and welcome to another episode

 

3

00:00:13,513 --> 00:00:15,248

of On the Floor with Wayne and Rob.

 

4

00:00:15,248 --> 00:00:15,749

I'm Wayne

 

5

00:00:15,749 --> 00:00:16,983

Highlander National Sales

 

6

00:00:16,983 --> 00:00:18,852

Manager for BonA Adhesives.

 

7

00:00:18,852 --> 00:00:22,389

I'm Rob Johnson from Bona Training.

 

8

00:00:22,455 --> 00:00:23,823

Are we doing Rob?

 

9

00:00:23,823 --> 00:00:26,092

Pretty good. Wayne. How you doing today?

 

10

00:00:26,092 --> 00:00:26,860

I'm doing well.

 

11

00:00:26,860 --> 00:00:29,462

Good to see you again.

 

12

00:00:29,462 --> 00:00:31,664

Boy, a lot of feedback

 

13

00:00:31,664 --> 00:00:34,567

from the tough Guy episode.

 

14

00:00:34,567 --> 00:00:36,236

One feedback from there.

 

15

00:00:36,236 --> 00:00:36,803

We've been

 

16

00:00:36,803 --> 00:00:38,405

getting a lot of great emails

 

17

00:00:38,405 --> 00:00:41,241

and this is just what I was hoping for.

 

18

00:00:41,241 --> 00:00:43,243

Everybody just throwing their tough guy

 

19

00:00:43,243 --> 00:00:45,645

at us.

 

20

00:00:45,645 --> 00:00:46,579

You screwed the pooch.

 

21

00:00:46,579 --> 00:00:48,815

We screwed the pooch on that one.

 

22

00:00:48,815 --> 00:00:49,416

Well,

 

23

00:00:49,416 --> 00:00:50,917

I don't think I don't think

 

24

00:00:50,917 --> 00:00:51,918

we screwed the pooch.

 

25

00:00:51,918 --> 00:00:54,187

We can only do five, you know?

 

26

00:00:54,187 --> 00:00:56,489

Yeah, that's true. That's true.

 

27

00:00:56,489 --> 00:00:57,891

We can only do five.

 

28

00:00:57,891 --> 00:01:01,528

I even got an email from Bill Price,

 

29

00:01:01,628 --> 00:01:04,297

and he's got a big issue with, you know,

 

30

00:01:04,297 --> 00:01:07,767

I think. And Robert Shaw was a tough guy.

 

31

00:01:07,867 --> 00:01:10,637

I still don't know.

 

32

00:01:10,637 --> 00:01:11,971

But don't get me wrong, I know Billy

 

33

00:01:11,971 --> 00:01:15,942

Price is an authority on tough guys,

 

34

00:01:16,009 --> 00:01:18,745

but

 

35

00:01:18,745 --> 00:01:20,647

we did leave out Chuck Norris,

 

36

00:01:20,647 --> 00:01:23,583

which that was a really an oversight man.

 

37

00:01:23,583 --> 00:01:25,385

That was that was.

 

38

00:01:25,385 --> 00:01:28,088

And yeah, that was a mistake.

 

39

00:01:28,088 --> 00:01:30,290

Someone called us on them, deservedly so.

 

40

00:01:30,290 --> 00:01:33,126

And they did call us on Chuck Norris.

 

41

00:01:33,126 --> 00:01:34,494

Yeah,

 

42

00:01:34,494 --> 00:01:37,964

we had a bunch of we got a few calls.

 

43

00:01:38,031 --> 00:01:38,698

I feel like

 

44

00:01:38,698 --> 00:01:39,732

I feel like we would have been

 

45

00:01:39,732 --> 00:01:43,069

okay if your list was any good.

 

46

00:01:43,169 --> 00:01:44,270

of course that's me.

 

47

00:01:44,270 --> 00:01:45,238

Yeah, That's

 

48

00:01:45,238 --> 00:01:45,905

if you would have came

 

49

00:01:45,905 --> 00:01:47,540

through on your side,

 

50

00:01:47,540 --> 00:01:49,676

I think we would have a cover.

 

51

00:01:49,676 --> 00:01:52,579

I can't believe you're not a golfer.

 

52

00:01:52,579 --> 00:01:54,547

No. Not.

 

53

00:01:54,547 --> 00:01:55,949

I can't believe you ever played

 

54

00:01:55,949 --> 00:01:56,883

on a team sport.

 

55

00:01:56,883 --> 00:01:59,786

You're clueless on not playing a team.

 

56

00:01:59,786 --> 00:02:03,056

Clueless.

 

57

00:02:03,156 --> 00:02:04,324

Well, you know what?

 

58

00:02:04,324 --> 00:02:05,258

Wait a minute.

 

59

00:02:05,258 --> 00:02:07,594

No, that explains the whole

 

60

00:02:07,594 --> 00:02:09,696

fishing alone type thing.

 

61

00:02:09,696 --> 00:02:11,231

Well, that might be true.

 

62

00:02:11,231 --> 00:02:14,767

Yes. All right.

 

63

00:02:14,834 --> 00:02:16,035

We are going to talk today

 

64

00:02:16,035 --> 00:02:19,272

about removing a hair from finished.

 

65

00:02:19,339 --> 00:02:21,374

Everybody's had to do it at one time.

 

66

00:02:21,374 --> 00:02:22,575

And, you know, even before

 

67

00:02:22,575 --> 00:02:24,410

get to that point, Rob,

 

68

00:02:24,410 --> 00:02:26,613

we've all been there on a jobsite

 

69

00:02:26,613 --> 00:02:28,982

and it's kind of a life defining moment

 

70

00:02:28,982 --> 00:02:30,517

when you're coating the floor

 

71

00:02:30,517 --> 00:02:33,253

and your you're working your way back out

 

72

00:02:33,253 --> 00:02:36,556

and way up ahead

 

73

00:02:36,656 --> 00:02:38,291

about 20 feet out or 15 feet out,

 

74

00:02:38,291 --> 00:02:40,326

you see a hair

 

75

00:02:40,326 --> 00:02:43,296

and, you know, the finishes drying,

 

76

00:02:43,296 --> 00:02:45,131

but you see the hair.

 

77

00:02:45,131 --> 00:02:46,799

It's kind of a life

 

78

00:02:46,799 --> 00:02:47,734

defining moment, right?

 

79

00:02:47,734 --> 00:02:49,402

As I said, I mean, it's it's a

 

80

00:02:49,402 --> 00:02:51,404

it's like a a life and death.

 

81

00:02:51,404 --> 00:02:52,071

I mean, what do you do?

 

82

00:02:52,071 --> 00:02:53,239

I mean, you get a split

 

83

00:02:53,239 --> 00:02:54,107

second to think about

 

84

00:02:54,107 --> 00:02:55,141

it is to finish, to dry,

 

85

00:02:55,141 --> 00:02:56,743

to go out and get it.

 

86

00:02:56,743 --> 00:02:58,111

Or do

 

87

00:02:58,111 --> 00:02:59,179

I just make a break for it

 

88

00:02:59,179 --> 00:03:00,113

and try to get the hair out

 

89

00:03:00,113 --> 00:03:01,981

and cut my way back out?

 

90

00:03:01,981 --> 00:03:04,384

I mean, it's like it's like, you know,

 

91

00:03:04,384 --> 00:03:07,086

the Marines don't leave a fallen comrade

 

92

00:03:07,086 --> 00:03:07,554

out there.

 

93

00:03:07,554 --> 00:03:09,956

Right. You know, what do I do?

 

94

00:03:09,956 --> 00:03:10,590

You go down

 

95

00:03:10,590 --> 00:03:11,291

and get the camera

 

96

00:03:11,291 --> 00:03:13,026

and probably get shot or you

 

97

00:03:13,026 --> 00:03:15,361

just, you know, just not do it.

 

98

00:03:15,361 --> 00:03:16,930

I think I think going out

 

99

00:03:16,930 --> 00:03:17,630

and getting out here

 

100

00:03:17,630 --> 00:03:19,032

in the middle of a cold

 

101

00:03:19,032 --> 00:03:20,366

that's already wet

 

102

00:03:20,366 --> 00:03:23,236

is a scary proposition.

 

103

00:03:23,336 --> 00:03:25,605

And there's there's nothing.

 

104

00:03:25,605 --> 00:03:28,241

Even if it's 15. Yeah.

 

105

00:03:28,241 --> 00:03:29,976

Matt, maybe.

 

106

00:03:29,976 --> 00:03:31,377

You know, 20 feet, though,

 

107

00:03:31,377 --> 00:03:34,380

you, you know, you.

 

108

00:03:34,447 --> 00:03:34,847

Yeah.

 

109

00:03:34,847 --> 00:03:36,616

You know, it's a minefield.

 

110

00:03:36,616 --> 00:03:38,718

It's like going through a minefield.

 

111

00:03:38,718 --> 00:03:40,553

Yeah, I like it. If you're.

 

112

00:03:40,553 --> 00:03:41,254

If you're on a job,

 

113

00:03:41,254 --> 00:03:42,355

like two or three guys

 

114

00:03:42,355 --> 00:03:43,523

and a guy sees one,

 

115

00:03:43,523 --> 00:03:45,491

especially like 20 feet out

 

116

00:03:45,491 --> 00:03:45,858

when he,

 

117

00:03:45,858 --> 00:03:47,393

when he makes that decision to go out

 

118

00:03:47,393 --> 00:03:49,295

and get that here,

 

119

00:03:49,295 --> 00:03:50,763

the rest of dude, you're like,

 

120

00:03:50,763 --> 00:03:51,798

dead quiet, man.

 

121

00:03:51,798 --> 00:03:52,498

I mean, like, dude,

 

122

00:03:52,498 --> 00:03:53,366

you're taking their heads off

 

123

00:03:53,366 --> 00:03:55,435

and clutching on to their chest.

 

124

00:03:55,435 --> 00:03:56,369

You know what I mean?

 

125

00:03:56,369 --> 00:03:57,237

I mean, you know,

 

126

00:03:57,237 --> 00:03:58,705

then usually you get the cheerleader guy

 

127

00:03:58,705 --> 00:03:59,706

that goes, Come on, man.

 

128

00:03:59,706 --> 00:04:00,506

You got it, man.

 

129

00:04:00,506 --> 00:04:01,274

You got this, man.

 

130

00:04:01,274 --> 00:04:04,110

I'll buy you lunch if you can get this.

 

131

00:04:04,110 --> 00:04:08,715

But that's a tough call, man.

 

132

00:04:08,815 --> 00:04:10,283

And to do that gets to hear, like,

 

133

00:04:10,283 --> 00:04:11,517

if you're the guy that goes out there

 

134

00:04:11,517 --> 00:04:13,086

and you get the hair successfully

 

135

00:04:13,086 --> 00:04:14,354

and you bring it back, like,

 

136

00:04:14,354 --> 00:04:15,221

you know, that's like a trophy.

 

137

00:04:15,221 --> 00:04:16,122

Like you bring in,

 

138

00:04:16,122 --> 00:04:16,990

you know,

 

139

00:04:16,990 --> 00:04:18,224

you bring in that little six

 

140

00:04:18,224 --> 00:04:19,025

inch your bag, man.

 

141

00:04:19,025 --> 00:04:19,826

They could have got you

 

142

00:04:19,826 --> 00:04:21,227

from getting that check.

 

143

00:04:21,227 --> 00:04:21,961

I mean, he's the man.

 

144

00:04:21,961 --> 00:04:23,329

Now, when it comes

 

145

00:04:23,329 --> 00:04:24,664

the end of the day and, you know,

 

146

00:04:24,664 --> 00:04:25,632

everybody else is cleaning up

 

147

00:04:25,632 --> 00:04:26,165

all the tools

 

148

00:04:26,165 --> 00:04:27,400

you sitting on his side of the band

 

149

00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,335

with the keyboard clutched in his hand,

 

150

00:04:29,335 --> 00:04:29,769

You know what I mean?

 

151

00:04:29,769 --> 00:04:30,637

And no one

 

152

00:04:30,637 --> 00:04:31,938

no one bothers him about cleaning up.

 

153

00:04:31,938 --> 00:04:33,106

Now you're the guy.

 

154

00:04:33,106 --> 00:04:34,741

Now everybody else clean up.

 

155

00:04:34,741 --> 00:04:35,441

No one ever gives you

 

156

00:04:35,441 --> 00:04:37,877

any hassle about it.

 

157

00:04:37,944 --> 00:04:38,311

And I've

 

158

00:04:38,311 --> 00:04:39,846

seen where guys like, go to grab,

 

159

00:04:39,846 --> 00:04:40,513

you know, everything else

 

160

00:04:40,513 --> 00:04:42,081

in a truck with the guy's T-bar.

 

161

00:04:42,081 --> 00:04:43,483

He goes on and T-bar for you

 

162

00:04:43,483 --> 00:04:44,784

and you still got like a death grip

 

163

00:04:44,784 --> 00:04:46,386

on the Tea Party. We'll let it go.

 

164

00:04:46,386 --> 00:04:47,020

You know what I mean?

 

165

00:04:47,020 --> 00:04:50,423

Like the fight of war know,

 

166

00:04:50,523 --> 00:04:51,324

Or sometimes you see

 

167

00:04:51,324 --> 00:04:52,358

the floor is already,

 

168

00:04:52,358 --> 00:04:53,726

you know, it's like skin over.

 

169

00:04:53,726 --> 00:04:54,727

It's too it's

 

170

00:04:54,727 --> 00:04:56,262

it's hopeless to go after that hair.

 

171

00:04:56,262 --> 00:04:58,364

You know, It's not it's

 

172

00:04:58,364 --> 00:04:59,132

not where you can

 

173

00:04:59,132 --> 00:05:00,566

you can cut your way out. It's too late.

 

174

00:05:00,566 --> 00:05:02,302

And yet he goes out after it anyhow,

 

175

00:05:02,302 --> 00:05:03,703

like he's lost his mind.

 

176

00:05:03,703 --> 00:05:04,871

You know what I mean?

 

177

00:05:04,871 --> 00:05:06,072

Where would have been better

 

178

00:05:06,072 --> 00:05:07,273

to come back tomorrow? But.

 

179

00:05:07,273 --> 00:05:10,810

But the pressure somehow got to his head

 

180

00:05:10,877 --> 00:05:12,111

and he goes out there

 

181

00:05:12,111 --> 00:05:13,846

anyhow and everybody's like,

 

182

00:05:13,846 --> 00:05:15,415

what's he doing?

 

183

00:05:15,415 --> 00:05:16,249

Why did you do that?

 

184

00:05:16,249 --> 00:05:18,284

You ruin it, you know what I mean?

 

185

00:05:18,284 --> 00:05:20,520

Yeah, I mean, it's just good,

 

186

00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,057

great way to kill a job.

 

187

00:05:24,157 --> 00:05:25,658

So there's a time and a place to really.

 

188

00:05:25,658 --> 00:05:27,527

Making it happen a lot to you.

 

189

00:05:27,527 --> 00:05:28,895

The hair thing.

 

190

00:05:28,895 --> 00:05:30,330

I remember one here in particular

 

191

00:05:30,330 --> 00:05:31,864

that I will never forget.

 

192

00:05:31,864 --> 00:05:32,231

There's two

 

193

00:05:32,231 --> 00:05:33,199

there are two instances

 

194

00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:34,067

I'll never forget with,

 

195

00:05:34,067 --> 00:05:36,436

with with the breeze

 

196

00:05:36,436 --> 00:05:37,437

did from San Francisco.

 

197

00:05:37,437 --> 00:05:38,771

And at the time I was still a carpenter.

 

198

00:05:38,771 --> 00:05:41,307

I was like wanting to do floors,

 

199

00:05:41,307 --> 00:05:43,076

but I was still a carpenter.

 

200

00:05:43,076 --> 00:05:43,476

And I was,

 

201

00:05:43,476 --> 00:05:43,710

you know,

 

202

00:05:43,710 --> 00:05:44,243

my father in law

 

203

00:05:44,243 --> 00:05:45,611

was working for him as a carpenter.

 

204

00:05:45,611 --> 00:05:46,879

And I, you know, I,

 

205

00:05:46,879 --> 00:05:48,214

I didn't know if I was going to

 

206

00:05:48,214 --> 00:05:48,848

make the break

 

207

00:05:48,848 --> 00:05:50,483

because I had great benefits to my job.

 

208

00:05:50,483 --> 00:05:51,484

Duty was going to school.

 

209

00:05:51,484 --> 00:05:52,985

And should I do it.

 

210

00:05:52,985 --> 00:05:53,519

So I was doing

 

211

00:05:53,519 --> 00:05:54,687

I was doing it on the weekend

 

212

00:05:54,687 --> 00:05:55,455

just because I loved it

 

213

00:05:55,455 --> 00:05:56,656

more than anything.

 

214

00:05:56,656 --> 00:05:59,392

And I went there to get paid on a Sunday

 

215

00:05:59,492 --> 00:06:01,361

and

 

216

00:06:01,361 --> 00:06:01,994

I walked in.

 

217

00:06:01,994 --> 00:06:04,697

I was so proud for the sensational,

 

218

00:06:04,697 --> 00:06:05,798

I mean, sensational.

 

219

00:06:05,798 --> 00:06:06,499

And the guy was paying me

 

220

00:06:06,499 --> 00:06:08,201

guess like he was $100 bills.

 

221

00:06:08,201 --> 00:06:08,468

He was,

 

222

00:06:08,468 --> 00:06:10,636

he was, you know, counting them out.

 

223

00:06:10,636 --> 00:06:13,306

And as I looked around,

 

224

00:06:13,306 --> 00:06:14,807

I couldn't believe my eyes.

 

225

00:06:14,807 --> 00:06:16,709

Rob I see the hair

 

226

00:06:16,709 --> 00:06:20,646

that was like eight feet long.

 

227

00:06:20,713 --> 00:06:22,148

I mean, it was coiled up

 

228

00:06:22,148 --> 00:06:23,950

on top of each other under each other.

 

229

00:06:23,950 --> 00:06:24,617

And it was

 

230

00:06:24,617 --> 00:06:25,385

right in the middle of the room.

 

231

00:06:25,385 --> 00:06:26,719

And I could not believe my

 

232

00:06:26,719 --> 00:06:29,555

I could not believe my eyes. There.

 

233

00:06:29,555 --> 00:06:31,157

I never saw it.

 

234

00:06:31,157 --> 00:06:32,058

And it was just

 

235

00:06:32,058 --> 00:06:33,526

glaring there, staring at me.

 

236

00:06:33,526 --> 00:06:35,895

And while this guy is counting the money,

 

237

00:06:35,895 --> 00:06:36,329

you know,

 

238

00:06:36,329 --> 00:06:37,563

and it was that one of those jobs,

 

239

00:06:37,563 --> 00:06:38,197

we always say, no,

 

240

00:06:38,197 --> 00:06:39,298

we don't move furniture back.

 

241

00:06:39,298 --> 00:06:40,066

You know that,

 

242

00:06:40,066 --> 00:06:41,768

you know, liability insurance.

 

243

00:06:41,768 --> 00:06:43,002

we don't want furniture back.

 

244

00:06:43,002 --> 00:06:45,671

And I was like, you know,

 

245

00:06:45,671 --> 00:06:47,006

we're here right now,

 

246

00:06:47,006 --> 00:06:47,840

you know, my brother and I.

 

247

00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:49,008

So if you want to move Virgil

 

248

00:06:49,008 --> 00:06:50,209

back, my brother give me like,

 

249

00:06:50,209 --> 00:06:50,643

how are you doing?

 

250

00:06:50,643 --> 00:06:52,011

I mean, I mean, I'm a virgin.

 

251

00:06:52,011 --> 00:06:54,447

I go, You know, John, we're here.

 

252

00:06:54,447 --> 00:06:54,814

Well,

 

253

00:06:54,814 --> 00:06:55,815

we just give the guy help

 

254

00:06:55,815 --> 00:06:57,383

move the carpet back in the area

 

255

00:06:57,383 --> 00:06:58,251

rug and stuff like that.

 

256

00:06:58,251 --> 00:06:59,185

I couldn't get that hair

 

257

00:06:59,185 --> 00:07:02,054

covered up fast enough.

 

258

00:07:02,121 --> 00:07:04,457

And in seconds,

 

259

00:07:04,457 --> 00:07:05,925

you never know.

 

260

00:07:05,925 --> 00:07:07,693

And a rug went over it with a problem.

 

261

00:07:07,693 --> 00:07:09,095

But anyway, inside that point,

 

262

00:07:09,095 --> 00:07:09,996

I can't believe

 

263

00:07:09,996 --> 00:07:12,432

the size of that hair rub.

 

264

00:07:12,432 --> 00:07:13,699

And another one wasn't a hair.

 

265

00:07:13,699 --> 00:07:14,200

It was

 

266

00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,535

one of the one of the worst

 

267

00:07:15,535 --> 00:07:19,005

hair, one hair ones I ever had

 

268

00:07:19,071 --> 00:07:20,440

was right here.

 

269

00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,375

Right here in my own home.

 

270

00:07:22,375 --> 00:07:23,509

No, I.

 

271

00:07:23,509 --> 00:07:26,446

Yeah. yeah,

 

272

00:07:26,446 --> 00:07:26,846

Yeah.

 

273

00:07:26,846 --> 00:07:27,346

Paulie,

 

274

00:07:27,346 --> 00:07:30,016

one day is taking pictures of my See,

 

275

00:07:30,016 --> 00:07:31,651

now. I'm sorry.

 

276

00:07:31,651 --> 00:07:32,652

She's what?

 

277

00:07:32,652 --> 00:07:34,086

She's taking pictures of my feet.

 

278

00:07:34,086 --> 00:07:35,555

I'm watching a game,

 

279

00:07:35,555 --> 00:07:36,389

and she comes out

 

280

00:07:36,389 --> 00:07:37,457

and sitting in my chair.

 

281

00:07:37,457 --> 00:07:38,724

Just take a picture of my feet.

 

282

00:07:38,724 --> 00:07:40,793

I go, What are you doing?

 

283

00:07:40,793 --> 00:07:43,229

She goes, you're this hotshot floor guy,

 

284

00:07:43,229 --> 00:07:44,130

you know, training

 

285

00:07:44,130 --> 00:07:46,132

people and show everybody

 

286

00:07:46,132 --> 00:07:48,968

how bad our floors look as I am.

 

287

00:07:49,035 --> 00:07:50,803

All right, You know?

 

288

00:07:50,803 --> 00:07:51,838

Wow.

 

289

00:07:51,838 --> 00:07:53,306

Cobbler's kid, right?

 

290

00:07:53,306 --> 00:07:55,508

Had no shoes.

 

291

00:07:55,508 --> 00:07:58,811

So I did my floors

 

292

00:07:58,878 --> 00:07:59,812

and no floor.

 

293

00:07:59,812 --> 00:08:01,180

Guy wants to do his own floors.

 

294

00:08:01,180 --> 00:08:01,747

I'm surprised

 

295

00:08:01,747 --> 00:08:02,682

you're doing your own flooring.

 

296

00:08:02,682 --> 00:08:03,983

No money in it.

 

297

00:08:03,983 --> 00:08:05,017

Yeah, I did. I'm there.

 

298

00:08:05,017 --> 00:08:07,220

Done. But, yeah.

 

299

00:08:07,220 --> 00:08:08,855

No money in it.

 

300

00:08:08,855 --> 00:08:11,424

Not a penny.

 

301

00:08:11,424 --> 00:08:14,260

So a couple of weeks go by, maybe a week?

 

302

00:08:14,260 --> 00:08:14,961

I don't know.

 

303

00:08:14,961 --> 00:08:16,729

I come home from work

 

304

00:08:16,729 --> 00:08:19,999

and she's like, I need to talk to you.

 

305

00:08:20,066 --> 00:08:21,767

I was like,

 

306

00:08:21,767 --> 00:08:23,236

okay.

 

307

00:08:23,236 --> 00:08:24,937

She said,

 

308

00:08:24,937 --> 00:08:26,038

Come over here.

 

309

00:08:26,038 --> 00:08:27,440

And it was right in

 

310

00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,376

the doorway of a bedroom or something.

 

311

00:08:30,376 --> 00:08:32,311

She goes, There's a hair.

 

312

00:08:32,311 --> 00:08:35,181

There's a hair right there in the finish.

 

313

00:08:35,181 --> 00:08:38,417

and man, man, I mean, I love her

 

314

00:08:38,484 --> 00:08:39,552

more now.

 

315

00:08:39,552 --> 00:08:40,686

But that's marriage

 

316

00:08:40,686 --> 00:08:43,656

counseling are really.

 

317

00:08:43,789 --> 00:08:44,123

Yeah.

 

318

00:08:44,123 --> 00:08:47,126

I did this one for free for you.

 

319

00:08:47,293 --> 00:08:48,828

Yeah. And.

 

320

00:08:48,828 --> 00:08:51,464

And you're going to talk about my hair

 

321

00:08:51,464 --> 00:08:52,331

then, of course, you know,

 

322

00:08:52,331 --> 00:08:54,767

I took off my hat

 

323

00:08:54,834 --> 00:08:55,902

and, you know, I'm kind

 

324

00:08:55,902 --> 00:08:56,802

of pointing in my head.

 

325

00:08:56,802 --> 00:08:59,438

I'm like,

 

326

00:08:59,438 --> 00:09:02,441

you know, between the bald head

 

327

00:09:02,608 --> 00:09:05,611

and being electrocuted at the.

 

328

00:09:05,645 --> 00:09:06,779

The Air Force base,

 

329

00:09:06,779 --> 00:09:08,514

I have no hair on my legs

 

330

00:09:08,514 --> 00:09:10,216

or arms, barely.

 

331

00:09:10,216 --> 00:09:11,317

They never grew back

 

332

00:09:11,317 --> 00:09:12,518

after I was electrocuted.

 

333

00:09:12,518 --> 00:09:15,288

So my. It's not my hair.

 

334

00:09:15,288 --> 00:09:16,322

No. Yeah.

 

335

00:09:16,322 --> 00:09:17,023

Yeah.

 

336

00:09:17,023 --> 00:09:18,724

And that, you know, and I said,

 

337

00:09:18,724 --> 00:09:19,392

I'm sorry.

 

338

00:09:19,392 --> 00:09:21,127

You know, I'll, I'll take care of that.

 

339

00:09:21,127 --> 00:09:21,928

And of course her

 

340

00:09:21,928 --> 00:09:23,062

and the girls, their hair is,

 

341

00:09:23,062 --> 00:09:24,964

you know, down past their shoulders.

 

342

00:09:24,964 --> 00:09:25,898

Yeah.

 

343

00:09:25,898 --> 00:09:26,666

You can't take. That.

 

344

00:09:26,666 --> 00:09:30,136

And then she says another thing,

 

345

00:09:30,236 --> 00:09:32,405

you know, I see,

 

346

00:09:32,405 --> 00:09:33,906

you know, around 330

 

347

00:09:33,906 --> 00:09:35,841

when the sun comes in,

 

348

00:09:35,841 --> 00:09:37,176

when it hits the floor

 

349

00:09:37,176 --> 00:09:38,911

and I'm laying on the couch

 

350

00:09:38,911 --> 00:09:40,780

and if I look just right,

 

351

00:09:40,780 --> 00:09:44,350

I can see these swirl marks in the floor.

 

352

00:09:44,417 --> 00:09:46,786

And now I'm thinking, you know,

 

353

00:09:46,786 --> 00:09:49,155

I got the Rolodex going in my head, like,

 

354

00:09:49,155 --> 00:09:50,089

you know, get it.

 

355

00:09:50,089 --> 00:09:51,724

I know I've seen some divorce lawyers

 

356

00:09:51,724 --> 00:09:52,925

on TV and everything

 

357

00:09:52,925 --> 00:09:55,895

because this isn't going to end well.

 

358

00:09:56,028 --> 00:09:56,629

Now, I'm

 

359

00:09:56,629 --> 00:09:58,197

explaining to her about,

 

360

00:09:58,197 --> 00:10:00,733

you know, just don't touch the hair.

 

361

00:10:00,733 --> 00:10:02,835

It'll walk off. All right?

 

362

00:10:02,835 --> 00:10:03,336

Yeah.

 

363

00:10:03,336 --> 00:10:04,203

The repair

 

364

00:10:04,203 --> 00:10:05,638

sometimes got to look worse

 

365

00:10:05,638 --> 00:10:06,305

than the hair.

 

366

00:10:06,305 --> 00:10:08,941

Just it'll go away,

 

367

00:10:08,941 --> 00:10:10,376

especially in a doorway.

 

368

00:10:10,376 --> 00:10:12,678

Just don't touch it.

 

369

00:10:12,778 --> 00:10:14,046

And I said,

 

370

00:10:14,046 --> 00:10:16,882

and you know, I have to buff the floor

 

371

00:10:16,882 --> 00:10:18,184

in between coats.

 

372

00:10:18,184 --> 00:10:19,452

And sometimes, you know,

 

373

00:10:19,452 --> 00:10:20,953

I said, if you look at a new car,

 

374

00:10:20,953 --> 00:10:22,221

you're going to see strong marks

 

375

00:10:22,221 --> 00:10:24,523

from the paint job in a brand new car

 

376

00:10:24,523 --> 00:10:25,591

when you catch it. Right.

 

377

00:10:25,591 --> 00:10:28,461

And and what in the hell are you doing

 

378

00:10:28,461 --> 00:10:29,362

laying on the couch

 

379

00:10:29,362 --> 00:10:30,963

at 330 in the afternoon?

 

380

00:10:30,963 --> 00:10:31,897

You couldn't

 

381

00:10:31,897 --> 00:10:33,065

you can't be doing laundry

 

382

00:10:33,065 --> 00:10:35,601

or cleaning the house or

 

383

00:10:35,601 --> 00:10:37,603

making supper or something like that.

 

384

00:10:37,603 --> 00:10:40,072

You have to tell me.

 

385

00:10:40,072 --> 00:10:41,207

She goes, I,

 

386

00:10:41,207 --> 00:10:42,274

I just love laying down

 

387

00:10:42,274 --> 00:10:43,643

on the couch around 330

 

388

00:10:43,643 --> 00:10:46,379

and the sun comes in and hits my face.

 

389

00:10:46,379 --> 00:10:47,046

And it

 

390

00:10:47,046 --> 00:10:48,547

she had the biggest smile on her face

 

391

00:10:48,547 --> 00:10:49,749

just talking about that.

 

392

00:10:49,749 --> 00:10:51,984

So I, I let it all go.

 

393

00:10:51,984 --> 00:10:54,086

But my own wife.

 

394

00:10:54,086 --> 00:10:55,121

My own.

 

395

00:10:55,121 --> 00:10:55,621

Yeah.

 

396

00:10:55,621 --> 00:10:56,355

It's not my flesh

 

397

00:10:56,355 --> 00:10:57,990

and blood, but, you know,

 

398

00:10:57,990 --> 00:11:00,359

partner for life.

 

399

00:11:00,426 --> 00:11:01,394

I'd rather my wife.

 

400

00:11:01,394 --> 00:11:03,496

Was out in the finish.

 

401

00:11:03,496 --> 00:11:04,230

I'd rather

 

402

00:11:04,230 --> 00:11:05,031

my wife describe

 

403

00:11:05,031 --> 00:11:08,934

how good looking the neighbor is

 

404

00:11:09,035 --> 00:11:11,771

and tell me I got to hear my finish, man.

 

405

00:11:11,771 --> 00:11:12,672

I'm out muscular.

 

406

00:11:12,672 --> 00:11:13,673

The guy is next door.

 

407

00:11:13,673 --> 00:11:15,307

How well-built he is.

 

408

00:11:15,307 --> 00:11:16,609

Then I got to hear him.

 

409

00:11:16,609 --> 00:11:18,110

I finish.

 

410

00:11:18,110 --> 00:11:19,145

All right, good.

 

411

00:11:19,145 --> 00:11:20,046

I'm glad

 

412

00:11:20,046 --> 00:11:21,847

that I wasn't making too big a deal.

 

413

00:11:21,847 --> 00:11:24,216

I know. I'm not huge.

 

414

00:11:24,216 --> 00:11:25,518

Yeah, you could have milked that

 

415

00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:26,519

for a week

 

416

00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:30,589

of making her feel guilty about that.

 

417

00:11:30,690 --> 00:11:31,957

All right, What do you do?

 

418

00:11:31,957 --> 00:11:32,825

What do you do when you got here

 

419

00:11:32,825 --> 00:11:33,626

and finish?

 

420

00:11:33,626 --> 00:11:34,326

By the way,

 

421

00:11:34,326 --> 00:11:35,394

when I say you go out there

 

422

00:11:35,394 --> 00:11:37,296

and get that here,

 

423

00:11:37,296 --> 00:11:39,231

not a bad idea to have a pair of it.

 

424

00:11:39,231 --> 00:11:42,301

Alibi shoes out in the barn

 

425

00:11:42,368 --> 00:11:42,668

with a

 

426

00:11:42,668 --> 00:11:44,036

completely different green pattern

 

427

00:11:44,036 --> 00:11:45,805

than the shoes that you have.

 

428

00:11:45,805 --> 00:11:47,840

Again,

 

429

00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,341

blame it on the painter.

 

430

00:11:49,341 --> 00:11:51,043

You know, look at my shoes and look.

 

431

00:11:51,043 --> 00:11:52,511

Look at those

 

432

00:11:52,511 --> 00:11:54,146

you prints on them on that floor.

 

433

00:11:54,146 --> 00:11:54,780

That's not us.

 

434

00:11:54,780 --> 00:11:58,217

That's not me.

 

435

00:11:58,317 --> 00:11:59,351

I'm just saying.

 

436

00:11:59,351 --> 00:11:59,685

I mean,

 

437

00:11:59,685 --> 00:12:01,420

I don't know who would do that, but,

 

438

00:12:01,420 --> 00:12:02,121

you know, at a pair of

 

439

00:12:02,121 --> 00:12:03,222

I'll buy shoes in the van.

 

440

00:12:03,222 --> 00:12:04,457

Not a bad idea.

 

441

00:12:04,457 --> 00:12:05,357

All right.

 

442

00:12:05,357 --> 00:12:06,525

I was wondering what you meant

 

443

00:12:06,525 --> 00:12:07,693

by alibi shoes.

 

444

00:12:07,693 --> 00:12:10,596

Now I get. Okay, that's really good.

 

445

00:12:10,596 --> 00:12:11,030

I like.

 

446

00:12:11,030 --> 00:12:12,298

I like that one.

 

447

00:12:12,298 --> 00:12:13,265

Perfect. Rob, you got.

 

448

00:12:13,265 --> 00:12:16,168

You got to stay one step ahead.

 

449

00:12:16,168 --> 00:12:16,535

All right.

 

450

00:12:16,535 --> 00:12:17,236

So how do you

 

451

00:12:17,236 --> 00:12:18,771

how do you remove a hair

 

452

00:12:18,771 --> 00:12:21,373

from a coat and finish? All right.

 

453

00:12:21,373 --> 00:12:22,174

It makes sure.

 

454

00:12:22,174 --> 00:12:22,708

First of all,

 

455

00:12:22,708 --> 00:12:23,743

I think the number one rule is

 

456

00:12:23,743 --> 00:12:25,745

you got to make sure that floor is dry

 

457

00:12:25,745 --> 00:12:27,813

and before you try to remove hair

 

458

00:12:27,813 --> 00:12:28,247

on the finish,

 

459

00:12:28,247 --> 00:12:30,416

there's nothing worse than having a hair

 

460

00:12:30,416 --> 00:12:31,917

and a finish is really

 

461

00:12:31,917 --> 00:12:33,619

it's really not kind of dried yet.

 

462

00:12:33,619 --> 00:12:35,554

And you remove it and try to remove it

 

463

00:12:35,554 --> 00:12:38,023

and then you're tearing it to the finish.

 

464

00:12:38,023 --> 00:12:39,692

Now we always talk about on a repair,

 

465

00:12:39,692 --> 00:12:41,160

don't make a one board repair

 

466

00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,596

or even do a three or four board repair.

 

467

00:12:43,596 --> 00:12:44,630

Don't take a small,

 

468

00:12:44,630 --> 00:12:45,898

small little issue like that

 

469

00:12:45,898 --> 00:12:47,199

and make it bigger

 

470

00:12:47,199 --> 00:12:48,834

because you're starting to nail

 

471

00:12:48,834 --> 00:12:51,070

tearing to the finish. It is too dry.

 

472

00:12:51,070 --> 00:12:52,438

I mean, I can't know.

 

473

00:12:52,438 --> 00:12:53,639

We talked about doing repairs.

 

474

00:12:53,639 --> 00:12:55,307

And what are the most important tools

 

475

00:12:55,307 --> 00:12:56,876

you can bring with you as patients?

 

476

00:12:56,876 --> 00:12:57,276

You got to know

 

477

00:12:57,276 --> 00:13:00,546

when did you have to really be patient?

 

478

00:13:00,613 --> 00:13:02,348

You know, there's times you got to go,

 

479

00:13:02,348 --> 00:13:02,915

but there's times

 

480

00:13:02,915 --> 00:13:04,250

you've got to be patient.

 

481

00:13:04,250 --> 00:13:06,585

Make sure that that hair is dry.

 

482

00:13:06,585 --> 00:13:09,255

And so that to me is a number one rule

 

483

00:13:09,321 --> 00:13:09,989

when doing a

 

484

00:13:09,989 --> 00:13:14,326

when doing a repair.

 

485

00:13:14,426 --> 00:13:17,429

It's not the

 

486

00:13:17,530 --> 00:13:19,665

and not talking about doing repairs.

 

487

00:13:19,665 --> 00:13:21,667

But

 

488

00:13:21,667 --> 00:13:23,402

that is one of the expectations

 

489

00:13:23,402 --> 00:13:24,103

that I used to set

 

490

00:13:24,103 --> 00:13:26,939

with all of my homeowners.

 

491

00:13:26,939 --> 00:13:27,373

Okay.

 

492

00:13:27,373 --> 00:13:28,374

I should say it to

 

493

00:13:28,374 --> 00:13:31,277

everybody is like, listen,

 

494

00:13:31,277 --> 00:13:33,879

this is a safe finish job, okay?

 

495

00:13:33,879 --> 00:13:34,747

And we were clean.

 

496

00:13:34,747 --> 00:13:35,514

So I never

 

497

00:13:35,514 --> 00:13:38,017

felt bad about really saying this.

 

498

00:13:38,017 --> 00:13:39,185

And I would say

 

499

00:13:39,185 --> 00:13:41,754

you might find a hair or two,

 

500

00:13:41,754 --> 00:13:43,522

you might find a bubble

 

501

00:13:43,522 --> 00:13:45,124

or a little bit of roughness.

 

502

00:13:45,124 --> 00:13:49,395

Okay, do not worry about it.

 

503

00:13:49,461 --> 00:13:50,896

I said, if it's really bad,

 

504

00:13:50,896 --> 00:13:52,064

we'll take care of it.

 

505

00:13:52,064 --> 00:13:56,435

I said, 99% of that stuff walks off.

 

506

00:13:56,669 --> 00:13:57,670

Okay.

 

507

00:13:57,670 --> 00:13:59,305

You'll live that right off.

 

508

00:13:59,305 --> 00:14:00,940

You won't even see it.

 

509

00:14:00,940 --> 00:14:03,509

And then I used to give everybody why,

 

510

00:14:03,509 --> 00:14:04,643

whatever you do,

 

511

00:14:04,643 --> 00:14:08,013

do not put a buffing pad on this.

 

512

00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,715

And I don't know how many people go,

 

513

00:14:09,715 --> 00:14:12,017

okay, yeah, I won't.

 

514

00:14:12,117 --> 00:14:13,853

Like otherwise they would have.

 

515

00:14:13,853 --> 00:14:14,253

Right.

 

516

00:14:14,253 --> 00:14:15,988

Like they would run out

 

517

00:14:15,988 --> 00:14:18,224

and buy a red pad. Right.

 

518

00:14:18,224 --> 00:14:19,558

Like whatever you do,

 

519

00:14:19,558 --> 00:14:22,127

do not put a buffing pad on this.

 

520

00:14:22,127 --> 00:14:23,996

So I had that in their head

 

521

00:14:23,996 --> 00:14:26,098

that last thing we want to do

 

522

00:14:26,098 --> 00:14:27,733

is put a buffing pad on this thing.

 

523

00:14:27,733 --> 00:14:30,002

Yeah, Yeah, exactly.

 

524

00:14:30,002 --> 00:14:32,104

we never walk off.

 

525

00:14:32,104 --> 00:14:33,005

Yeah.

 

526

00:14:33,005 --> 00:14:34,139

We may

 

527

00:14:34,139 --> 00:14:36,809

or may not take food out of the pantry,

 

528

00:14:36,809 --> 00:14:38,344

you know, setting the expectations.

 

529

00:14:38,344 --> 00:14:43,415

You had that one to the last.

 

530

00:14:43,482 --> 00:14:44,583

All right, all right.

 

531

00:14:44,583 --> 00:14:46,018

What would be what?

 

532

00:14:46,018 --> 00:14:47,052

Give me that.

 

533

00:14:47,052 --> 00:14:47,519

Number two.

 

534

00:14:47,519 --> 00:14:48,387

You want me reading a list?

 

535

00:14:48,387 --> 00:14:50,222

You want to read them list or what?

 

536

00:14:50,222 --> 00:14:51,156

now is a good time

 

537

00:14:51,156 --> 00:14:53,826

to have that repair kit we spoke about.

 

538

00:14:53,826 --> 00:14:56,195

Yeah, you got to break it out.

 

539

00:14:56,195 --> 00:14:58,697

The moving blanket.

 

540

00:14:58,764 --> 00:15:00,366

You got to have that repair kit,

 

541

00:15:00,366 --> 00:15:04,336

Get now everything.

 

542

00:15:04,436 --> 00:15:07,339

It just makes your life so much easier

 

543

00:15:07,339 --> 00:15:09,008

not to have to go digging around

 

544

00:15:09,008 --> 00:15:10,075

for everything.

 

545

00:15:10,075 --> 00:15:11,877

I think

 

546

00:15:11,877 --> 00:15:14,580

it's all ready to go to finish

 

547

00:15:14,580 --> 00:15:15,347

repair kit.

 

548

00:15:15,347 --> 00:15:16,348

We had talked about that

 

549

00:15:16,348 --> 00:15:17,650

in the last show.

 

550

00:15:17,650 --> 00:15:20,653

The moving blanket finish repair kit,

 

551

00:15:20,886 --> 00:15:21,887

grab it.

 

552

00:15:21,887 --> 00:15:23,255

And is that going to ever

 

553

00:15:23,255 --> 00:15:26,225

make your life easier?

 

554

00:15:26,258 --> 00:15:26,725

Yeah.

 

555

00:15:26,725 --> 00:15:28,327

Before I even get down to Florida,

 

556

00:15:28,327 --> 00:15:29,895

feel the hair and the finish. Right.

 

557

00:15:29,895 --> 00:15:31,597

What I like to do is stand back

 

558

00:15:31,597 --> 00:15:31,997

and look at it

 

559

00:15:31,997 --> 00:15:33,065

from several different angles.

 

560

00:15:33,065 --> 00:15:34,166

If the homeowners there

 

561

00:15:34,166 --> 00:15:36,502

talk to me about the hair,

 

562

00:15:36,502 --> 00:15:38,671

I'll circle the hair,

 

563

00:15:38,671 --> 00:15:40,873

look at it from all different angles,

 

564

00:15:40,873 --> 00:15:41,206

and then

 

565

00:15:41,206 --> 00:15:42,007

I'll get down on one knee

 

566

00:15:42,007 --> 00:15:43,309

and I'll fill it with one hand

 

567

00:15:43,309 --> 00:15:44,076

while I'm staring

 

568

00:15:44,076 --> 00:15:45,010

in their general direction.

 

569

00:15:45,010 --> 00:15:47,246

I'll close my eyes

 

570

00:15:47,346 --> 00:15:48,547

and I'll say,

 

571

00:15:48,547 --> 00:15:49,648

You know, this is

 

572

00:15:49,648 --> 00:15:50,616

this is actually great news.

 

573

00:15:50,616 --> 00:15:52,551

It's a stage one hair,

 

574

00:15:52,551 --> 00:15:54,486

as if there was such a thing

 

575

00:15:54,486 --> 00:15:56,322

as a stage one.

 

576

00:15:56,322 --> 00:15:58,924

It's not penetrated into the last coat.

 

577

00:15:58,924 --> 00:15:59,591

You see.

 

578

00:15:59,591 --> 00:16:01,627

That's, that's right up there with my.

 

579

00:16:01,627 --> 00:16:02,928

Hey, whatever you do,

 

580

00:16:02,928 --> 00:16:04,930

do not get off that thing.

 

581

00:16:04,930 --> 00:16:06,198

Yes. Yeah.

 

582

00:16:06,198 --> 00:16:07,933

That's right up there with that.

 

583

00:16:07,933 --> 00:16:08,500

Yeah.

 

584

00:16:08,500 --> 00:16:10,169

My, my uncle was the

 

585

00:16:10,169 --> 00:16:11,270

best in the world at this.

 

586

00:16:11,270 --> 00:16:11,937

If they,

 

587

00:16:11,937 --> 00:16:13,005

if the homeowner said, you know what,

 

588

00:16:13,005 --> 00:16:13,305

the future

 

589

00:16:13,305 --> 00:16:15,140

looks a little too shiny to me,

 

590

00:16:15,140 --> 00:16:18,143

you go, I'm so glad to hear you say that

 

591

00:16:18,243 --> 00:16:19,845

because it's going to tone down.

 

592

00:16:19,845 --> 00:16:21,880

We couldn't stop it if we wanted to.

 

593

00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,649

And and when I was a prince,

 

594

00:16:23,649 --> 00:16:25,818

I looked at like, damn, that's cool.

 

595

00:16:25,818 --> 00:16:27,286

And that knowing that, you know,

 

596

00:16:27,286 --> 00:16:29,521

maybe not

 

597

00:16:29,588 --> 00:16:31,490

or if it was go, you know what?

 

598

00:16:31,490 --> 00:16:33,425

I was hoping it was going to be shinier.

 

599

00:16:33,425 --> 00:16:35,694

You know, I was hoping you would say that

 

600

00:16:35,694 --> 00:16:38,597

because when you started walking this

 

601

00:16:38,597 --> 00:16:40,966

finish and shooting it up,

 

602

00:16:40,966 --> 00:16:41,166

you know

 

603

00:16:41,166 --> 00:16:42,935

you're going to be in great shape.

 

604

00:16:42,935 --> 00:16:45,637

And anyhow, I had to relearn to trade,

 

605

00:16:45,637 --> 00:16:47,973

let's just say, in some aspects.

 

606

00:16:47,973 --> 00:16:50,442

But anyhow, you know.

 

607

00:16:50,442 --> 00:16:52,845

Listen, that I

 

608

00:16:52,845 --> 00:16:54,246

we need to get

 

609

00:16:54,246 --> 00:16:57,449

guys sending in their little

 

610

00:16:57,516 --> 00:16:58,650

their little stories

 

611

00:16:58,650 --> 00:16:59,551

that they tell people

 

612

00:16:59,551 --> 00:17:02,488

because I've heard a bunch at the schools

 

613

00:17:02,488 --> 00:17:05,424

and what you a customer will ask,

 

614

00:17:05,424 --> 00:17:06,792

what are those holes?

 

615

00:17:06,792 --> 00:17:08,293

those are

 

616

00:17:08,293 --> 00:17:09,695

powder puff beetle holes.

 

617

00:17:09,695 --> 00:17:11,330

Or this one guy was going off.

 

618

00:17:11,330 --> 00:17:14,600

He had no idea what he was talking about.

 

619

00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,435

He didn't fill the holes,

 

620

00:17:16,435 --> 00:17:18,170

but he was calling them

 

621

00:17:18,170 --> 00:17:20,139

powder puff beetles.

 

622

00:17:20,139 --> 00:17:23,509

And in you're infested with them, you.

 

623

00:17:23,609 --> 00:17:24,977

I'm not your issue here.

 

624

00:17:24,977 --> 00:17:27,546

You need to call an exterminator.

 

625

00:17:27,546 --> 00:17:29,915

And this guy, you know,

 

626

00:17:29,915 --> 00:17:31,383

the funny part was

 

627

00:17:31,383 --> 00:17:33,919

he was almost believing in himself,

 

628

00:17:33,919 --> 00:17:35,320

you know? Yeah.

 

629

00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:40,259

And as we get to do a podcast, just one

 

630

00:17:40,325 --> 00:17:41,126

on floor

 

631

00:17:41,126 --> 00:17:43,228

guys stories, share your stories.

 

632

00:17:43,228 --> 00:17:45,998

It's you tell the homeowner,

 

633

00:17:45,998 --> 00:17:49,368

but then you read something that story.

 

634

00:17:49,435 --> 00:17:50,736

Yeah.

 

635

00:17:50,736 --> 00:17:52,838

I mean, obviously the goal is to kill it.

 

636

00:17:52,838 --> 00:17:54,940

So do a great job and make sure you,

 

637

00:17:54,940 --> 00:17:56,508

you know, you do everything you know,

 

638

00:17:56,508 --> 00:17:58,077

and knock it out of the park.

 

639

00:17:58,077 --> 00:17:59,111

But you're going to have an issue

 

640

00:17:59,111 --> 00:17:59,745

once in a while.

 

641

00:17:59,745 --> 00:18:03,348

And in a hearing it finish is one that

 

642

00:18:03,449 --> 00:18:04,116

can be taken care

 

643

00:18:04,116 --> 00:18:04,883

of pretty easily

 

644

00:18:04,883 --> 00:18:06,351

or it can make things a little bit

 

645

00:18:06,351 --> 00:18:08,053

bigger than they need to be.

 

646

00:18:08,053 --> 00:18:09,121

So I was a big one,

 

647

00:18:09,121 --> 00:18:12,791

even when even with Pauline, my big one

 

648

00:18:12,791 --> 00:18:15,794

was it will walk off and well,

 

649

00:18:15,894 --> 00:18:17,963

it got to a point where I truly believed

 

650

00:18:17,963 --> 00:18:19,765

that hairs will walk off of the floor.

 

651

00:18:19,765 --> 00:18:21,567

Absolutely.

 

652

00:18:21,667 --> 00:18:24,136

Well, there's no question in time.

 

653

00:18:24,136 --> 00:18:27,406

So you look at a floor

 

654

00:18:27,506 --> 00:18:29,241

a year down the road after there's a hair

 

655

00:18:29,241 --> 00:18:30,275

and a finish or something like that.

 

656

00:18:30,275 --> 00:18:32,010

And truthfully, I mean, usually,

 

657

00:18:32,010 --> 00:18:33,212

you know, things change.

 

658

00:18:33,212 --> 00:18:34,446

And the only other thing, too,

 

659

00:18:34,446 --> 00:18:36,582

like moves on, things change.

 

660

00:18:36,582 --> 00:18:38,016

Maybe gene tones down a little bit.

 

661

00:18:38,016 --> 00:18:38,917

Now you've got the

 

662

00:18:38,917 --> 00:18:40,819

the drapes in the taken up

 

663

00:18:40,819 --> 00:18:42,354

some of that shine

 

664

00:18:42,354 --> 00:18:43,655

on the machine on the floor.

 

665

00:18:43,655 --> 00:18:44,957

You've got the furniture in there

 

666

00:18:44,957 --> 00:18:46,592

and all these different things and

 

667

00:18:46,592 --> 00:18:49,027

and it really is

 

668

00:18:49,027 --> 00:18:50,195

by the time you, you know,

 

669

00:18:50,195 --> 00:18:52,064

you're down the road, usually, usually,

 

670

00:18:52,064 --> 00:18:52,664

unless it's something

 

671

00:18:52,664 --> 00:18:55,968

glaring, no pun intended,

 

672

00:18:56,068 --> 00:18:58,837

they dissipate somewhat for sure.

 

673

00:18:58,837 --> 00:18:59,438

All right.

 

674

00:18:59,438 --> 00:19:00,539

You know the scary part,

 

675

00:19:00,539 --> 00:19:02,107

though, about nowadays

 

676

00:19:02,107 --> 00:19:05,277

what guys are going through.

 

677

00:19:05,377 --> 00:19:06,178

I think

 

678

00:19:06,178 --> 00:19:07,446

I think some guys

 

679

00:19:07,446 --> 00:19:08,180

I mean,

 

680

00:19:08,180 --> 00:19:08,514

you know,

 

681

00:19:08,514 --> 00:19:10,015

you and I have been out of the real game

 

682

00:19:10,015 --> 00:19:11,717

for a while.

 

683

00:19:11,717 --> 00:19:14,386

And no matter what you say, you know,

 

684

00:19:14,386 --> 00:19:17,389

somebody is going to Google it.

 

685

00:19:17,556 --> 00:19:19,291

Yeah. Know what I mean?

 

686

00:19:19,291 --> 00:19:22,294

Somebody everybody's

 

687

00:19:22,327 --> 00:19:23,962

you know, I talk to these homeowners

 

688

00:19:23,962 --> 00:19:24,696

online, man.

 

689

00:19:24,696 --> 00:19:26,765

I mean, you know, on the tech line.

 

690

00:19:26,765 --> 00:19:30,802

And yeah, they're quite insane.

 

691

00:19:30,903 --> 00:19:32,104

I used to have a cousin that looked

 

692

00:19:32,104 --> 00:19:34,506

like a professional baseball player.

 

693

00:19:34,506 --> 00:19:35,240

I mean, like

 

694

00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:35,841

like a guy

 

695

00:19:35,841 --> 00:19:37,276

who is a professional baseball player.

 

696

00:19:37,276 --> 00:19:38,043

I don't know the guy name.

 

697

00:19:38,043 --> 00:19:39,912

I'm not a big into baseball.

 

698

00:19:39,912 --> 00:19:40,579

But like,

 

699

00:19:40,579 --> 00:19:42,047

we go to different ballparks watching it,

 

700

00:19:42,047 --> 00:19:42,814

and he would tell people

 

701

00:19:42,814 --> 00:19:44,550

that he was that guy

 

702

00:19:44,550 --> 00:19:46,451

and he would believe him.

 

703

00:19:46,451 --> 00:19:47,452

And it was funny as hell

 

704

00:19:47,452 --> 00:19:48,487

because, you know, I mean,

 

705

00:19:48,487 --> 00:19:50,022

and he just looked the part, man,

 

706

00:19:50,022 --> 00:19:50,989

and he knew baseball

 

707

00:19:50,989 --> 00:19:52,925

like nobody knew baseball.

 

708

00:19:52,925 --> 00:19:54,359

And it was always cracked me up.

 

709

00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:55,160

I always listen to him.

 

710

00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:56,361

But you can't do that nowadays

 

711

00:19:56,361 --> 00:19:57,696

because everybody go

 

712

00:19:57,696 --> 00:19:59,264

they Google and they know it's not you.

 

713

00:19:59,264 --> 00:20:00,132

They're.

 

714

00:20:00,132 --> 00:20:02,000

You know, So it's so funny you said that.

 

715

00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,435

I said that to my brother.

 

716

00:20:03,435 --> 00:20:05,037

One day I go, look,

 

717

00:20:05,037 --> 00:20:05,771

I want to bring you

 

718

00:20:05,771 --> 00:20:07,539

to a baseball card show

 

719

00:20:07,539 --> 00:20:08,974

and we're going to charge for

 

720

00:20:08,974 --> 00:20:10,409

can't her back autographs

 

721

00:20:10,409 --> 00:20:12,511

and you're going to be. KANTER

 

722

00:20:12,578 --> 00:20:13,612

Yeah, I said,

 

723

00:20:13,612 --> 00:20:17,282

you look exactly like her back.

 

724

00:20:17,349 --> 00:20:18,283

It's amazing.

 

725

00:20:18,283 --> 00:20:20,052

And he really does.

 

726

00:20:20,052 --> 00:20:20,719

And it's funny

 

727

00:20:20,719 --> 00:20:22,821

you said that because I said to him,

 

728

00:20:22,821 --> 00:20:24,456

We can make a fortune.

 

729

00:20:24,456 --> 00:20:25,224

Can her back?

 

730

00:20:25,224 --> 00:20:27,626

Yeah, we're over in Minnesota,

 

731

00:20:27,626 --> 00:20:29,127

We're here in New York.

 

732

00:20:29,127 --> 00:20:30,729

Who's going to know?

 

733

00:20:30,729 --> 00:20:32,297

20 bucks a pop?

 

734

00:20:32,297 --> 00:20:33,165

Hey, everybody.

 

735

00:20:33,165 --> 00:20:34,132

Me can't hurt back.

 

736

00:20:34,132 --> 00:20:36,635

The big homerun hitter, right?

 

737

00:20:36,635 --> 00:20:38,136

Yeah, he's a little older.

 

738

00:20:38,136 --> 00:20:40,606

Well, you know,

 

739

00:20:40,606 --> 00:20:41,106

he wouldn't go.

 

740

00:20:41,106 --> 00:20:42,107

You know,

 

741

00:20:42,107 --> 00:20:44,910

he could have made and her back.

 

742

00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:46,178

You can take it to another level

 

743

00:20:46,178 --> 00:20:47,412

because there's actually people

 

744

00:20:47,412 --> 00:20:48,947

who have absolutely destroyed

 

745

00:20:48,947 --> 00:20:52,017

people's lives by buying cars on,

 

746

00:20:52,017 --> 00:20:53,452

you know, on credit

 

747

00:20:53,452 --> 00:20:55,587

and renting big homes in Las Vegas.

 

748

00:20:55,587 --> 00:20:56,655

And because they look exactly

 

749

00:20:56,655 --> 00:20:57,756

like certain movie stars

 

750

00:20:57,756 --> 00:21:00,225

or actors or performers. So.

 

751

00:21:00,325 --> 00:21:01,126

All right.

 

752

00:21:01,126 --> 00:21:02,327

So, Rob, we got to move.

 

753

00:21:02,327 --> 00:21:03,495

I yeah,

 

754

00:21:03,495 --> 00:21:07,299

I tell you what, another crazy one that

 

755

00:21:07,366 --> 00:21:09,167

we have it in all the schools.

 

756

00:21:09,167 --> 00:21:11,236

Actually, we

 

757

00:21:11,236 --> 00:21:13,372

we give them away at some of the schools

 

758

00:21:13,372 --> 00:21:17,175

if we have enough of them, is a nip file.

 

759

00:21:17,276 --> 00:21:18,443

Yeah.

 

760

00:21:18,443 --> 00:21:20,746

I wish I had had a nip file

 

761

00:21:20,746 --> 00:21:21,847

when I was a contractor.

 

762

00:21:21,847 --> 00:21:22,848

I knew about them.

 

763

00:21:22,848 --> 00:21:23,815

I mean, they were

 

764

00:21:23,815 --> 00:21:25,884

the have to be around forever

 

765

00:21:25,884 --> 00:21:28,487

nip files, but man,

 

766

00:21:28,487 --> 00:21:30,255

man, what a nice little nifty tool

 

767

00:21:30,255 --> 00:21:32,457

that is.

 

768

00:21:32,457 --> 00:21:33,959

Every every guy

 

769

00:21:33,959 --> 00:21:36,128

going for his final check

 

770

00:21:36,128 --> 00:21:38,630

should have a nib file in his pocket.

 

771

00:21:38,630 --> 00:21:39,598

Yeah.

 

772

00:21:39,598 --> 00:21:41,133

And when you walk through the door,

 

773

00:21:41,133 --> 00:21:42,734

even if they don't say anything,

 

774

00:21:42,734 --> 00:21:45,504

even if they say the job is perfect,

 

775

00:21:45,504 --> 00:21:46,471

you bend down

 

776

00:21:46,471 --> 00:21:47,372

and take something out

 

777

00:21:47,372 --> 00:21:48,240

with that nib file.

 

778

00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,043

Even if it's not there, just take it out.

 

779

00:21:51,043 --> 00:21:52,611

Now, what are you doing? As little.

 

780

00:21:52,611 --> 00:21:53,645

I saw something there.

 

781

00:21:53,645 --> 00:21:56,481

I wanted to take care of that for you.

 

782

00:21:56,481 --> 00:21:58,784

Yeah. No charge

 

783

00:21:58,850 --> 00:21:59,551

Nip violence.

 

784

00:21:59,551 --> 00:22:01,253

Billion in is in is in.

 

785

00:22:01,253 --> 00:22:03,522

Nancy I b is in boy

 

786

00:22:03,522 --> 00:22:05,257

comes out of the automotive industry

 

787

00:22:05,257 --> 00:22:05,891

I agree.

 

788

00:22:05,891 --> 00:22:10,796

And also a really good razor knife

 

789

00:22:10,896 --> 00:22:12,397

and a lot of times

 

790

00:22:12,397 --> 00:22:13,865

you can take the blade out it

 

791

00:22:13,865 --> 00:22:15,967

and just scrape it from the top

 

792

00:22:15,967 --> 00:22:18,270

start from the top and just slowly again,

 

793

00:22:18,270 --> 00:22:19,304

I keep talking about patience

 

794

00:22:19,304 --> 00:22:20,672

because it's so important.

 

795

00:22:20,672 --> 00:22:21,973

Is really start from the top

 

796

00:22:21,973 --> 00:22:22,774

and work your way down

 

797

00:22:22,774 --> 00:22:23,542

with that razor knife.

 

798

00:22:23,542 --> 00:22:24,876

Sometimes you can really just

 

799

00:22:24,876 --> 00:22:26,578

dial it down right to the

 

800

00:22:26,578 --> 00:22:30,082

to the, to the, the, the, the, the finish

 

801

00:22:30,182 --> 00:22:32,617

and have really very little issue

 

802

00:22:32,617 --> 00:22:33,385

with it whatsoever.

 

803

00:22:33,385 --> 00:22:36,722

So having having a nice sharp razor,

 

804

00:22:36,755 --> 00:22:39,725

it goes a long way.

 

805

00:22:39,925 --> 00:22:41,360

Do you ever try that place

 

806

00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:44,329

and the place in the Mohawk repair kit.

 

807

00:22:44,329 --> 00:22:45,997

How would that works.

 

808

00:22:45,997 --> 00:22:47,232

That's that works really nice

 

809

00:22:47,232 --> 00:22:48,266

that's that that good Mahogany.

 

810

00:22:48,266 --> 00:22:49,267

Very good in general.

 

811

00:22:49,267 --> 00:22:50,902

We talked about that before.

 

812

00:22:50,902 --> 00:22:52,771

We're doing repair to do stuff like that.

 

813

00:22:52,771 --> 00:22:55,173

Those are those wax kits and everything.

 

814

00:22:55,173 --> 00:22:58,043

Do a fantastic job, man.

 

815

00:22:58,143 --> 00:22:59,411

But sanding,

 

816

00:22:59,411 --> 00:23:00,112

you know,

 

817

00:23:00,112 --> 00:23:01,279

obviously start with the least

 

818

00:23:01,279 --> 00:23:03,014

aggressive grip first,

 

819

00:23:03,014 --> 00:23:04,950

which to me is a conditioning pad.

 

820

00:23:04,950 --> 00:23:06,451

And don't use your fingertips, right?

 

821

00:23:06,451 --> 00:23:07,319

Because with fingertips

 

822

00:23:07,319 --> 00:23:08,520

you can create valleys

 

823

00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,255

and ridges and stuff like that,

 

824

00:23:10,255 --> 00:23:11,623

even though they were microscopic.

 

825

00:23:11,623 --> 00:23:13,024

I mean, everything matters,

 

826

00:23:13,024 --> 00:23:13,759

especially of now.

 

827

00:23:13,759 --> 00:23:15,694

All eyes are on this one spot.

 

828

00:23:15,694 --> 00:23:18,563

I so sand with the palm of your hand

 

829

00:23:18,563 --> 00:23:21,666

and vacuum it and then I like to wet it.

 

830

00:23:21,666 --> 00:23:22,734

If I think I got it

 

831

00:23:22,734 --> 00:23:24,536

I think I've got everything

 

832

00:23:24,536 --> 00:23:25,036

taken care of.

 

833

00:23:25,036 --> 00:23:26,171

I like to take it and wet it

 

834

00:23:26,171 --> 00:23:26,738

and stand back

 

835

00:23:26,738 --> 00:23:29,374

and look at it from different angles.

 

836

00:23:29,374 --> 00:23:31,009

Having a heat gun,

 

837

00:23:31,009 --> 00:23:31,877

it can be huge

 

838

00:23:31,877 --> 00:23:34,112

if you put multiple coats on.

 

839

00:23:34,112 --> 00:23:36,481

We know blue tape and

 

840

00:23:36,481 --> 00:23:37,849

in different scenes of finished, but

 

841

00:23:37,849 --> 00:23:40,585

what do you get What blue tape is

 

842

00:23:40,685 --> 00:23:42,087

orange core.

 

843

00:23:42,087 --> 00:23:42,988

Yeah, yeah.

 

844

00:23:42,988 --> 00:23:45,090

2083.

 

845

00:23:45,090 --> 00:23:46,725

I'm a gamer.

 

846

00:23:46,725 --> 00:23:46,925

It is.

 

847

00:23:46,925 --> 00:23:49,694

And I think it is but it's this is

 

848

00:23:49,694 --> 00:23:50,262

it's like.

 

849

00:23:50,262 --> 00:23:52,030

There's even a better one out now.

 

850

00:23:52,030 --> 00:23:53,799

A low

 

851

00:23:53,799 --> 00:23:56,468

a low adhesive tape, Low tech.

 

852

00:23:56,468 --> 00:23:56,802

Yeah.

 

853

00:23:56,802 --> 00:24:00,005

And I'm not sure what that one is, but I

 

854

00:24:00,071 --> 00:24:00,372

you know

 

855

00:24:00,372 --> 00:24:01,473

we still don't recommend

 

856

00:24:01,473 --> 00:24:02,407

tape on the floor

 

857

00:24:02,407 --> 00:24:04,242

for a long extended period of time

 

858

00:24:04,242 --> 00:24:07,512

but that new bum was telling me about it.

 

859

00:24:07,512 --> 00:24:11,550

He uses that that low adhesive tape.

 

860

00:24:11,616 --> 00:24:12,784

When you're remodeling, it's a.

 

861

00:24:12,784 --> 00:24:14,653

Blue tape.

 

862

00:24:14,653 --> 00:24:15,020

Gate.

 

863

00:24:15,020 --> 00:24:16,321

When you're removing the tape,

 

864

00:24:16,321 --> 00:24:19,591

how do you remove it off the floor.

 

865

00:24:19,658 --> 00:24:21,526

If it's been down for a while?

 

866

00:24:21,526 --> 00:24:23,528

If it's something that I didn't do,

 

867

00:24:23,528 --> 00:24:25,430

I'm using a hairdryer or a heat gun.

 

868

00:24:25,430 --> 00:24:27,666

A more minute up just a little bit

 

869

00:24:27,666 --> 00:24:29,668

before I pull tape.

 

870

00:24:29,768 --> 00:24:32,270

We learned that in the sport, ESPN,

 

871

00:24:32,270 --> 00:24:33,605

I think I even told the story,

 

872

00:24:33,605 --> 00:24:36,608

but ESPN was running around

 

873

00:24:36,741 --> 00:24:40,245

laying ESPN logos down before they could,

 

874

00:24:40,345 --> 00:24:41,947

you know, do everything virtual,

 

875

00:24:41,947 --> 00:24:43,114

you know,

 

876

00:24:43,114 --> 00:24:44,349

and they would lay

 

877

00:24:44,349 --> 00:24:45,550

their sticker on the floor,

 

878

00:24:45,550 --> 00:24:47,619

the ESPN sticker on a floor,

 

879

00:24:47,619 --> 00:24:48,753

and the adhesive

 

880

00:24:48,753 --> 00:24:50,222

that these guys were using it.

 

881

00:24:50,222 --> 00:24:51,790

I mean, this was like

 

882

00:24:51,790 --> 00:24:53,892

it was like duct tape.

 

883

00:24:53,892 --> 00:24:55,327

And they would start yanking

 

884

00:24:55,327 --> 00:24:58,363

these things off and just rip enshrine

 

885

00:24:58,363 --> 00:24:59,798

it finished to shreds.

 

886

00:24:59,798 --> 00:25:01,166

Now you get into of

 

887

00:25:01,166 --> 00:25:03,702

some of these old college floors,

 

888

00:25:03,702 --> 00:25:05,837

you know, they haven't been sanded in 15

 

889

00:25:05,837 --> 00:25:07,506

or 20 years even,

 

890

00:25:07,506 --> 00:25:08,273

you know, even the

 

891

00:25:08,273 --> 00:25:09,608

some of the big schools.

 

892

00:25:09,608 --> 00:25:11,176

They like that, Bettina.

 

893

00:25:11,176 --> 00:25:12,577

You know, they like that.

 

894

00:25:12,577 --> 00:25:14,813

So now when you have

 

895

00:25:14,913 --> 00:25:16,448

you have tons and tons of

 

896

00:25:16,448 --> 00:25:16,781

layer,

 

897

00:25:16,781 --> 00:25:19,050

lots of layers of finish

 

898

00:25:19,050 --> 00:25:20,752

further, you get away from the wood,

 

899

00:25:20,752 --> 00:25:22,153

the easier

 

900

00:25:22,153 --> 00:25:25,156

things you're going to start to peel off.

 

901

00:25:25,190 --> 00:25:28,193

So we kind of figured out one day

 

902

00:25:28,293 --> 00:25:29,327

pulling these things off,

 

903

00:25:29,327 --> 00:25:29,928

heating them up,

 

904

00:25:29,928 --> 00:25:31,463

pulling them off and

 

905

00:25:31,463 --> 00:25:33,098

wow, what a difference that made.

 

906

00:25:33,098 --> 00:25:35,433

Now we're just clean off residue

 

907

00:25:35,433 --> 00:25:37,002

and not harming the finish.

 

908

00:25:37,002 --> 00:25:40,238

So he is definitely your friend

 

909

00:25:40,305 --> 00:25:42,607

when it comes to

 

910

00:25:42,607 --> 00:25:43,241

anything.

 

911

00:25:43,241 --> 00:25:43,542

You know,

 

912

00:25:43,542 --> 00:25:44,843

if a kid

 

913

00:25:44,843 --> 00:25:46,177

kids put in bumper stickers

 

914

00:25:46,177 --> 00:25:47,479

on his floor in the house or,

 

915

00:25:47,479 --> 00:25:48,580

you know, whatever,

 

916

00:25:48,580 --> 00:25:51,082

he you've seen it, all right?

 

917

00:25:51,082 --> 00:25:51,550

You've seen

 

918

00:25:51,550 --> 00:25:54,553

everything that people do to the floors.

 

919

00:25:54,553 --> 00:25:57,389

But when you remove and things like that

 

920

00:25:57,389 --> 00:26:00,825

can't stay, it can't say enough how

 

921

00:26:00,926 --> 00:26:04,029

easy that will make your life.

 

922

00:26:04,095 --> 00:26:04,596

Yeah.

 

923

00:26:04,596 --> 00:26:06,064

And

 

924

00:26:06,064 --> 00:26:06,698

you know, pulling

 

925

00:26:06,698 --> 00:26:08,233

off low in a 45 degree

 

926

00:26:08,233 --> 00:26:09,935

angle to the floor.

 

927

00:26:09,935 --> 00:26:12,170

And if you do see that you're starting

 

928

00:26:12,170 --> 00:26:13,338

to starting to like maybe move

 

929

00:26:13,338 --> 00:26:14,506

the finish then Yeah.

 

930

00:26:14,506 --> 00:26:15,373

Get out that heat gun.

 

931

00:26:15,373 --> 00:26:16,174

And he did it up

 

932

00:26:16,174 --> 00:26:16,841

and the adhesive,

 

933

00:26:16,841 --> 00:26:18,109

the elasticity in that tape

 

934

00:26:18,109 --> 00:26:20,011

or whatever and releases it

 

935

00:26:20,011 --> 00:26:21,980

in the other side of that rub

 

936

00:26:21,980 --> 00:26:23,615

especially you've been in the paint world

 

937

00:26:23,615 --> 00:26:24,649

when you want to paint

 

938

00:26:24,649 --> 00:26:30,555

something up with paint, what do you do.

 

939

00:26:30,622 --> 00:26:32,891

When I want to.

 

940

00:26:32,891 --> 00:26:33,925

Really get that?

 

941

00:26:33,925 --> 00:26:35,193

You want to really get that tape down.

 

942

00:26:35,193 --> 00:26:35,660

Good.

 

943

00:26:35,660 --> 00:26:37,662

So it's not going to bleed through

 

944

00:26:37,662 --> 00:26:39,998

during trip takes tip tips

 

945

00:26:39,998 --> 00:26:43,401

or takes or tricks that you use for that.

 

946

00:26:43,501 --> 00:26:45,136

You know, sometimes that bleed through

 

947

00:26:45,136 --> 00:26:46,805

is from the sand job.

 

948

00:26:46,805 --> 00:26:49,307

And we've seen that where

 

949

00:26:49,374 --> 00:26:49,941

they skip

 

950

00:26:49,941 --> 00:26:51,376

grits and no

 

951

00:26:51,376 --> 00:26:53,411

matter how smooth you make it,

 

952

00:26:53,411 --> 00:26:54,646

the contours of the finish

 

953

00:26:54,646 --> 00:26:56,514

sometimes will follow that

 

954

00:26:56,514 --> 00:26:59,017

with some of the paints and bleeding.

 

955

00:26:59,017 --> 00:27:01,353

But the really the

 

956

00:27:01,353 --> 00:27:06,091

the whole trick with that is to

 

957

00:27:06,157 --> 00:27:09,094

get it down as clean as possible,

 

958

00:27:09,094 --> 00:27:12,664

smooth the floor off

 

959

00:27:12,731 --> 00:27:13,565

three toe.

 

960

00:27:13,565 --> 00:27:13,932

Maroon

 

961

00:27:13,932 --> 00:27:16,935

pads are definitely the way to go for me.

 

962

00:27:17,068 --> 00:27:17,402

Okay.

 

963

00:27:17,402 --> 00:27:19,571

Just slow puts such a nice fine,

 

964

00:27:19,571 --> 00:27:21,773

but you get lots of scratches,

 

965

00:27:21,773 --> 00:27:23,041

not the depth of the scratch,

 

966

00:27:23,041 --> 00:27:23,942

but how many scratches

 

967

00:27:23,942 --> 00:27:25,310

we're putting in the floor.

 

968

00:27:25,310 --> 00:27:27,512

That's what's going to make things stick

 

969

00:27:27,512 --> 00:27:29,114

and not giving that any.

 

970

00:27:29,114 --> 00:27:31,049

But the other thing is

 

971

00:27:31,049 --> 00:27:35,086

the clean, therefore as much as possible.

 

972

00:27:35,153 --> 00:27:37,088

You know, another thing that we found,

 

973

00:27:37,088 --> 00:27:40,725

I mean, all this isn't talking about,

 

974

00:27:40,792 --> 00:27:41,192

but since

 

975

00:27:41,192 --> 00:27:42,527

we're talking about

 

976

00:27:42,527 --> 00:27:45,030

getting the tape down in the

 

977

00:27:45,030 --> 00:27:46,398

but you were talking about

 

978

00:27:46,398 --> 00:27:47,599

doing border work

 

979

00:27:47,599 --> 00:27:50,301

with just the stain and water popping.

 

980

00:27:50,301 --> 00:27:51,436

Yeah,

 

981

00:27:51,436 --> 00:27:55,140

we yeah, we found a great trick for that

 

982

00:27:55,206 --> 00:27:56,541

people are always afraid of.

 

983

00:27:56,541 --> 00:27:57,876

I do that

 

984

00:27:57,876 --> 00:27:59,010

that water is going to bleed

 

985

00:27:59,010 --> 00:28:00,211

under the tape and everything's

 

986

00:28:00,211 --> 00:28:01,446

going to look terrible

 

987

00:28:01,446 --> 00:28:03,348

when you're doing that border.

 

988

00:28:03,348 --> 00:28:04,816

But we found if you get that floor

 

989

00:28:04,816 --> 00:28:06,351

really smooth,

 

990

00:28:06,351 --> 00:28:09,154

really clean, and lay that tape

 

991

00:28:09,154 --> 00:28:10,355

and a little piece of paper

 

992

00:28:10,355 --> 00:28:12,190

behind the tape

 

993

00:28:12,190 --> 00:28:13,124

and everything

 

994

00:28:13,124 --> 00:28:14,159

you do, whether you're

 

995

00:28:14,159 --> 00:28:16,194

staining or water popping,

 

996

00:28:16,194 --> 00:28:19,197

you pull off of the paper

 

997

00:28:19,364 --> 00:28:22,767

onto the floor, never floor to tape,

 

998

00:28:22,867 --> 00:28:26,571

always off of the paper, off of the eye

 

999

00:28:26,571 --> 00:28:28,339

and onto the floor from that.

 

1000

00:28:28,339 --> 00:28:30,709

And you will have the most crisp lines

 

1001

00:28:30,709 --> 00:28:32,944

you've ever seen in your life

 

1002

00:28:33,011 --> 00:28:35,880

for stain and water problem.

 

1003

00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,816

Another thing you can do to rob is

 

1004

00:28:37,816 --> 00:28:40,051

you can take a spoon

 

1005

00:28:40,051 --> 00:28:41,553

and really heat that tape up

 

1006

00:28:41,553 --> 00:28:42,487

when you're putting it down

 

1007

00:28:42,487 --> 00:28:44,589

or use your thumb

 

1008

00:28:44,589 --> 00:28:47,792

and just really rub that really hard

 

1009

00:28:47,859 --> 00:28:49,594

and get that heated up

 

1010

00:28:49,594 --> 00:28:51,362

when you're laying the tape down.

 

1011

00:28:51,362 --> 00:28:52,497

And it'll be a nice,

 

1012

00:28:52,497 --> 00:28:55,100

real crisp wine as well.

 

1013

00:28:55,100 --> 00:28:55,900

And you'll get a lot

 

1014

00:28:55,900 --> 00:28:59,104

less bleed through by doing that.

 

1015

00:28:59,170 --> 00:29:01,005

I learned at an AFI expert school

 

1016

00:29:01,005 --> 00:29:02,474

we did a lot of fancy

 

1017

00:29:02,474 --> 00:29:03,608

layout and stuff like that

 

1018

00:29:03,608 --> 00:29:05,877

with different designs and stuff.

 

1019

00:29:05,877 --> 00:29:07,912

Worked really well.

 

1020

00:29:07,912 --> 00:29:09,047

All right. Rob. So what?

 

1021

00:29:09,047 --> 00:29:14,719

So I talked about

 

1022

00:29:14,819 --> 00:29:16,554

staining for heat

 

1023

00:29:16,554 --> 00:29:17,989

and blue tape and different things,

 

1024

00:29:17,989 --> 00:29:20,058

different kinds of finish.

 

1025

00:29:20,058 --> 00:29:21,226

It was, you know what?

 

1026

00:29:21,226 --> 00:29:22,026

You know what?

 

1027

00:29:22,026 --> 00:29:24,629

Finish It was down there before

 

1028

00:29:24,696 --> 00:29:25,764

and it may have been a satin

 

1029

00:29:25,764 --> 00:29:26,664

or some way or whatever.

 

1030

00:29:26,664 --> 00:29:28,867

I still like to have every scene

 

1031

00:29:28,867 --> 00:29:30,935

with me that I can

 

1032

00:29:30,935 --> 00:29:32,070

just in case I need a

 

1033

00:29:32,070 --> 00:29:33,037

cleaned it up a little bit

 

1034

00:29:33,037 --> 00:29:39,744

or sheen it back down a little bit.

 

1035

00:29:39,844 --> 00:29:43,448

I'm trying to think of of

 

1036

00:29:43,515 --> 00:29:44,816

of what would you be doing

 

1037

00:29:44,816 --> 00:29:46,184

in an expert school

 

1038

00:29:46,184 --> 00:29:47,519

trying to think of something

 

1039

00:29:47,519 --> 00:29:49,654

smart as to say there.

 

1040

00:29:49,654 --> 00:29:50,588

Well, it reminds me

 

1041

00:29:50,588 --> 00:29:53,258

when I was an apprentice carpenter

 

1042

00:29:53,258 --> 00:29:55,126

and it was one of my first days

 

1043

00:29:55,126 --> 00:29:56,494

with this carpenter who is a stud.

 

1044

00:29:56,494 --> 00:29:57,962

As I turned out, he was the guy, man.

 

1045

00:29:57,962 --> 00:29:58,897

He was like the lead

 

1046

00:29:58,897 --> 00:30:00,932

alpha dog on the job.

 

1047

00:30:00,932 --> 00:30:02,400

And

 

1048

00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:03,134

I was starting out

 

1049

00:30:03,134 --> 00:30:04,135

and I just had my tools

 

1050

00:30:04,135 --> 00:30:04,736

and I was anxious,

 

1051

00:30:04,736 --> 00:30:06,638

you know, that you know, prove my worth

 

1052

00:30:06,638 --> 00:30:07,972

and what have you.

 

1053

00:30:07,972 --> 00:30:10,742

And I said, Doing what you want me to do.

 

1054

00:30:10,809 --> 00:30:13,111

He goes, Listen, kid, everyone wants one.

 

1055

00:30:13,111 --> 00:30:14,245

I would have to have you pull the shorts

 

1056

00:30:14,245 --> 00:30:14,913

out of my ass.

 

1057

00:30:14,913 --> 00:30:16,848

Other than that, just stay out of my way.

 

1058

00:30:16,848 --> 00:30:20,885

So,

 

1059

00:30:20,952 --> 00:30:21,553

yeah,

 

1060

00:30:21,553 --> 00:30:23,254

you would send in the expert school,

 

1061

00:30:23,254 --> 00:30:25,957

Will you deliver and would or.

 

1062

00:30:25,957 --> 00:30:28,059

Yeah, pretty much, Yeah.

 

1063

00:30:28,059 --> 00:30:29,260

I was delivering wood. Yeah.

 

1064

00:30:29,260 --> 00:30:30,829

Deliver wood on the floor.

 

1065

00:30:30,829 --> 00:30:32,797

He would deliver in the wood, right?

 

1066

00:30:32,797 --> 00:30:34,933

Yeah. That's right.

 

1067

00:30:34,933 --> 00:30:36,167

All right.

 

1068

00:30:36,167 --> 00:30:38,203

Now here's another tip for you, Rob.

 

1069

00:30:38,203 --> 00:30:40,271

If the homeowners there

 

1070

00:30:40,271 --> 00:30:41,005

and you're starting

 

1071

00:30:41,005 --> 00:30:41,406

to, you know,

 

1072

00:30:41,406 --> 00:30:42,574

you're starting to do the repair,

 

1073

00:30:42,574 --> 00:30:43,608

now's the time to tell

 

1074

00:30:43,608 --> 00:30:45,210

like some random tragic story

 

1075

00:30:45,210 --> 00:30:46,778

about death and mortality

 

1076

00:30:46,778 --> 00:30:49,781

and sickness and other worldly problems.

 

1077

00:30:49,981 --> 00:30:51,649

You just want to kind of put it out there

 

1078

00:30:51,649 --> 00:30:52,917

that, you know, it's

 

1079

00:30:52,917 --> 00:30:53,718

not the end of the world.

 

1080

00:30:53,718 --> 00:30:54,219

You're right.

 

1081

00:30:54,219 --> 00:30:55,787

You know, it's just,

 

1082

00:30:55,787 --> 00:30:57,288

you know, you kind of set the stage.

 

1083

00:30:57,288 --> 00:30:58,323

You know, we talk about that.

 

1084

00:30:58,323 --> 00:30:58,790

You know, doesn't

 

1085

00:30:58,790 --> 00:31:01,125

match exactly perfectly. Is it?

 

1086

00:31:01,125 --> 00:31:01,459

You know,

 

1087

00:31:01,459 --> 00:31:02,293

like you can point out,

 

1088

00:31:02,293 --> 00:31:03,461

their kid has flaws, right?

 

1089

00:31:03,461 --> 00:31:05,029

But you love the kid.

 

1090

00:31:05,029 --> 00:31:06,497

You know what I mean?

 

1091

00:31:06,497 --> 00:31:07,498

Look at your kid.

 

1092

00:31:07,498 --> 00:31:08,366

They're a little bit goofy.

 

1093

00:31:08,366 --> 00:31:09,234

Look at what you love him.

 

1094

00:31:09,234 --> 00:31:10,101

So, I mean, not everything.

 

1095

00:31:10,101 --> 00:31:11,569

You just kind of set the stage

 

1096

00:31:11,569 --> 00:31:12,637

a little bit.

 

1097

00:31:12,637 --> 00:31:16,941

You know, it may not be exactly perfect

 

1098

00:31:17,041 --> 00:31:18,576

when.

 

1099

00:31:18,576 --> 00:31:20,879

this is so good.

 

1100

00:31:20,879 --> 00:31:22,647

When water base finish

 

1101

00:31:22,647 --> 00:31:25,383

first came out, the first time that

 

1102

00:31:25,383 --> 00:31:29,921

I ever saw a water bass finish was 1978,

 

1103

00:31:29,988 --> 00:31:31,489

They made water based finish

 

1104

00:31:31,489 --> 00:31:34,058

we used to use to go to lacquer

 

1105

00:31:34,058 --> 00:31:35,860

approach, finish on the approaches

 

1106

00:31:35,860 --> 00:31:37,161

in a bowling alley,

 

1107

00:31:37,161 --> 00:31:38,463

but they put something in it

 

1108

00:31:38,463 --> 00:31:40,031

to make it kind of slippery.

 

1109

00:31:40,031 --> 00:31:40,398

Right?

 

1110

00:31:40,398 --> 00:31:40,765

You know,

 

1111

00:31:40,765 --> 00:31:41,833

when you're

 

1112

00:31:41,833 --> 00:31:43,835

delivering the ball, you do that

 

1113

00:31:43,835 --> 00:31:46,537

final slide, right?

 

1114

00:31:46,537 --> 00:31:49,374

Well, nobody had ever seen water bass

 

1115

00:31:49,374 --> 00:31:50,942

finish before, ever.

 

1116

00:31:50,942 --> 00:31:51,976

I mean, this was it.

 

1117

00:31:51,976 --> 00:31:54,846

This was the very first.

 

1118

00:31:54,846 --> 00:31:56,814

Well, as soon as we were done

 

1119

00:31:56,814 --> 00:31:58,483

and it was maple

 

1120

00:31:58,483 --> 00:31:59,250

juice were done,

 

1121

00:31:59,250 --> 00:32:01,986

we're we're feeling the floor like

 

1122

00:32:01,986 --> 00:32:03,588

this is the roughest floor

 

1123

00:32:03,588 --> 00:32:05,023

I've ever felt in my life.

 

1124

00:32:05,023 --> 00:32:08,192

And you got to remember, this was a 78.

 

1125

00:32:08,192 --> 00:32:09,894

We were finishing everything with

 

1126

00:32:09,894 --> 00:32:12,196

grit streets, right?

 

1127

00:32:12,263 --> 00:32:12,697

So it was

 

1128

00:32:12,697 --> 00:32:13,264

an 80 grit

 

1129

00:32:13,264 --> 00:32:16,267

screen finish, put water based on that,

 

1130

00:32:16,434 --> 00:32:19,203

you could not imagine

 

1131

00:32:19,203 --> 00:32:21,539

how rough this floor was.

 

1132

00:32:21,539 --> 00:32:23,975

And the sales guy said to us, Look,

 

1133

00:32:23,975 --> 00:32:24,842

whatever you do,

 

1134

00:32:24,842 --> 00:32:25,677

and I swear to you,

 

1135

00:32:25,677 --> 00:32:27,045

he said, This to me goes,

 

1136

00:32:27,045 --> 00:32:29,180

Whatever you do, don't buffet it.

 

1137

00:32:29,180 --> 00:32:30,815

Don't make it way too slippery.

 

1138

00:32:30,815 --> 00:32:35,853

Just leave it alone.

 

1139

00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:36,888

It was

 

1140

00:32:36,888 --> 00:32:39,624

I swear to you, he was absolutely right.

 

1141

00:32:39,624 --> 00:32:41,859

He was absolutely right.

 

1142

00:32:41,859 --> 00:32:44,796

It as soon as they started

 

1143

00:32:44,796 --> 00:32:47,999

using it and sliding it smooth, dried out

 

1144

00:32:48,199 --> 00:32:50,568

and everything. So that was it.

 

1145

00:32:50,568 --> 00:32:51,135

That was,

 

1146

00:32:51,135 --> 00:32:51,336

you know,

 

1147

00:32:51,336 --> 00:32:53,805

I should have got that as a tattoo.

 

1148

00:32:53,805 --> 00:32:54,906

Night.

 

1149

00:32:54,906 --> 00:32:57,141

That became my calling.

 

1150

00:32:57,141 --> 00:32:58,943

Yep.

 

1151

00:32:58,943 --> 00:33:00,178

All right.

 

1152

00:33:00,178 --> 00:33:00,812

So what,

 

1153

00:33:00,812 --> 00:33:01,546

what else

 

1154

00:33:01,546 --> 00:33:02,046

now, Rob,

 

1155

00:33:02,046 --> 00:33:03,247

we got to put the finish on now

 

1156

00:33:03,247 --> 00:33:07,485

as any suggestions about the finish.

 

1157

00:33:07,552 --> 00:33:08,019

Yeah.

 

1158

00:33:08,019 --> 00:33:12,323

Stay away from a foam brush.

 

1159

00:33:12,423 --> 00:33:13,624

I foam

 

1160

00:33:13,624 --> 00:33:15,326

brushes to me are

 

1161

00:33:15,326 --> 00:33:16,627

I don't know where you would use

 

1162

00:33:16,627 --> 00:33:18,496

a foam brush. I really don't.

 

1163

00:33:18,496 --> 00:33:20,031

Yeah.

 

1164

00:33:20,031 --> 00:33:21,065

Cut a trimmed pad.

 

1165

00:33:21,065 --> 00:33:23,468

Cut a T-bar, cut something,

 

1166

00:33:23,468 --> 00:33:26,237

use the exact thing,

 

1167

00:33:26,237 --> 00:33:26,804

whatever.

 

1168

00:33:26,804 --> 00:33:28,106

You put your final coat on.

 

1169

00:33:28,106 --> 00:33:30,241

That's what I'm applying my finish with.

 

1170

00:33:30,241 --> 00:33:31,776

Yep.

 

1171

00:33:31,776 --> 00:33:34,512

I want the same exact footprint.

 

1172

00:33:34,512 --> 00:33:35,480

Those foam brushes.

 

1173

00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:36,247

I look at the,

 

1174

00:33:36,247 --> 00:33:38,016

you know, there's bins of them

 

1175

00:33:38,016 --> 00:33:38,883

at Home Depot.

 

1176

00:33:38,883 --> 00:33:40,685

I'm like, Who's using these things?

 

1177

00:33:40,685 --> 00:33:42,987

Because they don't apply anything.

 

1178

00:33:42,987 --> 00:33:46,157

All they do is squeegee stuff.

 

1179

00:33:46,257 --> 00:33:48,192

Yeah, it's like a very soft squeegee.

 

1180

00:33:48,192 --> 00:33:50,128

So

 

1181

00:33:50,128 --> 00:33:51,763

that's the thing that I would always do

 

1182

00:33:51,763 --> 00:33:52,296

no matter what.

 

1183

00:33:52,296 --> 00:33:53,197

If I was a roller

 

1184

00:33:53,197 --> 00:33:55,266

I used a roller for was T-bar,

 

1185

00:33:55,266 --> 00:33:56,934

trim pad, whatever.

 

1186

00:33:56,934 --> 00:33:59,570

That's exactly what I would use to do my,

 

1187

00:33:59,570 --> 00:34:01,372

my repairs.

 

1188

00:34:01,472 --> 00:34:02,740

So I'll tell you a little

 

1189

00:34:02,740 --> 00:34:05,943

secret about applicators.

 

1190

00:34:06,010 --> 00:34:07,845

Never trust them.

 

1191

00:34:07,845 --> 00:34:09,547

And I don't care what the applicator is.

 

1192

00:34:09,547 --> 00:34:12,450

If you ever buy a brand new brush

 

1193

00:34:12,450 --> 00:34:14,185

and put it in a bucket of water,

 

1194

00:34:14,185 --> 00:34:15,787

run, run, run, water over it.

 

1195

00:34:15,787 --> 00:34:16,154

And again,

 

1196

00:34:16,154 --> 00:34:16,654

I'm talking about

 

1197

00:34:16,654 --> 00:34:18,322

a good high quality brush

 

1198

00:34:18,322 --> 00:34:20,258

and take a a brush comb.

 

1199

00:34:20,258 --> 00:34:20,691

No, I mean,

 

1200

00:34:20,691 --> 00:34:22,927

they make combs for brushing for for.

 

1201

00:34:22,927 --> 00:34:24,695

Yeah, they make brushes for combs.

 

1202

00:34:24,695 --> 00:34:27,765

Right then and brush it through and look

 

1203

00:34:27,765 --> 00:34:30,768

how dirty that that brand new brush is.

 

1204

00:34:30,835 --> 00:34:31,803

They're filthy

 

1205

00:34:31,803 --> 00:34:33,504

and the hairs will come out

 

1206

00:34:33,504 --> 00:34:35,773

like it'll blow your mind.

 

1207

00:34:35,773 --> 00:34:36,908

We know about tea bars

 

1208

00:34:36,908 --> 00:34:37,809

and all the other applicators.

 

1209

00:34:37,809 --> 00:34:38,376

So you're right.

 

1210

00:34:38,376 --> 00:34:39,410

You know,

 

1211

00:34:39,410 --> 00:34:40,678

make sure you get the applicator,

 

1212

00:34:40,678 --> 00:34:41,479

the proper applicator.

 

1213

00:34:41,479 --> 00:34:42,180

Every applicator

 

1214

00:34:42,180 --> 00:34:44,282

leaves a signature on the floor

 

1215

00:34:44,282 --> 00:34:45,216

so, you know,

 

1216

00:34:45,216 --> 00:34:47,018

matching the applicator to the job

 

1217

00:34:47,018 --> 00:34:47,518

if you can.

 

1218

00:34:47,518 --> 00:34:49,020

You may not know which one it is,

 

1219

00:34:49,020 --> 00:34:51,155

whoever did the work before.

 

1220

00:34:51,222 --> 00:34:53,357

But if you can't at all,

 

1221

00:34:53,357 --> 00:34:55,626

make sure you do that as well. Yes.

 

1222

00:34:55,626 --> 00:34:57,462

And then you want to start in the middle

 

1223

00:34:57,462 --> 00:34:59,730

and fan yourself out in both directions.

 

1224

00:34:59,730 --> 00:35:00,932

Right.

 

1225

00:35:00,932 --> 00:35:03,067

And less is more.

 

1226

00:35:03,067 --> 00:35:04,168

But again, if you

 

1227

00:35:04,168 --> 00:35:05,736

if you put the coat on it, you know,

 

1228

00:35:05,736 --> 00:35:06,771

it was like he rolled it out,

 

1229

00:35:06,771 --> 00:35:07,839

for instance.

 

1230

00:35:07,839 --> 00:35:08,339

And, you know,

 

1231

00:35:08,339 --> 00:35:09,373

that's going on pretty heavy.

 

1232

00:35:09,373 --> 00:35:11,642

If you go back with a thin coat,

 

1233

00:35:11,642 --> 00:35:12,643

you're likely going

 

1234

00:35:12,643 --> 00:35:14,712

to see the difference there.

 

1235

00:35:14,712 --> 00:35:17,315

Oftentimes I would I would

 

1236

00:35:17,315 --> 00:35:19,083

tape off a big area

 

1237

00:35:19,083 --> 00:35:20,651

or I could just run the roller over it,

 

1238

00:35:20,651 --> 00:35:21,719

you know what I mean?

 

1239

00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:22,220

And then

 

1240

00:35:22,220 --> 00:35:23,287

and then

 

1241

00:35:23,287 --> 00:35:24,255

then as it dried

 

1242

00:35:24,255 --> 00:35:26,057

and then pull the tape out of there.

 

1243

00:35:26,057 --> 00:35:27,525

But before I pull the Tea Party,

 

1244

00:35:27,525 --> 00:35:29,293

let it get a hard edge on it.

 

1245

00:35:29,293 --> 00:35:31,295

So the finish didn't roll over.

 

1246

00:35:31,295 --> 00:35:32,763

Does that make sense?

 

1247

00:35:32,763 --> 00:35:34,098

Yeah, absolutely.

 

1248

00:35:34,098 --> 00:35:37,201

Yeah. Yeah. So

 

1249

00:35:37,268 --> 00:35:38,536

if you do it, maybe.

 

1250

00:35:38,536 --> 00:35:39,403

You're going to babysit

 

1251

00:35:39,403 --> 00:35:41,005

the tape a little bit.

 

1252

00:35:41,005 --> 00:35:42,507

You don't want to completely hard,

 

1253

00:35:42,507 --> 00:35:43,941

but you don't want it still wet.

 

1254

00:35:43,941 --> 00:35:47,478

You want to just as it's flashed over.

 

1255

00:35:47,578 --> 00:35:49,013

Yeah.

 

1256

00:35:49,013 --> 00:35:50,214

And then again

 

1257

00:35:50,214 --> 00:35:53,217

if you're doing multiple coats,

 

1258

00:35:53,451 --> 00:35:54,118

hair dryer,

 

1259

00:35:54,118 --> 00:35:57,855

heat gun is a great way to go.

 

1260

00:35:57,922 --> 00:36:00,725

But you know, give yourself

 

1261

00:36:00,725 --> 00:36:01,759

some patience to man

 

1262

00:36:01,759 --> 00:36:02,527

because sometimes

 

1263

00:36:02,527 --> 00:36:05,096

you just going to have to have to give it

 

1264

00:36:05,096 --> 00:36:05,696

several hours,

 

1265

00:36:05,696 --> 00:36:08,466

go to lines, come back or whatever.

 

1266

00:36:08,466 --> 00:36:11,869

But, you know, as they say, you know,

 

1267

00:36:11,969 --> 00:36:13,538

act like you've been there before.

 

1268

00:36:13,538 --> 00:36:14,105

You know what I mean?

 

1269

00:36:14,105 --> 00:36:15,306

And instill some confidence

 

1270

00:36:15,306 --> 00:36:15,940

in the homeowner.

 

1271

00:36:15,940 --> 00:36:16,774

And one way you can do

 

1272

00:36:16,774 --> 00:36:18,142

that is by

 

1273

00:36:18,142 --> 00:36:19,810

showing up with the putting putting down

 

1274

00:36:19,810 --> 00:36:21,279

the nice blanket, down first,

 

1275

00:36:21,279 --> 00:36:22,180

getting your toolbox.

 

1276

00:36:22,180 --> 00:36:23,381

It's very professional looking

 

1277

00:36:23,381 --> 00:36:24,348

that has

 

1278

00:36:24,348 --> 00:36:25,783

all the things we talked about earlier,

 

1279

00:36:25,783 --> 00:36:27,185

all the paints, little brushes,

 

1280

00:36:27,185 --> 00:36:27,785

all the little nip

 

1281

00:36:27,785 --> 00:36:28,886

files, the razors,

 

1282

00:36:28,886 --> 00:36:31,689

all these different things.

 

1283

00:36:31,756 --> 00:36:34,225

And,

 

1284

00:36:34,225 --> 00:36:35,126

you know, make it look like

 

1285

00:36:35,126 --> 00:36:36,260

you know what you're doing

 

1286

00:36:36,260 --> 00:36:37,862

and then bring patience to the job.

 

1287

00:36:37,862 --> 00:36:39,564

And then if you've got to wait.

 

1288

00:36:39,564 --> 00:36:41,532

But before you put that other coat on,

 

1289

00:36:41,532 --> 00:36:43,000

for heaven's sakes, give it time.

 

1290

00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,502

Or are you just going to use

 

1291

00:36:44,502 --> 00:36:46,137

a never ending problem?

 

1292

00:36:46,137 --> 00:36:47,605

So

 

1293

00:36:47,605 --> 00:36:50,608

have patience when you're doing it.

 

1294

00:36:50,675 --> 00:36:51,776

If you're going to use a brush,

 

1295

00:36:51,776 --> 00:36:54,445

make sure it's a good high quality brush

 

1296

00:36:54,445 --> 00:36:55,446

and not a cheap throw away.

 

1297

00:36:55,446 --> 00:36:57,114

And by the way,

 

1298

00:36:57,114 --> 00:36:58,950

if you do have a good high quality brush

 

1299

00:36:58,950 --> 00:37:00,651

and you lose the jacket,

 

1300

00:37:00,651 --> 00:37:02,720

you throw the brush away,

 

1301

00:37:02,720 --> 00:37:04,689

I mean, that jacket is as important

 

1302

00:37:04,689 --> 00:37:06,290

as any part of that brush.

 

1303

00:37:06,290 --> 00:37:08,993

And so I always clean them out.

 

1304

00:37:08,993 --> 00:37:11,495

Was the like done soap and water

 

1305

00:37:11,495 --> 00:37:12,430

and whatever.

 

1306

00:37:12,430 --> 00:37:14,332

I take a spinner, you use those

 

1307

00:37:14,332 --> 00:37:16,000

rub, by the way,

 

1308

00:37:16,067 --> 00:37:16,968

the spinners

 

1309

00:37:16,968 --> 00:37:17,435

hang out the

 

1310

00:37:17,435 --> 00:37:18,569

brushes and your old covers

 

1311

00:37:18,569 --> 00:37:20,438

and stuff their lightsaber

 

1312

00:37:20,438 --> 00:37:21,772

and then put it back to the jacket.

 

1313

00:37:21,772 --> 00:37:24,008

Real nice and save that brush.

 

1314

00:37:24,008 --> 00:37:25,142

We don't use brushes anymore

 

1315

00:37:25,142 --> 00:37:25,977

like we used to,

 

1316

00:37:25,977 --> 00:37:27,979

but on certain occasions we certainly

 

1317

00:37:27,979 --> 00:37:30,081

they come in handy.

 

1318

00:37:30,081 --> 00:37:31,616

It's in your tool kit.

 

1319

00:37:31,616 --> 00:37:33,251

NEARY

 

1320

00:37:33,251 --> 00:37:38,055

Yep.

 

1321

00:37:38,122 --> 00:37:39,323

That was a great sandpaper

 

1322

00:37:39,323 --> 00:37:40,458

as well, but agreed sandpaper.

 

1323

00:37:40,458 --> 00:37:41,359

If it ends up

 

1324

00:37:41,359 --> 00:37:43,894

being a little bit too shiny,

 

1325

00:37:43,894 --> 00:37:44,996

you can

 

1326

00:37:44,996 --> 00:37:46,097

you can take the sandpaper

 

1327

00:37:46,097 --> 00:37:48,432

and got it coming back one direction.

 

1328

00:37:48,432 --> 00:37:49,767

And sometimes we'll take

 

1329

00:37:49,767 --> 00:37:51,235

the sheen down for you.

 

1330

00:37:51,235 --> 00:37:52,503

And just going one direction.

 

1331

00:37:52,503 --> 00:37:55,506

Or way polishing can do the same thing.

 

1332

00:37:55,740 --> 00:37:56,607

Yeah, yeah.

 

1333

00:37:56,607 --> 00:37:57,942

You can get

 

1334

00:37:57,942 --> 00:37:58,943

really aggressive

 

1335

00:37:58,943 --> 00:37:59,977

with a white

 

1336

00:37:59,977 --> 00:38:03,347

polishing pad to change a sheen without.

 

1337

00:38:03,414 --> 00:38:06,217

Yeah, scratching the floor.

 

1338

00:38:06,217 --> 00:38:07,818

And I would suggest

 

1339

00:38:07,818 --> 00:38:10,221

maybe practicing that first.

 

1340

00:38:10,221 --> 00:38:11,922

So, you know, kind of what it's going to

 

1341

00:38:11,922 --> 00:38:12,723

what it's going to look like

 

1342

00:38:12,723 --> 00:38:14,325

before you get to the job.

 

1343

00:38:14,325 --> 00:38:14,659

No.

 

1344

00:38:14,659 --> 00:38:15,226

On another

 

1345

00:38:15,226 --> 00:38:16,193

maybe it's

 

1346

00:38:16,193 --> 00:38:17,194

like in your own home

 

1347

00:38:17,194 --> 00:38:18,296

somewhere in a corner.

 

1348

00:38:18,296 --> 00:38:19,330

You know what I mean?

 

1349

00:38:19,330 --> 00:38:21,999

You take that margin pad really, really

 

1350

00:38:21,999 --> 00:38:23,234

aggressively, hit it

 

1351

00:38:23,234 --> 00:38:25,036

and see what it's going to do.

 

1352

00:38:25,036 --> 00:38:26,537

Not a bad idea.

 

1353

00:38:26,537 --> 00:38:29,473

Also, automotive compounds,

 

1354

00:38:29,473 --> 00:38:32,076

I mean, can really change the sheen level

 

1355

00:38:32,076 --> 00:38:34,078

and get you out of a jam.

 

1356

00:38:34,145 --> 00:38:35,746

I was at a convention one day

 

1357

00:38:35,746 --> 00:38:37,048

and everybody was running

 

1358

00:38:37,048 --> 00:38:41,052

around the place going nuts that this

 

1359

00:38:41,118 --> 00:38:42,453

there was a guy there

 

1360

00:38:42,453 --> 00:38:45,456

doing the automotive compound thing.

 

1361

00:38:45,589 --> 00:38:49,160

I just I didn't see I didn't see it.

 

1362

00:38:49,260 --> 00:38:51,595

Kenny Ivanka was the guy

 

1363

00:38:51,595 --> 00:38:52,330

whose name

 

1364

00:38:52,330 --> 00:38:52,963

I'm glad to be able

 

1365

00:38:52,963 --> 00:38:54,965

to give him credit for that.

 

1366

00:38:54,965 --> 00:38:57,001

Believes that in North Carolina.

 

1367

00:38:57,001 --> 00:38:59,303

Pretty sure he's out in North Carolina.

 

1368

00:38:59,303 --> 00:39:00,271

He did a demonstration

 

1369

00:39:00,271 --> 00:39:03,274

one time doing just that,

 

1370

00:39:03,474 --> 00:39:04,542

and he did a really good job.

 

1371

00:39:04,542 --> 00:39:05,609

And it really amazing.

 

1372

00:39:05,609 --> 00:39:07,978

How much is he a floor guy?

 

1373

00:39:07,978 --> 00:39:09,146

He's a damn good floor guy.

 

1374

00:39:09,146 --> 00:39:10,314

Yeah.

 

1375

00:39:10,314 --> 00:39:11,582

Okay. Yeah.

 

1376

00:39:11,582 --> 00:39:13,217

Down in North Carolina.

 

1377

00:39:13,217 --> 00:39:15,186

So what do you do?

 

1378

00:39:15,186 --> 00:39:16,354

So he he took

 

1379

00:39:16,354 --> 00:39:18,456

were the automotive compounds compounds.

 

1380

00:39:18,456 --> 00:39:19,757

And he is able to show you

 

1381

00:39:19,757 --> 00:39:22,827

how you put out about an amount

 

1382

00:39:22,827 --> 00:39:24,762

as big as a toothpaste,

 

1383

00:39:24,762 --> 00:39:25,496

like a little line,

 

1384

00:39:25,496 --> 00:39:27,365

you know, three is line or whatever.

 

1385

00:39:27,365 --> 00:39:29,834

So the white launching pad

 

1386

00:39:29,834 --> 00:39:31,535

and then demonstrating how

 

1387

00:39:31,535 --> 00:39:33,270

you could really shine up an area

 

1388

00:39:33,270 --> 00:39:34,405

on a repair.

 

1389

00:39:34,405 --> 00:39:34,705

Right.

 

1390

00:39:34,705 --> 00:39:35,706

Without breaking into,

 

1391

00:39:35,706 --> 00:39:36,207

you know what I mean?

 

1392

00:39:36,207 --> 00:39:39,210

Just to bring the sea level back up

 

1393

00:39:39,276 --> 00:39:41,078

and did a very nice job.

 

1394

00:39:41,078 --> 00:39:42,413

So the automotive compounds

 

1395

00:39:42,413 --> 00:39:43,848

is that there's certain things

 

1396

00:39:43,848 --> 00:39:45,716

that don't leave even without me,

 

1397

00:39:45,716 --> 00:39:47,852

and I cannot say enough about that. Fine.

 

1398

00:39:47,852 --> 00:39:49,887

So man,

 

1399

00:39:49,887 --> 00:39:50,821

that points are just

 

1400

00:39:50,821 --> 00:39:53,824

one of the best tools ever made.

 

1401

00:39:53,824 --> 00:39:54,692

First tool, by the way,

 

1402

00:39:54,692 --> 00:39:56,427

festivals on BackOrder right now,

 

1403

00:39:56,427 --> 00:39:57,328

I don't know what date it is today,

 

1404

00:39:57,328 --> 00:39:58,028

but like all their

 

1405

00:39:58,028 --> 00:39:59,597

standards are on backorder man.

 

1406

00:39:59,597 --> 00:40:01,399

There's like 150 of them on backorder

 

1407

00:40:01,399 --> 00:40:02,900

that somebody told me,

 

1408

00:40:02,900 --> 00:40:05,503

you first of all, makes a great song.

 

1409

00:40:05,503 --> 00:40:06,003

The tracks,

 

1410

00:40:06,003 --> 00:40:08,406

the festival tracks are incredible

 

1411

00:40:08,406 --> 00:40:09,240

when you're doing repairs

 

1412

00:40:09,240 --> 00:40:12,109

like this Trans did even for this repair

 

1413

00:40:12,109 --> 00:40:13,544

man transition is a lifesaver.

 

1414

00:40:13,544 --> 00:40:14,578

When someone pulls the tape

 

1415

00:40:14,578 --> 00:40:15,579

across the floor

 

1416

00:40:15,579 --> 00:40:17,448

and pulls the finish off it.

 

1417

00:40:17,448 --> 00:40:19,016

What I recognized one time

 

1418

00:40:19,016 --> 00:40:19,617

and this took me

 

1419

00:40:19,617 --> 00:40:20,851

I mean, it took me years before

 

1420

00:40:20,851 --> 00:40:23,454

I finally figured this out, is

 

1421

00:40:23,454 --> 00:40:25,055

if I trying to match an old

 

1422

00:40:25,055 --> 00:40:26,891

an all existing finish

 

1423

00:40:26,891 --> 00:40:27,358

say he's

 

1424

00:40:27,358 --> 00:40:28,492

got a golden brown type

 

1425

00:40:28,492 --> 00:40:29,627

stain and it's got an

 

1426

00:40:29,627 --> 00:40:31,595

existing polyurethane on it

 

1427

00:40:31,595 --> 00:40:35,032

and I had to match existing floor.

 

1428

00:40:35,132 --> 00:40:36,167

It took me for a long

 

1429

00:40:36,167 --> 00:40:36,901

time to realize that,

 

1430

00:40:36,901 --> 00:40:37,134

you know,

 

1431

00:40:37,134 --> 00:40:38,569

I can match the stain color

 

1432

00:40:38,569 --> 00:40:40,704

sometimes, you know, sometimes I can't.

 

1433

00:40:40,704 --> 00:40:41,505

But there were times

 

1434

00:40:41,505 --> 00:40:43,507

when you can match the stain color

 

1435

00:40:43,507 --> 00:40:44,275

what I wasn't

 

1436

00:40:44,275 --> 00:40:44,675

what I,

 

1437

00:40:44,675 --> 00:40:45,643

what took me so long

 

1438

00:40:45,643 --> 00:40:46,143

to figure out

 

1439

00:40:46,143 --> 00:40:47,511

is what I wasn't able to match

 

1440

00:40:47,511 --> 00:40:49,747

was the ambiance of the finish.

 

1441

00:40:49,747 --> 00:40:51,882

And that was the difference maker.

 

1442

00:40:51,882 --> 00:40:53,851

It wasn't until I really dialed in

 

1443

00:40:53,851 --> 00:40:55,252

and drenched in,

 

1444

00:40:55,252 --> 00:40:56,220

figured out

 

1445

00:40:56,220 --> 00:40:57,955

how it worked with the finishes

 

1446

00:40:57,955 --> 00:40:59,924

that that's the game changer, man.

 

1447

00:40:59,924 --> 00:41:01,292

I honestly feel like

 

1448

00:41:01,292 --> 00:41:02,827

I don't to be cocky here,

 

1449

00:41:02,827 --> 00:41:06,163

but I feel like if you look at it.

 

1450

00:41:06,230 --> 00:41:08,199

You don't want to be cocky.

 

1451

00:41:08,199 --> 00:41:09,500

No, no, no.

 

1452

00:41:09,500 --> 00:41:11,602

The four guys don't like that, man.

 

1453

00:41:11,602 --> 00:41:12,870

When you they will find it.

 

1454

00:41:12,870 --> 00:41:14,572

Four guys find a way to get back at you.

 

1455

00:41:14,572 --> 00:41:17,441

You get too cocky. I am glad so.

 

1456

00:41:17,441 --> 00:41:19,510

But I feel like

 

1457

00:41:19,510 --> 00:41:21,412

if I'm trying to match something,

 

1458

00:41:21,412 --> 00:41:25,082

as long as my my staying color is lighter

 

1459

00:41:25,082 --> 00:41:26,951

than what I'm trying to match,

 

1460

00:41:26,951 --> 00:41:30,654

I can pretty much match anything.

 

1461

00:41:30,754 --> 00:41:31,956

Yeah, I'm going to tailor that.

 

1462

00:41:31,956 --> 00:41:32,857

I mean, I know right now,

 

1463

00:41:32,857 --> 00:41:34,925

guys, you're a legend, but.

 

1464

00:41:34,925 --> 00:41:37,795

But I can do.

 

1465

00:41:37,795 --> 00:41:40,064

You can match anything you heard.

 

1466

00:41:40,064 --> 00:41:40,865

I can get.

 

1467

00:41:40,865 --> 00:41:42,066

You can get damn close.

 

1468

00:41:42,066 --> 00:41:42,600

I'm going to say

 

1469

00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,603

you generally people can get damn close

 

1470

00:41:45,736 --> 00:41:46,937

by adding transit

 

1471

00:41:46,937 --> 00:41:47,938

if they can get close

 

1472

00:41:47,938 --> 00:41:48,739

with the stain color.

 

1473

00:41:48,739 --> 00:41:50,541

And as long as your floor is lighter

 

1474

00:41:50,541 --> 00:41:51,876

than what you're trying to match,

 

1475

00:41:51,876 --> 00:41:53,043

translate it.

 

1476

00:41:53,043 --> 00:41:55,880

Freakin lifesaver man.

 

1477

00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:57,081

Amazing product.

 

1478

00:41:57,081 --> 00:41:58,516

Absolutely.

 

1479

00:41:58,516 --> 00:41:59,316

We pair.

 

1480

00:41:59,316 --> 00:42:01,619

We pulled that at all the schools.

 

1481

00:42:01,619 --> 00:42:02,953

We show everybody.

 

1482

00:42:02,953 --> 00:42:04,421

You know, before you do

 

1483

00:42:04,421 --> 00:42:06,290

stand down, something

 

1484

00:42:06,290 --> 00:42:09,059

just maybe it's not dark enough.

 

1485

00:42:09,059 --> 00:42:11,295

And rather than do a whole reason

 

1486

00:42:11,295 --> 00:42:12,963

to get the right color

 

1487

00:42:12,963 --> 00:42:14,999

man trans stance, a lifesaver.

 

1488

00:42:14,999 --> 00:42:16,567

And that's one of the

 

1489

00:42:16,567 --> 00:42:16,800

that's

 

1490

00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:18,369

one of the things that we show at

 

1491

00:42:18,369 --> 00:42:19,436

the schools is mixing

 

1492

00:42:19,436 --> 00:42:21,171

transcendent colors.

 

1493

00:42:21,171 --> 00:42:23,474

You know, colors is everything now

 

1494

00:42:23,474 --> 00:42:26,243

to the super sport paints

 

1495

00:42:26,343 --> 00:42:28,112

the intense steel

 

1496

00:42:28,112 --> 00:42:30,247

for that product for trans tint

 

1497

00:42:30,247 --> 00:42:31,715

and the paints.

 

1498

00:42:31,715 --> 00:42:33,717

Yeah, you just can't beat that.

 

1499

00:42:33,717 --> 00:42:37,288

I mean, they just go together perfectly.

 

1500

00:42:37,388 --> 00:42:38,455

I mean, perfectly.

 

1501

00:42:38,455 --> 00:42:40,558

So it's a lifesaver.

 

1502

00:42:40,558 --> 00:42:43,093

And so it's it's fun, too. It's fun.

 

1503

00:42:43,093 --> 00:42:45,829

We do it at the schools because

 

1504

00:42:45,829 --> 00:42:48,132

once you start putting down the

 

1505

00:42:48,132 --> 00:42:51,535

Nordic seal and natural seal, now

 

1506

00:42:51,635 --> 00:42:53,203

everybody's ready for Poland

 

1507

00:42:53,203 --> 00:42:55,739

transplant where before

 

1508

00:42:55,739 --> 00:42:58,175

nobody, nobody knew how to pull a trans

 

1509

00:42:58,175 --> 00:42:58,842

type product.

 

1510

00:42:58,842 --> 00:43:00,978

You know, I mean, there were issues.

 

1511

00:43:00,978 --> 00:43:02,046

And the other thing

 

1512

00:43:02,046 --> 00:43:04,548

you got to watch about transplant

 

1513

00:43:04,548 --> 00:43:05,849

now you spill a quart of that.

 

1514

00:43:05,849 --> 00:43:07,084

And I think that's

 

1515

00:43:07,084 --> 00:43:08,686

what they used to color

 

1516

00:43:08,686 --> 00:43:09,753

the river in Chicago.

 

1517

00:43:09,753 --> 00:43:11,855

Green drains did couple ports.

 

1518

00:43:11,855 --> 00:43:13,123

That's about it.

 

1519

00:43:13,123 --> 00:43:15,059

That stuff take two ounces.

 

1520

00:43:15,059 --> 00:43:16,527

Yeah.

 

1521

00:43:16,527 --> 00:43:17,361

So we should say

 

1522

00:43:17,361 --> 00:43:18,495

we should say while we're at this

 

1523

00:43:18,495 --> 00:43:19,330

then that we don't want

 

1524

00:43:19,330 --> 00:43:20,331

to be cavalier about this

 

1525

00:43:20,331 --> 00:43:21,432

because transplant can

 

1526

00:43:21,432 --> 00:43:23,667

be difficult to work with

 

1527

00:43:23,767 --> 00:43:24,335

just a few

 

1528

00:43:24,335 --> 00:43:25,569

drops per gallon

 

1529

00:43:25,569 --> 00:43:27,705

makes a dramatic difference.

 

1530

00:43:27,705 --> 00:43:28,305

You don't want everyone

 

1531

00:43:28,305 --> 00:43:29,306

to spill it on anything

 

1532

00:43:29,306 --> 00:43:31,475

because God help you getting it back off.

 

1533

00:43:31,475 --> 00:43:33,143

But it absolutely

 

1534

00:43:33,143 --> 00:43:33,844

is a don't

 

1535

00:43:33,844 --> 00:43:36,080

leave home type of product for me

 

1536

00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:37,948

and for doing small repairs.

 

1537

00:43:37,948 --> 00:43:40,951

I the deal is. Yeah.

 

1538

00:43:41,018 --> 00:43:44,021

Just an amazing combination.

 

1539

00:43:44,221 --> 00:43:45,089

All right.

 

1540

00:43:45,089 --> 00:43:46,223

If we leave anything out,

 

1541

00:43:46,223 --> 00:43:47,825

I think not now.

 

1542

00:43:47,825 --> 00:43:50,027

I think we're 45 minutes.

 

1543

00:43:50,027 --> 00:43:52,630

Yeah. Okay.

 

1544

00:43:52,630 --> 00:43:53,831

So pull the hair out of it.

 

1545

00:43:53,831 --> 00:43:57,167

Finish.

 

1546

00:43:57,234 --> 00:43:58,135

Only two

 

1547

00:43:58,135 --> 00:43:59,536

four guys can talk

 

1548

00:43:59,536 --> 00:44:01,672

about pulling the hair out of the finish

 

1549

00:44:01,672 --> 00:44:03,641

for 45 minutes.

 

1550

00:44:03,641 --> 00:44:05,209

Yes,

 

1551

00:44:05,209 --> 00:44:08,178

I want to into even pouring the finish

 

1552

00:44:08,178 --> 00:44:09,813

from the from the from the

 

1553

00:44:09,813 --> 00:44:11,281

from the bucket to the floor.

 

1554

00:44:11,281 --> 00:44:12,650

But that's another topic.

 

1555

00:44:12,650 --> 00:44:15,886

Okay, Rob, thanks, man. I appreciate it.

 

1556

00:44:15,986 --> 00:44:16,453

This has

 

1557

00:44:16,453 --> 00:44:17,388

been another episode

 

1558

00:44:17,388 --> 00:44:19,623

of On the Floor with Wayne and Rob.

 

1559

00:44:19,623 --> 00:44:21,392

Please do stay tuned for another episode.
