00:00:11,244 --> 00:00:11,578
Hello.
2
00:00:11,578 --> 00:00:12,345
Welcome to another
3
00:00:12,345 --> 00:00:14,180
episode of On the Floor with Wayne Rob.
4
00:00:14,180 --> 00:00:14,647
I'm Wayne
5
00:00:14,647 --> 00:00:15,782
Highlander, Director of Sales
6
00:00:15,782 --> 00:00:17,884
for Bona Adhesives.
7
00:00:17,884 --> 00:00:21,321
I'm Rob Johnson from Bona training
8
00:00:22,489 --> 00:00:25,492
It's flooding down in Texas.
9
00:00:25,492 --> 00:00:32,499
And then they got going on now?
10
00:00:32,499 --> 00:00:35,168
I saw before the show you're
11
00:00:35,168 --> 00:00:37,337
your revenue shoulder there.
12
00:00:37,337 --> 00:00:38,505
You throw in army.
13
00:00:38,505 --> 00:00:40,840
Did you pitch last night or what's going
14
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:41,908
no I don't know what I did.
15
00:00:41,908 --> 00:00:44,911
My shoulder is killing me, but whatever.
16
00:00:46,546 --> 00:00:46,946
So.
17
00:00:46,946 --> 00:00:48,548
All right, let's do it.
18
00:00:48,548 --> 00:00:49,449
We're going to do an episode
19
00:00:49,449 --> 00:00:52,452
about the weather. Now.
20
00:00:52,986 --> 00:00:55,522
I will tell you something, Rob, I.
21
00:00:55,522 --> 00:00:56,990
I know I've said this before,
22
00:00:56,990 --> 00:00:59,325
but how much we're like farmers.
23
00:00:59,325 --> 00:01:01,995
When I, when I didn't get to know
24
00:01:01,995 --> 00:01:03,963
my grandfather until I was about 16.
25
00:01:03,963 --> 00:01:07,634
No, no, I was like I was about 12 old.
26
00:01:07,634 --> 00:01:09,102
Ten years old to about ten
27
00:01:09,102 --> 00:01:10,136
or 12 years old.
28
00:01:10,136 --> 00:01:10,570
All right.
29
00:01:10,570 --> 00:01:12,005
On my dad's side,
30
00:01:12,005 --> 00:01:13,807
we travel so much in year for us.
31
00:01:13,807 --> 00:01:15,608
You know, we didn't, you know,
32
00:01:15,608 --> 00:01:17,277
we just stop ins, boom, We're gone.
33
00:01:17,277 --> 00:01:18,578
And that was it.
34
00:01:18,578 --> 00:01:21,047
But after as I got to know him, he
35
00:01:21,047 --> 00:01:22,215
was a retired farmer.
36
00:01:23,249 --> 00:01:24,451
He had been a farmer his whole life.
37
00:01:24,451 --> 00:01:26,486
He raised tobacco. Okay.
38
00:01:26,486 --> 00:01:28,154
And when I got to know him,
39
00:01:28,154 --> 00:01:28,755
he was retired.
40
00:01:28,755 --> 00:01:30,256
He wasn't farming anymore.
41
00:01:30,256 --> 00:01:31,458
And he would take me fishing
42
00:01:31,458 --> 00:01:34,494
sometimes out in the country and
43
00:01:36,196 --> 00:01:37,697
as we were driving out in the country,
44
00:01:37,697 --> 00:01:39,165
he would always be looking at the crops.
45
00:01:39,165 --> 00:01:41,468
He always goes, my God, if it doesn't,
46
00:01:41,468 --> 00:01:42,569
it doesn't
47
00:01:42,569 --> 00:01:43,870
doesn't start raining and crops
48
00:01:43,870 --> 00:01:45,438
are going to burn up in the field. Man.
49
00:01:45,438 --> 00:01:46,106
I mean, he was like
50
00:01:46,106 --> 00:01:48,108
he was like agonizing over it.
51
00:01:48,108 --> 00:01:49,642
And then when it started raining,
52
00:01:49,642 --> 00:01:50,176
painting me
53
00:01:50,176 --> 00:01:50,877
as, my God,
54
00:01:50,877 --> 00:01:51,611
if they don't get them
55
00:01:51,611 --> 00:01:52,312
crops out,
56
00:01:52,312 --> 00:01:53,546
out in the barn, he's
57
00:01:53,546 --> 00:01:55,482
going to tear up that tobacco.
58
00:01:55,482 --> 00:01:56,549
And,
59
00:01:56,549 --> 00:01:58,151
and one day I asked him,
60
00:01:58,151 --> 00:01:58,685
I said, Papa,
61
00:01:58,685 --> 00:01:59,986
you don't even farm anymore.
62
00:01:59,986 --> 00:02:01,187
I mean, what do you care?
63
00:02:05,391 --> 00:02:08,061
Because I mean my ice cream and that.
64
00:02:08,061 --> 00:02:09,162
Yeah, yeah.
65
00:02:09,162 --> 00:02:12,699
So and then I
66
00:02:13,066 --> 00:02:14,467
as I got older
67
00:02:14,467 --> 00:02:16,035
and I don't do flowers anymore
68
00:02:16,035 --> 00:02:17,704
when I'm laying in bed at night
69
00:02:17,704 --> 00:02:20,707
and it is just pouring rain,
70
00:02:20,940 --> 00:02:22,509
I think to myself, man
71
00:02:22,509 --> 00:02:23,376
need to be worried about them
72
00:02:23,376 --> 00:02:25,678
floors, cupping or what have you.
73
00:02:25,678 --> 00:02:27,514
We're going through a massive heat
74
00:02:27,514 --> 00:02:29,115
wave in the south,
75
00:02:29,115 --> 00:02:30,416
and I keep thinking about, man, I'm
76
00:02:30,416 --> 00:02:30,850
one of them.
77
00:02:30,850 --> 00:02:31,851
Floors are shrinking
78
00:02:31,851 --> 00:02:33,953
and I don't do floors anymore.
79
00:02:33,953 --> 00:02:36,956
But I know now how my grandfather felt.
80
00:02:37,123 --> 00:02:37,824
When you do something
81
00:02:37,824 --> 00:02:39,425
so long that it's in your blood
82
00:02:39,425 --> 00:02:40,126
and it's part of your
83
00:02:40,126 --> 00:02:41,728
your your, your life.
84
00:02:41,728 --> 00:02:42,695
Much
85
00:02:42,695 --> 00:02:43,897
I remember
86
00:02:43,897 --> 00:02:44,831
when as a contractor,
87
00:02:44,831 --> 00:02:45,298
when it
88
00:02:45,298 --> 00:02:46,866
started raining like six,
89
00:02:46,866 --> 00:02:49,102
seven days in a row of flooding, raining,
90
00:02:49,102 --> 00:02:49,936
I started thinking, man,
91
00:02:49,936 --> 00:02:51,304
what about the eight inch plank floor
92
00:02:51,304 --> 00:02:52,272
we tested?
93
00:02:52,272 --> 00:02:53,806
How is that going to be?
94
00:02:53,806 --> 00:02:54,607
And you know what I mean?
95
00:02:54,607 --> 00:02:55,808
And the humidity comes up
96
00:02:55,808 --> 00:02:56,409
and what have you.
97
00:02:56,409 --> 00:02:58,311
And this summer changes that.
98
00:02:58,311 --> 00:03:00,180
And we have gone through some drastic
99
00:03:00,180 --> 00:03:01,881
weather changes right now
100
00:03:01,881 --> 00:03:02,815
in there,
101
00:03:02,815 --> 00:03:05,919
some severe heat waves and flooding.
102
00:03:09,355 --> 00:03:11,157
103
00:03:11,157 --> 00:03:14,327
It has been It's been a very
104
00:03:15,395 --> 00:03:18,398
peculiar year and
105
00:03:18,398 --> 00:03:19,098
I can just
106
00:03:19,098 --> 00:03:20,433
tell by the calls
107
00:03:20,433 --> 00:03:22,936
that I'm getting from my old sport
108
00:03:22,936 --> 00:03:25,905
contractors, my old customers and sport
109
00:03:26,072 --> 00:03:29,142
and homeowner calls,
110
00:03:29,509 --> 00:03:30,710
even guys who have been
111
00:03:30,710 --> 00:03:32,845
to training calls like that,
112
00:03:32,845 --> 00:03:34,581
because a lot of guys
113
00:03:34,581 --> 00:03:37,584
are dealing with issues that
114
00:03:37,784 --> 00:03:40,787
they never had to deal with before,
115
00:03:41,387 --> 00:03:42,855
you know,
116
00:03:42,855 --> 00:03:44,624
and things aren't working
117
00:03:44,624 --> 00:03:46,259
the way that they should work
118
00:03:46,259 --> 00:03:47,527
with people.
119
00:03:47,527 --> 00:03:48,228
And,
120
00:03:48,228 --> 00:03:48,461
you know,
121
00:03:48,461 --> 00:03:51,965
I had a call from a guy from Calgary and,
122
00:03:52,232 --> 00:03:53,366
you know, he was just,
123
00:03:53,366 --> 00:03:54,968
you know, talking about, you know,
124
00:03:54,968 --> 00:03:56,135
the Finnish is doing this
125
00:03:56,135 --> 00:03:57,971
and it's doing that.
126
00:03:57,971 --> 00:04:00,139
And, you know, when I started,
127
00:04:00,139 --> 00:04:01,307
so I kind of brought up
128
00:04:01,307 --> 00:04:02,942
what is weather has been
129
00:04:02,942 --> 00:04:04,911
and it's just it was just
130
00:04:04,911 --> 00:04:07,380
off the charts completely different
131
00:04:08,381 --> 00:04:09,115
season
132
00:04:09,115 --> 00:04:10,717
than he had ever
133
00:04:10,717 --> 00:04:12,252
they had ever had before.
134
00:04:12,252 --> 00:04:15,255
Wow.
135
00:04:30,370 --> 00:04:30,937
Yeah.
136
00:04:30,937 --> 00:04:33,940
Yeah.
137
00:05:04,304 --> 00:05:07,307
yeah.
138
00:05:36,436 --> 00:05:39,439
Wow.
139
00:05:45,545 --> 00:05:48,548
Yeah.
140
00:06:00,626 --> 00:06:03,629
Yeah.
141
00:06:05,565 --> 00:06:06,432
yeah.
142
00:06:06,432 --> 00:06:09,435
Have you ever had heat stroke?
143
00:06:14,807 --> 00:06:15,742
Because you look like you.
144
00:06:15,742 --> 00:06:18,745
Have
145
00:06:25,051 --> 00:06:26,085
each right?
146
00:06:26,085 --> 00:06:28,588
You do it all your, your,
147
00:06:28,588 --> 00:06:31,591
your, your, your screen.
148
00:06:32,091 --> 00:06:32,759
I'm sorry.
149
00:06:32,759 --> 00:06:34,961
Yeah.
150
00:06:34,961 --> 00:06:37,964
Takes
151
00:06:44,170 --> 00:06:45,171
Yeah.
152
00:06:45,171 --> 00:06:46,139
that didn't help.
153
00:06:46,139 --> 00:06:47,573
Why have you, No.
154
00:06:47,573 --> 00:06:48,107
Every time
155
00:06:48,107 --> 00:06:49,041
your screen freezes,
156
00:06:49,041 --> 00:06:50,143
I think you had a stroke
157
00:06:50,143 --> 00:06:51,911
and you finally you stroked out.
158
00:06:51,911 --> 00:06:53,813
No,
159
00:06:53,813 --> 00:06:55,114
no, I have not, but it's.
160
00:06:55,114 --> 00:06:56,315
But I'll tell you what
161
00:06:56,315 --> 00:06:56,716
these can
162
00:06:56,716 --> 00:06:57,617
these conditions
163
00:06:57,617 --> 00:07:00,586
also are man awfully tough to work in.
164
00:07:01,020 --> 00:07:03,389
So you really got to me to stay hydrated.
165
00:07:03,389 --> 00:07:05,658
And I'm, you know,
166
00:07:05,658 --> 00:07:06,459
you and I are neither
167
00:07:06,459 --> 00:07:08,194
one of us are big up big on that.
168
00:07:08,194 --> 00:07:11,197
We did the health episodes but but
169
00:07:11,764 --> 00:07:13,399
but you really, really
170
00:07:13,399 --> 00:07:14,867
do need to think about that man.
171
00:07:14,867 --> 00:07:15,868
Very drink plenty of water
172
00:07:15,868 --> 00:07:18,304
to stay hydrated and stuff like that.
173
00:07:18,304 --> 00:07:19,705
That's one thing that comes to mind.
174
00:07:19,705 --> 00:07:21,140
The second thing that comes to mind is,
175
00:07:23,242 --> 00:07:25,445
you know,
176
00:07:25,445 --> 00:07:26,946
and I know a lot of contractors
177
00:07:26,946 --> 00:07:28,681
will do this, put in their disclaimers,
178
00:07:28,681 --> 00:07:31,317
in their in their in their contracts
179
00:07:31,317 --> 00:07:32,485
about the weather
180
00:07:32,485 --> 00:07:33,886
and how it can affect the floor.
181
00:07:33,886 --> 00:07:35,221
What is hackers copy. Right.
182
00:07:35,221 --> 00:07:36,255
It can gain moisture
183
00:07:36,255 --> 00:07:37,156
and lack of moisture
184
00:07:37,156 --> 00:07:38,891
and it could get a swell and shrink
185
00:07:38,891 --> 00:07:40,059
and what have you.
186
00:07:40,059 --> 00:07:43,296
And I think that some people will,
187
00:07:43,296 --> 00:07:44,897
you know, before winter comes,
188
00:07:44,897 --> 00:07:47,066
send out little memos to their clients.
189
00:07:47,066 --> 00:07:48,301
Don't be alarmed
190
00:07:48,301 --> 00:07:49,735
if sometimes this floor is goes
191
00:07:49,735 --> 00:07:51,737
through some seasonal movement
192
00:07:51,737 --> 00:07:53,873
because it's natural with wood
193
00:07:53,873 --> 00:07:56,242
and and it'll come back.
194
00:07:56,242 --> 00:07:57,844
And I've said before I
195
00:07:57,844 --> 00:07:58,845
my rooms are always
196
00:07:58,845 --> 00:08:00,513
my floors are always nice and tight
197
00:08:00,513 --> 00:08:02,315
thataway. Okay.
198
00:08:02,315 --> 00:08:03,583
But they are
199
00:08:03,583 --> 00:08:05,918
except one room in my house
200
00:08:05,918 --> 00:08:07,520
and one room in my house
201
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,523
expands contracts with multi contracts.
202
00:08:10,523 --> 00:08:12,391
I mean, it's shrinks
203
00:08:12,391 --> 00:08:14,527
certain time of year.
204
00:08:14,527 --> 00:08:16,062
Like I've never had a floor in my life
205
00:08:16,062 --> 00:08:16,996
shrink that
206
00:08:16,996 --> 00:08:18,898
I've in any house I've ever owned.
207
00:08:18,898 --> 00:08:19,899
You know,
208
00:08:19,899 --> 00:08:22,068
California was different than Tennessee.
209
00:08:22,068 --> 00:08:22,535
Whatever.
210
00:08:22,535 --> 00:08:23,536
My when the wintertime
211
00:08:23,536 --> 00:08:25,037
my wife cranks up, that's
212
00:08:25,037 --> 00:08:25,471
that's the room
213
00:08:25,471 --> 00:08:26,839
that she's in most the time.
214
00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:28,908
She don't like to be cold.
215
00:08:28,908 --> 00:08:31,677
And so,
216
00:08:31,677 --> 00:08:33,246
man, that floor shrinks in there
217
00:08:33,246 --> 00:08:34,547
and it always bugs me.
218
00:08:34,547 --> 00:08:35,948
But it always comes back,
219
00:08:35,948 --> 00:08:37,316
always comes back.
220
00:08:37,316 --> 00:08:39,886
And but so I think if I was a client
221
00:08:39,886 --> 00:08:42,421
and I wasn't aware of
222
00:08:42,421 --> 00:08:43,523
I didn't know flaws like we
223
00:08:43,523 --> 00:08:45,825
you and I and our contractors, no floors,
224
00:08:45,825 --> 00:08:46,559
I might be thinking,
225
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,194
my God, what's going on?
226
00:08:48,194 --> 00:08:49,996
So maybe a little,
227
00:08:49,996 --> 00:08:51,197
you know, out of prevention
228
00:08:51,197 --> 00:08:51,998
or whatever, or some,
229
00:08:51,998 --> 00:08:55,001
some give me, you know, a heads up
230
00:08:55,401 --> 00:08:57,336
might be, might make a lot of sense.
231
00:08:58,471 --> 00:09:00,039
I'm glad.
232
00:09:00,039 --> 00:09:00,239
Yeah, I
233
00:09:00,239 --> 00:09:03,242
think I've told the story before, but
234
00:09:03,409 --> 00:09:04,610
I'm going to just latch on
235
00:09:04,610 --> 00:09:06,279
to what you were saying about
236
00:09:06,279 --> 00:09:08,314
the expansion and contraction.
237
00:09:08,314 --> 00:09:11,317
And, you know, one of the new things that
238
00:09:11,551 --> 00:09:12,818
we've seen in training
239
00:09:12,818 --> 00:09:15,821
over the past couple of years are
240
00:09:17,023 --> 00:09:18,157
it's funny because it's
241
00:09:18,157 --> 00:09:20,026
either people want really dark
242
00:09:20,026 --> 00:09:21,894
or really light.
243
00:09:21,894 --> 00:09:22,228
You know,
244
00:09:22,228 --> 00:09:25,231
the warm tones are kind of But even
245
00:09:25,398 --> 00:09:26,632
saying that,
246
00:09:26,632 --> 00:09:29,335
I notice in the past couple schools
247
00:09:29,335 --> 00:09:30,570
people are starting to
248
00:09:30,570 --> 00:09:31,604
like one was telling me
249
00:09:31,604 --> 00:09:32,204
the other day
250
00:09:32,204 --> 00:09:33,539
that and he shocked
251
00:09:33,539 --> 00:09:35,675
how many natural jobs he's getting.
252
00:09:35,675 --> 00:09:39,045
But let's go back to these jobs
253
00:09:39,045 --> 00:09:39,879
that, you know,
254
00:09:39,879 --> 00:09:42,615
they have the raw look or the white look.
255
00:09:42,615 --> 00:09:43,816
Okay.
256
00:09:43,816 --> 00:09:45,885
Like around here where I live,
257
00:09:45,885 --> 00:09:48,888
my floor is right now and my house is,
258
00:09:49,422 --> 00:09:52,425
I don't know, 70 or 80 years old,
259
00:09:52,658 --> 00:09:55,061
tight as a drum in the winter.
260
00:09:55,061 --> 00:09:56,362
We have some
261
00:09:56,362 --> 00:09:58,397
we have some really good gaps.
262
00:09:59,465 --> 00:10:01,500
Really good gaps.
263
00:10:01,500 --> 00:10:02,802
You know, we have lots of gaps
264
00:10:02,802 --> 00:10:05,805
and then some some can get you know, I'm
265
00:10:06,072 --> 00:10:09,075
pretty shocked on how big they can get.
266
00:10:09,075 --> 00:10:10,543
But years and years ago,
267
00:10:10,543 --> 00:10:13,546
Pete and I did a floor
268
00:10:13,579 --> 00:10:15,014
total wage job.
269
00:10:15,014 --> 00:10:15,348
You know, it's
270
00:10:15,348 --> 00:10:16,415
when we used to bleach
271
00:10:16,415 --> 00:10:17,116
and use
272
00:10:17,116 --> 00:10:20,119
old white stain moisture gear on top
273
00:10:21,053 --> 00:10:22,955
you know the non yelling moisture cure
274
00:10:22,955 --> 00:10:24,123
everything was great.
275
00:10:24,123 --> 00:10:26,926
I mean, the job, it was a home run.
276
00:10:26,926 --> 00:10:29,729
And we had a call from where in February
277
00:10:29,729 --> 00:10:30,763
I had this
278
00:10:30,763 --> 00:10:31,297
she goes, there's
279
00:10:31,297 --> 00:10:32,698
black streaks everywhere.
280
00:10:32,698 --> 00:10:33,766
So I'm taking out something
281
00:10:33,766 --> 00:10:35,267
she's cleaning with.
282
00:10:35,267 --> 00:10:37,837
And when I went over there,
283
00:10:37,837 --> 00:10:39,238
it wasn't black streaks.
284
00:10:39,238 --> 00:10:41,540
Her floor shrunk.
285
00:10:41,540 --> 00:10:44,176
Now her floor was,
286
00:10:44,176 --> 00:10:44,844
you know, look,
287
00:10:44,844 --> 00:10:45,711
when we got there,
288
00:10:45,711 --> 00:10:48,714
the color cardboard or even darker,
289
00:10:49,148 --> 00:10:51,517
you know, just an old floor.
290
00:10:51,517 --> 00:10:53,552
So you're not going to see
291
00:10:53,552 --> 00:10:54,854
or you're not going to notice
292
00:10:55,988 --> 00:10:57,456
expansions, joints in that floor,
293
00:10:57,456 --> 00:10:58,724
especially when you've been around
294
00:10:58,724 --> 00:10:59,625
the house.
295
00:10:59,625 --> 00:11:00,359
You know, like she said,
296
00:11:00,359 --> 00:11:02,328
I've been here for 40 years.
297
00:11:02,328 --> 00:11:04,096
And I said, Mrs. Plaza, that's nothing.
298
00:11:04,096 --> 00:11:05,398
That's just
299
00:11:05,398 --> 00:11:06,265
this is natural
300
00:11:06,265 --> 00:11:08,634
expansion and contraction.
301
00:11:08,634 --> 00:11:09,735
And she said, Well,
302
00:11:09,735 --> 00:11:11,103
never happened before.
303
00:11:11,103 --> 00:11:12,638
It's something you did.
304
00:11:12,638 --> 00:11:14,874
And then
305
00:11:14,874 --> 00:11:16,409
then I was tossed in quicksand.
306
00:11:16,409 --> 00:11:18,544
I was like, the more I talked
307
00:11:18,544 --> 00:11:21,213
the sink or the lower I was thinking,
308
00:11:21,213 --> 00:11:24,216
okay, so
309
00:11:24,383 --> 00:11:26,285
have that conversation.
310
00:11:26,285 --> 00:11:28,721
I know we've said this before,
311
00:11:28,721 --> 00:11:31,223
but you got to have that conversation
312
00:11:31,223 --> 00:11:33,826
because floors, especially now
313
00:11:33,826 --> 00:11:35,327
with the expansion and contraction
314
00:11:35,327 --> 00:11:36,962
that's going to be happening,
315
00:11:36,962 --> 00:11:38,898
because right now
316
00:11:38,898 --> 00:11:40,666
everything's going to be tied is drama.
317
00:11:40,666 --> 00:11:43,636
When these things start to shrink
318
00:11:43,836 --> 00:11:45,137
come October, September,
319
00:11:45,137 --> 00:11:47,273
when people start turning the heat on
320
00:11:47,273 --> 00:11:48,741
or you're going to see some stuff.
321
00:11:49,709 --> 00:11:50,176
But that
322
00:11:50,176 --> 00:11:53,145
really wasn't what I want to touch on.
323
00:11:53,512 --> 00:11:55,014
I think what I wanted to touch on
324
00:11:55,014 --> 00:11:58,017
was because of the
325
00:11:58,784 --> 00:12:01,587
the heat index warnings.
326
00:12:01,587 --> 00:12:04,590
And you know what that really means
327
00:12:05,658 --> 00:12:08,627
when you get these heat index warnings,
328
00:12:08,928 --> 00:12:09,328
that's
329
00:12:09,328 --> 00:12:09,662
when you
330
00:12:09,662 --> 00:12:12,665
get these really high two points.
331
00:12:13,566 --> 00:12:14,900
And the dew point
332
00:12:14,900 --> 00:12:17,903
is what screws us on finishes,
333
00:12:18,137 --> 00:12:21,140
especially oil based finish.
334
00:12:21,340 --> 00:12:22,208
Okay.
335
00:12:22,208 --> 00:12:24,677
Because if that dew point gets too high
336
00:12:24,677 --> 00:12:26,245
and I'm talking about
337
00:12:26,245 --> 00:12:27,513
not dew point outside,
338
00:12:27,513 --> 00:12:29,148
but two point inside,
339
00:12:29,148 --> 00:12:31,083
if that dew point gets
340
00:12:31,083 --> 00:12:34,086
too high on the inside,
341
00:12:34,386 --> 00:12:36,956
you will start to get microscopic
342
00:12:36,956 --> 00:12:39,825
water droplets on your floor
343
00:12:39,825 --> 00:12:43,229
like a can of soda, you know, or,
344
00:12:43,362 --> 00:12:44,697
you know, a glass of soda,
345
00:12:44,697 --> 00:12:45,364
ice cold
346
00:12:45,364 --> 00:12:48,367
soda outside and all the stuff starts
347
00:12:48,567 --> 00:12:49,869
down the edge of the glass.
348
00:12:49,869 --> 00:12:51,637
That's kind of what do happen.
349
00:12:51,637 --> 00:12:53,539
That's same thing
350
00:12:53,539 --> 00:12:56,308
that's happening to your floors.
351
00:12:56,308 --> 00:12:57,977
And when you get that water on there,
352
00:12:57,977 --> 00:12:59,278
I don't know if you've ever
353
00:13:00,479 --> 00:13:01,947
in your old days pulled the
354
00:13:01,947 --> 00:13:03,382
coat of polyurethane
355
00:13:03,382 --> 00:13:04,517
or on a sports floor,
356
00:13:04,517 --> 00:13:05,985
pull the cold polyurethane.
357
00:13:05,985 --> 00:13:08,087
And as you're pulling the your thing
358
00:13:08,087 --> 00:13:10,389
oil base, your thing,
359
00:13:10,389 --> 00:13:13,392
it's like it's on
360
00:13:19,865 --> 00:13:20,466
Never happen to.
361
00:13:20,466 --> 00:13:23,469
Me.
362
00:13:23,836 --> 00:13:24,570
Well, no.
363
00:13:24,570 --> 00:13:25,471
And here's a reason why.
364
00:13:25,471 --> 00:13:26,939
Because you had different conditions.
365
00:13:26,939 --> 00:13:28,474
And I had in California.
366
00:13:28,474 --> 00:13:30,009
And also you did big gym
367
00:13:30,009 --> 00:13:30,876
floors and stuff,
368
00:13:30,876 --> 00:13:34,480
and I, you know, we didn't do gym floors
369
00:13:34,980 --> 00:13:36,015
and we didn't have
370
00:13:36,015 --> 00:13:37,082
the humidity issues
371
00:13:37,082 --> 00:13:39,852
that you had back east where you're at.
372
00:13:39,852 --> 00:13:40,886
But I know what you're talking about.
373
00:13:40,886 --> 00:13:42,488
I know that feeling when it's was kind
374
00:13:42,488 --> 00:13:44,590
of skipping across the. T-bar.
375
00:13:44,590 --> 00:13:47,593
Yeah, yeah.
376
00:13:48,060 --> 00:13:48,327
strange.
377
00:13:48,327 --> 00:13:49,962
And you know, right away
378
00:13:49,962 --> 00:13:51,363
you want to think what the
379
00:13:51,363 --> 00:13:52,498
hell's wrong with the finish?
380
00:13:54,333 --> 00:13:55,935
You know, it's not,
381
00:13:55,935 --> 00:13:56,702
you know, the first
382
00:13:56,702 --> 00:13:57,970
one of the times we saw it,
383
00:13:57,970 --> 00:13:58,871
we saw it, and
384
00:13:58,871 --> 00:14:00,706
we're doing some gyms in
385
00:14:00,706 --> 00:14:02,141
southern Illinois
386
00:14:02,141 --> 00:14:04,276
and everything was going great.
387
00:14:04,276 --> 00:14:07,179
We did like a week's worth of gyms,
388
00:14:07,179 --> 00:14:09,849
two different school systems,
389
00:14:09,849 --> 00:14:12,084
same process, and we're on top
390
00:14:12,084 --> 00:14:15,087
of the same finish and each gym,
391
00:14:15,387 --> 00:14:18,691
same process, you know, prep Rico,
392
00:14:18,824 --> 00:14:20,125
all the finished everything.
393
00:14:20,125 --> 00:14:23,128
I mean, it's just going fantastic.
394
00:14:23,596 --> 00:14:25,898
Thursday, we start hearing
395
00:14:25,898 --> 00:14:28,901
heat index warning, heat index warning.
396
00:14:29,168 --> 00:14:32,171
And then the next day it was, you know,
397
00:14:32,838 --> 00:14:36,075
it was like 90, 90, 90, 90 degrees
398
00:14:36,075 --> 00:14:37,476
and 90 humidity.
399
00:14:37,476 --> 00:14:40,079
It was a super heat index warning.
400
00:14:40,079 --> 00:14:43,082
And we did the same thing, clean the gym,
401
00:14:43,949 --> 00:14:45,718
liberated it,
402
00:14:45,718 --> 00:14:46,852
everything was fine.
403
00:14:46,852 --> 00:14:47,920
And then we started
404
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,421
pulling the finish and
405
00:14:49,421 --> 00:14:51,290
and that's what we are seeing.
406
00:14:51,290 --> 00:14:52,758
I mean, it was and,
407
00:14:52,758 --> 00:14:53,259
you know,
408
00:14:53,259 --> 00:14:53,726
two guys
409
00:14:53,726 --> 00:14:54,827
I'd been working with all week
410
00:14:54,827 --> 00:14:56,896
were staring at each other like,
411
00:14:56,896 --> 00:14:58,831
what the hell is going on here?
412
00:14:58,831 --> 00:14:59,498
And never,
413
00:15:00,499 --> 00:15:01,667
you know, we knew.
414
00:15:01,667 --> 00:15:02,034
Hey.
415
00:15:02,034 --> 00:15:04,637
And the other thing too was, you know,
416
00:15:04,637 --> 00:15:06,372
couple of gyms didn't have AC.
417
00:15:06,372 --> 00:15:09,375
So these places were just brutal.
418
00:15:10,242 --> 00:15:11,610
There were older schools.
419
00:15:11,610 --> 00:15:14,613
I mean, it was unbelievable.
420
00:15:15,047 --> 00:15:17,616
I have no idea what's going on.
421
00:15:17,616 --> 00:15:19,952
I really had no idea what was going on.
422
00:15:19,952 --> 00:15:21,153
But I'm thinking
423
00:15:21,153 --> 00:15:23,555
if I don't go to this place,
424
00:15:23,555 --> 00:15:24,189
I'm screwed.
425
00:15:24,189 --> 00:15:27,192
I'm going to be here forever, you know?
426
00:15:27,293 --> 00:15:30,296
So I got this old timer to help us out,
427
00:15:30,963 --> 00:15:32,932
and he never spoke to me again
428
00:15:32,932 --> 00:15:34,500
After this,
429
00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:36,302
I said, All right, here's the deal.
430
00:15:36,302 --> 00:15:38,304
You're going to buff the floor
431
00:15:38,304 --> 00:15:40,072
ahead of us.
432
00:15:40,072 --> 00:15:42,308
Okay? We're ready to cope.
433
00:15:42,308 --> 00:15:45,311
And all I had him doing was a
434
00:15:45,644 --> 00:15:48,647
Okay.
435
00:15:50,182 --> 00:15:53,185
Just a break to certain.
436
00:15:53,519 --> 00:15:56,522
Yeah.
437
00:16:02,594 --> 00:16:05,597
Yeah.
438
00:16:11,737 --> 00:16:12,538
Yeah.
439
00:16:12,538 --> 00:16:13,305
How does he do it?
440
00:16:15,074 --> 00:16:17,309
Yeah.
441
00:16:17,309 --> 00:16:18,210
Yeah.
442
00:16:18,210 --> 00:16:21,213
443
00:16:24,917 --> 00:16:27,920
yeah, yeah, yeah,
444
00:16:28,487 --> 00:16:31,490
yeah.
445
00:16:40,199 --> 00:16:41,066
Just getting the water off
446
00:16:41,066 --> 00:16:43,702
the of the dry drying it.
447
00:16:43,702 --> 00:16:44,837
Yeah.
448
00:16:44,837 --> 00:16:47,840
Yeah,
449
00:16:53,846 --> 00:16:55,214
yeah, yeah.
450
00:16:55,214 --> 00:16:58,217
yeah,
451
00:17:01,253 --> 00:17:02,321
yeah.
452
00:17:02,321 --> 00:17:03,322
When did you learn that.
453
00:17:03,322 --> 00:17:04,823
When did you learned that that was.
454
00:17:04,823 --> 00:17:07,826
That's actually what you were doing.
455
00:17:09,094 --> 00:17:12,097
I had
456
00:17:14,299 --> 00:17:15,267
I think I was
457
00:17:15,267 --> 00:17:18,270
I can't remember who I was talking to.
458
00:17:20,305 --> 00:17:21,073
I don't know.
459
00:17:21,073 --> 00:17:22,508
I was talking to somebody
460
00:17:22,508 --> 00:17:24,009
and I thought I was right.
461
00:17:24,009 --> 00:17:25,611
And this guy was saying,
462
00:17:25,611 --> 00:17:26,979
yeah, you were halfway there.
463
00:17:26,979 --> 00:17:28,580
Whatever
464
00:17:28,580 --> 00:17:31,583
he said, you had a two point issue.
465
00:17:33,419 --> 00:17:35,854
And I'm thinking,
466
00:17:35,854 --> 00:17:38,991
Had no idea what he was talking about.
467
00:17:38,991 --> 00:17:41,827
A dew point issue. Okay.
468
00:17:41,827 --> 00:17:42,361
Then he said,
469
00:17:42,361 --> 00:17:43,996
and that's what was causing that.
470
00:17:43,996 --> 00:17:46,398
So you're
471
00:17:46,398 --> 00:17:47,633
you didn't fix your dew
472
00:17:47,633 --> 00:17:48,801
point, you just kind of
473
00:17:49,835 --> 00:17:51,236
and he kept mentioning dew point
474
00:17:51,236 --> 00:17:52,071
that I remember.
475
00:17:52,071 --> 00:17:54,506
And there's a section in our
476
00:17:54,506 --> 00:17:57,509
training where it's like it says,
477
00:17:58,077 --> 00:18:01,080
you know what your due points are Yeah.
478
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:02,448
and yeah,
479
00:18:02,448 --> 00:18:03,816
I was talking to people, I'm like what,
480
00:18:03,816 --> 00:18:05,017
what do we mean by that?
481
00:18:05,017 --> 00:18:07,486
And I didn't really get.
482
00:18:07,486 --> 00:18:10,289
So I ended up calling the American
483
00:18:10,289 --> 00:18:12,124
Painting Association,
484
00:18:12,124 --> 00:18:15,127
talking to a tech guy there.
485
00:18:18,330 --> 00:18:20,032
You could have always called me.
486
00:18:20,032 --> 00:18:20,866
Yeah.
487
00:18:20,866 --> 00:18:23,469
Not.
488
00:18:23,469 --> 00:18:24,036
Not.
489
00:18:24,036 --> 00:18:27,039
Not a big deal, but go ahead.
490
00:18:27,739 --> 00:18:29,341
I What do you.
491
00:18:29,341 --> 00:18:31,710
I appreciate that.
492
00:18:31,710 --> 00:18:32,711
him.
493
00:18:32,711 --> 00:18:35,347
So anyways, this guy was pretty,
494
00:18:35,347 --> 00:18:36,381
pretty informative.
495
00:18:36,381 --> 00:18:37,116
And he said, you know,
496
00:18:37,116 --> 00:18:39,251
sometimes you drive it down the street
497
00:18:39,251 --> 00:18:40,185
and all the houses
498
00:18:40,185 --> 00:18:41,386
look great that were painted
499
00:18:41,386 --> 00:18:42,921
and then one house,
500
00:18:42,921 --> 00:18:45,557
the paint is peeling off like crazy
501
00:18:45,557 --> 00:18:48,560
he said, a lot of that has to do with
502
00:18:48,660 --> 00:18:50,729
the dew point was bad
503
00:18:50,729 --> 00:18:52,197
when they were doing that
504
00:18:53,432 --> 00:18:55,434
Funny how every every
505
00:18:55,434 --> 00:18:56,401
every craftsman,
506
00:18:56,401 --> 00:18:56,969
every industry
507
00:18:56,969 --> 00:18:58,871
puts it in their perspective.
508
00:18:58,871 --> 00:19:00,105
If you called a bricklayer, he.
509
00:19:00,105 --> 00:19:00,839
He would have said, you know,
510
00:19:00,839 --> 00:19:01,640
how you driving down the road?
511
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:02,474
He said all these bricks,
512
00:19:02,474 --> 00:19:03,976
all the bricks are perfect. Right?
513
00:19:03,976 --> 00:19:05,477
But then you see these set of bricks
514
00:19:05,477 --> 00:19:07,412
that are just different than the others.
515
00:19:07,412 --> 00:19:10,415
It's two point, you know what I mean?
516
00:19:12,751 --> 00:19:12,951
well.
517
00:19:12,951 --> 00:19:13,652
So.
518
00:19:13,652 --> 00:19:16,655
So he explained to me what.
519
00:19:16,822 --> 00:19:18,624
So I go, Yeah, but I'm an inside.
520
00:19:18,624 --> 00:19:20,125
We're inside people,
521
00:19:20,125 --> 00:19:20,359
you know,
522
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:21,326
we do floors inside,
523
00:19:21,326 --> 00:19:24,163
not we're not exterior painters.
524
00:19:24,163 --> 00:19:26,765
And he goes, Does it matter?
525
00:19:26,765 --> 00:19:27,266
And he goes,
526
00:19:27,266 --> 00:19:29,902
So he was the one who taught me
527
00:19:29,902 --> 00:19:33,405
how to find the dew point inside.
528
00:19:33,405 --> 00:19:34,406
And then once you know
529
00:19:34,406 --> 00:19:35,574
what you do, point is
530
00:19:37,242 --> 00:19:38,644
now you can really gauge
531
00:19:38,644 --> 00:19:40,279
what's going to happen.
532
00:19:40,279 --> 00:19:42,147
So you ready? You got a pencil and Yeah.
533
00:19:42,147 --> 00:19:44,416
Yep. I'm ready.
534
00:19:44,416 --> 00:19:47,386
So first thing you need
535
00:19:48,086 --> 00:19:51,089
is your floor temperature.
536
00:19:51,557 --> 00:19:54,560
Okay, you get your floor temperature,
537
00:19:56,128 --> 00:19:59,131
then you get
538
00:19:59,865 --> 00:20:02,868
the temperature
539
00:20:03,068 --> 00:20:05,470
of the
540
00:20:05,470 --> 00:20:07,139
Whether I grandmother or
541
00:20:07,139 --> 00:20:09,875
you talking about the RH.
542
00:20:09,875 --> 00:20:11,777
RH Of the room.
543
00:20:11,777 --> 00:20:14,780
Good.
544
00:20:15,647 --> 00:20:16,582
So I remember
545
00:20:16,582 --> 00:20:19,585
doing this in a book class
546
00:20:20,052 --> 00:20:21,720
and Howard Brickman was there.
547
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,723
Now you want to talk about
548
00:20:25,857 --> 00:20:28,860
Yeah.
549
00:20:39,805 --> 00:20:42,808
Yeah.
550
00:21:12,070 --> 00:21:13,171
Okay.
551
00:21:13,171 --> 00:21:16,174
Well, yeah.
552
00:21:34,192 --> 00:21:34,459
Okay.
553
00:21:34,459 --> 00:21:37,462
So what is that app again?
554
00:21:37,529 --> 00:21:38,363
Two point app.
555
00:21:38,363 --> 00:21:39,364
Yeah, it's just called
556
00:21:39,364 --> 00:21:40,666
dew point calculator.
557
00:21:40,666 --> 00:21:42,501
Okay. They're free.
558
00:21:42,501 --> 00:21:44,369
so now here's the deal.
559
00:21:44,369 --> 00:21:48,173
Five is your number five, and that is
560
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,842
your dew point
561
00:21:50,842 --> 00:21:53,812
needs to be at least
562
00:21:54,212 --> 00:21:57,516
five points lower
563
00:22:01,019 --> 00:22:01,620
Yeah.
564
00:22:01,620 --> 00:22:01,953
Yeah,
565
00:22:27,713 --> 00:22:28,013
yeah.
566
00:22:28,013 --> 00:22:30,982
Yep.
567
00:22:50,635 --> 00:22:52,003
Right.
568
00:22:52,003 --> 00:22:53,972
you might want to take a precaution,
569
00:22:53,972 --> 00:22:55,340
you know, a little airflow,
570
00:22:55,340 --> 00:22:58,443
a little bit of heat, dry heat, something
571
00:22:58,443 --> 00:23:01,480
just to maybe back that down
572
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,782
a little bit.
573
00:23:03,782 --> 00:23:05,350
Yeah.
574
00:23:05,350 --> 00:23:07,352
Good.
575
00:23:07,352 --> 00:23:09,755
you know, showing this to the class,
576
00:23:09,755 --> 00:23:10,822
all of a sudden
577
00:23:10,822 --> 00:23:13,792
Howard starts shaking his head no, like
578
00:23:14,126 --> 00:23:17,129
and I'm like,
579
00:23:17,496 --> 00:23:18,930
what am I saying wrong?
580
00:23:18,930 --> 00:23:19,331
You know?
581
00:23:19,331 --> 00:23:22,467
I mean, You said wrong yeah, well,
582
00:23:22,467 --> 00:23:25,470
you know, with a bleep, Yeah.
583
00:23:40,886 --> 00:23:41,953
Yep.
584
00:23:41,953 --> 00:23:43,855
said, Howard's everything okay?
585
00:23:43,855 --> 00:23:46,858
He goes, Yeah, everything's fine.
586
00:23:47,392 --> 00:23:49,060
I go to my numbers and all that.
587
00:23:49,060 --> 00:23:50,562
He goes, yeah, yeah.
588
00:23:50,562 --> 00:23:53,064
He goes, I'll be right back,
589
00:23:53,064 --> 00:23:56,067
okay?
590
00:24:07,813 --> 00:24:10,816
Well,
591
00:24:13,885 --> 00:24:15,987
no kidding.
592
00:24:15,987 --> 00:24:17,656
With them.
593
00:24:17,656 --> 00:24:20,659
That's pretty cool,
594
00:24:20,725 --> 00:24:22,661
both having a good chuckle about that.
595
00:24:22,661 --> 00:24:24,696
And I said he goes where you
596
00:24:24,696 --> 00:24:26,164
I go, I have no idea.
597
00:24:26,164 --> 00:24:27,399
I really don't. I, I,
598
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,235
I said when I was talking to
599
00:24:30,235 --> 00:24:31,102
the guy,
600
00:24:31,102 --> 00:24:32,170
you know,
601
00:24:32,170 --> 00:24:34,573
I'm going to download me on to it.
602
00:24:34,573 --> 00:24:35,740
I'm going to download iTunes.
603
00:24:35,740 --> 00:24:36,074
I didn't know
604
00:24:36,074 --> 00:24:38,043
there was a do point calculator,
605
00:24:38,043 --> 00:24:39,611
so that's good stuff.
606
00:24:39,611 --> 00:24:41,513
You know, it can affect diseases as well.
607
00:24:41,513 --> 00:24:44,082
And what happens with on the adhesives
608
00:24:44,082 --> 00:24:47,552
when you get dew point, basically you
609
00:24:47,819 --> 00:24:49,988
you have. Warm.
610
00:24:49,988 --> 00:24:51,423
Humid air
611
00:24:51,423 --> 00:24:53,825
blowing across the cooler surface
612
00:24:53,825 --> 00:24:57,496
and the water can condense on the slab.
613
00:24:58,029 --> 00:24:59,397
So now you have
614
00:24:59,397 --> 00:25:00,866
you can have more moisture on the slab
615
00:25:00,866 --> 00:25:01,867
you think you do
616
00:25:01,867 --> 00:25:02,901
so on
617
00:25:02,901 --> 00:25:04,269
on adhesives also
618
00:25:04,269 --> 00:25:06,505
dew point is a very important
619
00:25:06,505 --> 00:25:07,906
so a lot of people at time
620
00:25:07,906 --> 00:25:08,473
they think
621
00:25:08,473 --> 00:25:09,908
I had too much moisture in a slab
622
00:25:09,908 --> 00:25:12,143
when it was dew point issue.
623
00:25:12,143 --> 00:25:13,612
So it's tough.
624
00:25:13,612 --> 00:25:15,514
Rob It's interesting.
625
00:25:15,514 --> 00:25:16,348
It's interesting.
626
00:25:16,348 --> 00:25:17,048
I mean,
627
00:25:17,048 --> 00:25:18,617
how much we're affected by
628
00:25:18,617 --> 00:25:20,685
by weather in our industry.
629
00:25:21,786 --> 00:25:23,855
And I was looking up
630
00:25:23,855 --> 00:25:25,423
songs about weather, man.
631
00:25:25,423 --> 00:25:26,191
And there's there's
632
00:25:26,191 --> 00:25:27,893
as many songs about rain
633
00:25:27,893 --> 00:25:28,960
as there is about love.
634
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:33,064
I think there's crazy
635
00:25:33,064 --> 00:25:33,431
And that
636
00:25:33,431 --> 00:25:34,533
because I was
637
00:25:34,533 --> 00:25:35,133
going to say
638
00:25:35,133 --> 00:25:35,867
A Rainy Night in
639
00:25:35,867 --> 00:25:36,935
Georgia is one of my all time
640
00:25:36,935 --> 00:25:38,370
favorite songs.
641
00:25:38,370 --> 00:25:41,139
But there's so many of his crazy man.
642
00:25:41,139 --> 00:25:44,142
Yeah.
643
00:25:44,242 --> 00:25:45,510
I'll tell you one other story.
644
00:25:45,510 --> 00:25:47,345
When when we were in Kentucky
645
00:25:47,345 --> 00:25:50,348
and it talks about how violent weather is
646
00:25:50,749 --> 00:25:52,551
and tornadoes
647
00:25:52,551 --> 00:25:55,520
I know the movie Twister is coming out
648
00:25:55,820 --> 00:25:57,055
when we were in Kentucky.
649
00:25:57,055 --> 00:25:58,456
All right.
650
00:25:58,456 --> 00:26:01,393
So I'm in a movie theater, right,
651
00:26:01,393 --> 00:26:02,827
with my with my cousin
652
00:26:02,827 --> 00:26:04,829
and my my wife and his wife.
653
00:26:04,829 --> 00:26:06,464
And four of us in a movie theater
654
00:26:06,464 --> 00:26:08,199
movie hasn't started yet.
655
00:26:08,199 --> 00:26:10,769
It was a Twister movie from ages ago.
656
00:26:10,769 --> 00:26:11,136
I don't know.
657
00:26:11,136 --> 00:26:12,137
This must be a recreation
658
00:26:12,137 --> 00:26:13,772
that's come out now. Right.
659
00:26:13,772 --> 00:26:14,839
So movies, you know.
660
00:26:17,876 --> 00:26:19,010
okay.
661
00:26:19,010 --> 00:26:21,746
So
662
00:26:21,746 --> 00:26:23,582
yeah, yeah.
663
00:26:23,582 --> 00:26:26,318
So
664
00:26:26,318 --> 00:26:27,652
movie hadn't started yet.
665
00:26:27,652 --> 00:26:29,154
We're in there early, right?
666
00:26:29,154 --> 00:26:30,121
We're talking.
667
00:26:30,121 --> 00:26:31,923
There's a couple in front of us
668
00:26:31,923 --> 00:26:33,024
and I don't remember what we said,
669
00:26:33,024 --> 00:26:34,526
but the guy turned around and he kind of,
670
00:26:34,526 --> 00:26:36,461
you know, you know
671
00:26:36,461 --> 00:26:36,962
obviously, you
672
00:26:36,962 --> 00:26:37,996
listen to our conversation.
673
00:26:37,996 --> 00:26:38,630
No big deal
674
00:26:38,630 --> 00:26:40,599
whenever you chimed in about something,
675
00:26:40,599 --> 00:26:41,700
whatever.
676
00:26:41,700 --> 00:26:44,603
So now that I know that he's listening,
677
00:26:44,603 --> 00:26:47,606
I,
678
00:26:47,672 --> 00:26:50,175
I told her, I said,
679
00:26:50,175 --> 00:26:54,045
you know, back in 1976,
680
00:26:54,646 --> 00:26:57,315
there was a tornado
681
00:26:57,315 --> 00:26:59,517
that went through the Ohio Valley
682
00:26:59,517 --> 00:27:01,152
and it was the worst tornado season
683
00:27:01,152 --> 00:27:02,487
that ever went through the Ohio Valley.
684
00:27:02,487 --> 00:27:04,222
And it all kinds of homes
685
00:27:04,222 --> 00:27:05,991
were destroyed by the tornadoes.
686
00:27:05,991 --> 00:27:08,193
In fact, our house was hit as well.
687
00:27:08,193 --> 00:27:10,161
This isn't true, but that's what I said.
688
00:27:11,229 --> 00:27:13,565
And I said, you know,
689
00:27:13,565 --> 00:27:14,899
they always tell you to leave a window
690
00:27:14,899 --> 00:27:17,302
open on the east side of the house
691
00:27:17,302 --> 00:27:18,603
and in case there's a
692
00:27:18,603 --> 00:27:20,005
there's a tornado, what have you.
693
00:27:20,005 --> 00:27:20,438
And I said,
694
00:27:20,438 --> 00:27:23,441
our mama was living with us at the time
695
00:27:23,541 --> 00:27:25,243
and the tornado hit
696
00:27:25,243 --> 00:27:26,311
and it actually sucked her
697
00:27:26,311 --> 00:27:29,314
out of the window.
698
00:27:30,515 --> 00:27:32,283
And we found her in a field
699
00:27:32,283 --> 00:27:34,386
about 100 yards away.
700
00:27:34,386 --> 00:27:36,321
And it was actually it was
701
00:27:36,321 --> 00:27:37,922
it was really awful.
702
00:27:37,922 --> 00:27:40,925
And so my cousin knows
703
00:27:41,292 --> 00:27:42,427
that I'm making this up.
704
00:27:42,427 --> 00:27:44,262
She goes, was she okay?
705
00:27:44,262 --> 00:27:46,698
And I said, Yeah,
706
00:27:46,698 --> 00:27:48,600
but the tornado had ripped
707
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,202
all the pubic hair off her entire body.
708
00:27:51,202 --> 00:27:51,903
And.
709
00:27:51,903 --> 00:27:52,837
It said she was like,
710
00:27:52,837 --> 00:27:53,571
this is the coldest
711
00:27:53,571 --> 00:27:55,240
he's ever been in her life.
712
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:56,808
And it didn't finally turn around and
713
00:27:56,808 --> 00:27:57,208
he, you
714
00:27:58,176 --> 00:27:58,843
okay?
715
00:27:58,843 --> 00:28:00,545
You just made it up, right?
716
00:28:00,545 --> 00:28:02,814
It
717
00:28:02,814 --> 00:28:05,183
is 11 so hard.
718
00:28:05,183 --> 00:28:06,851
So. Yeah.
719
00:28:06,851 --> 00:28:09,320
All right.
720
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:09,754
All right.
721
00:28:09,754 --> 00:28:12,757
What else you got about weather?
722
00:28:36,948 --> 00:28:39,951
Swamp colors?
723
00:29:19,491 --> 00:29:22,460
Wow.
724
00:29:29,300 --> 00:29:32,270
Really?
725
00:30:38,403 --> 00:30:41,406
yeah, yeah.
726
00:30:52,016 --> 00:30:52,851
bag of tricks.
727
00:30:52,851 --> 00:30:56,221
But I am just blown away by how that
728
00:30:56,888 --> 00:30:59,858
AC lowers the central
729
00:30:59,858 --> 00:31:02,861
AC lowers the humidity levels,
730
00:31:02,861 --> 00:31:04,195
which is really going to be good
731
00:31:04,195 --> 00:31:07,198
for drying the oil based type products
732
00:31:07,932 --> 00:31:08,633
You know, we worked
733
00:31:08,633 --> 00:31:10,501
with a very sensitive product.
734
00:31:10,501 --> 00:31:12,103
We worked with hardwood floors
735
00:31:12,103 --> 00:31:13,905
we talked about there.
736
00:31:13,905 --> 00:31:16,040
I I.
737
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:16,507
Well.
738
00:31:16,507 --> 00:31:19,010
I,
739
00:31:19,010 --> 00:31:20,078
I gross copy.
740
00:31:20,078 --> 00:31:21,446
wow. What happened there?
741
00:31:21,446 --> 00:31:22,313
Their huggers got big,
742
00:31:22,313 --> 00:31:23,948
so they're very much affected
743
00:31:23,948 --> 00:31:25,083
by the moisture.
744
00:31:25,083 --> 00:31:27,452
We talked about this
745
00:31:27,452 --> 00:31:27,886
heat wave
746
00:31:27,886 --> 00:31:29,587
that we're experiencing right now.
747
00:31:29,587 --> 00:31:31,823
I had a job that we had sanded.
748
00:31:31,823 --> 00:31:32,824
It was been acclimated
749
00:31:32,824 --> 00:31:33,925
for a long time on the job
750
00:31:33,925 --> 00:31:35,260
and it had been sanded.
751
00:31:35,260 --> 00:31:36,728
We were on the last part of this area
752
00:31:36,728 --> 00:31:38,463
and now we're into the fine sanding
753
00:31:38,463 --> 00:31:41,466
and the the we had the garage opened up
754
00:31:41,766 --> 00:31:42,834
and the garage was blowing
755
00:31:42,834 --> 00:31:44,469
hot air into the house
756
00:31:44,469 --> 00:31:46,204
like really, really hot, hot,
757
00:31:46,204 --> 00:31:47,839
dry air into the house.
758
00:31:47,839 --> 00:31:49,707
And it dried up that floor.
759
00:31:49,707 --> 00:31:51,409
And when we were in that process of
760
00:31:51,409 --> 00:31:51,876
the job,
761
00:31:51,876 --> 00:31:52,777
when we were,
762
00:31:52,777 --> 00:31:53,411
you know,
763
00:31:53,411 --> 00:31:55,880
pretty much on on our final sanding.
764
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:56,748
So it's amazing
765
00:31:56,748 --> 00:31:59,617
how much can affect the floor.
766
00:31:59,617 --> 00:32:02,487
I did a job for a lady that
767
00:32:02,487 --> 00:32:05,490
we acclimated the job perfectly.
768
00:32:05,790 --> 00:32:07,292
We really did. We acclimate it.
769
00:32:07,292 --> 00:32:07,659
We did it.
770
00:32:07,659 --> 00:32:09,260
And it was only a small kitchen.
771
00:32:09,260 --> 00:32:10,061
Did a great job
772
00:32:10,061 --> 00:32:11,329
seeing the floor when it was fine.
773
00:32:11,329 --> 00:32:12,931
It was just one of those small jobs.
774
00:32:12,931 --> 00:32:14,766
It just nondescript. No big deal.
775
00:32:14,766 --> 00:32:15,767
You don't even think about it.
776
00:32:15,767 --> 00:32:16,401
It's a kitchen.
777
00:32:16,401 --> 00:32:18,603
Hundred and 65 square feet or something.
778
00:32:18,603 --> 00:32:21,072
And then the contractor called me
779
00:32:21,072 --> 00:32:21,572
months later,
780
00:32:21,572 --> 00:32:21,973
said, hey,
781
00:32:21,973 --> 00:32:23,408
you know, that lady is really complaining
782
00:32:23,408 --> 00:32:25,443
that the floor has it's cracks in it
783
00:32:25,443 --> 00:32:27,745
or something. I can't be.
784
00:32:27,745 --> 00:32:28,413
And he goes, Yeah,
785
00:32:28,413 --> 00:32:29,347
she's complaining about it.
786
00:32:29,347 --> 00:32:30,214
I said, Yeah, right.
787
00:32:30,214 --> 00:32:31,849
I mean, you look at it.
788
00:32:31,849 --> 00:32:32,717
And. I went up there.
789
00:32:34,385 --> 00:32:35,453
And.
790
00:32:35,453 --> 00:32:36,955
I'm in her kitchen talking to her
791
00:32:36,955 --> 00:32:38,156
and it is
792
00:32:38,156 --> 00:32:41,159
unbelievably hot in that kitchen.
793
00:32:41,526 --> 00:32:43,094
Like she's, she,
794
00:32:43,094 --> 00:32:44,562
she had this condition
795
00:32:44,562 --> 00:32:45,530
where she was freezing
796
00:32:45,530 --> 00:32:46,397
cold all the time
797
00:32:46,397 --> 00:32:49,400
she's a very old lady and she's like £85.
798
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:50,735
So when I'm in there talking to her,
799
00:32:50,735 --> 00:32:51,903
I'm almost laughing to myself,
800
00:32:51,903 --> 00:32:54,472
like nobody acclimates to this.
801
00:32:54,472 --> 00:32:55,039
You know what I mean?
802
00:32:55,039 --> 00:32:56,174
This is like,
803
00:32:56,174 --> 00:32:59,310
No, I never saw that coming, you know?
804
00:32:59,344 --> 00:33:01,045
And yeah, we put it in their contract,
805
00:33:01,045 --> 00:33:01,813
you know, that,
806
00:33:01,813 --> 00:33:02,547
you know,
807
00:33:02,547 --> 00:33:03,948
get acclimated to the floors,
808
00:33:03,948 --> 00:33:05,049
this, that and the other.
809
00:33:05,049 --> 00:33:07,885
But it was the contract
810
00:33:07,885 --> 00:33:08,753
it was really good customer
811
00:33:08,753 --> 00:33:09,988
for we ended up staying in that floor
812
00:33:09,988 --> 00:33:11,422
over down the road.
813
00:33:11,422 --> 00:33:13,491
But I mean.
814
00:33:13,491 --> 00:33:15,593
Yeah, I mean you know
815
00:33:15,593 --> 00:33:17,261
that tells you also in your contract
816
00:33:17,261 --> 00:33:18,363
about how important it is
817
00:33:18,363 --> 00:33:20,531
to put stuff about that in your contract.
818
00:33:20,531 --> 00:33:24,535
I sent my contract people to,
819
00:33:24,569 --> 00:33:28,006
to a probably 200 some odd 250 people
820
00:33:28,206 --> 00:33:29,107
on the show.
821
00:33:29,107 --> 00:33:30,441
They've asked me for my contract.
822
00:33:30,441 --> 00:33:31,676
I've sent it to them.
823
00:33:31,676 --> 00:33:33,144
So anybody who wants it, you still have.
824
00:33:33,144 --> 00:33:33,911
If you don't have it yet,
825
00:33:33,911 --> 00:33:35,279
you can reach out and.
826
00:33:35,279 --> 00:33:37,715
But, but, but it's so important.
827
00:33:41,352 --> 00:33:44,355
Well,
828
00:33:44,389 --> 00:33:46,290
I love when people will
829
00:33:46,290 --> 00:33:47,458
call me or something
830
00:33:47,458 --> 00:33:50,194
or text me or whatever,
831
00:33:50,194 --> 00:33:52,363
and man, that show is so great.
832
00:33:52,363 --> 00:33:55,366
Can you send me which contract yeah.
833
00:33:56,234 --> 00:33:59,237
Like Yeah, okay, I get it.
834
00:33:59,570 --> 00:34:01,072
I've sent it out so many times.
835
00:34:01,072 --> 00:34:02,306
It's insane to me, which is.
836
00:34:02,306 --> 00:34:02,974
Which is great.
837
00:34:02,974 --> 00:34:04,909
I hope people can use it, but it just
838
00:34:04,909 --> 00:34:06,310
you have to put something in there
839
00:34:06,310 --> 00:34:07,478
about the weather.
840
00:34:07,478 --> 00:34:08,346
This is a good example
841
00:34:08,346 --> 00:34:09,981
right now, these extremes.
842
00:34:09,981 --> 00:34:11,749
And now down down there in Houston
843
00:34:11,749 --> 00:34:12,750
where you get the flooding
844
00:34:12,750 --> 00:34:14,085
and all those other things
845
00:34:14,085 --> 00:34:15,053
that come in afterwards.
846
00:34:15,053 --> 00:34:18,956
I mean, now that man is, you know,
847
00:34:19,290 --> 00:34:19,991
we have
848
00:34:19,991 --> 00:34:20,825
we're responsible
849
00:34:20,825 --> 00:34:23,094
for so much anyhow in this industry
850
00:34:23,094 --> 00:34:24,028
that you want to make sure
851
00:34:24,028 --> 00:34:25,029
you take care of yourself
852
00:34:25,029 --> 00:34:26,564
and and those type of things,
853
00:34:26,564 --> 00:34:27,398
because this
854
00:34:27,398 --> 00:34:28,299
this heat wave
855
00:34:28,299 --> 00:34:29,200
have been going on for
856
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:30,501
for many, many weeks now.
857
00:34:30,501 --> 00:34:32,537
And it's all across the east.
858
00:34:32,537 --> 00:34:34,405
And someone sent me
859
00:34:34,405 --> 00:34:35,873
a picture of a Las Vegas
860
00:34:35,873 --> 00:34:36,841
the other day outside.
861
00:34:36,841 --> 00:34:38,543
It was 120 degrees.
862
00:34:38,543 --> 00:34:39,710
Show me the thermostat.
863
00:34:39,710 --> 00:34:42,680
So all in.
864
00:34:42,780 --> 00:34:44,348
All, it all makes a difference
865
00:34:44,348 --> 00:34:46,117
to the to the floors that we work on.
866
00:34:49,720 --> 00:34:50,855
Yeah.
867
00:34:50,855 --> 00:34:52,590
Yeah. But it's a dry heat.
868
00:34:52,590 --> 00:34:53,524
yeah.
869
00:34:53,524 --> 00:34:56,494
If anything, hopefully people just start
870
00:34:56,494 --> 00:34:59,163
taking all this into
871
00:34:59,163 --> 00:35:02,166
Yeah, that.
872
00:35:14,946 --> 00:35:15,379
yeah, it's
873
00:35:15,379 --> 00:35:18,382
talking to one guy down in Texas and,
874
00:35:19,117 --> 00:35:20,451
and he called me
875
00:35:20,451 --> 00:35:22,153
and he showed me these pictures
876
00:35:22,153 --> 00:35:22,887
and he's like,
877
00:35:22,887 --> 00:35:24,322
you know, we've never had this.
878
00:35:24,322 --> 00:35:26,057
I do the same thing.
879
00:35:26,057 --> 00:35:28,593
And I said,
880
00:35:28,593 --> 00:35:30,728
Do those windows, do,
881
00:35:30,728 --> 00:35:33,731
do they face west?
882
00:35:34,665 --> 00:35:36,567
because it was a wall of windows.
883
00:35:36,567 --> 00:35:38,269
And he goes, yeah.
884
00:35:38,269 --> 00:35:40,371
He goes, yes, definitely.
885
00:35:40,371 --> 00:35:40,705
He said,
886
00:35:40,705 --> 00:35:44,308
but you know, I'm not going in till six,
887
00:35:44,542 --> 00:35:47,512
7:00, so it's not that hot.
888
00:35:47,712 --> 00:35:49,747
And I said, well yeah I'm,
889
00:35:49,747 --> 00:35:51,282
it might not be that hot.
890
00:35:51,282 --> 00:35:54,218
I said, but that floor is going to be
891
00:35:54,218 --> 00:35:57,221
and he just saw it that
892
00:35:57,321 --> 00:35:57,755
you know.
893
00:35:57,755 --> 00:36:00,324
typical right.
894
00:36:00,324 --> 00:36:01,792
It's not the product, it's
895
00:36:01,792 --> 00:36:03,694
something I'm doing and
896
00:36:03,694 --> 00:36:04,929
boy, did him and I
897
00:36:06,030 --> 00:36:09,500
got into a really heated discussion.
898
00:36:09,767 --> 00:36:11,202
Okay.
899
00:36:11,202 --> 00:36:14,605
And I'll tell you what his
900
00:36:16,574 --> 00:36:18,209
he called me back
901
00:36:18,209 --> 00:36:20,077
a couple of days later
902
00:36:20,077 --> 00:36:21,412
and said, you were right.
903
00:36:21,412 --> 00:36:23,414
That floor was hot.
904
00:36:23,414 --> 00:36:26,417
Wow.
905
00:36:32,056 --> 00:36:35,059
Yeah,
906
00:36:49,407 --> 00:36:52,410
yeah,
907
00:37:01,519 --> 00:37:04,522
yeah.
908
00:37:24,575 --> 00:37:25,243
Yeah.
909
00:37:25,243 --> 00:37:28,212
910
00:37:32,183 --> 00:37:35,186
Yeah.
911
00:37:46,864 --> 00:37:49,300
yeah,
912
00:37:49,300 --> 00:37:50,468
well.
913
00:37:50,468 --> 00:37:52,970
You can get those handheld infrared guns
914
00:37:52,970 --> 00:37:53,271
or whatever
915
00:37:53,271 --> 00:37:53,704
that you can,
916
00:37:53,704 --> 00:37:54,772
you can measure the surface
917
00:37:54,772 --> 00:37:55,339
temperature of,
918
00:37:55,339 --> 00:37:57,141
of, of the floor
919
00:37:57,141 --> 00:37:59,210
and it'll shock you sometimes
920
00:37:59,210 --> 00:38:01,679
how much heat can be generated
921
00:38:01,679 --> 00:38:03,047
through the, through the window
922
00:38:03,047 --> 00:38:04,015
and coming through there,
923
00:38:04,015 --> 00:38:05,916
especially in dark stains and.
924
00:38:05,916 --> 00:38:07,318
you about those thermal
925
00:38:07,318 --> 00:38:10,321
thermometers will cost you about 35 bucks
926
00:38:10,821 --> 00:38:13,791
at Home
927
00:38:16,460 --> 00:38:19,463
Yeah.
928
00:38:33,210 --> 00:38:34,245
yeah.
929
00:38:34,245 --> 00:38:37,948
So on a parquet big parquet job
930
00:38:37,948 --> 00:38:39,617
one time a guy just the
931
00:38:39,617 --> 00:38:40,751
the floor is shrunk down
932
00:38:40,751 --> 00:38:42,787
a line down the middle of the floor
933
00:38:42,787 --> 00:38:43,788
and homeowners
934
00:38:43,788 --> 00:38:45,122
I mean loaded for bear
935
00:38:45,122 --> 00:38:46,991
that you know I don't know what is
936
00:38:46,991 --> 00:38:47,992
what's going on with me.
937
00:38:47,992 --> 00:38:49,460
My floors have shrunk and whatever.
938
00:38:49,460 --> 00:38:51,362
We paid all this money for the floor,
939
00:38:51,362 --> 00:38:52,063
and I was there
940
00:38:52,063 --> 00:38:53,931
when the guy did the inspection
941
00:38:53,931 --> 00:38:56,901
and he had a he had of he goes with him
942
00:38:57,335 --> 00:38:57,735
and he
943
00:38:57,735 --> 00:38:58,602
and he just measured
944
00:38:58,602 --> 00:38:59,870
the rest of the floor
945
00:38:59,870 --> 00:39:01,172
and it was whatever,
946
00:39:01,172 --> 00:39:02,540
then put it there
947
00:39:02,540 --> 00:39:03,207
and it was like,
948
00:39:03,207 --> 00:39:04,909
wow, like 30 degrees
949
00:39:04,909 --> 00:39:06,744
hotter than the rest of floor.
950
00:39:06,744 --> 00:39:08,679
So we went underneath that
951
00:39:08,679 --> 00:39:10,214
and there's supposed to be a there
952
00:39:10,214 --> 00:39:11,682
the heat that run through there
953
00:39:11,682 --> 00:39:12,917
and there's supposed to be a shield
954
00:39:12,917 --> 00:39:13,584
on top of that
955
00:39:13,584 --> 00:39:14,819
to deflect the heat
956
00:39:14,819 --> 00:39:16,220
from getting to the floor.
957
00:39:16,220 --> 00:39:17,521
And there wasn't.
958
00:39:17,521 --> 00:39:19,957
And it really saved that guy from
959
00:39:19,957 --> 00:39:21,225
it wasn't it wasn't on him.
960
00:39:21,225 --> 00:39:22,760
It was on the heating ductwork, guys.
961
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:23,561
Whatever they didn't do,
962
00:39:23,561 --> 00:39:25,062
they didn't install them properly.
963
00:39:25,062 --> 00:39:26,564
But all the way down that one.
964
00:39:26,564 --> 00:39:27,498
That one line down.
965
00:39:27,498 --> 00:39:28,466
No, the floor.
966
00:39:28,466 --> 00:39:29,333
You saw that
967
00:39:29,333 --> 00:39:31,335
that area was the only area that shrunk.
968
00:39:31,335 --> 00:39:33,471
And when you put the heat in on it, Joe,
969
00:39:33,471 --> 00:39:35,439
the homeowner is like that's a
970
00:39:35,439 --> 00:39:36,941
that's a no brainer.
971
00:39:36,941 --> 00:39:39,744
It was game over. So
972
00:39:40,945 --> 00:39:41,812
I would have.
973
00:39:41,812 --> 00:39:44,782
Well, you know.
974
00:39:44,915 --> 00:39:47,918
Just one more.
975
00:39:49,019 --> 00:39:49,253
Yeah.
976
00:39:49,253 --> 00:39:51,756
right, Rob, So I appreciate it.
977
00:39:51,756 --> 00:39:54,925
Thanks for the info about the about the

00:39:54,925 --> 00:39:55,626

I'll get the Dew Point app myself.
980
00:39:57,361 --> 00:39:59,296
I didn't know there was an app for that.
981
00:39:59,296 --> 00:40:01,098
Seems like there's an app for everything.
982
00:40:01,098 --> 00:40:04,101
And
983
00:40:04,502 --> 00:40:04,869

HGH la ndr ebony.com

990
00:40:21,352 --> 00:40:22,586
in their disclaimer
991
00:40:22,586 --> 00:40:24,121

00:40:24,655 --> 00:40:25,856
Because these are brutal
994
00:40:25,856 --> 00:40:27,024
now and definitely, you know,
995
00:40:27,024 --> 00:40:29,627
can affect the floors Good call on that.
996
00:40:29,627 --> 00:40:30,461
You're right.
997
00:40:30,461 --> 00:40:32,396
That's a really good call, because

00:40:33,798 --> 00:40:34,765

00:40:34,765 --> 00:40:35,199

00:40:36,267 --> 00:40:37,067
at this time of year
1002
00:40:37,067 --> 00:40:38,536
with this kind of weather,
1003
00:40:38,536 --> 00:40:39,236
you're definitely going
1004
00:40:39,236 --> 00:40:40,805
to need more time.
1005
00:40:40,805 --> 00:40:42,606
Yeah yeah they've.
1006
00:40:42,606 --> 00:40:43,541
going to need more time
1007
00:40:43,541 --> 00:40:45,409
for proper drying.
1008
00:40:45,409 --> 00:40:46,510
