,053
Okay.
825
00:24:48,053 --> 00:24:51,423
Every once in a while I get the
826
00:24:51,423 --> 00:24:52,991
can I speak to your boss please?
827
00:24:52,991 --> 00:24:55,260
And I always lean in and I go,
828
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:56,528
I am the boss.
829
00:24:56,528 --> 00:24:58,630
You're, you're speaking to the boss.
830
00:24:59,130 --> 00:25:00,665
But then when I do that,
831
00:25:00,665 --> 00:25:02,801
I have to immediately call D and say,
832
00:25:03,001 --> 00:25:03,869
hey, I,
833
00:25:03,869 --> 00:25:05,537
I told somebody that I was the boss,
834
00:25:05,537 --> 00:25:07,038
and he's like, Oh, good, thank you.
835
00:25:07,038 --> 00:25:08,073
I appreciate that.
836
00:25:08,073 --> 00:25:09,341
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
837
00:25:09,341 --> 00:25:12,110
Because, man, there are some
838
00:25:12,110 --> 00:25:12,978
I mean, there are some,
839
00:25:13,979 --> 00:25:16,681
but I do tell the students my students
840
00:25:16,681 --> 00:25:18,383
now I'm saying, look,
841
00:25:18,383 --> 00:25:19,618
here's what they're looking for
842
00:25:19,618 --> 00:25:20,986
with you guys.
843
00:25:20,986 --> 00:25:22,254
Yeah, yeah.
844
00:25:22,254 --> 00:25:24,155
They're reading directions.
845
00:25:24,155 --> 00:25:26,424
They, you know, they're measured.
846
00:25:26,424 --> 00:25:27,792
They're out there
847
00:25:27,826 --> 00:25:28,660
as you're in their floor.
848
00:25:28,660 --> 00:25:29,628
They're counting
849
00:25:29,628 --> 00:25:31,596
what's in their garbage cans.
850
00:25:31,596 --> 00:25:32,664
When you guys leave,
851
00:25:32,664 --> 00:25:34,366
they're reading labels.
852
00:25:34,366 --> 00:25:38,003
You got to be you got to be stealth math.
853
00:25:38,036 --> 00:25:39,504
Wow, wow. Got to be.
854
00:25:39,504 --> 00:25:42,040
Well on the spot.
855
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,876
You know, I'm not really familiar
856
00:25:44,876 --> 00:25:48,113
with with we don't have a
857
00:25:48,113 --> 00:25:50,782
front porch camera in our house
858
00:25:50,782 --> 00:25:51,483
or whatever.
859
00:25:51,483 --> 00:25:52,551
And I'm there really, you know,
860
00:25:52,551 --> 00:25:53,552
I don't go to the people's house
861
00:25:53,552 --> 00:25:55,720
that much to where I, you know, whatever.
862
00:25:56,054 --> 00:25:58,823
But my brother, they go, Yeah,
863
00:25:58,823 --> 00:26:01,826
we just got to do our front porch
864
00:26:01,826 --> 00:26:03,295
cameras on our ports.
865
00:26:03,295 --> 00:26:04,062
Oh, that's cool. Whatever.
866
00:26:05,130 --> 00:26:05,830
I went over there and
867
00:26:05,830 --> 00:26:07,632
I'm talking to him outside
868
00:26:07,632 --> 00:26:10,769
and he sent me the video back.
869
00:26:10,769 --> 00:26:12,938
I was shocked
870
00:26:12,938 --> 00:26:16,174
at how much you could hear, how far away
871
00:26:16,174 --> 00:26:16,875
from the house
872
00:26:16,875 --> 00:26:18,743
you could hear as plain as day.
873
00:26:18,743 --> 00:26:21,813
And I went, Oh, boy,
874
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,348
you got to be careful.
875
00:26:23,348 --> 00:26:24,049
There
876
00:26:25,016 --> 00:26:26,918
he was, my brother.
877
00:26:26,918 --> 00:26:29,487
I mean, you know.
878
00:26:29,721 --> 00:26:29,921
What?
879
00:26:29,921 --> 00:26:31,222
This knucklehead, he's sleeping in like.
880
00:26:31,222 --> 00:26:32,357
You know, to me,
881
00:26:33,258 --> 00:26:34,359
it's okay.
882
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:35,994
You got to be careful, man.
883
00:26:35,994 --> 00:26:38,296
That was I was an eye opener for me.
884
00:26:38,296 --> 00:26:39,464
So, you know, all these cameras
885
00:26:39,464 --> 00:26:40,498
everywhere, that's
886
00:26:40,498 --> 00:26:40,932
I feel
887
00:26:40,932 --> 00:26:42,267
and I genuinely feel bad
888
00:26:42,267 --> 00:26:43,602
for the guys for that.
889
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:44,269
Nobody.
890
00:26:44,269 --> 00:26:46,304
I don't care how good you are.
891
00:26:46,304 --> 00:26:48,473
I don't care what profession you're in.
892
00:26:48,473 --> 00:26:50,175
I don't care what you do for a living.
893
00:26:50,175 --> 00:26:51,343
Nobody wants someone
894
00:26:51,343 --> 00:26:52,978
listen to them all day long
895
00:26:52,978 --> 00:26:54,613
or their eyes on them all day long
896
00:26:54,613 --> 00:26:57,248
when they're working. You just don't.
897
00:26:58,249 --> 00:27:00,352
It's more than not now.
898
00:27:00,352 --> 00:27:01,853
Guys are.
899
00:27:02,020 --> 00:27:03,855
Yeah, that guys are on film.
900
00:27:03,855 --> 00:27:04,723
They
901
00:27:06,858 --> 00:27:08,426
that that
902
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,630
see I have a really good attitude
903
00:27:12,464 --> 00:27:14,733
but that would, that would really
904
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,736
that would be that would bug me.
905
00:27:17,736 --> 00:27:20,472
I had a crew come to a school
906
00:27:20,472 --> 00:27:23,842
up in Toronto and
907
00:27:23,842 --> 00:27:25,410
we were talking,
908
00:27:25,410 --> 00:27:26,745
you know, just having a discussion.
909
00:27:26,745 --> 00:27:28,913
We said, you know, you go
910
00:27:28,913 --> 00:27:30,348
you got to pretend
911
00:27:30,348 --> 00:27:31,383
when you're in somebody's
912
00:27:31,383 --> 00:27:34,352
house like you're being recorded.
913
00:27:34,352 --> 00:27:36,821
And the guy said, Oh, I get a story.
914
00:27:36,821 --> 00:27:39,024
He goes, We were being recorded.
915
00:27:39,724 --> 00:27:40,358
And he said,
916
00:27:40,358 --> 00:27:42,060
I get a call from the homeowner
917
00:27:42,060 --> 00:27:43,595
who's at work
918
00:27:43,595 --> 00:27:44,362
and said,
919
00:27:44,362 --> 00:27:46,665
Your guys are stealing stuff
920
00:27:46,665 --> 00:27:48,767
out of my drawers.
921
00:27:49,134 --> 00:27:50,969
And and the guy's like,
922
00:27:50,969 --> 00:27:53,204
That's impossible.
923
00:27:53,204 --> 00:27:54,272
It's my son.
924
00:27:54,272 --> 00:27:54,773
My son
925
00:27:54,773 --> 00:27:56,341
is that leader on that job,
926
00:27:56,341 --> 00:27:58,777
and it's just him and another guy.
927
00:27:58,777 --> 00:28:00,845
And he goes, I'll send you the video.
928
00:28:00,845 --> 00:28:01,112
Don't
929
00:28:01,112 --> 00:28:03,248
you think it was the guy's son
930
00:28:03,248 --> 00:28:05,016
who was at the class?
931
00:28:05,016 --> 00:28:06,184
No kidding.
932
00:28:06,184 --> 00:28:08,253
Yeah. Who was. Stealing?
933
00:28:08,253 --> 00:28:10,355
He wasn't stealing anything.
934
00:28:10,355 --> 00:28:12,791
I've done it a million times.
935
00:28:12,791 --> 00:28:14,659
I'm working in a kitchen.
936
00:28:14,659 --> 00:28:17,662
I need a pencil, a thumbtack, a piece.
937
00:28:17,696 --> 00:28:18,029
Yeah.
938
00:28:18,029 --> 00:28:20,131
And I start rifling through drawers.
939
00:28:20,565 --> 00:28:22,467
Yeah. To look for.
940
00:28:22,467 --> 00:28:24,135
Where's your junk drawer. Where. Yeah.
941
00:28:24,135 --> 00:28:24,869
All that crap.
942
00:28:25,970 --> 00:28:26,805
Well,
943
00:28:27,105 --> 00:28:27,472
when you're
944
00:28:27,472 --> 00:28:29,474
doing that and there's no sound
945
00:28:29,941 --> 00:28:31,242
because this was, you know,
946
00:28:31,242 --> 00:28:33,545
the older days when there was no sound,
947
00:28:33,545 --> 00:28:34,946
it was just video.
948
00:28:34,946 --> 00:28:35,547
It looked like
949
00:28:35,547 --> 00:28:37,449
he was ransacking the joint.
950
00:28:37,449 --> 00:28:38,483
See, you know,
951
00:28:38,483 --> 00:28:39,651
they say you don't want to.
952
00:28:39,651 --> 00:28:41,953
You shouldn't see somebody make the cake.
953
00:28:41,953 --> 00:28:42,520
You know what I mean?
954
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,589
You just want to eat the cake.
955
00:28:44,589 --> 00:28:46,024
And well, back in the day
956
00:28:46,024 --> 00:28:46,891
when we did floors,
957
00:28:46,891 --> 00:28:48,693
you just saw the cake
958
00:28:48,693 --> 00:28:51,096
when it was done, here's your cake.
959
00:28:51,096 --> 00:28:51,863
But now
960
00:28:51,863 --> 00:28:53,732
if you're watching every little move
961
00:28:53,732 --> 00:28:54,632
and every little dish
962
00:28:54,632 --> 00:28:54,966
and you would
963
00:28:54,966 --> 00:28:56,701
micromanage these guys and, you know,
964
00:28:56,701 --> 00:28:57,502
you're worried to death
965
00:28:57,502 --> 00:28:58,203
in the first place
966
00:28:58,203 --> 00:28:59,871
because they're in your home,
967
00:28:59,871 --> 00:29:02,340
that's not a good, healthy thing.
968
00:29:03,108 --> 00:29:05,176
Hire people you trust.
969
00:29:05,176 --> 00:29:06,578
And I see the same thing
970
00:29:06,578 --> 00:29:08,246
with art with in my situation.
971
00:29:08,246 --> 00:29:10,482
Now, you hire good horses.
972
00:29:10,482 --> 00:29:12,217
You let the horses run.
973
00:29:12,217 --> 00:29:14,219
You know what I mean? Yeah.
974
00:29:14,219 --> 00:29:15,720
If you're going to hire Floridians
975
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:16,421
you don't trust,
976
00:29:16,421 --> 00:29:17,989
don't hire that poor guy.
977
00:29:17,989 --> 00:29:18,823
Don't, don't, don't, don't
978
00:29:18,823 --> 00:29:20,158
do it to him and don't do it. You
979
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:22,560
I.
980
00:29:22,894 --> 00:29:24,195
Wayne, I just can't.
981
00:29:24,195 --> 00:29:28,399
I bet we get 20 to 30 calls a day
982
00:29:29,134 --> 00:29:32,003
from lunatic homeowners
983
00:29:32,003 --> 00:29:34,239
who are I mean, just
984
00:29:34,239 --> 00:29:37,342
and I've had I mean, a few times
985
00:29:37,342 --> 00:29:38,476
every day
986
00:29:38,843 --> 00:29:40,745
I finally ask, you know, what's going on?
987
00:29:40,745 --> 00:29:42,180
Are you having an issue or something?
988
00:29:42,180 --> 00:29:43,014
And they're like,
989
00:29:43,014 --> 00:29:43,748
No, you know,
990
00:29:43,748 --> 00:29:45,383
I just want to get enough information
991
00:29:45,383 --> 00:29:46,151
so I can make sure
992
00:29:46,151 --> 00:29:47,218
the guy is doing it right.
993
00:29:47,218 --> 00:29:48,553
And I can tell and I'm like,
994
00:29:48,553 --> 00:29:52,457
Oh my gosh, I, I just want to give
995
00:29:52,891 --> 00:29:54,926
I want to find out who the contractor is
996
00:29:54,926 --> 00:29:55,460
and give him a head.
997
00:29:55,460 --> 00:29:56,861
Yeah, I know. Yeah.
998
00:29:56,861 --> 00:29:59,130
You know what?
999
00:29:59,130 --> 00:30:01,533
Now that I said that out loud,
1000
00:30:02,033 --> 00:30:04,235
I might try to do something like that.
1001
00:30:04,235 --> 00:30:05,904
I might lose my job opponent
1002
00:30:05,904 --> 00:30:06,604
for saying that,
1003
00:30:06,604 --> 00:30:09,274
but I would just love to give somebody
1004
00:30:09,274 --> 00:30:10,542
a heads up and go,
1005
00:30:10,542 --> 00:30:11,576
look, man, you're
1006
00:30:11,576 --> 00:30:13,178
you're walking into a firestorm
1007
00:30:13,178 --> 00:30:14,846
here, okay?
1008
00:30:14,846 --> 00:30:15,914
Be careful.
1009
00:30:15,914 --> 00:30:16,548
You're like that.
1010
00:30:16,548 --> 00:30:18,216
Gary, was it Gary Stewart?
1011
00:30:18,216 --> 00:30:20,251
Booth we. Were.
1012
00:30:20,285 --> 00:30:22,420
What was the movie when the lady was at a
1013
00:30:22,654 --> 00:30:24,022
in her apartment building in New York
1014
00:30:24,022 --> 00:30:24,889
and she just looked out the window.
1015
00:30:24,889 --> 00:30:26,224
She saw a murder,
1016
00:30:26,224 --> 00:30:27,926
but she's only one inside.
1017
00:30:27,926 --> 00:30:29,194
No one would believe her
1018
00:30:29,194 --> 00:30:30,728
as you couldn't contact anybody.
1019
00:30:31,963 --> 00:30:33,498
You know what I mean?
1020
00:30:33,498 --> 00:30:34,933
The rear window was that rear.
1021
00:30:34,933 --> 00:30:38,736
Window sounds like it was rear window.
1022
00:30:38,736 --> 00:30:39,237
Might have been.
1023
00:30:39,237 --> 00:30:41,739
Jimmy. Stewart. It was Jimmy Stewart.
1024
00:30:41,773 --> 00:30:43,374
The Gary Stewart. James Stewart.
1025
00:30:43,374 --> 00:30:44,642
Yes. You're right.
1026
00:30:44,642 --> 00:30:45,610
You're right.
1027
00:30:46,010 --> 00:30:47,345
That's a bad place for you to be.
1028
00:30:47,345 --> 00:30:51,382
I wouldn't be very good at that job.
1029
00:30:51,382 --> 00:30:54,018
As tough as you are for this man.
1030
00:30:54,519 --> 00:30:56,688
He constantly reminds me
1031
00:30:57,655 --> 00:31:00,391
that even if it's
1032
00:31:00,491 --> 00:31:02,227
even if it's a
1033
00:31:02,627 --> 00:31:05,463
ridiculous homeowner,
1034
00:31:05,463 --> 00:31:07,599
that we still have to show
1035
00:31:07,599 --> 00:31:10,535
the pride of bona tech and training.
1036
00:31:10,535 --> 00:31:12,203
We got to treat that homeowner
1037
00:31:12,203 --> 00:31:13,471
just like we would
1038
00:31:13,471 --> 00:31:15,073
treat somebody at our school.
1039
00:31:15,073 --> 00:31:17,876
And but it's it's tough.
1040
00:31:17,876 --> 00:31:19,410
But he's right.
1041
00:31:19,410 --> 00:31:21,212
And we try. Well.
1042
00:31:21,212 --> 00:31:23,915
Until I get that it's always 100%.
1043
00:31:23,915 --> 00:31:25,083
I get that.
1044
00:31:25,183 --> 00:31:27,352
But it is in.
1045
00:31:27,352 --> 00:31:29,988
Oh, you know.
1046
00:31:29,988 --> 00:31:31,756
If you look if we weren't floor man
1047
00:31:31,756 --> 00:31:33,691
if we were never floor man,
1048
00:31:33,691 --> 00:31:35,860
I think it'd be a whole lot easier
1049
00:31:35,860 --> 00:31:36,261
actually.
1050
00:31:36,261 --> 00:31:37,896
I think sometimes this entire job
1051
00:31:37,896 --> 00:31:38,696
would be easier
1052
00:31:38,696 --> 00:31:40,131
if I had to do less about floors.
1053
00:31:40,131 --> 00:31:40,632
And I do.
1054
00:31:42,233 --> 00:31:42,400
You.
1055
00:31:42,467 --> 00:31:46,738
I mean.
1056
00:31:46,738 --> 00:31:48,273
If I didn't care as much,
1057
00:31:48,273 --> 00:31:49,641
if I didn't know as much, it
1058
00:31:49,641 --> 00:31:50,441
probably would be easier
1059
00:31:50,441 --> 00:31:52,110
sometimes I wonder that.
1060
00:31:52,110 --> 00:31:53,678
But the fact is we do.
1061
00:31:53,678 --> 00:31:55,513
And so that would be it's up.
1062
00:31:55,513 --> 00:31:55,813
Yeah, it's
1063
00:31:55,813 --> 00:31:56,714
a tough spot for you to be
1064
00:31:56,714 --> 00:31:59,017
and I feel bad for, you know.
1065
00:31:59,050 --> 00:32:00,952
So yeah. Yeah.
1066
00:32:00,952 --> 00:32:01,219
You know,
1067
00:32:01,219 --> 00:32:03,288
like I could be scraping
1068
00:32:03,288 --> 00:32:05,056
underneath radiators.
1069
00:32:05,056 --> 00:32:05,623
Yeah.
1070
00:32:05,623 --> 00:32:08,259
True that so so all right.
1071
00:32:08,259 --> 00:32:10,461
So you know going back to
1072
00:32:11,462 --> 00:32:13,164
what was just show about again
1073
00:32:13,164 --> 00:32:14,966
how easy they got it.
1074
00:32:14,966 --> 00:32:16,901
Well no, no, no.
1075
00:32:16,901 --> 00:32:18,369
You see improved
1076
00:32:18,369 --> 00:32:20,471
productivity and productivity
1077
00:32:20,471 --> 00:32:21,706
improvements.
1078
00:32:21,706 --> 00:32:22,106
Okay.
1079
00:32:22,106 --> 00:32:24,509
You're going to like this one.
1080
00:32:24,509 --> 00:32:24,776
You know,
1081
00:32:24,776 --> 00:32:26,010
we just wrapped up
1082
00:32:26,010 --> 00:32:29,180
our first kind of owner install school
1083
00:32:29,180 --> 00:32:30,148
and we're going to talk about that
1084
00:32:30,148 --> 00:32:30,782
in the next show.
1085
00:32:30,782 --> 00:32:31,816
Anyways,
1086
00:32:31,816 --> 00:32:34,852
the final day was our sanding portion,
1087
00:32:35,153 --> 00:32:36,721
sanding and finishing,
1088
00:32:36,721 --> 00:32:39,691
and I was surprised how many guys
1089
00:32:39,691 --> 00:32:42,760
showed up that for the install
1090
00:32:42,827 --> 00:32:43,361
and everything
1091
00:32:44,796 --> 00:32:46,331
they install but they don't sand.
1092
00:32:46,331 --> 00:32:49,334
So we had some guys who were new to
1093
00:32:49,367 --> 00:32:50,835
sanding today.
1094
00:32:50,835 --> 00:32:53,071
I think we had like a half a dozen guys
1095
00:32:53,905 --> 00:32:55,106
teaching them.
1096
00:32:55,940 --> 00:32:57,575
So Mike and I had them out, you know,
1097
00:32:57,575 --> 00:32:58,109
teach them how
1098
00:32:58,109 --> 00:33:00,144
to drum and edge and all this.
1099
00:33:00,144 --> 00:33:03,247
And so we got him really good
1100
00:33:03,247 --> 00:33:04,248
with the drum.
1101
00:33:04,248 --> 00:33:04,682
You know,
1102
00:33:04,682 --> 00:33:06,784
we get some big panels in New Jersey,
1103
00:33:06,784 --> 00:33:08,753
so guys can really,
1104
00:33:08,753 --> 00:33:10,822
you know, each panels 300 feet.
1105
00:33:10,822 --> 00:33:13,958
So, you know, guys can really
1106
00:33:13,958 --> 00:33:15,360
attach to the drum.
1107
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,562
SANDER Mm hmm.
1108
00:33:17,595 --> 00:33:18,663
So we did that for,
1109
00:33:18,663 --> 00:33:21,833
I don't know, three or 4 hours
1110
00:33:21,966 --> 00:33:24,902
and when they get all done,
1111
00:33:24,902 --> 00:33:25,503
I said, all right,
1112
00:33:25,503 --> 00:33:27,605
next cut will do with the
1113
00:33:27,605 --> 00:33:29,340
with the power drive.
1114
00:33:30,308 --> 00:33:32,276
And we start working the power draw.
1115
00:33:32,276 --> 00:33:34,846
I put the lines out there and everything.
1116
00:33:34,846 --> 00:33:35,446
And
1117
00:33:36,914 --> 00:33:38,249
so now these guys, they had
1118
00:33:38,249 --> 00:33:39,384
never seen a power drive,
1119
00:33:39,384 --> 00:33:40,251
never seen a drum,
1120
00:33:40,251 --> 00:33:43,321
never seen a power drive.
1121
00:33:43,321 --> 00:33:45,256
And there was one part of the floor.
1122
00:33:45,256 --> 00:33:45,490
I said,
1123
00:33:45,490 --> 00:33:46,357
Leave it there,
1124
00:33:46,357 --> 00:33:47,525
leave the finish and everything
1125
00:33:47,525 --> 00:33:48,092
on, and I'll show you
1126
00:33:48,092 --> 00:33:49,594
what we can do with the power drive.
1127
00:33:49,594 --> 00:33:50,261
Well,
1128
00:33:51,062 --> 00:33:53,264
these kids, they start power driving
1129
00:33:53,264 --> 00:33:54,565
and we turn everything
1130
00:33:54,565 --> 00:33:56,100
off, start talking about something else.
1131
00:33:56,100 --> 00:33:58,770
And the one kid looks at me and he goes,
1132
00:33:59,404 --> 00:33:59,971
Why didn't
1133
00:33:59,971 --> 00:34:01,939
we just start with this machine?
1134
00:34:01,939 --> 00:34:02,540
Yeah,
1135
00:34:04,142 --> 00:34:04,675
yeah.
1136
00:34:05,910 --> 00:34:08,646
He goes, It just seems so much easier.
1137
00:34:08,646 --> 00:34:10,281
And I said, Listen,
1138
00:34:10,515 --> 00:34:12,550
if you think you're going to leave
1139
00:34:12,550 --> 00:34:14,685
a bone in school that I'm a teacher
1140
00:34:15,987 --> 00:34:17,188
without knowing the drop,
1141
00:34:17,188 --> 00:34:19,223
I said, you got to learn the drum first.
1142
00:34:19,223 --> 00:34:20,058
Yeah,
1143
00:34:20,258 --> 00:34:21,092
I just can't start
1144
00:34:21,092 --> 00:34:23,361
out in the power drive. No, stop there.
1145
00:34:23,361 --> 00:34:25,463
You got to earn your stripes
1146
00:34:25,463 --> 00:34:27,331
a little bit. Yeah.
1147
00:34:27,331 --> 00:34:29,967
But it was funny that when you said
1148
00:34:29,967 --> 00:34:30,601
you want to
1149
00:34:30,601 --> 00:34:31,502
this show today
1150
00:34:31,502 --> 00:34:32,070
and I thought,
1151
00:34:32,070 --> 00:34:32,537
Oh, I can't
1152
00:34:32,537 --> 00:34:35,106
wait to tell what this kid is.
1153
00:34:35,139 --> 00:34:36,074
He's probably,
1154
00:34:36,074 --> 00:34:38,076
you know, 22
1155
00:34:38,076 --> 00:34:39,510
and he's looking at me like, why the
1156
00:34:39,510 --> 00:34:40,111
hell do we even
1157
00:34:41,412 --> 00:34:42,180
do that?
1158
00:34:42,180 --> 00:34:42,780
Yeah.
1159
00:34:42,780 --> 00:34:46,751
You dummy.
1160
00:34:46,751 --> 00:34:47,652
That's pretty funny.
1161
00:34:47,652 --> 00:34:49,620
Yeah, it's going to be
1162
00:34:49,754 --> 00:34:51,923
interesting in the next even.
1163
00:34:51,923 --> 00:34:53,024
Look what he's done in the last
1164
00:34:53,024 --> 00:34:53,958
five years.
1165
00:34:53,958 --> 00:34:55,226
The power drive
1166
00:34:55,226 --> 00:34:56,961
and then wait for another
1167
00:34:56,961 --> 00:34:58,496
five more years.
1168
00:34:58,496 --> 00:34:59,230
What that machine's
1169
00:34:59,230 --> 00:35:01,065
going to mean to the industry.
1170
00:35:01,065 --> 00:35:01,999
So, I mean,
1171
00:35:01,999 --> 00:35:03,334
when you talk about productivity
1172
00:35:03,334 --> 00:35:04,936
and everything, that's that's completed.
1173
00:35:04,936 --> 00:35:05,870
Yeah, we talk about a lot.
1174
00:35:05,870 --> 00:35:06,337
So I won't,
1175
00:35:06,337 --> 00:35:08,339
I won't harp on it too much right now,
1176
00:35:08,339 --> 00:35:10,408
but it's really changed the game.
1177
00:35:10,408 --> 00:35:11,709
No question.
1178
00:35:11,709 --> 00:35:12,743
It it was funny.
1179
00:35:12,743 --> 00:35:15,179
He made like two or three passes
1180
00:35:16,380 --> 00:35:16,814
on that.
1181
00:35:16,814 --> 00:35:18,116
You know, it's a long pass.
1182
00:35:18,116 --> 00:35:20,118
So he made two or three passes,
1183
00:35:20,118 --> 00:35:21,319
he turned it off.
1184
00:35:21,319 --> 00:35:22,053
He walks up to him
1185
00:35:22,053 --> 00:35:23,588
and he goes, Is that it?
1186
00:35:23,588 --> 00:35:25,990
I actually I yeah, that's.
1187
00:35:26,924 --> 00:35:28,292
That's it. Well
1188
00:35:29,393 --> 00:35:29,794
yeah.
1189
00:35:31,729 --> 00:35:32,730
So three time.
1190
00:35:32,730 --> 00:35:35,666
Yeah.
1191
00:35:35,666 --> 00:35:36,601
You know,
1192
00:35:36,601 --> 00:35:38,769
we talked about amount of time too
1193
00:35:38,769 --> 00:35:40,705
to finish a job in the old days
1194
00:35:40,705 --> 00:35:42,173
and that you have a subfloor
1195
00:35:42,173 --> 00:35:43,708
that was a little bit wet
1196
00:35:43,708 --> 00:35:44,642
and he had a wait
1197
00:35:44,642 --> 00:35:46,711
to bring the fans in more blah blah blah.
1198
00:35:47,645 --> 00:35:49,847
Now with one hour 540,
1199
00:35:49,847 --> 00:35:52,717
you can you can cut that time down to
1200
00:35:52,783 --> 00:35:53,851
by you know
1201
00:35:53,851 --> 00:35:55,920
we rarely get optimum conditions
1202
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,022
you can put one CO two that on
1203
00:35:58,022 --> 00:36:00,124
and it cuts your time way
1204
00:36:00,124 --> 00:36:02,293
way down on these and your liability.
1205
00:36:02,293 --> 00:36:03,494
By the way,
1206
00:36:03,561 --> 00:36:04,762
adhesive is so much easier
1207
00:36:04,762 --> 00:36:06,931
to spread than it was years ago.
1208
00:36:06,931 --> 00:36:10,201
So, you know, I think
1209
00:36:10,201 --> 00:36:14,405
that's my hot take.
1210
00:36:14,405 --> 00:36:15,673
Guys in the intermediate
1211
00:36:15,673 --> 00:36:18,843
school were using the stand up trowel
1212
00:36:19,544 --> 00:36:21,946
and were they in the flow?
1213
00:36:21,946 --> 00:36:23,881
Okay.
1214
00:36:23,881 --> 00:36:25,349
Were using the stand up trowel.
1215
00:36:25,349 --> 00:36:27,084
We're using the flow.
1216
00:36:27,084 --> 00:36:28,586
We were setting the
1217
00:36:30,188 --> 00:36:31,989
set in the starter rows
1218
00:36:31,989 --> 00:36:34,592
with the vertical.
1219
00:36:35,927 --> 00:36:37,395
I mean, it's just nice.
1220
00:36:37,395 --> 00:36:37,995
Yeah.
1221
00:36:38,496 --> 00:36:39,096
Yeah, yeah.
1222
00:36:39,096 --> 00:36:40,698
All right, 10 minutes and we're banging,
1223
00:36:40,698 --> 00:36:41,232
you know? Yeah.
1224
00:36:41,232 --> 00:36:43,201
I was just insane.
1225
00:36:43,568 --> 00:36:44,101
Pretty cool.
1226
00:36:44,101 --> 00:36:45,703
And the floor looks spectacular.
1227
00:36:45,703 --> 00:36:46,904
Maybe a
1228
00:36:47,071 --> 00:36:48,606
Chris can put a picture of the floor
1229
00:36:48,606 --> 00:36:49,440
that you guys did
1230
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,075
that herringbone was beautiful.
1231
00:36:51,075 --> 00:36:52,877
Yeah, well, and that's. That's.
1232
00:36:52,877 --> 00:36:53,444
I love the color.
1233
00:36:53,444 --> 00:36:55,613
What color was that, by the way?
1234
00:36:55,846 --> 00:36:58,149
Oh, I think it was Clay.
1235
00:36:58,149 --> 00:37:00,151
Yeah, the beautiful.
1236
00:37:00,151 --> 00:37:00,818
So.
1237
00:37:01,919 --> 00:37:04,689
All right, so there you go.
1238
00:37:05,256 --> 00:37:07,325
That's just what I said.
1239
00:37:07,325 --> 00:37:09,894
That's my hot take. I'm kind of joking.
1240
00:37:09,894 --> 00:37:11,729
I got a list of slang words
1241
00:37:11,729 --> 00:37:13,731
that, you know, to get us up to the,
1242
00:37:13,731 --> 00:37:15,433
you know, 20, 23.
1243
00:37:15,433 --> 00:37:17,902
So we appear more hipper than we are.
1244
00:37:18,603 --> 00:37:19,470
We're just try to work
1245
00:37:19,470 --> 00:37:22,206
some of those words in. Okay, okay.
1246
00:37:23,574 --> 00:37:24,642
So maybe
1247
00:37:24,642 --> 00:37:25,009
the next
1248
00:37:25,009 --> 00:37:27,511
episode, we'll some words in so we can
1249
00:37:28,145 --> 00:37:29,146
all get.
1250
00:37:29,146 --> 00:37:29,847
I thought you were going to
1251
00:37:29,847 --> 00:37:32,316
give them to me now. Or.
1252
00:37:32,316 --> 00:37:35,486
I'll just put you on blast right now.
1253
00:37:35,486 --> 00:37:37,922
Putting me on blast? Yeah.
1254
00:37:37,922 --> 00:37:38,856
What's that?
1255
00:37:39,690 --> 00:37:40,291
To embarrass
1256
00:37:40,291 --> 00:37:41,892
someone publicly over social media
1257
00:37:41,892 --> 00:37:44,729
by denouncing or exposing them.
1258
00:37:44,729 --> 00:37:46,230
I actually didn't know what it meant
1259
00:37:46,230 --> 00:37:47,665
until I read it.
1260
00:37:48,099 --> 00:37:54,872
I just thought I was giving you notice.
1261
00:37:54,872 --> 00:37:55,473
I told you
1262
00:37:55,473 --> 00:37:56,674
don't have time to read emails.
1263
00:37:56,674 --> 00:37:58,876
I was driving, right? Like I won't.
1264
00:37:59,443 --> 00:38:01,445
Yeah, okay.
1265
00:38:01,445 --> 00:38:02,046
So there you go.
1266
00:38:02,046 --> 00:38:02,413
There's a
1267
00:38:02,413 --> 00:38:03,581
there's a little bit of a take on
1268
00:38:03,581 --> 00:38:06,651
the industry is some positive stuff
1269
00:38:06,651 --> 00:38:08,252
that you know.
1270
00:38:08,252 --> 00:38:10,488
Yes, labor is a bit of an issue.
1271
00:38:10,488 --> 00:38:11,722
That's a big issue.
1272
00:38:11,722 --> 00:38:12,623
But there are some other
1273
00:38:12,623 --> 00:38:14,558
there's some positives to it as well.
1274
00:38:14,558 --> 00:38:16,927
So especially for the
1275
00:38:16,927 --> 00:38:18,095
the kind of one or two man
1276
00:38:18,095 --> 00:38:18,696
jobs, I mean,
1277
00:38:18,696 --> 00:38:19,930
if you're trying to get a whole crew
1278
00:38:19,930 --> 00:38:21,932
going 16, 15 guys,
1279
00:38:21,932 --> 00:38:23,267
but some guys are still able to do,
1280
00:38:23,267 --> 00:38:26,237
which is I'm amazed by it. But
1281
00:38:27,271 --> 00:38:27,905
yeah, there's some
1282
00:38:27,905 --> 00:38:29,340
things that just consider
1283
00:38:29,340 --> 00:38:30,074
as we go forward.
1284
00:38:30,074 --> 00:38:33,511
So there you go.
1285
00:38:33,577 --> 00:38:33,911
Rob.
1286
00:38:33,911 --> 00:38:35,112
This has been another episode
1287
00:38:35,112 --> 00:38:37,348
of On the Floor with Wayne and Rob.
1288
00:38:37,348 --> 00:38:39,650
Please stay tuned for another episode.
1289
00:38:39,650 --> 00:38:46,624
Oh.
