How are we doing, Rob?

Thank you sir. Same to you. Yep.

 

13

00:00:24,591 --> 00:00:26,026

14

00:00:26,026 --> 00:00:27,260

but this is our last show

 

15

00:00:27,260 --> 00:00:28,261

16

00:00:28,261 --> 00:00:29,662

00:00:33,066 --> 00:00:33,366

Yeah.

 

20

00:00:33,366 --> 00:00:36,369

Any, any special plans?

 

21

00:00:36,503 --> 00:00:37,704

Well, first of all, this episode

 

22

00:00:37,704 --> 00:00:39,572

is going to be on, oiled floors.

 

23

00:00:39,572 --> 00:00:42,542

So we'll get we'll circle back to that.

 

24

00:00:42,976 --> 00:00:44,110

My wife is going to make

 

25

00:00:44,110 --> 00:00:45,445

me a pumpkin pie,

 

26

00:00:45,445 --> 00:00:47,747

and that's all I care about,

 

27

00:00:47,747 --> 00:00:48,281

that.

 

28

00:00:48,281 --> 00:00:50,417

I always say Judy's a great cook

 

29

00:00:50,417 --> 00:00:51,317

and she is a great cook.

 

30

00:00:51,317 --> 00:00:53,787

But last Thanksgiving, man,

 

31

00:00:53,787 --> 00:00:55,321

I said, all I want is a pumpkin pie.

 

32

00:00:56,589 --> 00:00:57,123

And she.

 

33

00:00:57,123 --> 00:00:58,258

She

 

34

00:00:58,258 --> 00:00:58,591

made a

 

35

00:00:58,591 --> 00:01:01,594

pumpkin pie with store bought crust.

 

36

00:01:01,628 --> 00:01:01,995

And she's.

 

37

00:01:01,995 --> 00:01:04,030

That's not like her at all, man.

 

38

00:01:04,030 --> 00:01:06,199

And I way

 

39

00:01:06,199 --> 00:01:06,966

and I'm always

 

40

00:01:06,966 --> 00:01:08,868

I always tell her everything is great

 

41

00:01:08,868 --> 00:01:09,803

and it is great.

 

42

00:01:09,803 --> 00:01:11,271

She always is a great cook.

 

43

00:01:11,271 --> 00:01:13,973

But, she goes, did you like the pie?

 

44

00:01:13,973 --> 00:01:15,475

Yeah.

 

45

00:01:15,475 --> 00:01:18,478

I said, but,

 

46

00:01:18,912 --> 00:01:20,847

you didn't make real crust.

 

47

00:01:20,847 --> 00:01:22,282

I mean, it's not like you.

 

48

00:01:22,282 --> 00:01:23,883

She goes, yo, man, you noticed that?

 

49

00:01:23,883 --> 00:01:24,551

I go, yeah.

 

50

00:01:24,551 --> 00:01:26,319

And of course I noticed that too.

 

51

00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:26,986

I'm sorry.

 

52

00:01:26,986 --> 00:01:29,122

I said, well, you know, I apologize.

 

53

00:01:29,122 --> 00:01:29,823

Whatever.

 

54

00:01:29,823 --> 00:01:30,423

But anyhow,

 

55

00:01:30,423 --> 00:01:31,091

so this year, she's

 

56

00:01:31,091 --> 00:01:32,125

going to make me a pecan

 

57

00:01:32,125 --> 00:01:33,159

and not a pecan pie.

 

58

00:01:33,159 --> 00:01:34,994

God, I love pecan pie.

 

59

00:01:34,994 --> 00:01:36,362

Do I love pecan pie?

 

60

00:01:36,362 --> 00:01:37,564

Holy smokes.

 

61

00:01:37,564 --> 00:01:38,898

But she's going to make me,

 

62

00:01:38,898 --> 00:01:39,532

a pumpkin pie,

 

63

00:01:39,532 --> 00:01:41,401

which is probably my second favorite pie.

 

64

00:01:41,401 --> 00:01:44,137

I didn't know you were a pecan pie guy.

 

65

00:01:44,137 --> 00:01:45,939

Oh, do I love pecan pie?

 

66

00:01:45,939 --> 00:01:46,906

All right, I'm going to head

 

67

00:01:46,906 --> 00:01:48,908

pulling, making. I'll send you one.

 

68

00:01:48,908 --> 00:01:49,943

Are you kidding me?

 

69

00:01:49,943 --> 00:01:51,044

Swear to God.

 

70

00:01:51,044 --> 00:01:52,679

Oh, man. I swear to God

 

71

00:01:53,646 --> 00:01:55,448

she makes a good one.

 

72

00:01:55,448 --> 00:01:57,217

Yeah, okay.

 

73

00:01:57,217 --> 00:01:58,351

I'm not a fan of it.

 

74

00:01:58,351 --> 00:02:00,587

I'm not a fan of pecan pie.

 

75

00:02:00,587 --> 00:02:01,554

Oh, man, I love it.

 

76

00:02:01,554 --> 00:02:02,122

Okay.

 

77

00:02:02,122 --> 00:02:03,723

It's okay, you know?

 

78

00:02:03,723 --> 00:02:05,258

But,

 

79

00:02:05,258 --> 00:02:06,693

some people in my family

 

80

00:02:06,693 --> 00:02:09,696

are big fans of it, and they just.

 

81

00:02:09,696 --> 00:02:12,298

They lose it over Pauline's.

 

82

00:02:12,298 --> 00:02:12,899

What's your.

 

83

00:02:12,899 --> 00:02:14,834

Oh, Judy, tell Judy it's not a,

 

84

00:02:14,834 --> 00:02:17,403

you know, competition. No, just.

 

85

00:02:17,403 --> 00:02:18,204

Yeah.

 

86

00:02:18,204 --> 00:02:20,406

Bowling round, a decent recipe.

 

87

00:02:20,406 --> 00:02:22,175

And,

 

88

00:02:22,175 --> 00:02:24,844

she does a real good one.

 

89

00:02:24,844 --> 00:02:25,612

What?

 

90

00:02:25,612 --> 00:02:27,313

What's your favorite pie?

 

91

00:02:27,313 --> 00:02:28,982

Banana cream.

 

92

00:02:28,982 --> 00:02:31,651

Oh, yeah.

 

93

00:02:31,651 --> 00:02:33,186

That's not a real pie.

 

94

00:02:33,186 --> 00:02:34,621

That is real pie.

 

95

00:02:34,621 --> 00:02:35,955

Absolutely.

 

96

00:02:35,955 --> 00:02:38,958

And every Thanksgiving and Christmas,

 

97

00:02:39,492 --> 00:02:41,761

I make banana cream pie for the family.

 

98

00:02:41,761 --> 00:02:42,729

Everybody.

 

99

00:02:42,729 --> 00:02:44,731

The showstopper. Showstopper.

 

100

00:02:44,731 --> 00:02:45,932

I'm going to shut up then,

 

101

00:02:45,932 --> 00:02:47,100

because your

 

102

00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:50,103

your your spaghetti was off the charts.

 

103

00:02:50,904 --> 00:02:52,405

So if you say you make a good pie,

 

104

00:02:52,405 --> 00:02:53,373

I'm not going to doubt you.

 

105

00:02:53,373 --> 00:02:54,841

Your spaghetti was incredible.

 

106

00:02:55,842 --> 00:02:58,244

All right.

 

107

00:02:58,244 --> 00:03:00,013

Judy's got to make you,

 

108

00:03:00,013 --> 00:03:01,080

Judy makes it incredible.

 

109

00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,348

Pie. Or cheesecake?

 

110

00:03:02,348 --> 00:03:03,483

I don't even like cheesecake.

 

111

00:03:03,483 --> 00:03:06,486

Or cheesecake is absolutely

 

112

00:03:06,586 --> 00:03:08,087

incredible.

 

113

00:03:08,087 --> 00:03:09,289

As is her cherry pies.

 

114

00:03:09,289 --> 00:03:10,957

So, yeah. That's it.

 

115

00:03:10,957 --> 00:03:12,926

So did she make you a whole turkey

 

116

00:03:12,926 --> 00:03:14,527

and all that stuff? Or is just.

 

117

00:03:14,527 --> 00:03:15,461

Just no pie?

 

118

00:03:15,461 --> 00:03:17,363

When you said, I just want pumpkin pie,

 

119

00:03:17,363 --> 00:03:17,997

that's what I'm getting.

 

120

00:03:17,997 --> 00:03:21,000

I should have been more specific.

 

121

00:03:21,100 --> 00:03:22,802

No, we're going to happy Thanksgiving.

 

122

00:03:22,802 --> 00:03:23,703

Yeah, yeah,

 

123

00:03:23,703 --> 00:03:24,571

we're going to our friends

 

124

00:03:24,571 --> 00:03:26,673

house, this year for Thanksgiving. So.

 

125

00:03:26,673 --> 00:03:27,540

And there's just the two of us.

 

126

00:03:27,540 --> 00:03:28,608

So there's no point making a

 

127

00:03:28,608 --> 00:03:29,409

if we're going to do that,

 

128

00:03:29,409 --> 00:03:30,143

make it a turkey

 

129

00:03:30,143 --> 00:03:32,178

that'll hang around for a long time.

 

130

00:03:32,178 --> 00:03:34,514

So what are you going to bring.

 

131

00:03:34,514 --> 00:03:36,783

Mashed potatoes okay.

 

132

00:03:36,783 --> 00:03:38,218

They get they gave you something to do.

 

133

00:03:39,185 --> 00:03:40,820

Well, Judy is making mashed

 

134

00:03:40,820 --> 00:03:41,654

I thought I was going to help.

 

135

00:03:41,654 --> 00:03:43,623

There's like 20 people going to be there,

 

136

00:03:43,623 --> 00:03:46,593

so it's a lot of mashed potatoes, but,

 

137

00:03:46,693 --> 00:03:48,494

so there you go.

 

138

00:03:48,494 --> 00:03:51,531

There's a good Irish, butter

 

139

00:03:51,931 --> 00:03:53,533

in a is the key.

 

140

00:03:53,533 --> 00:03:54,567

20 people.

 

141

00:03:54,567 --> 00:03:56,302

That's a lot.

 

142

00:03:56,302 --> 00:03:57,870

That's a big Thanksgiving.

 

143

00:03:57,870 --> 00:04:00,106

Yeah. Yep.

 

144

00:04:00,106 --> 00:04:03,243

Okay, so, I got a lot of information

 

145

00:04:03,243 --> 00:04:05,511

in my head, and,

 

146

00:04:05,511 --> 00:04:07,046

I didn't want to waste it all.

 

147

00:04:07,046 --> 00:04:08,548

We know that

 

148

00:04:08,548 --> 00:04:11,351

I had to do a presentation on,

 

149

00:04:11,351 --> 00:04:13,886

On,

 

150

00:04:13,886 --> 00:04:16,189

UV cured oil flaws

 

151

00:04:16,189 --> 00:04:17,190

and how to maintain them

 

152

00:04:17,190 --> 00:04:18,291

and stuff like that.

 

153

00:04:18,291 --> 00:04:19,759

So I brought the.

 

154

00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:21,160

It's a kind of a narrow lane

 

155

00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,996

to put someone like me in,

 

156

00:04:22,996 --> 00:04:24,430

like I got information.

 

157

00:04:24,430 --> 00:04:25,531

Somebody like you.

 

158

00:04:25,531 --> 00:04:26,299

Yeah, yeah.

 

159

00:04:26,299 --> 00:04:28,868

So I opened it up to, a lot,

 

160

00:04:28,868 --> 00:04:30,003

a little bit different.

 

161

00:04:30,003 --> 00:04:31,871

So I'll just kind of go with that.

 

162

00:04:31,871 --> 00:04:32,405

And I'm just going to.

 

163

00:04:32,405 --> 00:04:34,741

I'm just to throw out everything I know

 

164

00:04:34,741 --> 00:04:36,576

about these flaws.

 

165

00:04:36,576 --> 00:04:37,410

I'm gonna give a shout out

 

166

00:04:37,410 --> 00:04:38,311

to Carl Mattingly,

 

167

00:04:39,879 --> 00:04:41,414

who's an inspector in California.

 

168

00:04:41,414 --> 00:04:43,683

I asked him,

 

169

00:04:43,683 --> 00:04:44,250

a question.

 

170

00:04:44,250 --> 00:04:45,151

He responded,

 

171

00:04:45,151 --> 00:04:46,286

I'll, I'll share that information

 

172

00:04:46,286 --> 00:04:48,087

with you as well. Okay.

 

173

00:04:48,087 --> 00:04:50,456

So

 

174

00:04:50,456 --> 00:04:52,625

oil flaws.

 

175

00:04:52,625 --> 00:04:54,961

It's interesting because oil flaws,

 

176

00:04:54,961 --> 00:04:56,596

the technology really dates

 

177

00:04:56,596 --> 00:04:58,197

back to the 1800s.

 

178

00:04:58,197 --> 00:04:59,265

I told you, the last episode,

 

179

00:04:59,265 --> 00:05:00,733

my wife and I were,

 

180

00:05:00,733 --> 00:05:02,402

we had lunch in this hotel

 

181

00:05:02,402 --> 00:05:05,104

at 190 year old. The original floors.

 

182

00:05:05,104 --> 00:05:06,439

And I'm sure that those floors

 

183

00:05:06,439 --> 00:05:07,106

back in those days

 

184

00:05:07,106 --> 00:05:09,509

with probably a linseed oil,

 

185

00:05:09,509 --> 00:05:10,610

linseed oil would get

 

186

00:05:10,610 --> 00:05:10,943

you know,

 

187

00:05:10,943 --> 00:05:12,979

it's a really thin, product

 

188

00:05:12,979 --> 00:05:13,646

we get

 

189

00:05:13,646 --> 00:05:15,048

right down in natural product,

 

190

00:05:15,048 --> 00:05:17,116

we get right down into all the all the,

 

191

00:05:17,116 --> 00:05:18,418

pores of the wood

 

192

00:05:18,418 --> 00:05:20,019

fill the pores of the wood,

 

193

00:05:20,019 --> 00:05:21,421

and then likely they would have

 

194

00:05:21,421 --> 00:05:22,188

they would have hand

 

195

00:05:22,188 --> 00:05:23,022

wax to the floors

 

196

00:05:23,022 --> 00:05:25,325

with beeswax on top of them.

 

197

00:05:25,325 --> 00:05:27,560

And that was that was technology.

 

198

00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,095

And they did a fantastic

 

199

00:05:29,095 --> 00:05:30,963

job, was a lot of upkeep.

 

200

00:05:30,963 --> 00:05:33,433

But where I came to know

 

201

00:05:33,433 --> 00:05:36,202

oil floors was like in the 1990s,

 

202

00:05:36,202 --> 00:05:38,671

and I remember the first generation

 

203

00:05:38,671 --> 00:05:40,740

that came over was,

 

204

00:05:40,740 --> 00:05:42,408

like a single single component.

 

205

00:05:44,077 --> 00:05:45,812

Your, your,

 

206

00:05:45,812 --> 00:05:48,247

hardware, wax floors,

 

207

00:05:48,247 --> 00:05:50,283

and they dried by oxygen.

 

208

00:05:50,283 --> 00:05:51,351

That's how they dry.

 

209

00:05:51,351 --> 00:05:54,087

So they took a long time to dry,

 

210

00:05:54,087 --> 00:05:55,121

and,

 

211

00:05:55,121 --> 00:05:57,323

they didn't really hold up to

 

212

00:05:57,323 --> 00:05:59,459

chemical spills and water very well.

 

213

00:05:59,459 --> 00:06:00,960

And I'm. I'm an early adopter.

 

214

00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:01,361

You know,

 

215

00:06:01,361 --> 00:06:02,929

I jumped on is pretty quick

 

216

00:06:02,929 --> 00:06:05,365

because I like the idea

 

217

00:06:05,365 --> 00:06:07,233

or the benefits of these floral floors

 

218

00:06:07,233 --> 00:06:07,567

is you're

 

219

00:06:07,567 --> 00:06:09,001

actually there's not a surface

 

220

00:06:09,001 --> 00:06:10,636

film on top of it.

 

221

00:06:10,636 --> 00:06:12,405

Like if you take,

 

222

00:06:12,405 --> 00:06:13,873

like, polyurethane.

 

223

00:06:13,873 --> 00:06:14,974

Florida's like,

 

224

00:06:14,974 --> 00:06:16,376

like an umbrella on top of the floor,

 

225

00:06:16,376 --> 00:06:18,211

like a surface on top of the floor.

 

226

00:06:18,211 --> 00:06:20,613

Whereas, these floors, you're

 

227

00:06:20,613 --> 00:06:22,014

the oil is just

 

228

00:06:22,014 --> 00:06:22,815

it goes

 

229

00:06:22,815 --> 00:06:24,016

into all the pores of the wood,

 

230

00:06:24,016 --> 00:06:24,884

and you're just.

 

231

00:06:24,884 --> 00:06:25,885

And it fills the pores

 

232

00:06:25,885 --> 00:06:26,853

and you just walking on it.

 

233

00:06:26,853 --> 00:06:27,987

Natural product,

 

234

00:06:27,987 --> 00:06:29,756

very low sheen, very sexy look.

 

235

00:06:29,756 --> 00:06:30,923

Right,

 

236

00:06:30,923 --> 00:06:31,557

I got to

 

237

00:06:31,557 --> 00:06:32,692

we kind of get away from it

 

238

00:06:32,692 --> 00:06:34,394

after a short amount of time.

 

239

00:06:34,394 --> 00:06:35,628

Back then because of the issues

 

240

00:06:35,628 --> 00:06:36,929

that I talked about,

 

241

00:06:36,929 --> 00:06:38,097

I didn't feel like I

 

242

00:06:38,097 --> 00:06:38,931

also I feel like I said,

 

243

00:06:38,931 --> 00:06:39,966

you're getting the whole world

 

244

00:06:39,966 --> 00:06:40,566

on how to now

 

245

00:06:40,566 --> 00:06:41,734

walk on your hardwood floors,

 

246

00:06:41,734 --> 00:06:42,368

because that's the way

 

247

00:06:42,368 --> 00:06:43,136

they did it in Europe.

 

248

00:06:44,771 --> 00:06:46,739

And because they

 

249

00:06:46,739 --> 00:06:48,374

took a long time to dry and cure

 

250

00:06:48,374 --> 00:06:49,275

and all these other things.

 

251

00:06:49,275 --> 00:06:50,410

So wait, wait a minute.

 

252

00:06:50,410 --> 00:06:52,378

You were educating

 

253

00:06:52,378 --> 00:06:54,180

your customers back in California

 

254

00:06:54,180 --> 00:06:56,082

that you were doing these floors for?

 

255

00:06:56,082 --> 00:06:58,818

Yes. Okay. Yeah. Okay.

 

256

00:06:58,818 --> 00:06:59,152

Yeah.

 

257

00:06:59,152 --> 00:07:00,186

So we have to

 

258

00:07:00,186 --> 00:07:00,553

I mean that's

 

259

00:07:00,553 --> 00:07:01,788

what went well against that later.

 

260

00:07:01,788 --> 00:07:03,689

But this these floors require

 

261

00:07:03,689 --> 00:07:06,058

some education up front.

 

262

00:07:06,058 --> 00:07:09,061

So shortly thereafter,

 

263

00:07:09,395 --> 00:07:11,664

somebody said, well, somebody

 

264

00:07:11,664 --> 00:07:13,399

the reason wearing a heart oil wax

 

265

00:07:13,399 --> 00:07:15,168

came about, to my knowledge.

 

266

00:07:15,168 --> 00:07:16,202

Anyhow,

 

267

00:07:16,202 --> 00:07:17,069

if somebody figured out

 

268

00:07:17,069 --> 00:07:18,738

how to take the wax in the,

 

269

00:07:18,738 --> 00:07:20,373

and the oil and mix them together

 

270

00:07:20,373 --> 00:07:22,175

in one, in one,

 

271

00:07:22,175 --> 00:07:24,076

one go instead of, you know,

 

272

00:07:24,076 --> 00:07:24,644

using the oil

 

273

00:07:24,644 --> 00:07:27,213

and putting the wax behind it. Okay.

 

274

00:07:27,213 --> 00:07:28,281

But then they came

 

275

00:07:28,281 --> 00:07:29,315

out with the two components.

 

276

00:07:30,516 --> 00:07:31,050

Now, the two

 

277

00:07:31,050 --> 00:07:32,285

components were interesting to me

 

278

00:07:32,285 --> 00:07:35,121

because they dried by two different ways.

 

279

00:07:35,121 --> 00:07:36,422

They dried by oxygen,

 

280

00:07:36,422 --> 00:07:36,789

like the,

 

281

00:07:36,789 --> 00:07:37,790

like the single components,

 

282

00:07:37,790 --> 00:07:40,793

but they also dried by, by

 

283

00:07:41,427 --> 00:07:42,595

a chemical reaction,

 

284

00:07:42,595 --> 00:07:42,962

usually a

 

285

00:07:42,962 --> 00:07:44,297

I was saying that,

 

286

00:07:44,297 --> 00:07:46,999

hey, are you breathing?

 

287

00:07:46,999 --> 00:07:48,401

Are you breathing?

 

288

00:07:48,401 --> 00:07:51,671

No, no, I'm actually holding my breath.

 

289

00:07:52,138 --> 00:07:53,005

Okay?

 

290

00:07:53,005 --> 00:07:54,474

Because I can hear you breathing.

 

291

00:07:54,474 --> 00:07:55,875

It's weird.

 

292

00:07:55,875 --> 00:07:58,878

It's bugging me.

 

293

00:07:59,245 --> 00:08:01,981

So.

 

294

00:08:01,981 --> 00:08:04,984

So,

 

295

00:08:04,984 --> 00:08:07,019

breathing bugs me.

 

296

00:08:07,019 --> 00:08:09,255

Rob, you're breathing.

 

297

00:08:09,255 --> 00:08:11,691

Sustaining life is annoying me.

 

298

00:08:11,691 --> 00:08:12,658

From one time

 

299

00:08:12,658 --> 00:08:14,393

when I was about 13 years old, I was.

 

300

00:08:14,393 --> 00:08:16,362

I was, my brother, and I was.

 

301

00:08:16,362 --> 00:08:16,996

We're going to.

 

302

00:08:16,996 --> 00:08:18,598

We live in a small town in Kentucky.

 

303

00:08:18,598 --> 00:08:19,999

We are going to go downtown,

 

304

00:08:19,999 --> 00:08:23,002

which is not much of a down.

 

305

00:08:24,871 --> 00:08:27,840

Keep going.

 

306

00:08:32,111 --> 00:08:33,613

Once, we were,

 

307

00:08:33,613 --> 00:08:34,680

we were kids living in Kentucky.

 

308

00:08:34,680 --> 00:08:35,882

I was 13 years old.

 

309

00:08:35,882 --> 00:08:36,782

We'd put my brother,

 

310

00:08:36,782 --> 00:08:38,584

my brother at about 15 or 16.

 

311

00:08:39,652 --> 00:08:41,554

We are walking downtown

 

312

00:08:41,554 --> 00:08:42,321

and he looks over to me

 

313

00:08:42,321 --> 00:08:43,022

and he goes

 

314

00:08:43,022 --> 00:08:43,756

walking on the other side

 

315

00:08:43,756 --> 00:08:46,759

of the sidewalk.

 

316

00:08:47,693 --> 00:08:49,061

I go, what?

 

317

00:08:49,061 --> 00:08:50,029

He goes, you heard me

 

318

00:08:50,029 --> 00:08:51,297

walk on the other side of the sidewalk.

 

319

00:08:51,297 --> 00:08:52,965

We we're going together downtown,

 

320

00:08:52,965 --> 00:08:55,468

the same place I go. Why?

 

321

00:08:55,468 --> 00:08:58,471

He said, because you're too fat.

 

322

00:09:09,015 --> 00:09:11,884

Just for just some brotherly love there.

 

323

00:09:11,884 --> 00:09:13,119

Yeah, absolutely.

 

324

00:09:13,119 --> 00:09:15,221

You gotta love that.

 

325

00:09:15,221 --> 00:09:18,224

So,

 

326

00:09:19,091 --> 00:09:22,094

mom said I was husky, so you know.

 

327

00:09:22,261 --> 00:09:23,162

Yeah.

 

328

00:09:23,162 --> 00:09:25,731

So anyhow, so, then

 

329

00:09:25,731 --> 00:09:27,934

you have to shop in the Husky section

 

330

00:09:27,934 --> 00:09:29,068

I did. Yeah.

 

331

00:09:29,068 --> 00:09:30,636

Sam, that's,

 

332

00:09:30,636 --> 00:09:32,371

that's where you and I probably met.

 

333

00:09:32,371 --> 00:09:32,638

Yeah.

 

334

00:09:32,638 --> 00:09:33,472

As soon as my mom said

 

335

00:09:33,472 --> 00:09:34,740

when these are fit, you their size.

 

336

00:09:34,740 --> 00:09:35,174

Husky.

 

337

00:09:35,174 --> 00:09:37,777

That was it for my brother's husky.

 

338

00:09:37,777 --> 00:09:39,879

My brothers would never let that go.

 

339

00:09:39,879 --> 00:09:41,981

Oh. Where's husky? That

 

340

00:09:43,449 --> 00:09:44,050

was husky.

 

341

00:09:44,050 --> 00:09:47,053

A husky.

 

342

00:09:47,286 --> 00:09:47,820

You know, there's

 

343

00:09:47,820 --> 00:09:48,387

you see,

 

344

00:09:48,387 --> 00:09:50,222

they don't do that to kids anymore.

 

345

00:09:50,222 --> 00:09:53,025

Now there is no husky section

 

346

00:09:53,025 --> 00:09:55,194

now, isn't there?

 

347

00:09:55,194 --> 00:09:55,861

No.

 

348

00:09:55,861 --> 00:09:58,831

I mean, the clothing stores now, the.

 

349

00:09:59,398 --> 00:10:00,333

There's no husky.

 

350

00:10:00,333 --> 00:10:02,168

Well, there is for the big guys.

 

351

00:10:02,168 --> 00:10:03,903

Big, you know, big, big and tall.

 

352

00:10:03,903 --> 00:10:05,538

Yeah, they can tall or,

 

353

00:10:05,538 --> 00:10:07,273

you know, big section.

 

354

00:10:07,273 --> 00:10:08,808

They think they've even taken those

 

355

00:10:08,808 --> 00:10:09,842

signs down.

 

356

00:10:09,842 --> 00:10:11,877

You get a kind of, look for that stuff.

 

357

00:10:11,877 --> 00:10:12,511

Okay.

 

358

00:10:12,511 --> 00:10:13,879

But those signs were up

 

359

00:10:13,879 --> 00:10:15,247

when we were kids. Husky.

 

360

00:10:15,247 --> 00:10:15,881

Oh, absolutely.

 

361

00:10:15,881 --> 00:10:17,483

They were over here. Chunky.

 

362

00:10:17,483 --> 00:10:18,451

Yeah. Yeah yeah.

 

363

00:10:18,451 --> 00:10:21,120

You know. Yeah.

 

364

00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,922

Not only

 

365

00:10:22,922 --> 00:10:23,990

are you going to shop there

 

366

00:10:23,990 --> 00:10:26,325

but we're going to put a big sign up,

 

367

00:10:26,325 --> 00:10:28,828

say you're very large

 

368

00:10:28,828 --> 00:10:31,263

and you can't shop with the normal kids.

 

369

00:10:31,263 --> 00:10:32,264

We'll traumatize you

 

370

00:10:32,264 --> 00:10:34,800

right off the bat right. Yeah. Yeah.

 

371

00:10:36,836 --> 00:10:39,271

This is a scale.

 

372

00:10:39,271 --> 00:10:40,239

All right.

 

373

00:10:40,239 --> 00:10:41,774

So

 

374

00:10:41,774 --> 00:10:43,175

then it came out the two components

 

375

00:10:43,175 --> 00:10:44,644

and the two components were interesting

 

376

00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:45,211

because they did

 

377

00:10:45,211 --> 00:10:45,611

they took

 

378

00:10:45,611 --> 00:10:46,712

they dragged in two different ways.

 

379

00:10:46,712 --> 00:10:47,947

They dried by oxygen,

 

380

00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:49,248

but they also dried by

 

381

00:10:49,248 --> 00:10:50,983

the chemical reaction was easier,

 

382

00:10:50,983 --> 00:10:52,284

nicer saying eight.

 

383

00:10:52,284 --> 00:10:53,853

But they held up the chemicals

 

384

00:10:53,853 --> 00:10:54,320

much better.

 

385

00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,389

They hold up the spills much better.

 

386

00:10:56,389 --> 00:10:59,392

And then I then that was in.

 

387

00:10:59,525 --> 00:10:59,825

All right.

 

388

00:10:59,825 --> 00:11:01,627

I like, that was a, that was a cool look.

 

389

00:11:01,627 --> 00:11:02,762

I liked everything about that

 

390

00:11:02,762 --> 00:11:04,397

and whatever.

 

391

00:11:04,397 --> 00:11:05,631

But then it was eight week

 

392

00:11:05,631 --> 00:11:07,733

before you get cranking here. Okay.

 

393

00:11:07,733 --> 00:11:10,403

So when you first did oil floors,

 

394

00:11:10,403 --> 00:11:12,104

what was that like 90s.

 

395

00:11:12,104 --> 00:11:13,172

It was in the 90s.

 

396

00:11:13,172 --> 00:11:14,340

Yeah. Early 90s.

 

397

00:11:14,340 --> 00:11:17,510

So in the 90s you had to put the oil down

 

398

00:11:18,678 --> 00:11:20,413

and then put a coat of wax on top.

 

399

00:11:20,413 --> 00:11:22,381

No, no no, no.

 

400

00:11:22,381 --> 00:11:23,349

Because that

 

401

00:11:23,349 --> 00:11:26,352

when they when they came over here,

 

402

00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:27,820

someone had figured out

 

403

00:11:27,820 --> 00:11:30,056

how to put the oil in the wax together

 

404

00:11:30,056 --> 00:11:31,157

to come out with this product.

 

405

00:11:31,157 --> 00:11:32,124

So you no longer you

 

406

00:11:32,124 --> 00:11:33,359

no longer had it,

 

407

00:11:33,359 --> 00:11:34,326

didn't see the oil down first

 

408

00:11:34,326 --> 00:11:36,429

and then come up behind it with wax.

 

409

00:11:36,429 --> 00:11:38,497

So after they come out

 

410

00:11:38,497 --> 00:11:40,499

with the two components,

 

411

00:11:40,499 --> 00:11:43,202

they came out with the UV cured,

 

412

00:11:43,202 --> 00:11:45,905

your, oil flaws.

 

413

00:11:45,905 --> 00:11:48,874

Now, be aware that

 

414

00:11:48,874 --> 00:11:49,642

when they introduce

 

415

00:11:49,642 --> 00:11:50,876

that process, they introduce

 

416

00:11:50,876 --> 00:11:53,012

acrylic into the mix.

 

417

00:11:53,012 --> 00:11:53,646

Now, acrylic

 

418

00:11:53,646 --> 00:11:55,448

is one of the major components

 

419

00:11:55,448 --> 00:11:57,283

that's added to like a,

 

420

00:11:57,283 --> 00:11:58,851

a urethane finish.

 

421

00:11:58,851 --> 00:12:01,287

So sometimes

 

422

00:12:01,287 --> 00:12:02,988

they can have more of a surface

 

423

00:12:02,988 --> 00:12:05,791

film look to them. You know what I mean?

 

424

00:12:05,791 --> 00:12:07,393

Almost like a polyurethane looks,

 

425

00:12:07,393 --> 00:12:08,461

depending on how much acrylic

 

426

00:12:08,461 --> 00:12:10,062

they put in the floor.

 

427

00:12:10,062 --> 00:12:11,731

And, you've carried them,

 

428

00:12:11,731 --> 00:12:13,399

which is nice because you don't

 

429

00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:14,600

you're not introducing

 

430

00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:15,568

that they

 

431

00:12:15,568 --> 00:12:16,502

they're cured right away

 

432

00:12:16,502 --> 00:12:18,170

when you install them. And,

 

433

00:12:20,372 --> 00:12:23,042

sometimes a little tougher to touch up.

 

434

00:12:23,042 --> 00:12:24,310

And so that was my introduce

 

435

00:12:24,310 --> 00:12:26,679

introduction to these types of floors.

 

436

00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,314

Now

 

437

00:12:28,314 --> 00:12:31,117

I'm going to go over

 

438

00:12:31,117 --> 00:12:33,085

everything that can go wrong

 

439

00:12:33,085 --> 00:12:35,354

with one of these floors okay okay.

 

440

00:12:35,354 --> 00:12:36,355

And it's not to say there's

 

441

00:12:36,355 --> 00:12:38,124

anything bad about them,

 

442

00:12:38,124 --> 00:12:39,091

but and I

 

443

00:12:39,091 --> 00:12:40,292

and I like I said,

 

444

00:12:40,292 --> 00:12:41,694

I talked to an inspector about this.

 

445

00:12:41,694 --> 00:12:42,061

I said,

 

446

00:12:42,061 --> 00:12:42,895

I said here, I'm

 

447

00:12:42,895 --> 00:12:44,864

going to give you my $0.02.

 

448

00:12:44,864 --> 00:12:46,365

He gave me his $0.02.

 

449

00:12:46,365 --> 00:12:48,234

And this is my list of what can go wrong

 

450

00:12:48,234 --> 00:12:49,468

with these types of floors.

 

451

00:12:49,468 --> 00:12:50,669

And, and I do this

 

452

00:12:50,669 --> 00:12:52,638

to keep you out of trouble. Okay.

 

453

00:12:52,638 --> 00:12:53,606

Wait a minute.

 

454

00:12:53,606 --> 00:12:56,475

Yes, sir.

 

455

00:12:56,475 --> 00:12:58,477

Now, you said you were in a very narrow

 

456

00:12:58,477 --> 00:13:01,480

lane here. Yes. Right.

 

457

00:13:01,714 --> 00:13:04,850

And you're talking about UV cured oil.

 

458

00:13:04,850 --> 00:13:06,886

Floors are correct.

 

459

00:13:06,886 --> 00:13:07,987

Natural oil.

 

460

00:13:07,987 --> 00:13:11,190

You've cured not like craft oil too.

 

461

00:13:11,190 --> 00:13:12,424

Okay.

 

462

00:13:12,424 --> 00:13:13,325

No, I'm.

 

463

00:13:13,325 --> 00:13:14,994

We're talking those products.

 

464

00:13:14,994 --> 00:13:16,162

I'm going to talk. Okay.

 

465

00:13:16,162 --> 00:13:17,396

I'm glad you said that

 

466

00:13:17,396 --> 00:13:18,931

because now I'm going to go back into

 

467

00:13:19,932 --> 00:13:21,901

oil floors in general.

 

468

00:13:21,901 --> 00:13:22,301

Okay.

 

469

00:13:22,301 --> 00:13:24,103

What can go wrong with oil

 

470

00:13:24,103 --> 00:13:26,872

floors in general? Okay. Yeah.

 

471

00:13:26,872 --> 00:13:29,074

I'm kind of like a traffic cop with you.

 

472

00:13:29,074 --> 00:13:30,075

You are?

 

473

00:13:30,075 --> 00:13:30,442

Yeah.

 

474

00:13:30,442 --> 00:13:32,545

Yeah yeah, I got I got it.

 

475

00:13:32,545 --> 00:13:33,879

Yeah.

 

476

00:13:33,879 --> 00:13:35,581

Almost like a collie dog.

 

477

00:13:35,581 --> 00:13:36,882

A border collie sheepherder.

 

478

00:13:36,882 --> 00:13:38,217

Yeah yeah yeah, yeah.

 

479

00:13:38,217 --> 00:13:39,451

Exactly like Joseph.

 

480

00:13:39,451 --> 00:13:40,052

Yeah.

 

481

00:13:40,052 --> 00:13:42,688

Put me back in my lane. Exactly.

 

482

00:13:42,688 --> 00:13:43,689

There you go.

 

483

00:13:43,689 --> 00:13:44,924

Because I thought we were.

 

484

00:13:44,924 --> 00:13:45,858

You were just.

 

485

00:13:45,858 --> 00:13:47,726

And I was thinking to myself.

 

486

00:13:47,726 --> 00:13:50,729

Why are we picking such a narrow

 

487

00:13:51,630 --> 00:13:54,366

subject here if you've cured oil floors?

 

488

00:13:54,366 --> 00:13:55,434

I didn't even know there was.

 

489

00:13:55,434 --> 00:13:57,336

You've cured oil flaws.

 

490

00:13:57,336 --> 00:13:58,204

Well,

 

491

00:13:58,204 --> 00:14:00,105

and I think maybe maybe it's confusing,

 

492

00:14:00,105 --> 00:14:01,040

because that's what I was asked

 

493

00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:02,875

to speak about. Okay.

 

494

00:14:02,875 --> 00:14:05,611

And so now I opened it up to so that,

 

495

00:14:05,611 --> 00:14:05,845

yeah,

 

496

00:14:05,845 --> 00:14:06,679

I of everything

 

497

00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:07,980

that you could have talked about in

 

498

00:14:07,980 --> 00:14:09,481

the wood floor industry,

 

499

00:14:10,883 --> 00:14:13,619

the Wayne Highlander.

 

500

00:14:13,619 --> 00:14:15,654

The Wayne Highlander.

 

501

00:14:15,654 --> 00:14:16,322

Yeah.

 

502

00:14:16,322 --> 00:14:17,990

That's what they want you to talk about.

 

503

00:14:17,990 --> 00:14:18,791

Yeah.

 

504

00:14:18,791 --> 00:14:21,794

Yeah I know very rarely

 

505

00:14:22,394 --> 00:14:24,563

did you see anything like.

 

506

00:14:24,563 --> 00:14:25,497

Well I wanted to say

 

507

00:14:25,497 --> 00:14:25,998

well how about if

 

508

00:14:25,998 --> 00:14:29,001

I just talk about satin finish

 

509

00:14:29,268 --> 00:14:31,003

applying satin finish.

 

510

00:14:31,003 --> 00:14:33,572

But I, I rolled with it.

 

511

00:14:33,572 --> 00:14:34,740

So.

 

512

00:14:34,740 --> 00:14:37,743

Okay this is what can go wrong okay.

 

513

00:14:37,943 --> 00:14:40,713

Let's say this is over like 20 years of

 

514

00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:42,882

of of research for the inspector

 

515

00:14:42,882 --> 00:14:44,884

and all and always.

 

516

00:14:44,884 --> 00:14:47,219

And here's the bottom line.

 

517

00:14:47,219 --> 00:14:49,221

It almost always comes down

 

518

00:14:49,221 --> 00:14:52,091

to maintenance. Okay.

 

519

00:14:52,091 --> 00:14:53,792

But I'm going to give you number one.

 

520

00:14:53,792 --> 00:14:56,762

And number one is that the point of sale

 

521

00:14:57,129 --> 00:14:57,963

okay.

 

522

00:14:57,963 --> 00:14:59,431

Where you have the homeowner

 

523

00:14:59,431 --> 00:15:00,532

in front of you

 

524

00:15:00,532 --> 00:15:03,903

and, you don't explain that these are not

 

525

00:15:05,070 --> 00:15:06,605

no maintenance floors,

 

526

00:15:06,605 --> 00:15:08,040

but they're they're,

 

527

00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:08,641

you know,

 

528

00:15:08,641 --> 00:15:09,909

some maintenance floors

 

529

00:15:09,909 --> 00:15:11,410

is involved with these products.

 

530

00:15:11,410 --> 00:15:11,710

Okay.

 

531

00:15:11,710 --> 00:15:12,511

You you really need

 

532

00:15:12,511 --> 00:15:13,245

I think you need to have

 

533

00:15:13,245 --> 00:15:14,013

that conversation.

 

534

00:15:14,013 --> 00:15:16,949

Okay. Now because look, let let's see.

 

535

00:15:16,949 --> 00:15:18,350

And I think here's what could happen.

 

536

00:15:18,350 --> 00:15:19,485

Let's say you're a retail store

 

537

00:15:19,485 --> 00:15:20,586

homeowner comes in,

 

538

00:15:20,586 --> 00:15:22,321

she sees that stain sample.

 

539

00:15:22,321 --> 00:15:24,323

She goes oh my gosh the three by three.

 

540

00:15:24,323 --> 00:15:25,291

It looks beautiful.

 

541

00:15:25,291 --> 00:15:25,925

Can I take it home?

 

542

00:15:25,925 --> 00:15:26,892

I put it next to my cabinets.

 

543

00:15:26,892 --> 00:15:28,394

You sure can.

 

544

00:15:28,394 --> 00:15:29,662

Comes back. Yes.

 

545

00:15:29,662 --> 00:15:31,363

This is beautiful. This is what I want.

 

546

00:15:31,363 --> 00:15:33,565

Why would a sales rep say then?

 

547

00:15:33,565 --> 00:15:36,402

No, let me talk you out of that.

 

548

00:15:36,402 --> 00:15:36,902

You know what I mean.

 

549

00:15:36,902 --> 00:15:38,671

If someone is giddy over a product,

 

550

00:15:38,671 --> 00:15:38,904

I mean,

 

551

00:15:38,904 --> 00:15:39,571

why do you want to get

 

552

00:15:39,571 --> 00:15:40,172

in the way of that?

 

553

00:15:40,172 --> 00:15:41,340

But I think that's a time

 

554

00:15:41,340 --> 00:15:42,141

you really do need to have

 

555

00:15:42,141 --> 00:15:43,309

that conversation.

 

556

00:15:43,309 --> 00:15:45,544

Look beautiful floor.

 

557

00:15:45,544 --> 00:15:47,313

I want to just educate you,

 

558

00:15:47,313 --> 00:15:49,381

as I would with any of our products

 

559

00:15:49,381 --> 00:15:51,383

on these types of floors. Okay.

 

560

00:15:52,451 --> 00:15:53,385

All right.

 

561

00:15:53,385 --> 00:15:55,921

Now, number two. Wait.

 

562

00:15:55,921 --> 00:15:56,355

Yes, sir.

 

563

00:15:56,355 --> 00:15:58,357

If we get into number two,

 

564

00:15:58,357 --> 00:15:59,992

I'm going to take you a step further

 

565

00:15:59,992 --> 00:16:00,859

because it's

 

566

00:16:00,859 --> 00:16:01,727

definitely something

 

567

00:16:01,727 --> 00:16:04,263

that I talk about in training.

 

568

00:16:04,263 --> 00:16:04,830

You know,

 

569

00:16:04,830 --> 00:16:06,231

we got our bona craft

 

570

00:16:06,231 --> 00:16:07,566

oil awesome product.

 

571

00:16:07,566 --> 00:16:08,634

Everybody loves it.

 

572

00:16:08,634 --> 00:16:11,637

Easy to work with all that good stuff.

 

573

00:16:12,004 --> 00:16:14,673

But I do tell people at our trainings,

 

574

00:16:14,673 --> 00:16:16,008

listen,

 

575

00:16:16,008 --> 00:16:17,810

part of the sale that goes with this,

 

576

00:16:17,810 --> 00:16:18,944

whether you're selling it

 

577

00:16:18,944 --> 00:16:21,046

or they're asking for it,

 

578

00:16:21,046 --> 00:16:24,049

is to talk about the maintenance program

 

579

00:16:24,316 --> 00:16:25,918

and what is going to be required.

 

580

00:16:25,918 --> 00:16:28,554

And I said, and on top of that,

 

581

00:16:28,554 --> 00:16:31,357

you got to have a number in your head.

 

582

00:16:31,357 --> 00:16:33,392

So when the homeowner says,

 

583

00:16:33,392 --> 00:16:36,061

oh, what's that going to cost me?

 

584

00:16:36,061 --> 00:16:37,262

You got to have that right

 

585

00:16:37,262 --> 00:16:37,830

then and there.

 

586

00:16:37,830 --> 00:16:38,497

You can't be like,

 

587

00:16:38,497 --> 00:16:39,431

oh, well, wait a minute.

 

588

00:16:39,431 --> 00:16:40,833

You know, let me do some.

 

589

00:16:40,833 --> 00:16:42,968

So I think you got to have that number,

 

590

00:16:42,968 --> 00:16:44,269

whether it's a square foot

 

591

00:16:44,269 --> 00:16:46,638

or by the room or whatever,

 

592

00:16:46,638 --> 00:16:47,206

you got to have

 

593

00:16:47,206 --> 00:16:48,741

that maintenance cost in your head.

 

594

00:16:48,741 --> 00:16:49,241

You gotta know

 

595

00:16:49,241 --> 00:16:50,342

what those maintenance products

 

596

00:16:50,342 --> 00:16:51,643

going to cost you.

 

597

00:16:51,643 --> 00:16:52,344

How much?

 

598

00:16:52,344 --> 00:16:53,912

What's the labor and all that

 

599

00:16:53,912 --> 00:16:56,815

and have a good solid number.

 

600

00:16:56,815 --> 00:16:58,484

So there's no fooling around

 

601

00:16:58,484 --> 00:17:00,285

where if you said to somebody,

 

602

00:17:00,285 --> 00:17:01,920

hey, it might require maintenance,

 

603

00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,222

you know, some people

 

604

00:17:03,222 --> 00:17:04,023

that would be like,

 

605

00:17:04,023 --> 00:17:04,857

oh, you're going to come in

 

606

00:17:04,857 --> 00:17:06,191

and rub something on

 

607

00:17:06,191 --> 00:17:08,293

the floor and walk out. Yeah.

 

608

00:17:09,361 --> 00:17:11,764

Good point.

 

609

00:17:11,764 --> 00:17:13,532

That's the second one today.

 

610

00:17:13,532 --> 00:17:14,333

Folks know

 

611

00:17:14,333 --> 00:17:16,168

they're all three and you get the price.

 

612

00:17:16,168 --> 00:17:17,803

So three and I get to leave.

 

613

00:17:17,803 --> 00:17:19,271

Stay tuned.

 

614

00:17:19,271 --> 00:17:20,005

All right.

 

615

00:17:20,005 --> 00:17:23,008

Number two I'm going to say is amnesia.

 

616

00:17:23,709 --> 00:17:25,044

Is that you absolutely

 

617

00:17:25,044 --> 00:17:27,312

had that discussion with the homeowner.

 

618

00:17:27,312 --> 00:17:29,114

And it went out the window.

 

619

00:17:29,114 --> 00:17:31,450

So I think therefore

 

620

00:17:31,450 --> 00:17:33,652

it's a it's a good idea.

 

621

00:17:33,652 --> 00:17:35,487

And maybe even after the install.

 

622

00:17:35,487 --> 00:17:37,890

Hey, here's your floor install.

 

623

00:17:37,890 --> 00:17:38,757

We're done.

 

624

00:17:38,757 --> 00:17:39,591

Now let me walk

 

625

00:17:39,591 --> 00:17:41,260

you through the maintenance program

 

626

00:17:41,260 --> 00:17:42,861

we always have everybody sign off on is

 

627

00:17:42,861 --> 00:17:43,662

make sure you understand

 

628

00:17:43,662 --> 00:17:44,797

if you have any questions,

 

629

00:17:44,797 --> 00:17:46,598

you know now's the time to ask whatever,

 

630

00:17:46,598 --> 00:17:48,500

but get a signature on it

 

631

00:17:48,500 --> 00:17:49,768

so they don't come back with it

 

632

00:17:49,768 --> 00:17:50,936

because I think they're,

 

633

00:17:50,936 --> 00:17:51,870

with this type of product,

 

634

00:17:51,870 --> 00:17:52,871

I think sometimes

 

635

00:17:52,871 --> 00:17:55,007

there is buyer's remorse

 

636

00:17:55,007 --> 00:17:56,542

where they will say, you know what?

 

637

00:17:56,542 --> 00:17:58,010

And I'll get into this later.

 

638

00:17:58,010 --> 00:17:59,778

But you know what?

 

639

00:17:59,778 --> 00:18:02,281

What used to be a low, very low sheen,

 

640

00:18:02,281 --> 00:18:02,881

a beautiful low

 

641

00:18:02,881 --> 00:18:05,384

sheen can turn into the lifeless and dull

 

642

00:18:05,384 --> 00:18:06,952

down the road. You know what I mean?

 

643

00:18:08,854 --> 00:18:10,956

So just be aware and

 

644

00:18:10,956 --> 00:18:11,590

we'll get into that

 

645

00:18:11,590 --> 00:18:12,991

a little bit later, okay?

 

646

00:18:12,991 --> 00:18:14,093

Lifeless and dull.

 

647

00:18:14,093 --> 00:18:16,562

That's the name of my autobiography.

 

648

00:18:16,562 --> 00:18:18,664

I, we just came up with a

 

649

00:18:18,664 --> 00:18:20,899

great name for my autobiography when I.

 

650

00:18:20,899 --> 00:18:22,501

There you get around to write.

 

651

00:18:22,501 --> 00:18:22,968

Yes.

 

652

00:18:22,968 --> 00:18:23,769

Rob Johnson

 

653

00:18:23,769 --> 00:18:26,772

my life life lifeless and dull.

 

654

00:18:27,673 --> 00:18:30,142

Anything but Rob

 

655

00:18:30,142 --> 00:18:31,577

number three is instantly,

 

656

00:18:31,577 --> 00:18:34,113

at the time of installation,

 

657

00:18:34,113 --> 00:18:37,116

using blue tape.

 

658

00:18:37,316 --> 00:18:38,217

When you pull the blue

 

659

00:18:38,217 --> 00:18:39,118

tape off,

 

660

00:18:39,118 --> 00:18:41,453

these floors have oil in them, obviously.

 

661

00:18:41,453 --> 00:18:42,588

And sometimes it pulls

 

662

00:18:42,588 --> 00:18:44,289

the oil off as well.

 

663

00:18:44,289 --> 00:18:45,023

And it can leave

 

664

00:18:45,023 --> 00:18:47,192

tape like tape lines on the floor.

 

665

00:18:47,192 --> 00:18:49,561

So you definitely want to be using,

 

666

00:18:49,561 --> 00:18:52,464

straps when you're doing these floors.

 

667

00:18:52,464 --> 00:18:54,666

And, a lot of times

 

668

00:18:54,666 --> 00:18:57,302

adhesives have what we call memory.

 

669

00:18:57,302 --> 00:18:59,304

So if you put the plank in the adhesive

 

670

00:18:59,304 --> 00:19:00,973

then you slide it into place.

 

671

00:19:00,973 --> 00:19:02,374

It keeps wanting to slide back

 

672

00:19:02,374 --> 00:19:05,010

to where you first put the adhesive in.

 

673

00:19:06,879 --> 00:19:07,946

Now, as a side

 

674

00:19:07,946 --> 00:19:10,949

note, bone adhesive has no has no memory.

 

675

00:19:11,116 --> 00:19:12,050

Right.

 

676

00:19:12,050 --> 00:19:12,384

All right.

 

677

00:19:12,384 --> 00:19:13,452

You see, I was able to work

 

678

00:19:13,452 --> 00:19:14,119

this the only time

 

679

00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:15,087

I'll be able to work in adhesive.

 

680

00:19:15,087 --> 00:19:17,089

I was just about to jump on that.

 

681

00:19:17,089 --> 00:19:19,224

This whole presentation.

 

682

00:19:19,224 --> 00:19:21,059

All right,

 

683

00:19:21,059 --> 00:19:23,762

all right, number four.

 

684

00:19:23,762 --> 00:19:25,998

And this is interesting to me,

 

685

00:19:25,998 --> 00:19:27,799

and this is a very common occurrence

 

686

00:19:27,799 --> 00:19:30,068

where sometimes

 

687

00:19:30,068 --> 00:19:32,304

you'll you'll install the floor,

 

688

00:19:32,304 --> 00:19:34,173

the builder rolls out

 

689

00:19:34,173 --> 00:19:36,041

ram board on the floor to protect it.

 

690

00:19:36,041 --> 00:19:36,975

Right.

 

691

00:19:36,975 --> 00:19:38,177

And they'll say Ram boards

 

692

00:19:38,177 --> 00:19:40,312

breathable or whatever.

 

693

00:19:40,312 --> 00:19:41,547

And after a month

 

694

00:19:41,547 --> 00:19:42,314

and a half or two months

 

695

00:19:42,314 --> 00:19:44,283

of the Ram board being down,

 

696

00:19:44,283 --> 00:19:46,185

the Ram boards pulled off.

 

697

00:19:46,185 --> 00:19:47,119

And a lot of times

 

698

00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:47,853

that though

 

699

00:19:47,853 --> 00:19:50,756

that Ram board dries up, dries out the,

 

700

00:19:50,756 --> 00:19:52,424

the, the oil in the floor

 

701

00:19:53,392 --> 00:19:54,893

and can can

 

702

00:19:54,893 --> 00:19:57,362

kind of be like a, like a dry look to it.

 

703

00:19:57,362 --> 00:19:57,696

Okay.

 

704

00:19:57,696 --> 00:19:58,363

So that's a bad way

 

705

00:19:58,363 --> 00:20:00,732

to start off on the floor.

 

706

00:20:00,732 --> 00:20:02,100

The brand new floor.

 

707

00:20:02,100 --> 00:20:04,503

Does the oil attach itself to the ram?

 

708

00:20:04,503 --> 00:20:06,338

No, I think like a quick

 

709

00:20:06,338 --> 00:20:08,574

no, I think I think that

 

710

00:20:08,574 --> 00:20:09,341

and sometimes, like,

 

711

00:20:09,341 --> 00:20:10,509

there's, there's heating vents

 

712

00:20:10,509 --> 00:20:11,376

that are,

 

713

00:20:11,376 --> 00:20:11,777

that are,

 

714

00:20:11,777 --> 00:20:13,045

that get under there or whatever,

 

715

00:20:13,045 --> 00:20:13,979

and it doesn't allow the floor

 

716

00:20:13,979 --> 00:20:16,848

to breathe so much. And, just,

 

717

00:20:16,848 --> 00:20:17,916

can you rub the,

 

718

00:20:17,916 --> 00:20:18,917

you know, kind of rub

 

719

00:20:18,917 --> 00:20:21,286

the floor of its oils? Okay.

 

720

00:20:21,286 --> 00:20:24,089

So now how is this for a conversation?

 

721

00:20:24,089 --> 00:20:25,958

Okay. Your floor is done.

 

722

00:20:25,958 --> 00:20:27,459

Pull the Ram board up.

 

723

00:20:27,459 --> 00:20:30,462

I'm going to need another $8,000 to, to.

 

724

00:20:33,732 --> 00:20:35,634

Apply another coat of oil to your floor.

 

725

00:20:37,502 --> 00:20:38,337

Okay,

 

726

00:20:38,337 --> 00:20:39,671

so when we talk about,

 

727

00:20:39,671 --> 00:20:41,273

like, a great conversation.

 

728

00:20:41,273 --> 00:20:43,375

Yeah, let's get into that one.

 

729

00:20:43,375 --> 00:20:44,443

So,

 

730

00:20:44,443 --> 00:20:45,978

but let's say it's a white floor

 

731

00:20:45,978 --> 00:20:48,547

or a gray floor and, and that happens.

 

732

00:20:48,547 --> 00:20:49,681

You're starting out with,

 

733

00:20:49,681 --> 00:20:51,383

with a lot of not not enough

 

734

00:20:51,383 --> 00:20:52,618

oil on the floor.

 

735

00:20:52,618 --> 00:20:52,951

You know,

 

736

00:20:52,951 --> 00:20:53,719

it would be a quick

 

737

00:20:53,719 --> 00:20:55,954

one coat process to put it on there.

 

738

00:20:55,954 --> 00:20:58,123

But I hate when it's like someone saying,

 

739

00:20:58,123 --> 00:20:59,992

you just do a light sanding, you know?

 

740

00:20:59,992 --> 00:21:01,026

I mean, there's no such thing.

 

741

00:21:01,026 --> 00:21:01,393

It's,

 

742

00:21:01,393 --> 00:21:02,628

you know, there's still time

 

743

00:21:02,628 --> 00:21:04,229

and energy and money and cost.

 

744

00:21:04,229 --> 00:21:05,764

So,

 

745

00:21:05,764 --> 00:21:08,767

so there's that on the installation.

 

746

00:21:08,867 --> 00:21:09,868

Wait a minute.

 

747

00:21:09,868 --> 00:21:11,069

Yes, sir.

 

748

00:21:11,069 --> 00:21:12,437

So we're going to tell the builder,

 

749

00:21:12,437 --> 00:21:13,105

listen,

 

750

00:21:13,105 --> 00:21:13,672

you know,

 

751

00:21:13,672 --> 00:21:14,339

you might have worked

 

752

00:21:14,339 --> 00:21:16,875

with wood floors before.

 

753

00:21:16,875 --> 00:21:19,511

I would floor contractors and everything,

 

754

00:21:19,511 --> 00:21:21,647

but now we definitely have to be

 

755

00:21:21,647 --> 00:21:22,681

the last person

 

756

00:21:22,681 --> 00:21:24,082

to get away from that Ram board.

 

757

00:21:24,082 --> 00:21:25,784

And covering those floors up.

 

758

00:21:25,784 --> 00:21:26,551

I think it's a it's

 

759

00:21:26,551 --> 00:21:27,986

a good conversation to have.

 

760

00:21:27,986 --> 00:21:29,521

And I think I want certainly want

 

761

00:21:29,521 --> 00:21:31,123

to put somebody on notice,

 

762

00:21:31,123 --> 00:21:32,257

say, look,

 

763

00:21:32,257 --> 00:21:33,225

I'm just going to shoot

 

764

00:21:33,225 --> 00:21:34,026

you straight here.

 

765

00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:36,628

It's a very common practice for people.

 

766

00:21:36,628 --> 00:21:37,929

Boat ramp or down.

 

767

00:21:37,929 --> 00:21:38,664

But when you go with

 

768

00:21:38,664 --> 00:21:40,966

this type of floor, it's a possibility.

 

769

00:21:40,966 --> 00:21:41,433

Doesn't happen

 

770

00:21:41,433 --> 00:21:43,335

all the times that,

 

771

00:21:43,335 --> 00:21:45,270

you may this may occur. Okay.

 

772

00:21:45,270 --> 00:21:46,838

Just to put them on notice that,

 

773

00:21:46,838 --> 00:21:48,907

you know, you don't want to

 

774

00:21:48,907 --> 00:21:49,975

nobody wants to go back up

 

775

00:21:49,975 --> 00:21:51,209

to somebody to ask for more money

 

776

00:21:51,209 --> 00:21:52,077

and what have you,

 

777

00:21:52,077 --> 00:21:52,944

even though you're looking out

 

778

00:21:52,944 --> 00:21:55,947

after the homeowner.

 

779

00:21:56,415 --> 00:21:57,649

I think one thing down the road

 

780

00:21:57,649 --> 00:21:59,251

in the in a life of a floor,

 

781

00:21:59,251 --> 00:22:00,652

usually if it's been down for a while,

 

782

00:22:00,652 --> 00:22:01,720

you want to know if you have enough oil

 

783

00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:02,321

on, you can,

 

784

00:22:02,321 --> 00:22:02,654

you know,

 

785

00:22:02,654 --> 00:22:03,889

drop a little water on the floor,

 

786

00:22:03,889 --> 00:22:06,291

see if it repels, away.

 

787

00:22:06,291 --> 00:22:06,692

There's like,

 

788

00:22:06,692 --> 00:22:07,926

some protection on floor of it

 

789

00:22:07,926 --> 00:22:09,695

or if it doesn't. But,

 

790

00:22:11,596 --> 00:22:12,431

the next one is,

 

791

00:22:12,431 --> 00:22:14,199

following the manufacturer's guidelines.

 

792

00:22:14,199 --> 00:22:15,000

And the challenge.

 

793

00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,134

Challenge is

 

794

00:22:16,134 --> 00:22:17,369

sometimes is that you don't know

 

795

00:22:17,369 --> 00:22:19,771

what's on the floor.

 

796

00:22:19,771 --> 00:22:21,206

That,

 

797

00:22:21,206 --> 00:22:22,541

you know, some of these floors,

 

798

00:22:22,541 --> 00:22:23,275

and even the, like,

 

799

00:22:23,275 --> 00:22:25,043

the ramps don't know what's on the floor.

 

800

00:22:25,043 --> 00:22:26,311

It may have changed over the,

 

801

00:22:26,311 --> 00:22:27,279

over the years.

 

802

00:22:27,279 --> 00:22:28,547

So there's,

 

803

00:22:28,547 --> 00:22:30,549

there's the universal, cleaners

 

804

00:22:30,549 --> 00:22:33,118

you can use, you know, we make one.

 

805

00:22:33,118 --> 00:22:33,985

We have competitors.

 

806

00:22:33,985 --> 00:22:35,887

Obviously didn't make one.

 

807

00:22:35,887 --> 00:22:39,358

So, there you go for that number.

 

808

00:22:39,524 --> 00:22:41,727

The next one is plastic rubs.

 

809

00:22:41,727 --> 00:22:44,563

The plastic rubs, plastic

 

810

00:22:44,563 --> 00:22:47,232

or rubber backing on the rugs

 

811

00:22:47,232 --> 00:22:50,235

that can turn the floor black.

 

812

00:22:50,268 --> 00:22:51,336

And in all fairness,

 

813

00:22:51,336 --> 00:22:53,338

this could happen to your thinking

 

814

00:22:53,338 --> 00:22:53,939

floor, a pre

 

815

00:22:53,939 --> 00:22:54,406

finished floor

 

816

00:22:54,406 --> 00:22:56,041

or a site finished floor as well,

 

817

00:22:56,041 --> 00:22:57,943

but definitely want to be careful of.

 

818

00:22:57,943 --> 00:22:58,343

What's that,

 

819

00:22:59,311 --> 00:23:00,645

website rub?

 

820

00:23:00,645 --> 00:23:03,582

You mean the one that I once a month?

 

821

00:23:03,582 --> 00:23:05,250

Once a month?

 

822

00:23:05,250 --> 00:23:06,985

Once a my my once a month.

 

823

00:23:06,985 --> 00:23:08,220

I get a call from Wayne.

 

824

00:23:08,220 --> 00:23:10,822

Hey, what's the carpet?

 

825

00:23:10,822 --> 00:23:13,325

The carpet backing that we recommend?

 

826

00:23:13,325 --> 00:23:14,893

And, I mean, you've been asking me

 

827

00:23:14,893 --> 00:23:16,161

this for years.

 

828

00:23:16,161 --> 00:23:17,229

Literally once a month,

 

829

00:23:17,229 --> 00:23:19,798

I probably call and ask you. Yes. Yeah.

 

830

00:23:19,798 --> 00:23:21,933

Sometimes I think you put me on.

 

831

00:23:21,933 --> 00:23:23,635

No, it's really that bad.

 

832

00:23:23,635 --> 00:23:25,270

And you really still don't know

 

833

00:23:25,270 --> 00:23:26,037

even it's.

 

834

00:23:26,037 --> 00:23:28,206

I mean, is it really something.

 

835

00:23:28,206 --> 00:23:29,608

No.

 

836

00:23:29,608 --> 00:23:31,343

It's this is like two weeks ago.

 

837

00:23:31,343 --> 00:23:31,910

I can look in

 

838

00:23:31,910 --> 00:23:34,713

and I know weeks ago you asked me.

 

839

00:23:34,713 --> 00:23:35,847

This obviously is going to be

 

840

00:23:35,847 --> 00:23:37,115

the last time I ever ask, you

 

841

00:23:37,115 --> 00:23:40,886

know, move.com spell it n

 

842

00:23:40,886 --> 00:23:45,223

o dash m u v.

 

843

00:23:46,291 --> 00:23:47,592

So it looks like move.

 

844

00:23:47,592 --> 00:23:49,728

But they pronounce it no move.

 

845

00:23:49,728 --> 00:23:51,463

Dot com okay.

 

846

00:23:51,463 --> 00:23:54,433

And it's the carpet backing

 

847

00:23:54,433 --> 00:23:57,436

that we recommend that won't harm

 

848

00:23:57,636 --> 00:24:00,138

finishes

 

849

00:24:00,138 --> 00:24:02,007

our finishes. Okay.

 

850

00:24:02,007 --> 00:24:04,776

But hey

 

851

00:24:04,776 --> 00:24:06,978

I don't know about oil.

 

852

00:24:06,978 --> 00:24:07,712

Okay.

 

853

00:24:07,712 --> 00:24:08,880

Well what do you do with that?

 

854

00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,883

B don't use plastic or rubber backing.

 

855

00:24:12,451 --> 00:24:15,454

So there you go.

 

856

00:24:15,487 --> 00:24:16,221

All right.

 

857

00:24:16,221 --> 00:24:18,457

Don't use the no move.com.

 

858

00:24:18,457 --> 00:24:19,324

They should send me a

 

859

00:24:19,324 --> 00:24:20,459

t shirt or something.

 

860

00:24:20,459 --> 00:24:23,361

Should. Yeah a big one.

 

861

00:24:23,361 --> 00:24:25,630

And then you should. You should,

 

862

00:24:25,630 --> 00:24:26,832

split it with me

 

863

00:24:26,832 --> 00:24:29,835

because of all the times I bring it up.

 

864

00:24:30,035 --> 00:24:30,769

Yeah. Actually.

 

865

00:24:30,769 --> 00:24:31,937

Are you working for them now?

 

866

00:24:31,937 --> 00:24:34,239

Because you do ask a lot. You.

 

867

00:24:34,239 --> 00:24:36,274

So you've sold a lot of that?

 

868

00:24:36,274 --> 00:24:37,075

No.

 

869

00:24:37,075 --> 00:24:37,943

It's embarrassing

 

870

00:24:37,943 --> 00:24:39,377

how many times I've asked you that.

 

871

00:24:39,377 --> 00:24:41,146

It is crazy, so.

 

872

00:24:41,146 --> 00:24:42,180

Well, okay.

 

873

00:24:42,180 --> 00:24:44,082

Kyle and Rebecca,

 

874

00:24:44,082 --> 00:24:45,050

my daughter

 

875

00:24:45,050 --> 00:24:45,884

and son in law,

 

876

00:24:45,884 --> 00:24:47,452

when they bought their house,

 

877

00:24:47,452 --> 00:24:49,688

you know, I got to do the floors.

 

878

00:24:49,688 --> 00:24:50,856

They were in pretty good shape.

 

879

00:24:50,856 --> 00:24:53,091

So I went in and,

 

880

00:24:53,091 --> 00:24:54,326

just gave a real good screen

 

881

00:24:54,326 --> 00:24:56,561

and co couple co to traffic in the floor.

 

882

00:24:56,561 --> 00:24:58,730

So actually I use natural.

 

883

00:24:58,730 --> 00:25:00,699

So the floors look great, you know,

 

884

00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,803

and she says to me,

 

885

00:25:05,136 --> 00:25:06,304

you know we're going to do some,

 

886

00:25:06,304 --> 00:25:08,807

you know, a couple of area rugs.

 

887

00:25:08,807 --> 00:25:11,076

What should I and I go, oh, you know,

 

888

00:25:11,076 --> 00:25:11,743

call Wayne.

 

889

00:25:11,743 --> 00:25:14,613

He'll tell you, you know, no move.com.

 

890

00:25:14,613 --> 00:25:15,914

Yeah.

 

891

00:25:15,914 --> 00:25:17,749

So I tell her, here you go.

 

892

00:25:17,749 --> 00:25:20,519

No move.com.

 

893

00:25:20,519 --> 00:25:21,753

She calls me back the next day.

 

894

00:25:21,753 --> 00:25:23,355

She goes,

 

895

00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:25,957

you know, is there anything else that

 

896

00:25:25,957 --> 00:25:27,125

those no move

 

897

00:25:27,125 --> 00:25:29,628

mats, they're kind of expensive.

 

898

00:25:29,628 --> 00:25:31,997

Like, you're kidding me, right?

 

899

00:25:31,997 --> 00:25:34,199

You got the floors for free?

 

900

00:25:34,199 --> 00:25:35,100

Yeah.

 

901

00:25:35,100 --> 00:25:37,802

The floors didn't cost you anything.

 

902

00:25:37,802 --> 00:25:38,770

Yeah.

 

903

00:25:38,770 --> 00:25:39,771

Your brother and I were there

 

904

00:25:39,771 --> 00:25:41,973

for two days.

 

905

00:25:41,973 --> 00:25:44,042

You paid nothing for the floors?

 

906

00:25:44,042 --> 00:25:45,443

Yeah, zero.

 

907

00:25:45,443 --> 00:25:48,446

And you can't meet me halfway.

 

908

00:25:50,582 --> 00:25:51,249

That's funny.

 

909

00:25:51,249 --> 00:25:52,584

I think. Yeah.

 

910

00:25:52,584 --> 00:25:53,785

Yeah, yeah.

 

911

00:25:53,785 --> 00:25:54,753

She was like, well,

 

912

00:25:54,753 --> 00:25:56,054

I guess you put it that way.

 

913

00:25:56,054 --> 00:25:57,656

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

 

914

00:25:57,656 --> 00:25:58,256

So I know.

 

915

00:25:58,256 --> 00:25:59,558

So the listeners.

 

916

00:25:59,558 --> 00:26:00,792

Yes, I guess it's,

 

917

00:26:00,792 --> 00:26:02,827

I guess they're expensive,

 

918

00:26:02,827 --> 00:26:04,296

but there's a reason that, that

 

919

00:26:04,296 --> 00:26:05,797

that's the one that we recommend

 

920

00:26:05,797 --> 00:26:07,599

because we know it's not going to

 

921

00:26:07,599 --> 00:26:08,967

harm the finish.

 

922

00:26:08,967 --> 00:26:10,201

There you go.

 

923

00:26:10,201 --> 00:26:10,669

All right.

 

924

00:26:10,669 --> 00:26:11,836

Next one

 

925

00:26:11,836 --> 00:26:14,673

is and this is very common is overusing.

 

926

00:26:14,673 --> 00:26:15,740

Oh excuse me.

 

927

00:26:15,740 --> 00:26:18,043

Oh we're using the cleaner now

 

928

00:26:19,411 --> 00:26:21,746

picture like like, hand lotion.

 

929

00:26:21,746 --> 00:26:22,514

Okay.

 

930

00:26:22,514 --> 00:26:24,149

If you were to take hand lotion,

 

931

00:26:24,149 --> 00:26:25,550

put it on your hands

 

932

00:26:25,550 --> 00:26:27,519

and not work it into your hands and not,

 

933

00:26:27,519 --> 00:26:28,954

you know, work it into your hands

 

934

00:26:28,954 --> 00:26:29,421

and whatever.

 

935

00:26:29,421 --> 00:26:31,056

Just leave it on your hands.

 

936

00:26:31,056 --> 00:26:32,390

That's what you'll be doing

 

937

00:26:32,390 --> 00:26:34,125

if you use too much oil on a floor.

 

938

00:26:34,125 --> 00:26:36,194

So make sure you, you know,

 

939

00:26:36,194 --> 00:26:37,562

really saturate the

 

940

00:26:37,562 --> 00:26:38,930

the wood, get the wood nice.

 

941

00:26:38,930 --> 00:26:39,297

And, you know,

 

942

00:26:39,297 --> 00:26:41,333

driving the oils into the wood.

 

943

00:26:41,333 --> 00:26:42,667

But it should be like,

 

944

00:26:42,667 --> 00:26:43,802

almost like putting,

 

945

00:26:43,802 --> 00:26:45,971

hand lotion on your hands.

 

946

00:26:45,971 --> 00:26:48,974

The oil, the floors need that oil.

 

947

00:26:49,007 --> 00:26:49,341

Okay.

 

948

00:26:49,341 --> 00:26:51,009

That's that's that's how they're that's

 

949

00:26:51,009 --> 00:26:52,978

when they're healthy.

 

950

00:26:52,978 --> 00:26:55,180

But you don't want to saturate them,

 

951

00:26:55,180 --> 00:26:56,648

and you see an indication

 

952

00:26:56,648 --> 00:26:58,350

that you have too much oil on

 

953

00:26:58,350 --> 00:26:59,451

the floor is

 

954

00:26:59,451 --> 00:26:59,851

you can have,

 

955

00:26:59,851 --> 00:27:01,519

like, a hazy appearance to it

 

956

00:27:01,519 --> 00:27:03,855

or you're leaving footprints. Okay.

 

957

00:27:03,855 --> 00:27:05,390

In which case I would get out of buffer,

 

958

00:27:05,390 --> 00:27:05,890

probably a low

 

959

00:27:05,890 --> 00:27:06,524

speed buffer

 

960

00:27:06,524 --> 00:27:08,293

with a white pad, three and white pad,

 

961

00:27:08,293 --> 00:27:09,728

thick white pad and just above.

 

962

00:27:09,728 --> 00:27:11,763

Start buffing that again

 

963

00:27:11,763 --> 00:27:13,064

and, flipping the pad over

 

964

00:27:13,064 --> 00:27:14,432

and getting some of that oil off

 

965

00:27:14,432 --> 00:27:17,068

and driving the oil into the floor.

 

966

00:27:17,068 --> 00:27:18,003

Okay.

 

967

00:27:18,003 --> 00:27:18,970

Now is that

 

968

00:27:18,970 --> 00:27:21,873

that's for the UV stuff, right?

 

969

00:27:21,873 --> 00:27:23,808

Yeah. Would our products work on that?

 

970

00:27:25,777 --> 00:27:26,811

We have

 

971

00:27:26,811 --> 00:27:29,814

cleaners for, for,

 

972

00:27:29,881 --> 00:27:31,750

you know, like a,

 

973

00:27:31,750 --> 00:27:33,151

a universal cleaner

 

974

00:27:33,151 --> 00:27:35,320

that we have for, for, for oiled floors.

 

975

00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,188

Yes,

 

976

00:27:37,188 --> 00:27:39,124

but not the craft oil, soap and craft

 

977

00:27:39,124 --> 00:27:40,458

oil care.

 

978

00:27:40,458 --> 00:27:42,360

Yeah. That's our cleaners. Okay.

 

979

00:27:42,360 --> 00:27:42,560

Yeah.

 

980

00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:43,928

Well, if if, I mean, I'm

 

981

00:27:43,928 --> 00:27:46,031

going to give you a little tutorial

 

982

00:27:46,031 --> 00:27:47,999

on those two cleaners, okay.

 

983

00:27:47,999 --> 00:27:48,833

Do.

 

984

00:27:48,833 --> 00:27:49,834

And I make it simple

 

985

00:27:49,834 --> 00:27:51,770

so you can understand

 

986

00:27:51,770 --> 00:27:54,406

exactly what they do okay.

 

987

00:27:54,406 --> 00:27:56,041

Okay. We have two.

 

988

00:27:56,041 --> 00:27:58,276

We have craft oil soap

 

989

00:27:58,276 --> 00:28:01,279

and we have craft oil care.

 

990

00:28:01,413 --> 00:28:01,946

You understand?

 

991

00:28:01,946 --> 00:28:02,914

You with me so far?

 

992

00:28:02,914 --> 00:28:03,915

You're talking to me.

 

993

00:28:03,915 --> 00:28:04,983

Yeah, I'm talking to you.

 

994

00:28:04,983 --> 00:28:06,084

Well, of course I'm with you.

 

995

00:28:06,084 --> 00:28:07,118

Because it looks like you're

 

996

00:28:07,118 --> 00:28:07,952

looking around.

 

997

00:28:07,952 --> 00:28:09,487

You're not paying attention.

 

998

00:28:09,487 --> 00:28:10,755

You're looking for pumpkin pie.

 

999

00:28:10,755 --> 00:28:12,290

That's a couple days away.

 

1000

00:28:12,290 --> 00:28:13,458

Yeah, but you're you're. Explain.

 

1001

00:28:13,458 --> 00:28:15,293

Here's what you're going to do.

 

1002

00:28:15,293 --> 00:28:15,960

Okay?

 

1003

00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,696

I want you to picture me in the shower.

 

1004

00:28:19,297 --> 00:28:19,998

Yeah.

 

1005

00:28:19,998 --> 00:28:21,833

So watch me in the shower. Yeah.

 

1006

00:28:21,833 --> 00:28:23,435

And when I'm washing my hair

 

1007

00:28:23,435 --> 00:28:24,936

I'm using what.

 

1008

00:28:24,936 --> 00:28:26,471

I'm using shampoo.

 

1009

00:28:26,471 --> 00:28:27,605

Yeah. Right.

 

1010

00:28:27,605 --> 00:28:28,406

The shampoo.

 

1011

00:28:28,406 --> 00:28:29,340

That's a craft oil.

 

1012

00:28:29,340 --> 00:28:31,810

Soap. Soap shampoo. Right.

 

1013

00:28:31,810 --> 00:28:34,512

Then you rinse all that out and that's

 

1014

00:28:34,512 --> 00:28:36,081

what's the next thing I'm going to do

 

1015

00:28:36,081 --> 00:28:38,817

for my hair conditioner.

 

1016

00:28:38,817 --> 00:28:40,318

That's the care.

 

1017

00:28:40,318 --> 00:28:43,288

The care is the nourish the conditioner.

 

1018

00:28:43,288 --> 00:28:45,757

Just like you're nourishing your hair

 

1019

00:28:45,757 --> 00:28:47,625

conditioner in your hair.

 

1020

00:28:47,625 --> 00:28:50,595

That's what craft oil, soap and craft oil

 

1021

00:28:50,595 --> 00:28:51,663

care does.

 

1022

00:28:51,663 --> 00:28:54,666

Now, everybody listening knows

 

1023

00:28:55,066 --> 00:28:56,101

the difference.

 

1024

00:28:56,101 --> 00:28:57,569

Think me in the shower.

 

1025

00:28:57,569 --> 00:28:58,937

And that's what the soap does.

 

1026

00:28:58,937 --> 00:29:00,972

And that's what the care does.

 

1027

00:29:00,972 --> 00:29:03,074

So I love that analogy.

 

1028

00:29:03,074 --> 00:29:03,742

But yeah

 

1029

00:29:03,742 --> 00:29:04,476

because you have not

 

1030

00:29:04,476 --> 00:29:06,745

have you somebody else.

 

1031

00:29:06,745 --> 00:29:08,613

No I wanted you to meet me that way.

 

1032

00:29:08,613 --> 00:29:11,349

It's burned in your head.

 

1033

00:29:11,349 --> 00:29:13,618

It's burned in their head.

 

1034

00:29:13,618 --> 00:29:15,587

It certainly is mine. Yeah.

 

1035

00:29:17,155 --> 00:29:18,556

Okay.

 

1036

00:29:18,556 --> 00:29:19,958

That was weird.

 

1037

00:29:19,958 --> 00:29:20,425

Sales.

 

1038

00:29:20,425 --> 00:29:21,459

At a sales meeting,

 

1039

00:29:21,459 --> 00:29:25,130

Nick Larsen asked me to describe that,

 

1040

00:29:25,130 --> 00:29:28,133

and Shearson was there,

 

1041

00:29:28,466 --> 00:29:29,501

and I did it.

 

1042

00:29:29,501 --> 00:29:30,902

I said the whole thing.

 

1043

00:29:30,902 --> 00:29:32,570

The whole shower scene.

 

1044

00:29:32,570 --> 00:29:34,472

Nice shower scene.

 

1045

00:29:34,472 --> 00:29:36,474

And, yeah, the shower scene.

 

1046

00:29:36,474 --> 00:29:37,942

And I'm still here.

 

1047

00:29:37,942 --> 00:29:38,877

Maybe she was on it.

 

1048

00:29:38,877 --> 00:29:39,878

She might have been on a call

 

1049

00:29:39,878 --> 00:29:40,745

or something, but.

 

1050

00:29:40,745 --> 00:29:41,746

Yeah,

 

1051

00:29:41,746 --> 00:29:43,648

or maybe it was different,

 

1052

00:29:43,648 --> 00:29:45,517

you know, breaking it down into Swedish

 

1053

00:29:45,517 --> 00:29:46,551

or English or something,

 

1054

00:29:46,551 --> 00:29:48,219

but maybe it meant something different.

 

1055

00:29:48,219 --> 00:29:50,955

But what's the Swedish word for creep?

 

1056

00:29:50,955 --> 00:29:52,423

Because I may have,

 

1057

00:29:52,423 --> 00:29:55,827

I think I think I heard, like Creepshow

 

1058

00:29:55,827 --> 00:29:56,394

or something.

 

1059

00:29:56,394 --> 00:29:59,364

I don't know,

 

1060

00:29:59,364 --> 00:30:01,032

Creepy, right?

 

1061

00:30:01,032 --> 00:30:01,966

Yeah.

 

1062

00:30:01,966 --> 00:30:03,334

Not enough oil.

 

1063

00:30:03,334 --> 00:30:03,835

Okay.

 

1064

00:30:03,835 --> 00:30:06,671

A close second to to too much oil.

 

1065

00:30:06,671 --> 00:30:08,940

As I said, these floors need the oil.

 

1066

00:30:08,940 --> 00:30:09,808

That's what.

 

1067

00:30:09,808 --> 00:30:11,276

And I'm going to I'm going to give you,

 

1068

00:30:12,677 --> 00:30:13,945

an example.

 

1069

00:30:13,945 --> 00:30:15,914

I, I, I went out to

 

1070

00:30:15,914 --> 00:30:17,148

I was working for a manufacturer

 

1071

00:30:17,148 --> 00:30:18,216

at the time,

 

1072

00:30:18,216 --> 00:30:19,751

and, this homeowner client

 

1073

00:30:19,751 --> 00:30:22,754

complained about her or.

 

1074

00:30:23,555 --> 00:30:24,556

Still breathing.

 

1075

00:30:24,556 --> 00:30:26,391

Yeah.

 

1076

00:30:26,391 --> 00:30:27,525

I went out to,

 

1077

00:30:27,525 --> 00:30:29,460

a Florida homeowner was complaining that

 

1078

00:30:29,460 --> 00:30:30,662

that she bought this floor.

 

1079

00:30:30,662 --> 00:30:32,931

She purchased this for just, you know,

 

1080

00:30:32,931 --> 00:30:34,899

nine months, ten months ago or whatever.

 

1081

00:30:34,899 --> 00:30:36,901

And it looked absolutely horrible

 

1082

00:30:36,901 --> 00:30:38,369

and really

 

1083

00:30:38,369 --> 00:30:39,270

that then,

 

1084

00:30:39,270 --> 00:30:39,437

you know,

 

1085

00:30:39,437 --> 00:30:41,072

I spent a lot of money on this floor.

 

1086

00:30:41,072 --> 00:30:42,440

It looks awful.

 

1087

00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,242

It's a hard floor.

 

1088

00:30:44,242 --> 00:30:46,411

And, I'm just not happy at all.

 

1089

00:30:46,411 --> 00:30:48,913

So manufacturer rep went out,

 

1090

00:30:48,913 --> 00:30:51,816

I went with them and, went out there

 

1091

00:30:51,816 --> 00:30:53,618

and we rebuild that floor

 

1092

00:30:53,618 --> 00:30:54,419

and we opened the door

 

1093

00:30:54,419 --> 00:30:55,119

and walked in there.

 

1094

00:30:55,119 --> 00:30:56,154

I thought, Holy smokes,

 

1095

00:30:56,154 --> 00:30:57,689

these floors are hammered.

 

1096

00:30:57,689 --> 00:30:59,657

I mean, they absolutely look terrible.

 

1097

00:30:59,657 --> 00:31:01,025

And, it was a kitchen,

 

1098

00:31:01,025 --> 00:31:01,960

but it was a dining room

 

1099

00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:02,961

off the kitchen as well.

 

1100

00:31:02,961 --> 00:31:05,964

And another couple hallways and,

 

1101

00:31:06,531 --> 00:31:08,132

we reordered that floor

 

1102

00:31:08,132 --> 00:31:08,967

and when we left, it

 

1103

00:31:08,967 --> 00:31:11,169

look absolutely stunning.

 

1104

00:31:11,169 --> 00:31:11,703

Stunning.

 

1105

00:31:11,703 --> 00:31:12,770

When we left,

 

1106

00:31:12,770 --> 00:31:14,505

it just tells you what proper

 

1107

00:31:14,505 --> 00:31:16,207

maintenance will do.

 

1108

00:31:16,207 --> 00:31:17,675

And then here's a nice thing about

 

1109

00:31:17,675 --> 00:31:18,209

once you

 

1110

00:31:18,209 --> 00:31:19,177

these things that I'm talking about,

 

1111

00:31:19,177 --> 00:31:20,378

what can go wrong.

 

1112

00:31:20,378 --> 00:31:21,880

Usually when you educate the homeowner

 

1113

00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:22,847

and get them on the right track,

 

1114

00:31:22,847 --> 00:31:24,482

you never hear the problems,

 

1115

00:31:24,482 --> 00:31:25,383

you never hear the problems again.

 

1116

00:31:25,383 --> 00:31:27,085

From them. Let's see you understand it.

 

1117

00:31:28,753 --> 00:31:29,988

So, look, it's,

 

1118

00:31:29,988 --> 00:31:31,723

it's it's kind of ironic to me

 

1119

00:31:31,723 --> 00:31:33,391

because the last floor

 

1120

00:31:33,391 --> 00:31:35,526

I ever did in my life,

 

1121

00:31:35,526 --> 00:31:36,995

I could have put any 50.

 

1122

00:31:36,995 --> 00:31:38,463

I could have put traffic or whatever

 

1123

00:31:38,463 --> 00:31:39,998

I wanted on that floor.

 

1124

00:31:39,998 --> 00:31:42,066

And I chose to go with two coats of of,

 

1125

00:31:42,066 --> 00:31:43,868

our craft oil.

 

1126

00:31:43,868 --> 00:31:45,069

And it's interesting

 

1127

00:31:45,069 --> 00:31:46,271

because back, back in the 90s,

 

1128

00:31:46,271 --> 00:31:47,572

after I stopped

 

1129

00:31:47,572 --> 00:31:49,774

after the single companies came out,

 

1130

00:31:49,774 --> 00:31:51,576

I told myself, no, I'm done.

 

1131

00:31:51,576 --> 00:31:53,578

I'll never use these floors again.

 

1132

00:31:53,578 --> 00:31:55,179

And yet the last floor I ever did,

 

1133

00:31:55,179 --> 00:31:58,182

which, by the way.

 

1134

00:31:59,384 --> 00:32:02,387

For the year.

 

1135

00:32:03,788 --> 00:32:06,090

Cuban music people,

 

1136

00:32:06,090 --> 00:32:06,491

that's what

 

1137

00:32:06,491 --> 00:32:09,360

they put on floor of the year.

 

1138

00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,330

And you can hear it again.

 

1139

00:32:12,664 --> 00:32:13,998

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

 

1140

00:32:13,998 --> 00:32:14,999

I had to get.

 

1141

00:32:14,999 --> 00:32:16,801

I'm afraid it's going to go away

 

1142

00:32:16,801 --> 00:32:18,102

sometime, but it hasn't yet.

 

1143

00:32:19,270 --> 00:32:19,704

Okay.

 

1144

00:32:19,704 --> 00:32:20,605

There are some people

 

1145

00:32:20,605 --> 00:32:21,806

that say when you oil

 

1146

00:32:21,806 --> 00:32:24,375

these floors can have an oil floor.

 

1147

00:32:24,375 --> 00:32:26,945

Floor is you have to treat it like

 

1148

00:32:26,945 --> 00:32:29,948

it's still living.

 

1149

00:32:30,214 --> 00:32:30,748

There.

 

1150

00:32:30,748 --> 00:32:31,082

Yeah.

 

1151

00:32:31,082 --> 00:32:31,916

It's cleaning it,

 

1152

00:32:31,916 --> 00:32:34,252

nourishing it, that kind of thing.

 

1153

00:32:34,252 --> 00:32:36,921

Yeah I love the natural look.

 

1154

00:32:36,921 --> 00:32:37,288

Right.

 

1155

00:32:37,288 --> 00:32:37,889

I mean,

 

1156

00:32:37,889 --> 00:32:40,892

and I do think these floors down the road

 

1157

00:32:41,192 --> 00:32:42,093

get so much better.

 

1158

00:32:42,093 --> 00:32:43,995

Look in the patina is beautiful.

 

1159

00:32:43,995 --> 00:32:45,563

I mean, some of the advantages.

 

1160

00:32:45,563 --> 00:32:46,798

I mean, when the

 

1161

00:32:46,798 --> 00:32:49,067

if you get a small scuff or scratch,

 

1162

00:32:49,067 --> 00:32:50,368

you don't notice them as much there.

 

1163

00:32:50,368 --> 00:32:51,002

You can easily

 

1164

00:32:51,002 --> 00:32:52,804

repair areas without,

 

1165

00:32:52,804 --> 00:32:53,972

with one exception,

 

1166

00:32:53,972 --> 00:32:55,239

I'll get to later

 

1167

00:32:55,239 --> 00:32:57,075

without having to, sand

 

1168

00:32:57,075 --> 00:32:58,409

and finish the whole floors.

 

1169

00:32:58,409 --> 00:32:58,843

By the way,

 

1170

00:32:58,843 --> 00:33:01,846

when I talked about the pre finished,

 

1171

00:33:01,879 --> 00:33:03,614

hardware wax floors

 

1172

00:33:03,614 --> 00:33:05,216

and putting acrylic in them,

 

1173

00:33:06,250 --> 00:33:08,319

sometimes, when you

 

1174

00:33:08,319 --> 00:33:09,287

scratch those,

 

1175

00:33:09,287 --> 00:33:11,022

they get a white scratching them

 

1176

00:33:11,022 --> 00:33:12,123

just like,

 

1177

00:33:12,123 --> 00:33:15,159

just like a, you know, a urethane floor.

 

1178

00:33:15,693 --> 00:33:17,228

So,

 

1179

00:33:17,228 --> 00:33:17,729

yeah,

 

1180

00:33:17,729 --> 00:33:18,863

you make a pretty good argument

 

1181

00:33:18,863 --> 00:33:21,833

for, for going with a site finish.

 

1182

00:33:21,833 --> 00:33:24,836

Two component product.

 

1183

00:33:25,203 --> 00:33:27,705

All right, so we're matte here.

 

1184

00:33:27,705 --> 00:33:29,440

Yeah. Urethane versus oil.

 

1185

00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,075

The homeowner has worked on urethane

 

1186

00:33:31,075 --> 00:33:32,176

her whole life,

 

1187

00:33:32,176 --> 00:33:33,945

you know, and, you know, hear this a lot.

 

1188

00:33:33,945 --> 00:33:35,613

Well, my other floors didn't do this.

 

1189

00:33:35,613 --> 00:33:36,614

Don't you hate that?

 

1190

00:33:36,614 --> 00:33:36,948

Wouldn't that.

 

1191

00:33:36,948 --> 00:33:37,982

That's one of the worst things

 

1192

00:33:37,982 --> 00:33:39,751

you could hear from a homeowner.

 

1193

00:33:39,751 --> 00:33:41,786

My other floor, blah, blah, blah

 

1194

00:33:41,786 --> 00:33:43,287

or my other when we had our other floor.

 

1195

00:33:43,287 --> 00:33:43,354

Yeah.

 

1196

00:33:43,354 --> 00:33:44,889

Especially if you sanded the floors

 

1197

00:33:44,889 --> 00:33:46,257

in my other house. Yeah.

 

1198

00:33:46,257 --> 00:33:47,458

Yeah, my other house.

 

1199

00:33:47,458 --> 00:33:48,226

They didn't do this.

 

1200

00:33:48,226 --> 00:33:50,194

Or if you sand in the floors

 

1201

00:33:50,194 --> 00:33:51,062

and she goes, my other floors

 

1202

00:33:51,062 --> 00:33:51,529

didn't have that.

 

1203

00:33:51,529 --> 00:33:52,597

You're the guy that sanded it.

 

1204

00:33:52,597 --> 00:33:53,998

You know, the other floors are hammered.

 

1205

00:33:54,999 --> 00:33:56,200

You know they're the floor is a terrible.

 

1206

00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:57,602

What are you talking about?

 

1207

00:33:57,602 --> 00:33:59,170

You know what I mean?

 

1208

00:33:59,170 --> 00:34:00,405

I remember real quick

 

1209

00:34:00,405 --> 00:34:02,206

you were living with urine

 

1210

00:34:02,206 --> 00:34:03,708

before I got here. Yeah.

 

1211

00:34:03,708 --> 00:34:05,209

And now you're complaining about it.

 

1212

00:34:05,209 --> 00:34:06,210

Squeak.

 

1213

00:34:06,210 --> 00:34:07,712

We had a,

 

1214

00:34:07,712 --> 00:34:09,614

floor was pretty close to natural finish,

 

1215

00:34:09,614 --> 00:34:11,249

and then we went with a darker, like,

 

1216

00:34:11,249 --> 00:34:13,151

more of an antique color to it.

 

1217

00:34:13,151 --> 00:34:13,885

And when we got done,

 

1218

00:34:13,885 --> 00:34:14,652

it was a satin finish.

 

1219

00:34:14,652 --> 00:34:17,388

Mind you, we had installed no floors.

 

1220

00:34:17,388 --> 00:34:19,090

There was one quartz on board

 

1221

00:34:19,090 --> 00:34:20,558

in the middle of the floor

 

1222

00:34:20,558 --> 00:34:21,826

that she goes,

 

1223

00:34:21,826 --> 00:34:24,362

what happened to this board?

 

1224

00:34:24,362 --> 00:34:25,663

I go, I mean, it's just a grain.

 

1225

00:34:25,663 --> 00:34:26,464

She goes, no, no, no,

 

1226

00:34:26,464 --> 00:34:27,131

it wasn't like that.

 

1227

00:34:27,131 --> 00:34:29,367

And she's like, you'll get a finger up.

 

1228

00:34:29,367 --> 00:34:30,735

It wasn't like that before.

 

1229

00:34:31,903 --> 00:34:33,404

I said, ma'am,

 

1230

00:34:33,404 --> 00:34:35,106

I mean, what can we have,

 

1231

00:34:35,106 --> 00:34:36,240

what could we have done to it?

 

1232

00:34:36,240 --> 00:34:37,141

We didn't say

 

1233

00:34:37,141 --> 00:34:39,043

we didn't replace any boards.

 

1234

00:34:39,043 --> 00:34:39,877

You know, you notice

 

1235

00:34:39,877 --> 00:34:41,712

the grain takes each board individually.

 

1236

00:34:41,712 --> 00:34:43,448

That's the beauty of hardwood floors.

 

1237

00:34:43,448 --> 00:34:44,315

It's, you know,

 

1238

00:34:44,315 --> 00:34:45,049

I mean,

 

1239

00:34:45,049 --> 00:34:46,951

that's why you buy hardwood floors.

 

1240

00:34:46,951 --> 00:34:47,819

But she was convinced

 

1241

00:34:47,819 --> 00:34:48,586

that we did something

 

1242

00:34:48,586 --> 00:34:50,321

to that particular board.

 

1243

00:34:50,321 --> 00:34:52,857

So,

 

1244

00:34:52,857 --> 00:34:54,659

so she may have been walked on urethane

 

1245

00:34:54,659 --> 00:34:55,993

floors her whole life and just,

 

1246

00:34:55,993 --> 00:34:57,728

you know, the expectations.

 

1247

00:34:57,728 --> 00:34:58,029

Again,

 

1248

00:34:58,029 --> 00:34:59,730

I'll go back to Point of Sale,

 

1249

00:34:59,730 --> 00:35:01,165

where that conversation

 

1250

00:35:01,165 --> 00:35:03,000

maybe didn't happen or it happened,

 

1251

00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:04,335

to where the degree

 

1252

00:35:04,335 --> 00:35:07,338

of where it needed to be,

 

1253

00:35:08,172 --> 00:35:09,474

that another one is common is

 

1254

00:35:09,474 --> 00:35:11,609

we use all the recommended products.

 

1255

00:35:11,609 --> 00:35:12,243

I mean, you know,

 

1256

00:35:12,243 --> 00:35:13,544

we know what we're supposed to use.

 

1257

00:35:13,544 --> 00:35:14,145

We've been using

 

1258

00:35:14,145 --> 00:35:15,847

what we're supposed to use, but

 

1259

00:35:17,014 --> 00:35:18,749

over the course of time,

 

1260

00:35:18,749 --> 00:35:20,151

the floors have gotten dirty.

 

1261

00:35:20,151 --> 00:35:22,420

And sometimes the soil on the floor

 

1262

00:35:22,420 --> 00:35:23,254

that's been kind of

 

1263

00:35:23,254 --> 00:35:24,355

grinded into the floor

 

1264

00:35:24,355 --> 00:35:25,857

walked into the floor.

 

1265

00:35:25,857 --> 00:35:27,692

When they clean the floor,

 

1266

00:35:27,692 --> 00:35:29,160

they didn't do a good enough job.

 

1267

00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:30,027

Sometimes you got to get

 

1268

00:35:30,027 --> 00:35:30,862

on your hands, knees

 

1269

00:35:30,862 --> 00:35:32,697

and really, really wipe that floor,

 

1270

00:35:32,697 --> 00:35:34,732

almost like you're wiping off a stain.

 

1271

00:35:34,732 --> 00:35:37,301

And, to a, especially

 

1272

00:35:37,301 --> 00:35:40,304

when it comes to these textured floors,

 

1273

00:35:40,438 --> 00:35:41,606

wire brush floors,

 

1274

00:35:41,606 --> 00:35:44,108

maybe hand scraped floors,

 

1275

00:35:44,108 --> 00:35:46,911

that they're not cleaning them

 

1276

00:35:46,911 --> 00:35:48,079

good enough at first.

 

1277

00:35:48,079 --> 00:35:49,814

Okay,

 

1278

00:35:49,814 --> 00:35:51,015

now let's get to the roof.

 

1279

00:35:51,015 --> 00:35:52,116

Floors.

 

1280

00:35:52,116 --> 00:35:53,317

There are two tone floors.

 

1281

00:35:53,317 --> 00:35:54,752

The like, like,

 

1282

00:35:54,752 --> 00:35:56,087

you have a dark background

 

1283

00:35:56,087 --> 00:35:57,855

and you have a frost on top of that,

 

1284

00:35:57,855 --> 00:35:59,657

which is a very popular look.

 

1285

00:35:59,657 --> 00:36:01,025

Maybe you have a gray background

 

1286

00:36:01,025 --> 00:36:03,094

and a white on top of that,

 

1287

00:36:03,094 --> 00:36:05,396

which I love those looks, but

 

1288

00:36:05,396 --> 00:36:08,432

they are more difficult to do repairs on.

 

1289

00:36:08,666 --> 00:36:11,669

Okay, so it's not a bad idea

 

1290

00:36:11,802 --> 00:36:12,303

if you know

 

1291

00:36:12,303 --> 00:36:13,771

you have a high traffic areas,

 

1292

00:36:13,771 --> 00:36:15,506

a kitchen, for instance,

 

1293

00:36:15,506 --> 00:36:18,509

that they like that look.

 

1294

00:36:18,609 --> 00:36:21,345

But knowing the maintenance involved

 

1295

00:36:21,345 --> 00:36:22,413

and if you have to do a repair,

 

1296

00:36:22,413 --> 00:36:25,383

they may not live up to expectations.

 

1297

00:36:25,449 --> 00:36:26,918

Going with a two component

 

1298

00:36:26,918 --> 00:36:28,886

water base finish over top of it,

 

1299

00:36:30,354 --> 00:36:32,089

might be the way to go.

 

1300

00:36:32,089 --> 00:36:32,356

You know,

 

1301

00:36:32,356 --> 00:36:33,991

we have natural

 

1302

00:36:33,991 --> 00:36:36,260

we've got low, very low sheen products.

 

1303

00:36:36,260 --> 00:36:38,796

And when we came out with Bona Craft oil,

 

1304

00:36:38,796 --> 00:36:39,697

one of the things

 

1305

00:36:39,697 --> 00:36:40,998

that was important to us was

 

1306

00:36:40,998 --> 00:36:41,933

it was compatible

 

1307

00:36:41,933 --> 00:36:44,001

with our water based finish.

 

1308

00:36:44,001 --> 00:36:46,337

So that's not a bad idea

 

1309

00:36:46,337 --> 00:36:48,172

to have that conversation.

 

1310

00:36:48,172 --> 00:36:48,806

And like I said,

 

1311

00:36:48,806 --> 00:36:49,674

when we talk about buyer's

 

1312

00:36:49,674 --> 00:36:51,842

remorse with this type of product,

 

1313

00:36:51,842 --> 00:36:54,212

sometimes their first feeling is, wow,

 

1314

00:36:54,212 --> 00:36:56,514

I really love that low sheen look.

 

1315

00:36:56,514 --> 00:36:57,982

And then pretty soon

 

1316

00:36:57,982 --> 00:36:59,350

they go to their friends houses

 

1317

00:36:59,350 --> 00:37:00,818

that have oiled floors

 

1318

00:37:00,818 --> 00:37:02,253

or little shiny or whatever.

 

1319

00:37:02,253 --> 00:37:03,487

And I'll certainly think to themselves

 

1320

00:37:03,487 --> 00:37:06,290

their floor looks lifeless and dull.

 

1321

00:37:06,290 --> 00:37:09,293

Well, if there is a buyer's remorse,

 

1322

00:37:09,660 --> 00:37:10,595

I know with craft oil

 

1323

00:37:10,595 --> 00:37:11,796

and some other products out there

 

1324

00:37:11,796 --> 00:37:13,164

you can record these with.

 

1325

00:37:13,164 --> 00:37:14,332

You always use a two component

 

1326

00:37:14,332 --> 00:37:17,001

water base, finish on top of these.

 

1327

00:37:18,236 --> 00:37:19,170

Well, especially with the

 

1328

00:37:19,170 --> 00:37:19,971

bonus system

 

1329

00:37:19,971 --> 00:37:23,207

and the bona craft oil and Traffic HD.

 

1330

00:37:23,241 --> 00:37:25,209

They're both a nice design and hardener,

 

1331

00:37:25,209 --> 00:37:27,578

so just going to stick to each other

 

1332

00:37:27,578 --> 00:37:29,447

like magnets. Yep.

 

1333

00:37:29,447 --> 00:37:31,282

So let's talk about maintenance

 

1334

00:37:31,282 --> 00:37:31,816

a little bit.

 

1335

00:37:31,816 --> 00:37:33,417

When we when we came out,

 

1336

00:37:33,417 --> 00:37:34,118

I remember years

 

1337

00:37:34,118 --> 00:37:34,719

and years ago

 

1338

00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:35,920

when we were going to come out

 

1339

00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:37,888

with this product in America,

 

1340

00:37:37,888 --> 00:37:39,123

and we brought contractors

 

1341

00:37:39,123 --> 00:37:42,093

from the East Coast,

 

1342

00:37:42,293 --> 00:37:44,295

Miami down in Florida,

 

1343

00:37:44,295 --> 00:37:45,396

and we brought contractors

 

1344

00:37:45,396 --> 00:37:47,231

from the West Coast,

 

1345

00:37:47,231 --> 00:37:48,532

San Francisco and LA.

 

1346

00:37:48,532 --> 00:37:50,635

And we brought contractors from New York

 

1347

00:37:50,635 --> 00:37:51,802

because, you know, when,

 

1348

00:37:51,802 --> 00:37:54,138

when trends happen in America,

 

1349

00:37:54,138 --> 00:37:55,172

usually the way it works,

 

1350

00:37:55,172 --> 00:37:56,674

it starts on the East Coast,

 

1351

00:37:56,674 --> 00:37:58,676

West Coast, New York, and it works

 

1352

00:37:58,676 --> 00:38:00,611

its way to Middle America, right?

 

1353

00:38:00,611 --> 00:38:02,980

So we brought a bunch of contractors

 

1354

00:38:02,980 --> 00:38:04,382

in, and these were studs

 

1355

00:38:04,382 --> 00:38:06,083

whose were phenomenal contractors

 

1356

00:38:06,083 --> 00:38:08,019

that did a lot of this type of work.

 

1357

00:38:08,019 --> 00:38:08,586

And we asked them,

 

1358

00:38:08,586 --> 00:38:09,153

what do you like

 

1359

00:38:09,153 --> 00:38:10,655

about this type of floors?

 

1360

00:38:10,655 --> 00:38:11,756

What don't you like about it,

 

1361

00:38:11,756 --> 00:38:13,658

blah, blah, blah, the whole process.

 

1362

00:38:13,658 --> 00:38:14,692

And then the conversation

 

1363

00:38:14,692 --> 00:38:16,260

came to maintenance

 

1364

00:38:16,260 --> 00:38:17,128

and this would really

 

1365

00:38:17,128 --> 00:38:18,062

kind of surprise me.

 

1366

00:38:19,297 --> 00:38:20,298

Or I thought some

 

1367

00:38:20,298 --> 00:38:21,265

of them would be saying, yeah, well,

 

1368

00:38:21,265 --> 00:38:23,234

the maintenance is kind of a negative

 

1369

00:38:23,234 --> 00:38:25,336

to a man.

 

1370

00:38:25,336 --> 00:38:25,903

They said, no,

 

1371

00:38:25,903 --> 00:38:26,270

the maintenance

 

1372

00:38:26,270 --> 00:38:27,138

is one of the best things.

 

1373

00:38:27,138 --> 00:38:28,072

But I mean, this, this

 

1374

00:38:28,072 --> 00:38:29,440

we love the maintenance.

 

1375

00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,076

This is very, really easy money

 

1376

00:38:32,076 --> 00:38:33,611

because like I said,

 

1377

00:38:33,611 --> 00:38:36,147

when that we made such a dramatic effect

 

1378

00:38:36,147 --> 00:38:37,214

when we went to that lady's home,

 

1379

00:38:37,214 --> 00:38:38,649

they complained about it.

 

1380

00:38:38,649 --> 00:38:39,450

You know, it's two of us.

 

1381

00:38:39,450 --> 00:38:41,786

It's been three quarters of a day

 

1382

00:38:41,786 --> 00:38:42,720

and really one of us

 

1383

00:38:42,720 --> 00:38:45,723

could probably done the job, you know?

 

1384

00:38:46,157 --> 00:38:48,292

And,

 

1385

00:38:48,292 --> 00:38:49,393

it was easy money.

 

1386

00:38:49,393 --> 00:38:50,961

It was beautiful looking.

 

1387

00:38:50,961 --> 00:38:52,863

And,

 

1388

00:38:52,863 --> 00:38:55,766

so it is, I, I put it down in a column

 

1389

00:38:55,766 --> 00:38:57,068

for these type of floors.

 

1390

00:38:57,068 --> 00:38:59,503

Creates a maintenance opportunity.

 

1391

00:38:59,503 --> 00:39:02,073

Yeah.

 

1392

00:39:02,073 --> 00:39:03,107

And I'm in the same.

 

1393

00:39:03,107 --> 00:39:04,642

I'm in the same boat. You rent,

 

1394

00:39:06,143 --> 00:39:08,245

because, during the classes,

 

1395

00:39:08,245 --> 00:39:09,680

I'm always talking about, remember,

 

1396

00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,683

if you're going to sell this or a client,

 

1397

00:39:12,750 --> 00:39:14,151

you got to talk about the maintenance.

 

1398

00:39:14,151 --> 00:39:16,020

You got to have that number.

 

1399

00:39:16,020 --> 00:39:18,789

And this one guy spoke right up.

 

1400

00:39:18,789 --> 00:39:19,824

It was in new Jersey.

 

1401

00:39:19,824 --> 00:39:20,791

He spoke right up.

 

1402

00:39:20,791 --> 00:39:23,160

And he's like, I love this stuff.

 

1403

00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,563

He goes, I'm pushing it like crazy.

 

1404

00:39:25,563 --> 00:39:27,431

Reason for it.

 

1405

00:39:27,431 --> 00:39:29,200

He love the maintenance opportunity.

 

1406

00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:29,433

Yeah,

 

1407

00:39:29,433 --> 00:39:31,569

he was doing great at it

 

1408

00:39:31,569 --> 00:39:33,571

making great money, easy work.

 

1409

00:39:33,571 --> 00:39:34,739

He said

 

1410

00:39:34,739 --> 00:39:36,841

he was selling it to the class not me.

 

1411

00:39:36,841 --> 00:39:40,077

So he actually he sold me on, you know,

 

1412

00:39:40,077 --> 00:39:41,679

don't think of the maintenance

 

1413

00:39:41,679 --> 00:39:43,114

opportunity as a negative.

 

1414

00:39:43,114 --> 00:39:45,316

Think of it as a positive.

 

1415

00:39:45,316 --> 00:39:47,818

Yes.

 

1416

00:39:47,818 --> 00:39:50,821

I have some bonus information later.

 

1417

00:39:50,921 --> 00:39:53,491

But, when you,

 

1418

00:39:53,491 --> 00:39:55,292

when you clean these floors,

 

1419

00:39:55,292 --> 00:39:55,993

you don't want to.

 

1420

00:39:55,993 --> 00:39:56,660

These are floors.

 

1421

00:39:56,660 --> 00:39:57,661

You don't want to saturate

 

1422

00:39:57,661 --> 00:39:58,529

with a lot of water

 

1423

00:39:58,529 --> 00:39:59,230

because you, you know,

 

1424

00:39:59,230 --> 00:40:01,699

you start robbing the, floor of oils.

 

1425

00:40:01,699 --> 00:40:03,067

If you have, spills,

 

1426

00:40:03,067 --> 00:40:04,602

you can clean them up quickly.

 

1427

00:40:04,602 --> 00:40:05,202

There's cleaners

 

1428

00:40:05,202 --> 00:40:06,504

you can use for these products.

 

1429

00:40:08,339 --> 00:40:09,907

And, that's pretty

 

1430

00:40:09,907 --> 00:40:11,108

much if something goes wrong

 

1431

00:40:11,108 --> 00:40:13,210

with these floors,

 

1432

00:40:13,210 --> 00:40:14,879

it's usually one of those things.

 

1433

00:40:14,879 --> 00:40:17,114

And like I said, nine times out of ten,

 

1434

00:40:17,114 --> 00:40:18,482

it's maintenance related.

 

1435

00:40:18,482 --> 00:40:19,850

I wanted to talk about this a little bit.

 

1436

00:40:19,850 --> 00:40:20,851

Last,

 

1437

00:40:20,851 --> 00:40:21,852

one of the last episodes,

 

1438

00:40:21,852 --> 00:40:24,688

we had Ken Peterson on,

 

1439

00:40:24,688 --> 00:40:26,590

a retailer contractor

 

1440

00:40:26,590 --> 00:40:28,592

extraordinaire up in Canada

 

1441

00:40:28,592 --> 00:40:29,794

who did a great job talking.

 

1442

00:40:29,794 --> 00:40:30,895

We had a really good discussion

 

1443

00:40:30,895 --> 00:40:32,296

about retail,

 

1444

00:40:32,296 --> 00:40:34,799

and, also got a lot of good feedback

 

1445

00:40:34,799 --> 00:40:35,833

on that from contractors

 

1446

00:40:35,833 --> 00:40:36,734

and what have you.

 

1447

00:40:36,734 --> 00:40:37,935

But there's we didn't get to

 

1448

00:40:37,935 --> 00:40:39,937

everything I wanted to talk about.

 

1449

00:40:39,937 --> 00:40:41,739

And, in the interest of time.

 

1450

00:40:41,739 --> 00:40:42,673

So there's a,

 

1451

00:40:42,673 --> 00:40:45,676

there's a couple things I wanted to say.

 

1452

00:40:48,479 --> 00:40:48,679

You know,

 

1453

00:40:48,679 --> 00:40:50,114

we talk about a lot of times

 

1454

00:40:50,114 --> 00:40:51,248

when you have homeowners,

 

1455

00:40:51,248 --> 00:40:52,583

you offer a good, better, best.

 

1456

00:40:53,617 --> 00:40:55,286

Just one thing that was interesting

 

1457

00:40:55,286 --> 00:40:55,619

when I.

 

1458

00:40:55,619 --> 00:40:58,322

When I was talking to somebody else

 

1459

00:40:58,322 --> 00:40:59,223

where they said, let's say

 

1460

00:40:59,223 --> 00:41:01,392

you have a low end product

 

1461

00:41:01,392 --> 00:41:02,726

and that low end product,

 

1462

00:41:02,726 --> 00:41:03,360

is it

 

1463

00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:04,094

at $1

 

1464

00:41:04,094 --> 00:41:05,463

just to just

 

1465

00:41:05,463 --> 00:41:06,897

throw round numbers out there?

 

1466

00:41:06,897 --> 00:41:07,498

You know,

 

1467

00:41:07,498 --> 00:41:08,566

the homeowner sees this product.

 

1468

00:41:08,566 --> 00:41:09,767

You want low end product.

 

1469

00:41:09,767 --> 00:41:11,368

Here it is. It's $1.

 

1470

00:41:11,368 --> 00:41:12,002

And here

 

1471

00:41:12,002 --> 00:41:14,705

here's our high end product is at $5.

 

1472

00:41:14,705 --> 00:41:15,840

So if they meet the middle

 

1473

00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:17,041

the the mid-range product

 

1474

00:41:17,041 --> 00:41:18,576

is going to be around $3 a square foot.

 

1475

00:41:18,576 --> 00:41:20,044

Okay.

 

1476

00:41:20,044 --> 00:41:21,312

So but let's say

 

1477

00:41:21,312 --> 00:41:23,547

instead of doing that, you,

 

1478

00:41:23,547 --> 00:41:26,550

you low end product was $1

 

1479

00:41:27,351 --> 00:41:30,154

and your high end product was $13.

 

1480

00:41:30,154 --> 00:41:31,689

The mid-range product would be now

 

1481

00:41:31,689 --> 00:41:34,425

$7 a foot. You see what I'm saying?

 

1482

00:41:34,425 --> 00:41:37,461

And so just by a strategy of your pricing

 

1483

00:41:37,928 --> 00:41:39,830

can make a hell of a difference

 

1484

00:41:39,830 --> 00:41:40,631

at the end of the year.

 

1485

00:41:40,631 --> 00:41:42,333

On, on,

 

1486

00:41:42,333 --> 00:41:42,867

you know,

 

1487

00:41:42,867 --> 00:41:43,734

it just changes

 

1488

00:41:43,734 --> 00:41:45,903

a whole perspective in conversation.

 

1489

00:41:45,903 --> 00:41:48,172

We're now, you know, $13.

 

1490

00:41:48,172 --> 00:41:50,007

Oh, wow. That's a lot of money.

 

1491

00:41:50,007 --> 00:41:51,542

But $7 sounds a whole lot

 

1492

00:41:51,542 --> 00:41:52,776

better than that. That's that's.

 

1493

00:41:52,776 --> 00:41:54,078

Yeah, we can afford that.

 

1494

00:41:54,078 --> 00:41:55,913

Well, also, a dollar sounds like.

 

1495

00:41:55,913 --> 00:41:56,881

Why would I ever put

 

1496

00:41:56,881 --> 00:41:57,848

anything in my house?

 

1497

00:41:57,848 --> 00:41:59,383

It was for a buck.

 

1498

00:41:59,383 --> 00:42:01,418

True. But I'm just using, you know,

 

1499

00:42:02,653 --> 00:42:04,822

round numbers just for, for example.

 

1500

00:42:04,822 --> 00:42:05,856

No, I get what you mean.

 

1501

00:42:05,856 --> 00:42:07,958

But if it's that crazy

 

1502

00:42:07,958 --> 00:42:10,060

I'm looking at, that's

 

1503

00:42:10,060 --> 00:42:12,162

that's got to be a cheap, cheap product

 

1504

00:42:12,162 --> 00:42:13,130

I wouldn't want

 

1505

00:42:13,130 --> 00:42:15,633

if it's that much of a ratio.

 

1506

00:42:15,633 --> 00:42:18,168

Correct. Yeah.

 

1507

00:42:18,168 --> 00:42:18,769

It's nothing.

 

1508

00:42:18,769 --> 00:42:19,603

Nothing like to

 

1509

00:42:19,603 --> 00:42:20,471

when someone guides

 

1510

00:42:20,471 --> 00:42:22,006

you to, to the cheap products

 

1511

00:42:22,006 --> 00:42:22,740

without even knowing

 

1512

00:42:22,740 --> 00:42:25,743

what your expectations are.

 

1513

00:42:27,545 --> 00:42:30,681

My, friends went to, my friends went to.

 

1514

00:42:30,981 --> 00:42:32,816

They're young kids, but they're nurses.

 

1515

00:42:32,816 --> 00:42:33,751

They got

 

1516

00:42:33,751 --> 00:42:35,019

they got it going on their young,

 

1517

00:42:35,019 --> 00:42:36,687

and they got a lot of money.

 

1518

00:42:36,687 --> 00:42:39,256

And they were in, Florida

 

1519

00:42:39,256 --> 00:42:42,259

in one of those Lulu's or one of those,

 

1520

00:42:42,326 --> 00:42:44,094

you know, shops.

 

1521

00:42:44,094 --> 00:42:44,361

It all,

 

1522

00:42:44,361 --> 00:42:45,663

all the people are shopping there

 

1523

00:42:45,663 --> 00:42:48,198

and they're expensive, you know,

 

1524

00:42:48,198 --> 00:42:49,900

and the sales lady brought them right

 

1525

00:42:49,900 --> 00:42:50,601

to the,

 

1526

00:42:50,601 --> 00:42:51,335

to the racks

 

1527

00:42:51,335 --> 00:42:52,803

of where everything was on sale.

 

1528

00:42:54,238 --> 00:42:56,507

I mean, and they were insulted by it,

 

1529

00:42:56,507 --> 00:42:57,541

you know what I mean?

 

1530

00:42:57,541 --> 00:43:00,144

So that's how pretty funny.

 

1531

00:43:00,144 --> 00:43:02,246

Didn't the car salesman do that to you?

 

1532

00:43:02,246 --> 00:43:03,180

I talk about that.

 

1533

00:43:03,180 --> 00:43:04,381

I was going to use it as an example,

 

1534

00:43:04,381 --> 00:43:05,849

but I think I've talked about it so much.

 

1535

00:43:05,849 --> 00:43:07,685

But yeah, on that one a lot. Yeah.

 

1536

00:43:07,685 --> 00:43:08,752

He looked at you and said,

 

1537

00:43:08,752 --> 00:43:10,187

oh, this guy's a bum.

 

1538

00:43:10,187 --> 00:43:10,955

Yeah.

 

1539

00:43:10,955 --> 00:43:12,089

Here's a, here's

 

1540

00:43:12,089 --> 00:43:13,891

some you stuff over here.

 

1541

00:43:13,891 --> 00:43:16,860

Yeah, yeah. So,

 

1542

00:43:16,860 --> 00:43:19,029

the second thing is,

 

1543

00:43:19,029 --> 00:43:21,332

changing your website and a big one

 

1544

00:43:21,332 --> 00:43:22,199

that really helped

 

1545

00:43:22,199 --> 00:43:24,068

a lot of guys is changing the, web

 

1546

00:43:24,068 --> 00:43:25,202

to texting

 

1547

00:43:25,202 --> 00:43:25,536

the web

 

1548

00:43:25,536 --> 00:43:28,539

to text messaging on their website.

 

1549

00:43:29,173 --> 00:43:32,176

That's a nice option to really keep the

 

1550

00:43:32,509 --> 00:43:34,211

the clients there longer

 

1551

00:43:34,211 --> 00:43:36,347

and to, engage with them,

 

1552

00:43:36,347 --> 00:43:37,247

a whole lot better

 

1553

00:43:37,247 --> 00:43:39,850

than not having that, that process.

 

1554

00:43:39,850 --> 00:43:40,951

And the last thing is,

 

1555

00:43:40,951 --> 00:43:42,920

I've talked about this book before,

 

1556

00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:44,788

but I heard another person talk about it.

 

1557

00:43:44,788 --> 00:43:45,689

The book that changed

 

1558

00:43:45,689 --> 00:43:48,525

their life is the E-myth book.

 

1559

00:43:48,525 --> 00:43:50,060

So there's E-myth revisited.

 

1560

00:43:51,528 --> 00:43:52,930

I can't say enough about that book.

 

1561

00:43:52,930 --> 00:43:55,799

It really was, you know, it

 

1562

00:43:55,799 --> 00:43:56,133

it was

 

1563

00:43:56,133 --> 00:43:58,068

I was like 25 years in the business

 

1564

00:43:58,068 --> 00:43:59,503

before I read that book.

 

1565

00:43:59,503 --> 00:44:00,270

And I have to say this,

 

1566

00:44:00,270 --> 00:44:00,738

the one book

 

1567

00:44:00,738 --> 00:44:03,540

that changed everything for me,

 

1568

00:44:03,540 --> 00:44:05,709

and another,

 

1569

00:44:05,709 --> 00:44:07,244

because

 

1570

00:44:07,244 --> 00:44:09,513

when I read that book, every single page

 

1571

00:44:09,513 --> 00:44:10,214

I was turning

 

1572

00:44:10,214 --> 00:44:13,217

was making me sick to my stomach.

 

1573

00:44:16,253 --> 00:44:19,256

And I.

 

1574

00:44:19,923 --> 00:44:22,326

Because I was the guy in the book,

 

1575

00:44:22,326 --> 00:44:25,129

and I told the story before way

 

1576

00:44:25,129 --> 00:44:27,131

I met this a retailer very.

 

1577

00:44:27,131 --> 00:44:28,766

Not a retailer or a distributor.

 

1578

00:44:28,766 --> 00:44:31,769

Very, very successful distributor.

 

1579

00:44:34,071 --> 00:44:35,639

And he told me, he goes, you know what?

 

1580

00:44:35,639 --> 00:44:38,942

I was 20 years old in the business.

 

1581

00:44:38,942 --> 00:44:41,011

I wanted to have 2 or 3 stores.

 

1582

00:44:41,011 --> 00:44:42,079

I wanted to be more successful.

 

1583

00:44:42,079 --> 00:44:43,380

But I left the point

 

1584

00:44:43,380 --> 00:44:46,150

when I realized, well, I'm just I'm just

 

1585

00:44:46,150 --> 00:44:46,583

I'm never going

 

1586

00:44:46,583 --> 00:44:47,851

to have more than one store.

 

1587

00:44:47,851 --> 00:44:49,620

So this is what it is.

 

1588

00:44:49,620 --> 00:44:52,322

And, a guy came by and visit him and,

 

1589

00:44:52,322 --> 00:44:55,125

said, look, this guy is doing a seminar,

 

1590

00:44:55,125 --> 00:44:57,428

this Friday if you'd like to come by.

 

1591

00:44:57,428 --> 00:44:57,861

And,

 

1592

00:44:58,929 --> 00:44:59,396

he goes, I

 

1593

00:44:59,396 --> 00:45:02,399

blew the kid off because,

 

1594

00:45:02,399 --> 00:45:03,267

you know, he's a young kid.

 

1595

00:45:03,267 --> 00:45:04,168

What are you going to teach me

 

1596

00:45:04,168 --> 00:45:05,436

right out of college?

 

1597

00:45:05,436 --> 00:45:06,637

And the guy goes, no, you really?

 

1598

00:45:06,637 --> 00:45:07,871

If somehow he convinced the guy

 

1599

00:45:07,871 --> 00:45:08,706

to go to the

 

1600

00:45:08,706 --> 00:45:10,674

the the convention

 

1601

00:45:10,674 --> 00:45:12,576

like it was about this book,

 

1602

00:45:12,576 --> 00:45:13,944

the guy bought the book,

 

1603

00:45:13,944 --> 00:45:15,446

and now he doesn't know I read the book.

 

1604

00:45:15,446 --> 00:45:16,647

He's telling me this story.

 

1605

00:45:16,647 --> 00:45:18,782

I've never seen anything about this book.

 

1606

00:45:18,782 --> 00:45:19,483

And this guy said,

 

1607

00:45:19,483 --> 00:45:21,652

so I bought the book, that e-myth book.

 

1608

00:45:21,652 --> 00:45:23,721

And he said, word for word, what I said,

 

1609

00:45:23,721 --> 00:45:25,856

he goes, Wayne,

 

1610

00:45:25,856 --> 00:45:27,157

at every turn of the page,

 

1611

00:45:27,157 --> 00:45:29,359

I was getting sicker to my stomach

 

1612

00:45:29,359 --> 00:45:31,662

because I was the same guy in that book.

 

1613

00:45:31,662 --> 00:45:33,530

I said, I can't not believe it.

 

1614

00:45:33,530 --> 00:45:34,331

I can't believe

 

1615

00:45:34,331 --> 00:45:36,033

you're saying that right now.

 

1616

00:45:36,033 --> 00:45:36,600

He goes, why?

 

1617

00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,102

I said, because I had the exact

 

1618

00:45:38,102 --> 00:45:38,936

same experience.

 

1619

00:45:39,903 --> 00:45:41,205

So it talks

 

1620

00:45:41,205 --> 00:45:42,639

about being able to scale

 

1621

00:45:42,639 --> 00:45:44,274

and and how to grow and what have you.

 

1622

00:45:44,274 --> 00:45:46,643

So,

 

1623

00:45:46,643 --> 00:45:49,646

the last book is a book called Traction.

 

1624

00:45:49,646 --> 00:45:51,949

I, I,

 

1625

00:45:51,949 --> 00:45:54,752

met a guy in, in,

 

1626

00:45:54,752 --> 00:45:57,121

presentation who said,

 

1627

00:45:57,121 --> 00:45:57,921

and this guy is

 

1628

00:45:57,921 --> 00:46:00,924

but multiple, multiple stores,

 

1629

00:46:01,291 --> 00:46:03,861

retail stores, over $10 million apiece.

 

1630

00:46:03,861 --> 00:46:04,962

And he said, by far

 

1631

00:46:04,962 --> 00:46:06,130

and away the best book

 

1632

00:46:06,130 --> 00:46:06,764

he's ever

 

1633

00:46:06,764 --> 00:46:08,265

written is for business

 

1634

00:46:08,265 --> 00:46:09,900

is a book called traction.

 

1635

00:46:09,900 --> 00:46:11,001

So there you go.

 

1636

00:46:11,001 --> 00:46:12,136

I just want to throw those out there

 

1637

00:46:12,136 --> 00:46:13,771

because

 

1638

00:46:13,771 --> 00:46:15,939

it might help somebody somewhere.

 

1639

00:46:15,939 --> 00:46:17,941

And and also the retail episode

 

1640

00:46:17,941 --> 00:46:20,410

I want people to take away as a negative

 

1641

00:46:20,410 --> 00:46:23,280

that, you know, what's the point?

 

1642

00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:24,414

I mean, it's too hard to do

 

1643

00:46:24,414 --> 00:46:24,982

and what have you,

 

1644

00:46:24,982 --> 00:46:26,049

because obviously some people

 

1645

00:46:26,049 --> 00:46:27,985

are wildly successful at it.

 

1646

00:46:27,985 --> 00:46:29,686

So there you go.

 

1647

00:46:32,256 --> 00:46:33,757

Did you want to yarn one more time

 

1648

00:46:33,757 --> 00:46:35,492

before the episode is over or.

 

1649

00:46:35,492 --> 00:46:37,027

No. I'm good. No.

 

1650

00:46:37,027 --> 00:46:38,162

Yeah. Feeling good?

 

1651

00:46:38,162 --> 00:46:38,762

Yeah.

 

1652

00:46:38,762 --> 00:46:39,830

Move some papers around.

 

1653

00:46:39,830 --> 00:46:41,965

Maybe. No.

 

1654

00:46:41,965 --> 00:46:42,499

No. Yeah.

 

1655

00:46:42,499 --> 00:46:43,367

I think that was you

 

1656

00:46:43,367 --> 00:46:45,235

moving papers around.

 

1657

00:46:45,235 --> 00:46:47,504

Well, it could have been both of us,

 

1658

00:46:47,504 --> 00:46:49,006

but mine were actually, for the years

 

1659

00:46:49,006 --> 00:46:51,341

were very, very important. And.

 

1660

00:46:51,341 --> 00:46:53,877

Yeah, right, I get it.

 

1661

00:46:53,877 --> 00:46:56,880

We all get it.

 

1662

00:46:58,015 --> 00:46:59,583

But my important,

 

1663

00:46:59,583 --> 00:47:01,318

my papers are important. Yours are.

 

1664

00:47:01,318 --> 00:47:02,553

Your papers are always more

 

1665

00:47:02,553 --> 00:47:04,588

important than mine. Yes, yes. Thank you.

 

1666

00:47:04,588 --> 00:47:05,656

Well thank you Rob.

 

1667

00:47:05,656 --> 00:47:06,723

I even wrote down the books

 

1668

00:47:06,723 --> 00:47:08,425

that, I'll never read.

 

1669

00:47:08,425 --> 00:47:10,260

How do you spell traction now?

 

1670

00:47:10,260 --> 00:47:12,963

You don't have to tell me, Tara.

 

1671

00:47:12,963 --> 00:47:15,766

Till when you got it.

 

1672

00:47:15,766 --> 00:47:17,634

Okay. Sorry I did that to you.

 

1673

00:47:17,634 --> 00:47:19,036

That was insulting.

 

1674

00:47:19,036 --> 00:47:21,538

I got I got the ball on that one.

 

1675

00:47:21,538 --> 00:47:22,172

You know, I,

 

1676

00:47:23,240 --> 00:47:24,341

speaking of that, I

 

1677

00:47:24,341 --> 00:47:27,778

saw a video, the other day, and it,

 

1678

00:47:28,745 --> 00:47:29,913

you could probably relate to this

 

1679

00:47:29,913 --> 00:47:32,216

because you coached,

 

1680

00:47:32,216 --> 00:47:34,351

this guy said, when,

 

1681

00:47:34,351 --> 00:47:36,019

you know, he coaches Little League

 

1682

00:47:36,019 --> 00:47:37,988

and when players would show up late

 

1683

00:47:37,988 --> 00:47:39,456

for Little League,

 

1684

00:47:39,456 --> 00:47:41,091

he would always be little because.

 

1685

00:47:41,091 --> 00:47:42,693

Oh, yeah, you're finally here.

 

1686

00:47:42,693 --> 00:47:44,428

Well, nice to have you here.

 

1687

00:47:44,428 --> 00:47:45,529

You know, and blah, blah, blah.

 

1688

00:47:45,529 --> 00:47:46,530

And he would he'd

 

1689

00:47:46,530 --> 00:47:48,632

make him run laps or whatever.

 

1690

00:47:48,632 --> 00:47:50,467

And then he started realizing

 

1691

00:47:50,467 --> 00:47:51,034

that kid had.

 

1692

00:47:51,034 --> 00:47:52,135

No, it's

 

1693

00:47:52,135 --> 00:47:53,637

his parents that brought him there late.

 

1694

00:47:53,637 --> 00:47:55,172

It wasn't the kid's fault.

 

1695

00:47:55,172 --> 00:47:56,907

So instead of,

 

1696

00:47:56,907 --> 00:47:58,141

instead of belittling the kids

 

1697

00:47:58,141 --> 00:47:59,009

for being late,

 

1698

00:47:59,009 --> 00:48:00,310

he would,

 

1699

00:48:00,310 --> 00:48:00,844

say, look,

 

1700

00:48:00,844 --> 00:48:01,812

at least when you get out of the car,

 

1701

00:48:01,812 --> 00:48:02,946

run to practice, all right?

 

1702

00:48:02,946 --> 00:48:04,147

We're happy to have you here.

 

1703

00:48:04,147 --> 00:48:05,649

But do the doobie favorite run,

 

1704

00:48:05,649 --> 00:48:07,384

run to practice from the car.

 

1705

00:48:07,384 --> 00:48:09,086

And that was it. And he stopped.

 

1706

00:48:09,086 --> 00:48:10,120

He stopped being, like,

 

1707

00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:12,456

passive aggressive like that. So.

 

1708

00:48:14,691 --> 00:48:15,025

There you go.

 

1709

00:48:15,025 --> 00:48:16,226

I hope you learned something from that.

 

1710

00:48:16,226 --> 00:48:17,127

Yeah, yeah.

 

1711

00:48:17,127 --> 00:48:20,130

Thanks again.

 

1712

00:48:21,798 --> 00:48:22,199

Why?

 

1713

00:48:22,199 --> 00:48:23,166

Why would anybody yell

 

1714

00:48:23,166 --> 00:48:24,468

at a 12 year old for being late?

 

1715

00:48:24,468 --> 00:48:26,870

Of course it's the parents. Yeah.

 

1716

00:48:26,870 --> 00:48:28,639

All right. We hit.

 

1717

00:48:28,639 --> 00:48:30,874

Yes. There you go.

 

1718

00:48:30,874 --> 00:48:31,541

What else do I know?

 

1719

00:48:31,541 --> 00:48:32,709

I was going to throw in a recipe

 

1720

00:48:32,709 --> 00:48:34,778

I learned the other day for for

 

1721

00:48:34,778 --> 00:48:35,913

crumb cakes, but I.

 

1722

00:48:35,913 --> 00:48:38,916

I think I'll stop right there.

 

1723

00:48:39,549 --> 00:48:40,951

All right, Rob, listen,

 

1724

00:48:40,951 --> 00:48:41,685

this is the last time

 

1725

00:48:41,685 --> 00:48:43,220

I'm going to see you,

 

1726

00:48:43,220 --> 00:48:45,222

before Thanksgiving.

 

1727

00:48:45,222 --> 00:48:46,723

I know,

 

1728

00:48:46,723 --> 00:48:47,457

1729

00:48:47,457 --> 00:48:49,092

For our contractors.

 

1732

00:48:52,562 --> 00:48:52,930

I hope you

 

1733

00:48:52,930 --> 00:48:54,164

Thank you very much for listening.
