Welcome to another
3
00:00:12,345 --> 00:00:13,179
episode of On the Floor
4
00:00:13,179 --> 00:00:13,947
with Wayne and Rob.
5
00:00:13,947 --> 00:00:14,848
I'm Wayne Highlander,
6
00:00:14,848 --> 00:00:17,050
director of Sales, Bona Adhesives.
7
00:00:17,050 --> 00:00:21,554
I'm Rob Johnson from Bona Training.

00:00:21,621 --> 00:00:22,789
All Very good.
9
00:00:22,789 --> 00:00:25,425
Happy Easter
10
00:00:25,425 --> 00:00:27,293
or Happy Easter Coming up.
11
00:00:27,293 --> 00:00:28,428
Yeah. Yep.
12
00:00:28,428 --> 00:00:29,596
It's Hey,
13
00:00:29,596 --> 00:00:29,929
you know,
14
00:00:29,929 --> 00:00:30,497
we didn't talk
15
00:00:30,497 --> 00:00:35,301
about the last couple shows.
16
00:00:35,402 --> 00:00:36,236
You know what episode
17
00:00:36,236 --> 00:00:41,241
this is?
18
00:00:41,307 --> 00:00:42,575
This is 250
19
00:00:42,575 --> 00:00:45,745
to 2 episodes ago.
20
00:00:45,845 --> 00:00:47,080
I think it's 252.
21
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:52,152
We did our 250th episode.
22
00:00:52,218 --> 00:00:52,819
I thought we'd.
23
00:00:52,819 --> 00:00:53,353
Have ten.
24
00:00:53,353 --> 00:00:56,790
Or 12 when we started this thing.
25
00:00:56,890 --> 00:00:59,592
I said we could probably do 12 podcasts
26
00:00:59,592 --> 00:01:01,861
about Santa for.
27
00:01:01,861 --> 00:01:05,565
That's pretty, pretty remarkable.
28
00:01:05,665 --> 00:01:10,570
lot of people celebrate their 252nd
29
00:01:10,670 --> 00:01:12,138
of
30
00:01:12,138 --> 00:01:13,907
What we just blew past 250.
31
00:01:13,907 --> 00:01:15,775
Like, Hey, we get
32
00:01:15,775 --> 00:01:17,911
yeah, we get we're heading to 500.
33
00:01:17,911 --> 00:01:19,345
We're going to be the
34
00:01:19,345 --> 00:01:22,082
we're going to be the Gunsmoke
35
00:01:22,182 --> 00:01:23,483
of podcasts.
36
00:01:23,483 --> 00:01:24,084
There you go.
37
00:01:24,084 --> 00:01:25,518
Well, yeah.
38
00:01:25,518 --> 00:01:27,921
The,
39
00:01:27,921 --> 00:01:29,889
the what you call it.
40
00:01:29,889 --> 00:01:31,124
We should be in reruns now.
41
00:01:31,124 --> 00:01:32,859
Actually we are, we do a couple of reruns
42
00:01:32,859 --> 00:01:33,159
It is.
43
00:01:33,159 --> 00:01:33,993
So you're on the.
44
00:01:33,993 --> 00:01:35,728
Air because we got pretty lazy.
45
00:01:35,728 --> 00:02:09,329
Yeah.
46
00:02:09,395 --> 00:02:33,920
Yeah,
47
00:02:33,987 --> 00:02:45,031
O Dairy covered Man.
48
00:02:45,131 --> 00:02:47,200
That is such
49
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,471
that it's such a flawed man thing.
50
00:02:51,571 --> 00:02:53,673
there are only a few people in the world
51
00:02:53,673 --> 00:02:56,176
saw that.
52
00:02:56,176 --> 00:02:57,010
Look at that.
53
00:02:57,010 --> 00:02:58,611
Eight cats in death.
54
00:02:58,611 --> 00:03:01,047
The cat's near death.
55
00:03:01,047 --> 00:03:03,550
What are the show?
56
00:03:03,550 --> 00:03:05,018
Who would do that right
57
00:03:05,018 --> 00:03:05,852
in front of the entry
58
00:03:05,852 --> 00:03:08,321
like that stupid swipe.
59
00:03:08,321 --> 00:03:13,259
And you got really the cat on it
60
00:03:13,359 --> 00:03:26,506
right?
61
00:03:26,573 --> 00:03:29,576
Yes.
62
00:03:29,609 --> 00:03:31,010
Yeah, They're better than us.
63
00:03:31,010 --> 00:03:32,478
They're better than me.
64
00:03:32,478 --> 00:03:45,024
Yeah, Yeah.
65
00:03:45,124 --> 00:05:10,943
yeah.
66
00:05:11,044 --> 00:05:11,744
quarter mile.
67
00:05:11,744 --> 00:05:20,320
Yeah.
68
00:05:20,386 --> 00:05:38,805
Yes.
69
00:05:38,871 --> 00:05:42,075
Yeah,
70
00:05:42,141 --> 00:05:47,113
yeah, yeah.
71
00:05:47,180 --> 00:05:48,648
Okay.
72
00:05:48,648 --> 00:05:51,351
Yeah, be that would be like, okay,
73
00:05:51,351 --> 00:05:54,754
that's not acceptable,
74
00:05:54,854 --> 00:05:56,556
Okay.
75
00:05:56,556 --> 00:05:58,791
is it? I Yeah.
76
00:05:58,791 --> 00:05:59,258
Yeah.
77
00:05:59,258 --> 00:06:00,893
So you should I think you should do.
78
00:06:00,893 --> 00:06:04,230
And instead of watching all these people
79
00:06:04,330 --> 00:06:06,699
and driving you insane, just,
80
00:06:06,699 --> 00:06:07,900
just walk down to the store
81
00:06:07,900 --> 00:06:10,069
and get a bag of nuts or something.
82
00:06:10,069 --> 00:06:11,571
Keep yourself busy.
83
00:06:11,571 --> 00:06:12,572
You don't see me.
84
00:06:12,572 --> 00:06:13,840
Stop looking
85
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:16,376
for everybody to piss you off.
86
00:06:16,376 --> 00:06:19,579
Just go get some nuts or something and
87
00:06:19,645 --> 00:06:22,281
or some hard candy to keep yourself busy,
88
00:06:22,281 --> 00:06:23,282
you know.
89
00:06:23,282 --> 00:06:23,816
Instead of.
90
00:06:23,816 --> 00:06:25,451
I like this guy's.
91
00:06:25,451 --> 00:06:27,887
Driving me crazy that guys drive.
92
00:06:27,887 --> 00:06:28,855
You look hard enough.
93
00:06:28,855 --> 00:06:30,189
You you'll be
94
00:06:30,189 --> 00:06:31,758
annoyed with everybody, man.
95
00:06:31,758 --> 00:06:33,092
Just traveling
96
00:06:33,092 --> 00:06:40,900
is tough enough on yourself.
97
00:06:40,967 --> 00:06:42,402
I am a great life.
98
00:06:42,402 --> 00:06:43,236
Good donut.
99
00:06:43,236 --> 00:06:44,504
I would be.
100
00:06:44,504 --> 00:06:47,039
I am a life coach.
101
00:06:47,039 --> 00:06:48,241
I'm coaching.
102
00:06:48,241 --> 00:06:50,843
I'm coaching like a dozen lives right now
103
00:06:50,843 --> 00:06:52,712
and not getting paid for any of it.
104
00:06:52,712 --> 00:06:54,480
But yeah,
105
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,349
go get some lifesavers or something
106
00:06:56,349 --> 00:06:59,118
next time you're feeling all pissed off
107
00:06:59,118 --> 00:07:00,253
because this woman is out there
108
00:07:00,253 --> 00:07:01,020
trying to walk
109
00:07:01,020 --> 00:07:01,654
because she's going to be
110
00:07:01,654 --> 00:07:10,129
cramped up for 2 hours.
111
00:07:10,229 --> 00:07:11,230
way more in better shape
112
00:07:11,230 --> 00:07:12,698
than her husband was.
113
00:07:12,698 --> 00:07:13,366
I just want to go.
114
00:07:13,366 --> 00:07:15,334
Just be honest with me.
115
00:07:15,334 --> 00:07:16,702
That's annoying as hell, right?
116
00:07:16,702 --> 00:07:18,337
What she's doing right now on.
117
00:07:18,337 --> 00:07:23,042
You know, that's annoying, right?
118
00:07:23,109 --> 00:07:25,445
Maybe I'll go get some
119
00:07:25,445 --> 00:07:27,914
That there you go.
120
00:07:27,914 --> 00:07:30,917
Well, Wayne, we have a special guest
121
00:07:31,083 --> 00:07:34,320
and this is part three of our ongoing
122
00:07:34,420 --> 00:07:37,790
mini series of education.
123
00:07:37,857 --> 00:07:39,459
This is the first on the floor
124
00:07:39,459 --> 00:07:40,493
mini series.
125
00:07:40,493 --> 00:07:43,329
Now we're in episode number.
126
00:07:43,329 --> 00:07:46,532
Today's guest is my one of my most
127
00:07:46,532 --> 00:07:49,068
dear friends here at Bona.
128
00:07:49,068 --> 00:07:50,770
He's joined the training team.
129
00:07:50,770 --> 00:07:52,138
DETMER How long you been on now?
130
00:07:52,138 --> 00:07:55,508
Two years.
131
00:07:55,575 --> 00:07:57,410
Two years
132
00:07:57,410 --> 00:07:58,878
since that
133
00:07:58,878 --> 00:08:00,646
Two years since that first trip
134
00:08:00,646 --> 00:08:02,815
you and I took to.
135
00:08:02,815 --> 00:08:04,417
I don't know where the hell it was.
136
00:08:04,417 --> 00:08:05,218
In November,
137
00:08:05,218 --> 00:08:07,286
we we landed in Memphis
138
00:08:07,286 --> 00:08:09,355
and then drove into the bowels of
139
00:08:09,355 --> 00:08:11,891
Mississippi or something.
140
00:08:11,958 --> 00:08:13,259
And at about
141
00:08:13,259 --> 00:08:18,464
2:00 in the morning.
142
00:08:18,564 --> 00:08:20,066
That's right.
143
00:08:20,066 --> 00:08:20,700
That's right.
144
00:08:20,700 --> 00:08:24,070
Well, we have Mike DETMER on today.
145
00:08:24,136 --> 00:08:24,871
Like I said.
146
00:08:24,871 --> 00:08:27,874
To part three of our Education series,
147
00:08:28,107 --> 00:08:30,910
and Mike has just
148
00:08:30,910 --> 00:08:33,145
taken training out a whole new door.
149
00:08:33,145 --> 00:08:33,880
I mean, I remember
150
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,848
when did our
151
00:08:35,848 --> 00:08:38,551
our first training with Mike,
152
00:08:38,551 --> 00:08:40,386
I think it was
153
00:08:40,386 --> 00:08:40,987
maybe a year
154
00:08:40,987 --> 00:08:42,288
and a half ago in New Jersey.
155
00:08:42,288 --> 00:08:43,356
And I said,
156
00:08:43,356 --> 00:08:46,792
I can't believe it, but Bona is now doing
157
00:08:46,859 --> 00:08:47,994
install schools.
158
00:08:47,994 --> 00:08:49,762
And it just
159
00:08:49,762 --> 00:08:52,498
I mean, it was tying
160
00:08:52,498 --> 00:08:53,366
with everything
161
00:08:53,366 --> 00:08:57,537
that Highlander's doing with his team.
162
00:08:57,603 --> 00:08:59,639
It just seemed like this is definitely
163
00:08:59,639 --> 00:09:01,240
the way that we have to go.
164
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,042
We had to start doing install schools
165
00:09:03,042 --> 00:09:05,278
and I. Know
166
00:09:05,278 --> 00:09:07,146
you could just hear the grumblings.
167
00:09:07,146 --> 00:09:09,849
I think in the industry is like, Great,
168
00:09:09,849 --> 00:09:12,852
now Bowen is going to do install schools.
169
00:09:13,085 --> 00:09:14,554
Is there going to be anything left
170
00:09:14,554 --> 00:09:15,488
for anybody else?
171
00:09:15,488 --> 00:09:16,589
And the answer is no.
172
00:09:16,589 --> 00:09:20,026
We're we're taking over everything. So
173
00:09:20,126 --> 00:09:20,960
so take it away.
174
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,062
Mike. Well, we.
175
00:09:23,062 --> 00:09:24,096
I think it's.
176
00:09:24,096 --> 00:09:26,599
It's turned it into an adhesive world.
177
00:09:26,599 --> 00:09:28,267
And I think that's kind of where
178
00:09:28,267 --> 00:09:28,634
where
179
00:09:28,634 --> 00:09:30,436
kind of where I kind of fit in
180
00:09:30,436 --> 00:09:32,405
that would be installed
181
00:09:32,405 --> 00:09:34,874
is anything on a slab,
182
00:09:34,874 --> 00:09:37,877
anything that wider than four inch
183
00:09:37,910 --> 00:09:39,245
It needs to be
184
00:09:39,245 --> 00:09:40,813
put down with the adhesive,
185
00:09:40,813 --> 00:09:42,748
whether it be glue, nail axes,
186
00:09:42,748 --> 00:09:46,852
a herringbone parquet, a regular parquet
187
00:09:46,953 --> 00:09:49,422
that's kind of kind of where I,
188
00:09:49,422 --> 00:09:50,289
I fill in it.
189
00:09:50,289 --> 00:09:52,625
And so typically we'll,
190
00:09:52,625 --> 00:09:55,595
we'll start out with this the basic
191
00:09:55,595 --> 00:09:57,763
glue down nail assist install
192
00:09:57,763 --> 00:09:59,865
and we'll kind of go over the
193
00:09:59,865 --> 00:10:04,737
guidelines on how to do that properly and
194
00:10:04,837 --> 00:10:06,472
making sure that your
195
00:10:06,472 --> 00:10:07,707
your insulation won't pass.
196
00:10:07,707 --> 00:10:08,841
And we say mustard.
197
00:10:08,841 --> 00:10:09,675
So you'll,
198
00:10:09,675 --> 00:10:09,976
you know,
199
00:10:09,976 --> 00:10:11,377
you won't have to worry about any
200
00:10:11,377 --> 00:10:14,347
that coming from our point of view.
201
00:10:14,347 --> 00:10:16,749
The 540 with our adhesive
202
00:10:16,749 --> 00:10:17,583
if you're not going
203
00:10:17,583 --> 00:10:18,684
to have any problems with
204
00:10:18,684 --> 00:10:19,318
just making sure
205
00:10:19,318 --> 00:10:20,820
you don't need the right way,
206
00:10:20,820 --> 00:10:22,288
just as far as the straight length,
207
00:10:22,288 --> 00:10:24,857
the blue nails. And then
208
00:10:24,957 --> 00:10:26,459
from there, we kind of
209
00:10:26,459 --> 00:10:30,029
big into a herringbone layout.
210
00:10:30,129 --> 00:10:34,200
Hey, I got to stop you for one second
211
00:10:34,266 --> 00:10:35,901
because I know Wayne.
212
00:10:35,901 --> 00:10:37,503
Wayne is still here and.
213
00:10:37,503 --> 00:10:39,505
Dove fly right now.
214
00:10:39,505 --> 00:10:40,973
When you said.
215
00:10:40,973 --> 00:10:43,075
Well, it's turned into an adhesive world,
216
00:10:43,075 --> 00:10:43,743
Look at that.
217
00:10:43,743 --> 00:10:44,143
Look,
218
00:10:44,143 --> 00:10:45,711
I haven't seen him smile
219
00:10:45,711 --> 00:10:47,246
like he's smiling right now.
220
00:10:47,246 --> 00:10:50,249
Mike, I just wish you could see him.
221
00:10:50,483 --> 00:10:51,050
It's an it.
222
00:10:51,050 --> 00:10:52,318
He's of world,
223
00:10:52,318 --> 00:10:56,656
and Highlander is right in the middle of.
224
00:10:56,756 --> 00:10:58,424
He's just so happy.
225
00:10:58,424 --> 00:10:59,959
I am.
226
00:10:59,959 --> 00:11:00,660
So.
227
00:11:00,660 --> 00:11:03,362
Well, I could be annoyed at the airport.
228
00:11:03,362 --> 00:11:47,139
I'm easily
229
00:11:47,206 --> 00:11:50,776
A
230
00:11:50,876 --> 00:11:52,411
You know, Kareen,
231
00:11:52,411 --> 00:11:54,013
we had Kareen on
232
00:11:54,013 --> 00:11:57,383
and he was talking about his schools
233
00:11:57,483 --> 00:11:58,284
and he said, you know,
234
00:11:58,284 --> 00:12:00,386
one of the things I love about.
235
00:12:00,386 --> 00:12:00,920
The schools.
236
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,589
That I do is it's really hands. On.
237
00:12:03,589 --> 00:12:04,290
He goes, you know,
238
00:12:04,290 --> 00:12:05,958
we're not watching a lot of videos.
239
00:12:05,958 --> 00:12:08,027
And PowerPoints and stuff like that.
240
00:12:08,027 --> 00:12:10,396
He goes, it's it's hands on.
241
00:12:10,396 --> 00:12:14,266
And when I was thinking about
242
00:12:14,366 --> 00:12:15,701
you, Mike,
243
00:12:15,701 --> 00:12:17,336
I remember when we did that
244
00:12:17,336 --> 00:12:21,107
Herringbone layout school in New Jersey,
245
00:12:21,207 --> 00:12:23,075
and Mike had the treadmill pointed out.
246
00:12:23,075 --> 00:12:26,278
Wayne And he's showing everybody on the
247
00:12:26,312 --> 00:12:27,446
on the main
248
00:12:27,446 --> 00:12:29,348
how we're going to lay this out
249
00:12:29,348 --> 00:12:29,815
and everything.
250
00:12:29,815 --> 00:12:31,317
He got all the lines laid out.
251
00:12:31,317 --> 00:12:33,719
He's all done.
252
00:12:33,719 --> 00:12:34,420
And I thought,
253
00:12:34,420 --> 00:12:35,187
okay, well,
254
00:12:35,187 --> 00:12:36,689
we're going to start laying now.
255
00:12:36,689 --> 00:12:38,357
No, not Mike.
256
00:12:38,357 --> 00:12:39,525
He had a power drive
257
00:12:39,525 --> 00:12:42,895
and erased all his lines.
258
00:12:42,962 --> 00:12:44,430
So you want to talk?
259
00:12:44,430 --> 00:12:46,232
Hands on
260
00:12:46,232 --> 00:12:47,733
that. Hands on.
261
00:12:47,733 --> 00:12:49,602
Now, Mike stood up
262
00:12:49,602 --> 00:12:51,971
and he's like, okay, now you guys do it.
263
00:12:51,971 --> 00:12:53,339
You saw I did it.
264
00:12:53,339 --> 00:12:55,241
I thought it was great.
265
00:12:55,241 --> 00:12:56,909
So I was like, What the hell is he doing?
266
00:12:56,909 --> 00:12:57,143
I thought,
267
00:12:57,143 --> 00:12:58,844
We're going to start laying now.
268
00:12:58,844 --> 00:13:00,946
I was like, okay, now I get it.
269
00:13:00,946 --> 00:13:03,582
Now I see the method, his magic or
270
00:13:03,582 --> 00:13:45,558
the magic to his method.
271
00:13:45,624 --> 00:13:47,626
It does it kind of showcases
272
00:13:47,626 --> 00:13:51,197
all of the products in our system
273
00:13:51,263 --> 00:13:53,566
besides, besides talking about how
274
00:13:53,566 --> 00:13:55,568
to install a herringbone floor.
275
00:13:55,568 --> 00:13:56,602
Well, we'll,
276
00:13:56,602 --> 00:13:58,604
we'll talk about other scenarios
277
00:13:58,604 --> 00:14:01,574
like how big the herringbone pattern
278
00:14:01,574 --> 00:14:02,074
should be.
279
00:14:02,074 --> 00:14:02,374
I mean,
280
00:14:02,374 --> 00:14:05,978
should it be a three by 16, a three by 21
281
00:14:05,978 --> 00:14:10,082
or a four by 14 in which direction?
282
00:14:10,082 --> 00:14:11,483
So the hearing going go into
283
00:14:11,483 --> 00:14:12,084
and we'll
284
00:14:12,084 --> 00:14:13,953
we'll go through the different
285
00:14:13,953 --> 00:14:16,088
scenarios that no contract
286
00:14:16,088 --> 00:14:17,056
is going to have to have
287
00:14:17,056 --> 00:14:18,290
with the customer.
288
00:14:18,290 --> 00:14:18,490
You know,
289
00:14:18,490 --> 00:14:19,592
the customer calls the up
290
00:14:19,592 --> 00:14:21,527
and they've seen a couple magazine
291
00:14:21,527 --> 00:14:23,295
pictures of herringbone floor
292
00:14:23,295 --> 00:14:23,796
and they you know,
293
00:14:23,796 --> 00:14:24,830
they just want a herringbone
294
00:14:24,830 --> 00:14:25,965
for their dining room
295
00:14:25,965 --> 00:14:28,868
and they don't know what species
296
00:14:28,868 --> 00:14:29,935
it should be
297
00:14:29,935 --> 00:14:31,237
or which direction
298
00:14:31,237 --> 00:14:32,171
it should run
299
00:14:32,171 --> 00:14:33,839
or how big the ticket should be.
300
00:14:33,839 --> 00:14:35,574
And they're relying
301
00:14:35,574 --> 00:14:37,076
upon you to be the expert.
302
00:14:37,076 --> 00:14:39,912
And so it's it's
303
00:14:39,912 --> 00:14:41,146
building up their confidence
304
00:14:41,146 --> 00:14:42,414
in the contractor
305
00:14:42,414 --> 00:14:44,984
that they are the expert and, hey,
306
00:14:44,984 --> 00:14:46,919
this room is running long ways.
307
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:47,720
The herringbone pick.
308
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,488
It should go towards that
309
00:14:49,488 --> 00:14:53,092
big screen TV or that beautiful fireplace
310
00:14:53,158 --> 00:14:55,628
or to that beautiful view over the lake.
311
00:14:55,628 --> 00:14:57,062
And so it's about
312
00:14:57,062 --> 00:14:58,864
educating the contractor on
313
00:14:58,864 --> 00:15:00,466
on having that conversation
314
00:15:00,466 --> 00:15:05,104
with the homeowner to make sure that they
315
00:15:05,170 --> 00:15:10,776
have the presentation down to
316
00:15:10,876 --> 00:15:11,243
Yeah.
317
00:15:11,243 --> 00:15:13,012
And I know you talk about this, Mike,
318
00:15:13,012 --> 00:15:14,213
where some people say, okay,
319
00:15:14,213 --> 00:15:15,614
well I'm going to put a five inch border
320
00:15:15,614 --> 00:15:16,949
around this whole thing.
321
00:15:16,949 --> 00:15:18,050
But when you
322
00:15:18,050 --> 00:15:19,451
when lay it out ahead of time
323
00:15:19,451 --> 00:15:20,886
where you do some thinking and planning
324
00:15:20,886 --> 00:15:22,288
and you realize that maybe five inch
325
00:15:22,288 --> 00:15:23,155
isn't the way to go,
326
00:15:23,155 --> 00:15:24,089
maybe it makes more sense
327
00:15:24,089 --> 00:15:25,958
to go to a six inch or four inch
328
00:15:25,958 --> 00:15:26,859
just just painting.
329
00:15:26,859 --> 00:15:32,131
On how it lays out or making those
330
00:15:32,197 --> 00:15:33,299
or making those last pick
331
00:15:33,299 --> 00:15:34,199
gets a little bit longer.
332
00:15:34,199 --> 00:15:35,634
Just customize the last one by
333
00:15:35,634 --> 00:15:37,102
and by an inch and a half or so.
334
00:15:37,102 --> 00:15:38,637
That won't be noticeable
335
00:15:38,637 --> 00:15:40,139
rather than having a small piece.
336
00:15:40,139 --> 00:15:41,974
And there's a lot to talk about.
337
00:15:41,974 --> 00:15:42,541
A lot of things
338
00:15:42,541 --> 00:15:43,809
go into these things and that
339
00:15:43,809 --> 00:15:46,045
and you know, you can get into
340
00:15:46,045 --> 00:15:46,912
your labor costs
341
00:15:46,912 --> 00:15:48,113
for doing a custom floor
342
00:15:48,113 --> 00:15:48,747
like because these are
343
00:15:48,747 --> 00:15:51,984
highly custom floors, very time consuming
344
00:15:51,984 --> 00:15:53,452
custom floors, but
345
00:15:53,452 --> 00:15:56,755
especially with the recent. Today.
346
00:15:56,822 --> 00:15:58,157
And the techniques
347
00:15:58,157 --> 00:16:01,593
that you guys go over, I think managers
348
00:16:01,660 --> 00:16:06,165
can't miss for the school.
349
00:16:06,265 --> 00:16:08,634
No, I think all the students are
350
00:16:08,634 --> 00:16:09,234
when they leave,
351
00:16:09,234 --> 00:16:10,669
they're they're very appreciative
352
00:16:10,669 --> 00:16:12,304
of what they've learned
353
00:16:12,304 --> 00:16:13,973
and what we present to them.
354
00:16:13,973 --> 00:16:14,606
So they you know,
355
00:16:14,606 --> 00:16:16,842
they have the confidence to sell the job.
356
00:16:16,842 --> 00:16:19,845
They have the confidence to do the job.
357
00:16:20,045 --> 00:16:21,914
Yep.
358
00:16:21,914 --> 00:16:23,382
So, Wayne, tell us
359
00:16:23,382 --> 00:16:25,050
about what highlight
360
00:16:25,050 --> 00:16:26,885
what adhesives going to highlight at.
361
00:16:26,885 --> 00:16:28,754
All these schools.
362
00:16:28,754 --> 00:16:29,154
Well, I.
363
00:16:29,154 --> 00:16:30,856
Mean, you know,
364
00:16:30,856 --> 00:16:32,424
obviously it's going to be bone a floor.
365
00:16:32,424 --> 00:16:37,730
It's going to be the 851
366
00:16:37,796 --> 00:16:38,897
But I think you also
367
00:16:38,897 --> 00:16:40,399
we can show the vertical
368
00:16:40,399 --> 00:16:43,002
for your starters.
369
00:16:43,002 --> 00:16:45,504
We can show the 544
370
00:16:45,504 --> 00:16:47,306
the mitigation system.
371
00:16:47,306 --> 00:16:49,375
I mean, we can just tie.
372
00:16:49,375 --> 00:16:51,410
All sorts of things up with that,
373
00:16:51,410 --> 00:16:52,344
with, with.
374
00:16:52,344 --> 00:16:55,381
Just about all of your. Products.
375
00:16:55,481 --> 00:16:56,915
play And then
376
00:16:56,915 --> 00:16:58,584
you talk about the, the,
377
00:16:58,584 --> 00:16:59,585
some of the track saws
378
00:16:59,585 --> 00:17:01,987
and that kind of stuff and
379
00:17:01,987 --> 00:17:03,188
how that can that, can help
380
00:17:03,188 --> 00:17:04,223
in any planning,
381
00:17:04,223 --> 00:17:05,657
the putting of borders,
382
00:17:05,657 --> 00:17:07,126
planning everything.
383
00:17:07,126 --> 00:17:08,560
I think all that you know, it's
384
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,496
one thing to talk about it and lay it out
385
00:17:10,496 --> 00:17:12,264
and look at it or read about it,
386
00:17:12,264 --> 00:17:13,699
but get your hands on it
387
00:17:13,699 --> 00:17:14,933
and get on your hands and knees
388
00:17:14,933 --> 00:17:16,535
and actually do it.
389
00:17:16,535 --> 00:17:18,303
And where you come across
390
00:17:18,303 --> 00:17:20,205
some of the challenges,
391
00:17:20,205 --> 00:17:21,507
then it puts a whole different
392
00:17:21,507 --> 00:17:22,808
paint job it
393
00:17:22,808 --> 00:17:24,510
and then when you leave there
394
00:17:24,510 --> 00:17:25,577
and most of us
395
00:17:25,577 --> 00:17:26,245
know, most of us
396
00:17:26,245 --> 00:17:28,380
learn by actually doing it right.
397
00:17:28,380 --> 00:17:31,583
I'm a visual guy and whatever, but
398
00:17:31,650 --> 00:17:32,885
if I get put my hands on it
399
00:17:32,885 --> 00:17:34,453
and do it a little bit or whatever,
400
00:17:34,453 --> 00:17:35,954
and then it always clicks with me
401
00:17:35,954 --> 00:17:38,257
and then I can take that to my next job.
402
00:17:38,257 --> 00:17:41,260
But if I read about it in a in,
403
00:17:41,393 --> 00:17:42,594
you know, and try to,
404
00:17:42,594 --> 00:17:43,028
you know,
405
00:17:43,028 --> 00:17:44,563
get it off reading it,
406
00:17:44,563 --> 00:17:46,732
sometimes it's much more difficult.
407
00:17:46,732 --> 00:17:48,333
So, yeah,
408
00:17:48,333 --> 00:17:49,334
we're doing these classes
409
00:17:49,334 --> 00:17:50,669
across the country you
410
00:17:50,669 --> 00:17:52,004
I know we have a few coming up.
411
00:17:52,004 --> 00:17:53,172
We'll be doing one in Texas
412
00:17:53,172 --> 00:17:54,440
here and a couple other places
413
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,009
across the country in California.
414
00:17:57,009 --> 00:17:57,609
if you're interested
415
00:17:57,609 --> 00:17:58,510
in going to one of these classes,
416
00:17:58,510 --> 00:18:00,279
you certainly get a hold of me or Rob
417
00:18:00,279 --> 00:18:03,082
or Mike or one of your territory manager
418
00:18:03,082 --> 00:18:05,851
and love to have you on board for it.
419
00:18:05,851 --> 00:18:07,653
Mike, while you're there,
420
00:18:07,653 --> 00:18:09,021
people have questions
421
00:18:09,021 --> 00:18:10,989
about other pattern flaws.
422
00:18:10,989 --> 00:18:12,558
Can you get into some of those
423
00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:13,158
I talk about?
424
00:18:13,158 --> 00:18:14,193
Those are like a route
425
00:18:14,193 --> 00:18:15,694
round pattern, floor or basket.
426
00:18:15,694 --> 00:18:20,032
We even talk about.
427
00:18:20,132 --> 00:18:21,300
we'll start.
428
00:18:21,300 --> 00:18:22,301
It is a herringbone
429
00:18:22,301 --> 00:18:23,836
because that's kind of a
430
00:18:23,836 --> 00:18:24,803
I don't know, it's
431
00:18:24,803 --> 00:18:27,172
kind of a generic thing to start with.
432
00:18:27,172 --> 00:18:29,741
And you can go to both distributors
433
00:18:29,741 --> 00:18:30,943
and buy herringbone
434
00:18:30,943 --> 00:18:33,011
it right off the shelf.
435
00:18:33,011 --> 00:18:34,780
And so it's kind of a good intro.
436
00:18:34,780 --> 00:18:37,349
And then we'll we'll go into
437
00:18:37,349 --> 00:18:38,884
how to make a Rams pattern,
438
00:18:38,884 --> 00:18:39,751
how to make a
439
00:18:39,751 --> 00:18:41,153
Monticello pattern,
440
00:18:41,153 --> 00:18:43,622
or even how to make a heading pattern.
441
00:18:43,622 --> 00:18:47,126
And it will show the guys of how to
442
00:18:47,226 --> 00:18:49,461
build a jig to go on the table.
443
00:18:49,461 --> 00:18:52,131
So to do repetitive pieces
444
00:18:52,131 --> 00:18:53,432
to make the own herringbone
445
00:18:53,432 --> 00:18:54,633
say they have.
446
00:18:54,633 --> 00:18:55,367
I don't know
447
00:18:55,367 --> 00:18:56,301
if they had a customer
448
00:18:56,301 --> 00:18:57,536
that just wanted to
449
00:18:57,536 --> 00:18:59,004
look for the select red floor,
450
00:18:59,004 --> 00:18:59,905
but they did want
451
00:18:59,905 --> 00:19:01,840
any board under three foot
452
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,376
long installed in their floor
453
00:19:04,476 --> 00:19:04,910
until the
454
00:19:04,910 --> 00:19:06,845
contractors left with
455
00:19:06,845 --> 00:19:09,148
four or 500 feet of shorts.
456
00:19:09,148 --> 00:19:11,650
So it's like, well, we'll show them jigs
457
00:19:11,650 --> 00:19:13,418
they can put on the table side jigs,
458
00:19:13,418 --> 00:19:14,620
they could put the miter saw
459
00:19:14,620 --> 00:19:15,821
that they can build,
460
00:19:15,821 --> 00:19:16,822
that they can
461
00:19:16,822 --> 00:19:18,991
make parquet patterns out of it.
462
00:19:18,991 --> 00:19:21,627
And it might be something where you say,
463
00:19:21,627 --> 00:19:23,162
that's a pretty cool batter.
464
00:19:23,162 --> 00:19:25,564
Well, let me make 100 of batteries
465
00:19:25,564 --> 00:19:26,965
and put it in the warehouse
466
00:19:26,965 --> 00:19:28,800
or put it in the corner of the shop
467
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,235
and throw one of the truck
468
00:19:30,235 --> 00:19:32,004
finished as a sample.
469
00:19:32,004 --> 00:19:34,306
So then when you go on that estimate
470
00:19:34,306 --> 00:19:35,741
and you know,
471
00:19:35,741 --> 00:19:37,209
the customer is hemming and hawing
472
00:19:37,209 --> 00:19:39,478
whether they want to pick you or or,
473
00:19:39,478 --> 00:19:40,212
you know,
474
00:19:40,212 --> 00:19:42,648
what are times for service,
475
00:19:42,648 --> 00:19:44,616
you can bring parquet and say,
476
00:19:44,616 --> 00:19:46,952
Hey, you know what? We could drop off
477
00:19:47,019 --> 00:19:47,452
an eight
478
00:19:47,452 --> 00:19:48,420
by eight parquet
479
00:19:48,420 --> 00:19:49,087
log in the middle
480
00:19:49,087 --> 00:19:50,556
of your four year hearing.
481
00:19:50,556 --> 00:19:51,056
And you know what?
482
00:19:51,056 --> 00:19:52,024
If you do the whole job,
483
00:19:52,024 --> 00:19:54,660
I'll just give you that part.
484
00:19:54,660 --> 00:19:56,061
Yeah.
485
00:19:56,061 --> 00:19:56,595
Good, good.
486
00:19:56,595 --> 00:19:57,930
Good point. Especially. Yeah.
487
00:19:57,930 --> 00:19:58,764
You're a lot of your
488
00:19:58,764 --> 00:20:00,399
I seen a guy do a flurry other day
489
00:20:00,399 --> 00:20:02,100
that was all leftovers
490
00:20:02,100 --> 00:20:02,935
and it's beautiful,
491
00:20:02,935 --> 00:20:03,902
it was just beautiful.
492
00:20:03,902 --> 00:20:04,836
It was all leftover
493
00:20:04,836 --> 00:20:05,737
material So he's not
494
00:20:05,737 --> 00:20:07,105
you're not having to pay for the material
495
00:20:07,105 --> 00:20:09,241
on, on the job.
496
00:20:09,241 --> 00:20:12,010
What are some mistakes that you see
497
00:20:12,010 --> 00:20:16,582
guys use doing Mike on Herringbone.
498
00:20:16,682 --> 00:20:19,284
probably say the first mistake
499
00:20:19,284 --> 00:20:20,185
and this happened
500
00:20:20,185 --> 00:20:22,955
when we did a school in Toronto about
501
00:20:22,955 --> 00:20:25,290
a month or so back, is
502
00:20:25,290 --> 00:20:28,060
we'll get too many guys involved in it
503
00:20:28,060 --> 00:20:31,930
doing the center lines in the starting.
504
00:20:31,997 --> 00:20:32,464
It should be
505
00:20:32,464 --> 00:20:35,467
one guy and one tape measure
506
00:20:35,701 --> 00:20:38,403
marks the lines to start the hearing down
507
00:20:38,403 --> 00:20:41,406
in the middle of the floor.
508
00:20:41,506 --> 00:20:43,475
Each year, each state measure
509
00:20:43,475 --> 00:20:46,278
noses a little bit differently.
510
00:20:46,278 --> 00:20:48,247
And if you get
511
00:20:48,247 --> 00:20:50,782
two or three guys involved determining
512
00:20:50,782 --> 00:20:51,917
what the central point
513
00:20:51,917 --> 00:20:54,920
is of that parquet pattern,
514
00:20:55,053 --> 00:20:57,189
one guy might see five six,
515
00:20:57,189 --> 00:20:58,390
the other guy might see
516
00:20:58,390 --> 00:21:00,459
5/8 on a state measure,
517
00:21:00,459 --> 00:21:01,760
and then they
518
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,228
divide that in half
519
00:21:03,228 --> 00:21:05,430
and then they drop that line
520
00:21:05,430 --> 00:21:06,732
and it's only off,
521
00:21:06,732 --> 00:21:07,032
you know,
522
00:21:07,032 --> 00:21:08,867
maybe on that length of six foot,
523
00:21:08,867 --> 00:21:11,270
it's only off 3/8 of an inch.
524
00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:14,273
But then one, two multiplied by
525
00:21:14,306 --> 00:21:17,676
I don't know if the room is 14 foot wide.
526
00:21:17,743 --> 00:21:19,978
Now your tickets could be off an inch
527
00:21:19,978 --> 00:21:22,748
into the half in the left to the right.
528
00:21:22,814 --> 00:21:35,761
Yeah.
529
00:21:35,861 --> 00:21:37,629
So I'll tell you a real quick story.
530
00:21:37,629 --> 00:21:39,564
You're honest Boonstra
531
00:21:39,564 --> 00:21:40,165
I think that's how
532
00:21:40,165 --> 00:21:41,400
you pronounce the last.
533
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,735
We're we get along really well.
534
00:21:43,735 --> 00:21:44,169
We talk.
535
00:21:44,169 --> 00:21:45,070
He's a competitor of ours,
536
00:21:45,070 --> 00:21:46,338
but he's, he's a great guy.
537
00:21:46,338 --> 00:21:48,040
And, you know, I respect him.
538
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,742
And we were in a class one time.
539
00:21:50,742 --> 00:21:53,512
And you know your point, Mike,
540
00:21:53,512 --> 00:21:55,180
about several people
541
00:21:55,180 --> 00:21:56,581
making the measurements.
542
00:21:56,581 --> 00:21:56,815
You know,
543
00:21:56,815 --> 00:21:58,150
you got five guys here and different
544
00:21:58,150 --> 00:21:59,284
guys are measuring different things
545
00:21:59,284 --> 00:21:59,685
and whatever.
546
00:21:59,685 --> 00:22:02,487
Any snap line and then get real loud.
547
00:22:02,487 --> 00:22:03,989
And then it was lunchtime
548
00:22:03,989 --> 00:22:04,389
when I
549
00:22:04,389 --> 00:22:04,823
when I
550
00:22:04,823 --> 00:22:05,924
checked the tape measure,
551
00:22:05,924 --> 00:22:07,225
it was like an inch and half off
552
00:22:07,225 --> 00:22:08,660
from one side to the other.
553
00:22:08,660 --> 00:22:11,663
And me and, and your eyes were looking at
554
00:22:11,863 --> 00:22:13,332
and you go, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
555
00:22:13,332 --> 00:22:15,133
That's a, it's a, it's off isn't it.
556
00:22:15,133 --> 00:22:16,268
Yeah.
557
00:22:16,268 --> 00:22:16,868
Because I asked,
558
00:22:16,868 --> 00:22:17,202
you know
559
00:22:17,202 --> 00:22:18,837
what we're going to do about that now.
560
00:22:18,837 --> 00:22:20,172
So we're scratching our head.
561
00:22:20,172 --> 00:22:22,374
It was lunch time. I sit here no problem.
562
00:22:22,374 --> 00:22:23,442
So I took a screw gun
563
00:22:23,442 --> 00:22:24,710
and I screwed the wall
564
00:22:24,710 --> 00:22:25,644
with a wall and an inch
565
00:22:25,644 --> 00:22:36,421
and a half on that side.
566
00:22:36,521 --> 00:22:37,889
That's what my son calls us.
567
00:22:37,889 --> 00:22:38,657
Panel Kings.
568
00:22:38,657 --> 00:22:39,658
Now your panel.
569
00:22:39,658 --> 00:22:43,528
Kings,
570
00:22:43,628 --> 00:22:44,196
Panel.
571
00:22:44,196 --> 00:22:44,863
KING.
572
00:22:44,863 --> 00:22:45,964
You know, Mike,
573
00:22:45,964 --> 00:22:46,865
you're really turned
574
00:22:46,865 --> 00:22:48,166
into a thorn in my side.
575
00:22:48,166 --> 00:22:50,335
I mean,
576
00:22:50,335 --> 00:22:52,304
I love that you're the team.
577
00:22:52,304 --> 00:22:54,673
You just brought
578
00:22:54,673 --> 00:22:57,409
the best free agent signing ever.
579
00:22:57,409 --> 00:22:59,311
I said today.
580
00:22:59,311 --> 00:23:01,480
You just completely opened up training
581
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:02,447
to a whole new world.
582
00:23:02,447 --> 00:23:04,816
But you're making my life miserable.
583
00:23:04,816 --> 00:23:05,984
Okay.
584
00:23:05,984 --> 00:23:08,387
I've got guys now Who?
585
00:23:08,387 --> 00:23:09,688
Because he mentioned Toronto,
586
00:23:09,688 --> 00:23:13,091
so I got to go to Toronto.
587
00:23:13,158 --> 00:23:13,692
I got two guys
588
00:23:13,692 --> 00:23:14,693
who have never
589
00:23:14,693 --> 00:23:17,229
ran a machine in their life,
590
00:23:17,229 --> 00:23:19,431
half a dozen at the school.
591
00:23:19,431 --> 00:23:21,366
And we're walking into Mike's
592
00:23:21,366 --> 00:23:25,137
beautiful Chevron patterns and parquet
593
00:23:25,137 --> 00:23:29,708
panels and Herringbone
594
00:23:29,775 --> 00:23:30,208
laces.
595
00:23:30,208 --> 00:23:32,477
You guys are really learning real.
596
00:23:32,477 --> 00:23:33,512
World stuff now.
597
00:23:33,512 --> 00:23:34,346
Okay.
598
00:23:34,346 --> 00:23:35,547
We're not starting with straight
599
00:23:35,547 --> 00:23:37,616
laced stuff for you guys. This is.
600
00:23:37,616 --> 00:23:38,683
This is the real world.
601
00:23:38,683 --> 00:23:40,919
So get your act together.
602
00:23:40,919 --> 00:23:43,755
But the worst part is the kid up there.
603
00:23:43,755 --> 00:23:44,656
Darren Webb.
604
00:23:44,656 --> 00:23:46,224
Awesome. Awesome kid.
605
00:23:46,224 --> 00:23:49,261
Love working with this guy. Okay.
606
00:23:49,361 --> 00:23:52,097
But all he talked about
607
00:23:52,097 --> 00:23:55,133
was how nice Mike is, how Mike doesn't
608
00:23:55,133 --> 00:23:56,668
yell at him,
609
00:23:56,668 --> 00:23:59,471
how Mike doesn't make him feel bad,
610
00:23:59,471 --> 00:24:01,106
how he the whole time
611
00:24:01,106 --> 00:24:02,007
he was waiting for Mike
612
00:24:02,007 --> 00:24:03,275
to start yelling or,
613
00:24:03,275 --> 00:24:05,377
you know, trashing him or something.
614
00:24:05,377 --> 00:24:06,211
And he's like, he's
615
00:24:06,211 --> 00:24:09,347
just so much nicer than you.
616
00:24:09,581 --> 00:24:11,583
He goes, I just didn't know what to do.
617
00:24:11,583 --> 00:24:12,417
I didn't.
618
00:24:12,417 --> 00:24:13,351
He goes, I thought,
619
00:24:13,351 --> 00:24:15,020
I just kept waiting for it to happen,
620
00:24:15,020 --> 00:24:17,189
but it never did.
621
00:24:17,189 --> 00:24:18,190
I'm like, Yeah, well,
622
00:24:18,190 --> 00:24:20,592
he's from he's from the Midwest.
623
00:24:20,592 --> 00:24:23,261
So
624
00:24:23,261 --> 00:24:26,631
yeah.
625
00:24:26,731 --> 00:24:27,232
I.
626
00:24:27,232 --> 00:24:29,267
I called Mike now
627
00:24:29,267 --> 00:24:30,502
because we're going to do a hearing
628
00:24:30,502 --> 00:24:30,969
bull class.
629
00:24:30,969 --> 00:24:31,970
I may have been the first one
630
00:24:31,970 --> 00:24:32,471
or whatever.
631
00:24:32,471 --> 00:24:34,206
And I say, Mike,
632
00:24:34,206 --> 00:24:34,806
listen, I know
633
00:24:34,806 --> 00:24:35,440
this is your deal
634
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:36,007
and you can tell me
635
00:24:36,007 --> 00:24:36,942
to get back in my lane,
636
00:24:36,942 --> 00:24:38,810
but you know what I'm thinking of?
637
00:24:38,810 --> 00:24:40,212
Maybe you can also show the guys
638
00:24:40,212 --> 00:24:41,112
how to make your own.
639
00:24:41,112 --> 00:24:44,115
Homemade tracks are on site.
640
00:24:44,282 --> 00:24:47,619
You don't have a festival. And you said,
641
00:24:47,686 --> 00:24:48,286
Yeah, get back
642
00:24:48,286 --> 00:25:00,765
in your lane.
643
00:25:00,832 --> 00:25:01,500
no way.
644
00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:03,368
I just in those words,
645
00:25:03,368 --> 00:25:04,936
in order to do quality,
646
00:25:04,936 --> 00:25:06,071
you need quality equipment
647
00:25:06,071 --> 00:25:08,640
to do quality job. That's that.
648
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:09,641
Now, you're right.
649
00:25:09,641 --> 00:25:10,442
I was. I was.
650
00:25:10,442 --> 00:25:12,043
It was out of my lane.
651
00:25:12,043 --> 00:25:13,211
So.
652
00:25:13,211 --> 00:25:14,446
Somebody told
653
00:25:14,446 --> 00:25:15,614
somebody told Wayne
654
00:25:15,614 --> 00:25:17,282
to get back in his lane.
655
00:25:17,282 --> 00:25:20,585
Yeah, yeah,
656
00:25:20,652 --> 00:25:22,521
I guess that's how you floor
657
00:25:22,521 --> 00:25:26,191
the year guys can talk to each other.
658
00:25:26,291 --> 00:25:27,259
You hear?
659
00:25:27,259 --> 00:25:28,527
You hear that? Okay, listen.
660
00:25:28,527 --> 00:25:30,462
You hear it?
661
00:25:30,462 --> 00:25:32,197
Yeah. There it is.
662
00:25:32,197 --> 00:25:35,433
Yeah. That.
663
00:25:35,500 --> 00:25:36,401
Mike,
664
00:25:36,401 --> 00:25:38,537
do you also talk about
665
00:25:38,537 --> 00:25:40,539
the amount of time and labor?
666
00:25:40,539 --> 00:25:42,040
And so I know we can't,
667
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,108
nor do we want to tell people
668
00:25:43,108 --> 00:25:44,843
what to charge for doing their work,
669
00:25:44,843 --> 00:25:45,610
But maybe
670
00:25:45,610 --> 00:25:46,811
do you go into that a little bit
671
00:25:46,811 --> 00:25:47,812
about the amount of time
672
00:25:47,812 --> 00:25:51,550
it takes to do these jobs and, and,
673
00:25:51,650 --> 00:25:52,851
and logistics and building
674
00:25:52,851 --> 00:25:55,854
these jobs in your classes classes?
675
00:25:55,954 --> 00:25:56,855
will. I will.
676
00:25:56,855 --> 00:25:59,491
I'll go on, I'll discuss.
677
00:25:59,491 --> 00:26:00,058
You know that.
678
00:26:00,058 --> 00:26:02,193
Hey, you need to figure out like,
679
00:26:02,193 --> 00:26:03,495
for example, I had a gentleman
680
00:26:03,495 --> 00:26:05,297
call me just last week,
681
00:26:05,297 --> 00:26:05,530
a couple
682
00:26:05,530 --> 00:26:05,997
days ago,
683
00:26:05,997 --> 00:26:07,265
about how to beat a job
684
00:26:07,265 --> 00:26:09,401
or the job he's never done before.
685
00:26:09,401 --> 00:26:10,302
And I'm like,
686
00:26:10,302 --> 00:26:12,837
I'm like, You got to figure out what you
687
00:26:12,837 --> 00:26:14,072
what you need to make
688
00:26:14,072 --> 00:26:15,473
for you and your employees,
689
00:26:15,473 --> 00:26:17,042
whether it be two or three guys,
690
00:26:17,042 --> 00:26:19,144
what you need to make for a day
691
00:26:19,144 --> 00:26:20,779
and what you want
692
00:26:20,779 --> 00:26:22,948
is your profit for that job in
693
00:26:22,948 --> 00:26:23,882
how many days it's
694
00:26:23,882 --> 00:26:25,083
going to take you to do it.
695
00:26:25,083 --> 00:26:26,918
Then you need to take
696
00:26:26,918 --> 00:26:30,589
all those things into consideration
697
00:26:30,655 --> 00:26:34,392
when you're doing and pricing out
698
00:26:34,459 --> 00:26:35,160
any type of a
699
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:35,961
parquet floor,
700
00:26:35,961 --> 00:26:37,862
because it's not like a wham, bam,
701
00:26:37,862 --> 00:26:38,930
thank you ma'am job.
702
00:26:38,930 --> 00:26:41,232
It's it's we're taking our time
703
00:26:41,232 --> 00:26:42,267
we're cutting borders out.
704
00:26:42,267 --> 00:26:43,902
We're going to
705
00:26:43,902 --> 00:26:45,103
spend a lot of extra time,
706
00:26:45,103 --> 00:26:47,405
a lot more time than a straight leg
707
00:26:47,405 --> 00:26:50,408
during a sanding process.
708
00:26:50,442 --> 00:26:52,510
We might try to fill that for twice
709
00:26:52,510 --> 00:26:53,612
because, you know,
710
00:26:53,612 --> 00:26:54,679
it's a it's
711
00:26:54,679 --> 00:26:56,214
going to cost double
712
00:26:56,214 --> 00:26:58,083
or triple that of a straight lay.
713
00:26:58,083 --> 00:27:01,086
So the customer's expectations
714
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:02,954
going to go up that much higher.
715
00:27:02,954 --> 00:27:03,622
They're going to
716
00:27:03,622 --> 00:27:04,856
they're going to want a table top
717
00:27:04,856 --> 00:27:05,890
finish on that floor.
718
00:27:05,890 --> 00:27:06,591
So there
719
00:27:06,591 --> 00:27:08,760
there's not as much room for error
720
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,595
or acceptability of errors
721
00:27:10,595 --> 00:27:14,866
in a parkade or as that in a strip floor.
722
00:27:14,866 --> 00:27:16,201
So so we need to take that
723
00:27:16,201 --> 00:27:18,103
into consideration or judge judging
724
00:27:18,103 --> 00:27:22,507
how much time and what we're going
725
00:27:22,574 --> 00:27:24,242
And Mike, let me
726
00:27:24,242 --> 00:27:25,710
go throw devil's advocate at you.
727
00:27:25,710 --> 00:27:29,080
I really want to do one of these jobs.
728
00:27:29,147 --> 00:27:30,482
I'll be excited to do it.
729
00:27:30,482 --> 00:27:31,549
But I get there in a subfloor
730
00:27:31,549 --> 00:27:33,585
is really pretty uneven.
731
00:27:33,585 --> 00:27:37,355
You me are give me your $0.02 on it.
732
00:27:37,455 --> 00:27:39,357
going to have to have that conversation
733
00:27:39,357 --> 00:27:43,161
with the customer that you need to
734
00:27:43,228 --> 00:27:43,928
need to fix this up
735
00:27:43,928 --> 00:27:45,697
before we can install the shop.
736
00:27:45,697 --> 00:27:50,669
And if it's not up to specifications
737
00:27:50,769 --> 00:27:54,406
and we're going to have to charge
738
00:27:54,406 --> 00:27:56,341
you extra in order to do it.
739
00:27:56,341 --> 00:27:58,209
I mean, because it's it's like
740
00:27:58,209 --> 00:27:58,777
we don't
741
00:27:58,777 --> 00:27:59,144
you know,
742
00:27:59,144 --> 00:28:02,347
my my dad's motto is we don't go to work
743
00:28:02,414 --> 00:28:02,881
for free.
744
00:28:02,881 --> 00:28:04,149
We go to work to make money.
745
00:28:04,149 --> 00:28:06,551
And, and yeah, if,
746
00:28:06,551 --> 00:28:07,719
if you don't have the ability
747
00:28:07,719 --> 00:28:10,255
to determine what that is
748
00:28:10,255 --> 00:28:11,790
when you do that
749
00:28:11,790 --> 00:28:14,292
job, say it's covered with carpet,
750
00:28:14,292 --> 00:28:15,293
we want to make sure you're right.
751
00:28:15,293 --> 00:28:18,530
A little notation in
752
00:28:18,630 --> 00:28:19,197
coverage here.
753
00:28:19,197 --> 00:28:19,931
But that way.
754
00:28:19,931 --> 00:28:21,433
So if you pull up the carpet
755
00:28:21,433 --> 00:28:23,234
and there's wet plywood or
756
00:28:23,234 --> 00:28:24,302
sagging plywood
757
00:28:24,302 --> 00:28:26,871
in one corner of the world, then
758
00:28:26,871 --> 00:28:27,772
the customer's aware
759
00:28:27,772 --> 00:28:29,274
that you might have to charge,
760
00:28:29,274 --> 00:28:29,574
you know,
761
00:28:29,574 --> 00:28:33,011
whatever, five, $700 to the level
762
00:28:33,011 --> 00:28:36,514
that out to an additional layer.
763
00:28:36,581 --> 00:28:37,782
Why would you some soft
764
00:28:37,782 --> 00:28:38,717
leveling or whatever
765
00:28:38,717 --> 00:28:40,085
you might need to do
766
00:28:40,085 --> 00:28:42,620
in order to make it an acceptable sub
767
00:28:42,620 --> 00:28:45,623
or for you to install that
768
00:28:45,757 --> 00:28:47,092
Yes.
769
00:28:47,092 --> 00:28:48,259
And I'm going to say this, Mike,
770
00:28:48,259 --> 00:28:50,261
is that especially with a pattern
771
00:28:50,261 --> 00:28:50,929
for like this,
772
00:28:50,929 --> 00:28:52,363
where the what the subfloor is
773
00:28:52,363 --> 00:28:53,431
uneven can walk,
774
00:28:53,431 --> 00:28:56,434
the pattern can can can walk on you.
775
00:28:56,534 --> 00:28:58,937
And also, I'll tell you something else.
776
00:28:58,937 --> 00:29:00,138
We've got two super wide
777
00:29:00,138 --> 00:29:01,806
plank floors, too.
778
00:29:01,806 --> 00:29:03,208
And these wide plank floors
779
00:29:03,208 --> 00:29:05,176
don't bridge those things
780
00:29:05,176 --> 00:29:07,812
as they don't contour to the slabs
781
00:29:07,812 --> 00:29:09,681
as easy as a thinner board.
782
00:29:09,681 --> 00:29:11,516
So even on those white plank floors,
783
00:29:11,516 --> 00:29:12,650
you really want to make sure
784
00:29:12,650 --> 00:29:15,687
you get them some floors flat
785
00:29:15,787 --> 00:29:16,688
You do it because
786
00:29:16,688 --> 00:29:18,323
you'll get hollow spots.
787
00:29:18,323 --> 00:29:21,159
Yep.
788
00:29:21,159 --> 00:29:21,659
Hey, Mike,
789
00:29:21,659 --> 00:29:23,495
I got to ask a personal question.
790
00:29:23,495 --> 00:29:25,964
How old are you?
791
00:29:25,964 --> 00:29:27,932
I am 59.
792
00:29:27,932 --> 00:29:30,869
You're 59. Okay?
793
00:29:30,869 --> 00:29:33,872
Because you just said of
794
00:29:34,072 --> 00:29:36,141
a phrase that I haven't heard.
795
00:29:36,141 --> 00:29:37,175
In a long time.
796
00:29:37,175 --> 00:29:38,176
That's why I had to think.
797
00:29:38,176 --> 00:29:40,845
my gosh, he's got.
798
00:29:40,845 --> 00:29:41,980
Yeah. Showing your age.
799
00:29:41,980 --> 00:29:43,414
Wayne, when's the last time you heard
800
00:29:43,414 --> 00:29:45,850
anybody say wham, bam, thank, ma'am?
801
00:29:45,850 --> 00:29:49,120
When's the last time you heard that,
802
00:29:49,187 --> 00:29:51,022
That's been.
803
00:29:51,022 --> 00:29:52,190
Yeah.
804
00:29:52,190 --> 00:29:52,724
Yeah.
805
00:29:52,724 --> 00:29:53,291
It's been a
806
00:29:53,291 --> 00:29:54,726
I don't know when I've heard that
807
00:29:54,726 --> 00:29:55,326
Come on.
808
00:29:55,326 --> 00:29:56,060
When's the last time
809
00:29:56,060 --> 00:29:56,961
you heard somebody says, Hey,
810
00:29:56,961 --> 00:29:58,997
you got to love this guy.
811
00:29:58,997 --> 00:30:01,733
You see, this is it.
812
00:30:01,733 --> 00:30:02,667
You don't get this stuff
813
00:30:02,667 --> 00:30:05,303
in anybody else's skulls.
814
00:30:05,303 --> 00:30:06,971
Wham, bam, thank you, man.
815
00:30:06,971 --> 00:30:11,876
But that's in a song. What song is that?
816
00:30:11,976 --> 00:30:12,610
It's in a song.
817
00:30:12,610 --> 00:30:14,913
We
818
00:30:14,913 --> 00:30:17,582
Come on.
819
00:30:17,582 --> 00:30:22,487
I know you don't, but you're not thinking
820
00:30:22,554 --> 00:30:24,322
who's Who's Ziggy Stardust?
821
00:30:24,322 --> 00:30:26,891
What's his name?
822
00:30:26,891 --> 00:30:28,626
You
823
00:30:28,626 --> 00:30:31,029
know, I don't think it's him.
824
00:30:31,029 --> 00:30:31,696
yeah.
825
00:30:31,696 --> 00:30:32,463
Well,
826
00:30:32,463 --> 00:30:36,367
yeah, it's not, it's Suffragette City.
827
00:30:36,467 --> 00:30:38,603
77 anyway.
828
00:30:38,603 --> 00:30:43,508
Yes.
829
00:30:43,575 --> 00:30:44,309
Hi, Lynn.
830
00:30:44,309 --> 00:30:46,377
Help us. Chris.
831
00:30:46,377 --> 00:30:47,345
It was.
832
00:30:47,345 --> 00:30:48,346
David Bowie.
833
00:30:48,346 --> 00:30:49,881
I think that's it.
834
00:30:49,881 --> 00:30:51,449
He's saying Suffragette City, right?
835
00:30:51,449 --> 00:30:54,319
Isn't that the name of the song?
836
00:30:54,319 --> 00:30:55,520
And that wham, bam,
837
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,722

838
00:30:57,722 --> 00:30:58,890
100% right.

00:30:58,890 --> 00:31:02,160
And the other guy you mentioned,
840
00:31:02,260 --> 00:31:03,194
I can't remember the guy's name.
841
00:31:03,194 --> 00:31:05,730
I said, Now,
842
00:31:05,730 --> 00:31:18,810
Iggy Pop.
843
00:31:18,910 --> 00:31:19,444
You did.
844
00:31:19,444 --> 00:31:22,447
No, no way
845
00:31:22,547 --> 00:31:27,285
you did that.
846
00:31:27,352 --> 00:31:30,321
Iggy Pop, the singer.
847
00:31:30,321 --> 00:31:33,324
Yes.
848
00:31:33,491 --> 00:31:37,262
I hope he's not listening to the.
849
00:31:37,362 --> 00:31:40,331
And and why I got that?
850
00:31:40,398 --> 00:31:42,400

851
00:31:42,400 --> 00:32:42,894
Yeah.

00:32:42,994 --> 00:32:45,430

873
00:33:26,471 --> 00:33:27,672
because he was fitting it.

00:33:27,672 --> 00:33:31,976
People just like the lady in the airport

00:33:32,076 --> 00:33:34,946
who was doing laps driving you crazy.
876
00:33:34,946 --> 00:33:36,914

for the reason that you did it,
899
00:34:23,895 --> 00:34:25,229
you weren't being a punk.
900
00:34:25,229 --> 00:34:26,731
You were.
901
00:34:26,731 --> 00:34:27,765
You weren't being a punk.
902
00:34:27,765 --> 00:34:30,768
You being a hero.

That
906
00:34:52,390 --> 00:34:53,357
I hope Iggy Pop's
907
00:34:53,357 --> 00:34:54,892
people are hearing this
908
00:34:54,892 --> 00:34:55,893
because they're going to
909
00:34:55,893 --> 00:34:57,261

00:35:08,473 --> 00:35:10,374
If I know you're doing classes out there,

00:35:10,374 --> 00:35:11,476
if anybody wants to get in touch,

And every time we do
919
00:35:14,178 --> 00:35:15,513
one of these classes,
920
00:35:15,513 --> 00:35:17,081
the feedback isn't great.
921
00:35:17,081 --> 00:35:18,950
It's off the charts.
922
00:35:18,950 --> 00:35:21,285

00:36:01,092 --> 00:36:02,560
And thank you for the opportunity, Wayne.
947
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:03,761
It's just for me.
948
00:36:03,761 --> 00:36:05,830
It's fun. It's fun for me to.
949
00:36:05,830 --> 00:36:09,300
To install and work at the wood floors.
950
00:36:09,300 --> 00:36:10,835
It's fun for me to work with the students
951
00:36:10,835 --> 00:36:13,004
and just to help them along the way.
952
00:36:13,004 --> 00:36:14,939
That's to help them refine their craft.
953
00:36:14,939 --> 00:36:16,174
And so me, it's
954
00:36:16,174 --> 00:36:17,241
a lot of fun, too,
955
00:36:17,241 --> 00:36:18,276
to see their growth
956
00:36:18,276 --> 00:36:20,211
and help them along the way.
957
00:36:20,211 --> 00:36:22,713
Awesome. Thank you, sir.
958
00:36:22,813 --> 00:36:23,214
you're welcome.
959
00:36:23,214 --> 00:36:24,615
Have a happy Easter, everyone.
960
00:36:24,615 --> 00:36:26,517
you, too. You too, Thanks, Mike.
961
00:36:26,517 --> 00:36:27,818
