00:00:11,478 --> 00:00:12,979

Hello and welcome to another episode

 

2

00:00:12,979 --> 00:00:14,247

of On the Floor with Wayne and Rob.

 

3

00:00:14,247 --> 00:00:17,250

I'm Wayne Highlander with Bona adhesives.

 

4

00:00:20,854 --> 00:00:22,889

You can't quit, Rob.

 

5

00:00:22,889 --> 00:00:25,225

You're too important to me.

 

6

00:00:25,225 --> 00:00:28,228

How you doing?

 

7

00:00:31,364 --> 00:00:33,800

Okay,

 

8

00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,803

well, get to you.

 

9

00:00:37,404 --> 00:00:39,305

Well, yeah,

 

10

00:00:39,305 --> 00:00:41,574

Yeah, that.

 

11

00:00:41,574 --> 00:00:43,877

Well, the devil you know.

 

12

00:00:43,877 --> 00:00:46,880

So.

 

13

00:00:46,980 --> 00:00:49,649

All right.

 

14

00:00:49,649 --> 00:00:52,285

I appreciate you asking me, Rob.

 

15

00:00:52,285 --> 00:00:54,454

Not too good, to be honest with you.

 

16

00:00:54,454 --> 00:00:56,389

Well, a little bit annoyed.

 

17

00:00:56,389 --> 00:00:57,690

I forgot that I had.

 

18

00:00:57,690 --> 00:01:00,193

I had an annual checkup today.

 

19

00:01:00,193 --> 00:01:01,494

You remind me last night. I love the way.

 

20

00:01:01,494 --> 00:01:03,797

Do you mind me like 7:00 in Asia?

 

21

00:01:03,797 --> 00:01:04,597

Will you remember?

 

22

00:01:04,597 --> 00:01:06,199

We have doctors warning me, don't you?

 

23

00:01:06,199 --> 00:01:07,700

Well, no, I never remember.

 

24

00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:09,269

I have a doctor's appointment,

 

25

00:01:09,269 --> 00:01:10,837

and so I had a doctor's appointment

 

26

00:01:10,837 --> 00:01:12,038

at 8 a.m.,

 

27

00:01:12,038 --> 00:01:15,308

so I leave the house at 630 probably,

 

28

00:01:16,242 --> 00:01:17,377

and then get there

 

29

00:01:17,377 --> 00:01:18,211

and had to wait on her

 

30

00:01:18,211 --> 00:01:19,446

because she was with another

 

31

00:01:19,446 --> 00:01:21,114

another guy for I don't know how long.

 

32

00:01:21,114 --> 00:01:23,450

So another 30 minutes waiting there.

 

33

00:01:23,450 --> 00:01:24,417

And I drove all the way there,

 

34

00:01:24,417 --> 00:01:27,420

an hour and a half there to have her

 

35

00:01:27,420 --> 00:01:28,621

stick a finger in my butt

 

36

00:01:28,621 --> 00:01:29,422

and tell me that I need

 

37

00:01:29,422 --> 00:01:30,090

to lose some weight.

 

38

00:01:31,257 --> 00:01:33,193

I could have done that on Tinder.

 

39

00:01:33,193 --> 00:01:35,829

And have to.

 

40

00:01:35,829 --> 00:01:37,831

I didn't have to drive all the way there.

 

41

00:01:37,831 --> 00:01:40,834

And you know Let me ask you a question.

 

42

00:01:40,867 --> 00:01:41,801

So you didn't know

 

43

00:01:41,801 --> 00:01:44,003

you had a doctor's appointment

 

44

00:01:44,003 --> 00:01:47,006

know I don't put it in.

 

45

00:01:47,073 --> 00:01:47,674

Yes.

 

46

00:01:47,674 --> 00:01:50,577

Yes,

 

47

00:01:50,577 --> 00:01:51,177

I.

 

48

00:01:51,177 --> 00:01:52,979

Yes, she said I.

 

49

00:01:52,979 --> 00:01:54,614

that's your wife on there. Hi.

 

50

00:01:54,614 --> 00:01:55,482

Is that you?

 

51

00:01:55,482 --> 00:01:55,949

Your You're.

 

52

00:01:55,949 --> 00:01:56,382

00:01:56,382 --> 00:01:59,285

Yeah, but it up there again.

 

54

00:01:59,285 --> 00:02:00,220

55

00:02:00,220 --> 00:02:01,221

Yeah. She is beautiful.

 

56

00:02:01,221 --> 00:02:03,223

She's inside now.

 

57

00:02:03,223 --> 00:02:06,226

 

 

58

00:02:12,732 --> 00:02:15,235

me write this down

 

59

00:02:15,235 --> 00:02:16,636

all my, all my.

 

60

00:02:16,636 --> 00:02:18,671

 

 

61

00:02:18,671 --> 00:02:21,674

Listen.

 

62

00:02:21,875 --> 00:02:22,909

Yeah.

 

63

00:02:22,909 --> 00:02:25,044

Get out of here. 65.

 

64

00:02:25,044 --> 00:02:27,147

That's a little bit out there.

 

65

00:02:27,147 --> 00:02:28,715

You 64.

 

66

00:02:28,715 --> 00:02:31,718

Yeah.

 

67

00:02:31,751 --> 00:02:33,119

This are all

 

68

00:02:33,119 --> 00:02:36,122

my work point

 

69

00:02:37,323 --> 00:02:38,191

is duties fault.

 

70

00:02:38,191 --> 00:02:39,459

If she had not gotten in the habit

 

71

00:02:39,459 --> 00:02:40,593

of taking care of me,

 

72

00:02:40,593 --> 00:02:41,794

I would take care of myself.

 

73

00:02:48,701 --> 00:02:51,704

Yes, well,

 

74

00:02:52,906 --> 00:02:54,307

thank you.

 

75

00:02:54,307 --> 00:02:55,041

All right.

 

76

00:02:55,041 --> 00:02:56,042

Rob, I.

 

77

00:02:56,042 --> 00:02:58,344

You know, it's that time of year again.

 

78

00:02:58,344 --> 00:03:01,481

And we're going to talk about good

 

79

00:03:02,749 --> 00:03:04,884

gaps and cracks in hardwood floors.

 

80

00:03:04,884 --> 00:03:07,353

And this is the coldest it's

 

81

00:03:07,353 --> 00:03:09,355

been since I've been in Tennessee,

 

82

00:03:09,355 --> 00:03:10,290

about level two

 

83

00:03:10,290 --> 00:03:11,124

that I remember that

 

84

00:03:11,124 --> 00:03:12,725

I've been here about 11, 12 years now.

 

85

00:03:12,725 --> 00:03:17,764

And I'm sure you probably are in

 

86

00:03:17,830 --> 00:03:18,298

the Beaver

 

87

00:03:18,298 --> 00:03:19,132

is going to start

 

88

00:03:19,132 --> 00:03:20,466

getting a lot of calls on

 

89

00:03:20,466 --> 00:03:20,934

my floor

 

90

00:03:20,934 --> 00:03:22,769

is are cracking and moving and gaps

 

91

00:03:22,769 --> 00:03:25,038

and what's going on with my floors right.

 

92

00:03:25,038 --> 00:03:27,006

are getting calls to at the bone

 

93

00:03:27,006 --> 00:03:28,274

attack, like.

 

94

00:03:28,274 --> 00:03:31,277

You are

 

95

00:03:31,311 --> 00:03:33,446

as you sound out any any it's

 

96

00:03:33,446 --> 00:03:36,449

this is where it is.

 

97

00:03:39,719 --> 00:03:40,753

Yes, he did.

 

98

00:03:40,753 --> 00:03:41,788

Actually, one of the

 

99

00:03:41,788 --> 00:03:43,189

my tech calls was from my

 

100

00:03:45,491 --> 00:03:48,494

Yeah.

 

101

00:03:48,728 --> 00:03:49,329

Drastic.

 

102

00:03:49,329 --> 00:03:52,332

Yeah.

 

103

00:05:01,668 --> 00:05:02,835

Okay, let's stop right here.

 

104

00:05:02,835 --> 00:05:03,636

Chris.

 

105

00:05:03,636 --> 00:05:06,472

Let's take that whole story out.

 

106

00:05:06,472 --> 00:05:08,541

Now, wait a minute.

 

107

00:05:08,541 --> 00:05:08,975

The better

 

108

00:05:08,975 --> 00:05:10,510

nailing pattern can go to that bend.

 

109

00:05:10,510 --> 00:05:12,945

And because if you're a consumer

 

110

00:05:12,945 --> 00:05:14,047

listening to this,

 

111

00:05:14,047 --> 00:05:15,214

like we just didn't do our

 

112

00:05:15,214 --> 00:05:18,217

our customers any a service right there

 

113

00:05:18,284 --> 00:05:19,285

because they might be thinking, well,

 

114

00:05:19,285 --> 00:05:20,653

maybe it's my guy's nailing pattern.

 

115

00:05:20,653 --> 00:05:21,888

Maybe he got to go in

 

116

00:05:21,888 --> 00:05:24,891

and take the with this,

 

117

00:05:25,658 --> 00:05:27,126

they'll know.

 

118

00:05:27,126 --> 00:05:30,129

okay.

 

119

00:05:32,598 --> 00:05:33,132

Yes.

 

120

00:05:33,132 --> 00:05:34,600

But we wanted to be able to share

 

121

00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:35,401

with our customers too,

 

122

00:05:35,401 --> 00:05:36,636

if they have cracks.

 

123

00:05:36,636 --> 00:05:37,937

I'm so far ahead of my

 

124

00:05:37,937 --> 00:05:41,407

my brain in my brain is so fast.

 

125

00:05:45,845 --> 00:05:46,679

I thought you was going to say,

 

126

00:05:46,679 --> 00:05:49,582

Ellen, but. Okay. All right.

 

127

00:05:49,582 --> 00:05:49,916

All right.

 

128

00:05:49,916 --> 00:05:52,352

Well, we can talk about that, but

 

129

00:05:54,721 --> 00:05:55,288

I don't know

 

130

00:05:55,288 --> 00:05:55,888

that I'm can see

 

131

00:05:55,888 --> 00:05:56,222

I don't know where

 

132

00:05:56,222 --> 00:05:57,090

you want to start at now,

 

133

00:05:57,090 --> 00:05:57,657

because I think

 

134

00:05:57,657 --> 00:05:58,558

you screwed the whole thing up

 

135

00:05:58,558 --> 00:06:00,026

when you did that, because now

 

136

00:06:00,026 --> 00:06:03,029

you just did it.

 

137

00:06:05,998 --> 00:06:06,566

Okay.

 

138

00:06:06,566 --> 00:06:07,200

All right,

 

139

00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:07,767

took, like,

 

140

00:06:07,767 --> 00:06:10,770

ten, minutes out of the whole thing

 

141

00:06:12,138 --> 00:06:14,207

this is

 

142

00:06:14,207 --> 00:06:16,109

okay. Okay?

 

143

00:06:16,109 --> 00:06:19,078

This is a great

 

144

00:06:21,714 --> 00:06:22,949

okay is.

 

145

00:06:22,949 --> 00:06:25,952

A great story.

 

146

00:06:26,686 --> 00:06:27,487

Yeah.

 

147

00:06:27,487 --> 00:06:29,422

On, on, on. Okay.

 

148

00:06:29,422 --> 00:06:31,557

You're you're so screwed up.

 

149

00:06:31,557 --> 00:06:32,625

It's crazy to me, but.

 

150

00:06:32,625 --> 00:06:35,061

Okay, let's just keep going.

 

151

00:06:35,061 --> 00:06:37,463

All right?

 

152

00:06:37,463 --> 00:06:37,864

You are.

 

153

00:06:37,864 --> 00:06:38,965

What are you going to argue about?

 

154

00:06:38,965 --> 00:06:41,734

Some more.

 

155

00:06:41,734 --> 00:06:43,002

This is how I.

 

156

00:06:43,002 --> 00:06:45,905

This is it.

 

157

00:06:45,905 --> 00:06:48,875

Well, now that you

 

158

00:06:48,875 --> 00:06:49,642

were, you've.

 

159

00:06:49,642 --> 00:06:50,710

Dropped three F-bombs,

 

160

00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:51,844

so that can't be in the

 

161

00:06:51,844 --> 00:06:54,847

in the in the show at all.

 

162

00:06:56,616 --> 00:06:59,452

Okay.

 

163

00:06:59,452 --> 00:07:00,119

I don't.

 

164

00:07:00,119 --> 00:07:02,155

I love Chris. All right.

 

165

00:07:07,260 --> 00:07:08,728

All right.

 

166

00:07:08,728 --> 00:07:09,262

All right.

 

167

00:07:09,262 --> 00:07:11,097

We'll get back on track then.

 

168

00:07:11,097 --> 00:07:13,900

That was so anyhow.

 

169

00:07:13,900 --> 00:07:15,435

What I was going to say is

 

170

00:07:15,435 --> 00:07:16,335

I don't care

 

171

00:07:16,335 --> 00:07:18,471

if you had the best installer

 

172

00:07:18,471 --> 00:07:20,940

in in the world installing your flaws.

 

173

00:07:20,940 --> 00:07:21,874

If you have the most

 

174

00:07:21,874 --> 00:07:23,810

knowledgeable floor man,

 

175

00:07:23,810 --> 00:07:26,813

using the best techniques, using the,

 

176

00:07:26,846 --> 00:07:28,448

you know, all the tools in the box

 

177

00:07:28,448 --> 00:07:30,650

to do a perfect floor,

 

178

00:07:30,650 --> 00:07:33,519

he or she cannot stop physics

 

179

00:07:33,519 --> 00:07:34,253

when that

 

180

00:07:34,253 --> 00:07:37,256

that air starts to dry out in your house

 

181

00:07:37,523 --> 00:07:39,192

and that humidity changes

 

182

00:07:39,192 --> 00:07:41,260

and the humidity shrinks,

 

183

00:07:41,260 --> 00:07:43,529

the floors are going to shrink, too.

 

184

00:07:43,529 --> 00:07:44,464

And the good news.

 

185

00:07:44,464 --> 00:07:46,799

Is the.

 

186

00:07:46,799 --> 00:07:49,769

Gaps are considered normal.

 

187

00:07:50,002 --> 00:07:52,438

Now, how how are they considered

 

188

00:07:52,438 --> 00:07:55,408

normal, Rob?

 

189

00:07:55,741 --> 00:07:58,744

Yeah.

 

190

00:08:00,646 --> 00:08:01,447

Yes.

 

191

00:08:01,447 --> 00:08:04,450

Yeah.

 

192

00:08:05,485 --> 00:08:06,986

All right,

 

193

00:08:06,986 --> 00:08:08,788

Wayne.

 

194

00:08:08,788 --> 00:08:11,123

Here are the three traits of normal

 

195

00:08:11,123 --> 00:08:11,791

cracks.

 

196

00:08:13,259 --> 00:08:14,160

Number one,

 

197

00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,096

they close in the summer.

 

198

00:08:17,096 --> 00:08:19,198

Number two,

 

199

00:08:19,198 --> 00:08:22,201

they're all about the same exact size.

 

200

00:08:22,401 --> 00:08:25,404

they

 

201

00:08:34,213 --> 00:08:36,182

So

 

202

00:08:36,182 --> 00:08:37,250

that's normal.

 

203

00:08:37,250 --> 00:08:38,951

And that's that's normal.

 

204

00:08:38,951 --> 00:08:40,853

That's not by your standards

 

205

00:08:40,853 --> 00:08:41,721

and my standards are.

 

206

00:08:41,721 --> 00:08:44,724

Billy Bob standards.

 

207

00:08:52,565 --> 00:08:53,299

Even.

 

208

00:08:53,299 --> 00:08:54,567

Even AA.

 

209

00:08:54,567 --> 00:08:55,735

Is a.

 

210

00:08:55,735 --> 00:08:58,538

Gap are considered normal.

 

211

00:08:58,538 --> 00:09:01,340

So I'm glad you threw

 

212

00:09:01,340 --> 00:09:02,842

my FEMA in there too,

 

213

00:09:02,842 --> 00:09:04,443

for the for the sports guys.

 

214

00:09:04,443 --> 00:09:06,212

You were a come from that world.

 

215

00:09:06,212 --> 00:09:09,215

Was that a big deal in that arena?

 

216

00:09:10,416 --> 00:09:11,050

Okay.

 

217

00:09:11,050 --> 00:09:12,018

Because, you know,

 

218

00:09:12,018 --> 00:09:13,920

some of these gyms are so big,

 

219

00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,290

it's it's impossible to try to maintain.

 

220

00:09:17,290 --> 00:09:20,626

And the the level that we're looking for

 

221

00:09:21,527 --> 00:09:24,430

where a floor won't move too much

 

222

00:09:24,430 --> 00:09:28,034

is relative humidity of 35 to Yeah.

 

223

00:09:28,067 --> 00:09:31,070

Yeah,

 

224

00:09:31,804 --> 00:09:34,807

right.

 

225

00:09:55,561 --> 00:09:58,564

Yeah,

 

226

00:10:17,750 --> 00:10:20,753

That.

 

227

00:10:22,755 --> 00:10:25,758

Yeah.

 

228

00:10:37,036 --> 00:10:37,770

I can't remember.

 

229

00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,043

Yeah,

 

230

00:10:46,746 --> 00:10:49,749

yeah,

 

231

00:10:57,390 --> 00:10:57,990

yeah.

 

232

00:10:57,990 --> 00:10:59,525

You know, so.

 

233

00:10:59,525 --> 00:11:00,393

And I've said it before

 

234

00:11:00,393 --> 00:11:00,860

my floor

 

235

00:11:00,860 --> 00:11:02,428

is that there's one room in our house

 

236

00:11:02,428 --> 00:11:04,463

that is hotter than the other rooms,

 

237

00:11:04,463 --> 00:11:05,998

and Julie likes it

 

238

00:11:05,998 --> 00:11:07,667

much harder than I do.

 

239

00:11:07,667 --> 00:11:09,101

I'm always, I'm always hot

 

240

00:11:09,101 --> 00:11:09,902

and she's always cold.

 

241

00:11:09,902 --> 00:11:12,138

And that one room we watch TV

 

242

00:11:12,138 --> 00:11:13,339

for whatever reason that.

 

243

00:11:13,339 --> 00:11:13,506

Well,

 

244

00:11:13,506 --> 00:11:15,041

I know the reason that the

 

245

00:11:15,041 --> 00:11:15,808

the floors in there

 

246

00:11:15,808 --> 00:11:16,842

shrink more than any other room

 

247

00:11:16,842 --> 00:11:17,576

in the house.

 

248

00:11:17,576 --> 00:11:19,045

All the other floors in my house.

 

249

00:11:19,045 --> 00:11:20,846

Really not much shrinkage or anything,

 

250

00:11:20,846 --> 00:11:22,715

but that room. It definitely does.

 

251

00:11:22,715 --> 00:11:27,953

And I, I built a table that I had.

 

252

00:11:27,953 --> 00:11:30,690

I was in a warehouse in, in Memphis,

 

253

00:11:30,690 --> 00:11:32,058

and there was like four really

 

254

00:11:32,058 --> 00:11:33,159

there were 12 inch wide,

 

255

00:11:33,159 --> 00:11:35,127

three quarter inch,

 

256

00:11:35,127 --> 00:11:38,631

maybe an inch will inch thick boards.

 

257

00:11:38,631 --> 00:11:40,132

They're horizontal.

 

258

00:11:40,132 --> 00:11:42,568

And long story short,

 

259

00:11:42,568 --> 00:11:44,103

I made it table top out

 

260

00:11:44,103 --> 00:11:45,838

and it was beautiful.

 

261

00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:48,040

Yes, I'm

 

262

00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:48,474

going to make that

 

263

00:11:48,474 --> 00:11:51,477

in my second career up.

 

264

00:11:51,877 --> 00:11:53,846

Yes I have side hustle building tables.

 

265

00:11:53,846 --> 00:11:54,513

Yes.

 

266

00:11:54,513 --> 00:11:57,516

Yeah.

 

267

00:11:58,284 --> 00:12:00,152

No,

 

268

00:12:00,152 --> 00:12:00,853

no.

 

269

00:12:00,853 --> 00:12:04,023

No, no.

 

270

00:12:04,023 --> 00:12:05,191

Actually, there is. There is.

 

271

00:12:05,191 --> 00:12:07,827

No, but yeah, yeah, yeah.

 

272

00:12:07,827 --> 00:12:09,428

No, but that, that stain that,

 

273

00:12:09,428 --> 00:12:11,397

that table really dark

 

274

00:12:11,397 --> 00:12:12,998

and I put it together

 

275

00:12:12,998 --> 00:12:13,566

with biscuit

 

276

00:12:13,566 --> 00:12:14,834

with a biscuit joiner

 

277

00:12:14,834 --> 00:12:17,369

and it's moved so much

 

278

00:12:17,369 --> 00:12:18,904

now that I can actually look down

 

279

00:12:18,904 --> 00:12:19,638

one of the cracks

 

280

00:12:19,638 --> 00:12:20,439

and I can see the bit

 

281

00:12:20,439 --> 00:12:22,108

where the biscuits are.

 

282

00:12:22,108 --> 00:12:24,343

Now.

 

283

00:12:24,343 --> 00:12:25,077

In California

 

284

00:12:25,077 --> 00:12:25,978

we didn't really have

 

285

00:12:25,978 --> 00:12:27,413

the all the extremes

 

286

00:12:27,413 --> 00:12:28,848

humidity, wild extremes

 

287

00:12:28,848 --> 00:12:30,716

that they have back here, back east.

 

288

00:12:30,716 --> 00:12:33,719

And I remember listening to guys

 

289

00:12:34,019 --> 00:12:35,020

years ago say, yeah,

 

290

00:12:35,020 --> 00:12:36,322

when we do the like it made before,

 

291

00:12:36,322 --> 00:12:37,156

we're going to stay in the maple

 

292

00:12:37,156 --> 00:12:38,157

for that.

 

293

00:12:38,157 --> 00:12:38,891

Before we do that,

 

294

00:12:38,891 --> 00:12:39,925

we stain the tongues

 

295

00:12:39,925 --> 00:12:41,193

and grooves or whatever

 

296

00:12:41,193 --> 00:12:42,361

in case the floor moves,

 

297

00:12:42,361 --> 00:12:43,329

anticipating the floor

 

298

00:12:43,329 --> 00:12:43,929

moving a little bit.

 

299

00:12:43,929 --> 00:12:44,730

So you look down here,

 

300

00:12:44,730 --> 00:12:45,598

you see those white cracks

 

301

00:12:45,598 --> 00:12:46,799

down there, right?

 

302

00:12:46,799 --> 00:12:47,967

And I said, golly,

 

303

00:12:47,967 --> 00:12:49,268

that seems out of kind of extreme.

 

304

00:12:49,268 --> 00:12:50,202

And we I mean, I wouldn't

 

305

00:12:50,202 --> 00:12:51,103

you know, we wouldn't do that.

 

306

00:12:51,103 --> 00:12:53,572

But see, right now I can see them.

 

307

00:12:53,572 --> 00:12:55,708

So but here's my point about that.

 

308

00:12:56,876 --> 00:12:57,877

Obviously, I have an

 

309

00:12:57,877 --> 00:12:59,011

unbelievable knowledge

 

310

00:12:59,011 --> 00:13:02,014

of harbor flooring.

 

311

00:13:02,114 --> 00:13:03,883

Yes.

 

312

00:13:03,883 --> 00:13:05,451

Yeah.

 

313

00:13:05,451 --> 00:13:08,454

Thank you.

 

314

00:13:10,122 --> 00:13:10,990

Yeah.

 

315

00:13:10,990 --> 00:13:12,892

Thanks. Thanks a lot, Rob.

 

316

00:13:12,892 --> 00:13:14,226

But let's say I did

 

317

00:13:14,226 --> 00:13:15,694

and let's say I didn't know anything

 

318

00:13:15,694 --> 00:13:16,529

about hardwood floors.

 

319

00:13:16,529 --> 00:13:17,429

I'm in the tech business

 

320

00:13:17,429 --> 00:13:18,964

and I had someone install those floors

 

321

00:13:18,964 --> 00:13:20,800

and install a table or whatever,

 

322

00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,302

and I paid $60,000 for it.

 

323

00:13:23,302 --> 00:13:24,703

And then winter comes along

 

324

00:13:24,703 --> 00:13:25,504

and all sudden

 

325

00:13:25,504 --> 00:13:26,872

I see these start noticing

 

326

00:13:26,872 --> 00:13:28,240

gaps in the floor.

 

327

00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:29,375

And I don't know.

 

328

00:13:29,375 --> 00:13:31,277

All I know is I've got gaps in my floors.

 

329

00:13:31,277 --> 00:13:33,245

I would be highly alarmed by that.

 

330

00:13:33,245 --> 00:13:34,480

So my point is,

 

331

00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,015

and that you and I always talk about

 

332

00:13:36,015 --> 00:13:36,916

this is is,

 

333

00:13:36,916 --> 00:13:38,751

you know, is having that conversation

 

334

00:13:38,751 --> 00:13:40,753

and setting the customer expectations.

 

335

00:13:40,753 --> 00:13:42,955

Right. Yeah.

 

336

00:13:42,955 --> 00:13:44,390

Absolutely.

 

337

00:13:45,591 --> 00:13:47,159

But before you say anything,

 

338

00:13:47,159 --> 00:13:48,460

can I say this?

 

339

00:13:48,460 --> 00:13:50,529

So I just want to forget.

 

340

00:13:50,529 --> 00:13:53,365

So I do.

 

341

00:13:53,365 --> 00:13:56,235

But much more so when I talk.

 

342

00:13:56,235 --> 00:13:57,069

But,

 

343

00:13:57,069 --> 00:13:57,937

but let's

 

344

00:13:57,937 --> 00:14:00,472

that's a much tougher conversation.

 

345

00:14:00,472 --> 00:14:02,708

If it was never brought up at any time

 

346

00:14:02,708 --> 00:14:04,009

in the whole process.

 

347

00:14:04,009 --> 00:14:05,911

But so much easier

 

348

00:14:05,911 --> 00:14:07,680

if at the beginning of the job

 

349

00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:09,615

and maybe you have something in writing,

 

350

00:14:09,615 --> 00:14:10,983

these are normal expect

 

351

00:14:10,983 --> 00:14:12,084

is blah, blah, blah

 

352

00:14:12,084 --> 00:14:13,319

and be able to present that again.

 

353

00:14:13,319 --> 00:14:14,520

Remember we had this conversation

 

354

00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,288

or whatever and blah blah, blah.

 

355

00:14:16,288 --> 00:14:18,190

So, so, so please.

 

356

00:14:18,190 --> 00:14:20,993

I, I think talking about it is okay,

 

357

00:14:20,993 --> 00:14:21,927

but talking about it

 

358

00:14:21,927 --> 00:14:24,396

and then giving them a piece of paper

 

359

00:14:24,396 --> 00:14:26,265

is even more important.

 

360

00:14:26,265 --> 00:14:29,268

Yes.

 

361

00:14:44,283 --> 00:14:47,186

See, I'm glad you said that because.

 

362

00:14:47,186 --> 00:14:49,288

Yes, we've all been told.

 

363

00:14:49,288 --> 00:14:51,023

Yeah, of course. On expands up and down.

 

364

00:14:51,023 --> 00:14:52,391

It doesn't really shrink from,

 

365

00:14:52,391 --> 00:14:54,927

from side to side. Right. I'm not. But

 

366

00:14:57,162 --> 00:14:59,598

okay, Okay.

 

367

00:14:59,598 --> 00:15:02,601

It's only about 33% less.

 

368

00:15:02,635 --> 00:15:05,638

okay.

 

369

00:15:10,142 --> 00:15:13,145

Yes.

 

370

00:15:20,252 --> 00:15:20,886

Yes.

 

371

00:15:20,886 --> 00:15:21,253

Yeah,

 

372

00:15:21,253 --> 00:15:22,187

that's such a good point

 

373

00:15:22,187 --> 00:15:22,988

because when I was younger

 

374

00:15:22,988 --> 00:15:23,789

contractor that

 

375

00:15:23,789 --> 00:15:24,990

well there's the answer

 

376

00:15:24,990 --> 00:15:26,392

gosh if it doesn't

 

377

00:15:26,392 --> 00:15:26,759

you know

 

378

00:15:26,759 --> 00:15:29,028

expand from side to side as much

 

379

00:15:29,028 --> 00:15:31,864

and just put a quarter on down.

 

380

00:15:31,864 --> 00:15:33,899

But I don't buy I don't buy into it.

 

381

00:15:33,899 --> 00:15:35,067

No part of that.

 

382

00:15:35,067 --> 00:15:36,535

And I don't care what they say,

 

383

00:15:36,535 --> 00:15:39,038

it'll move it just like planes.

 

384

00:15:39,038 --> 00:15:40,806

I will move now.

 

385

00:15:40,806 --> 00:15:43,809

like I said, it's one third or Yeah.

 

386

00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:48,247

Yes.

 

387

00:15:48,247 --> 00:15:51,250

However.

 

388

00:15:55,521 --> 00:15:56,255

Yeah.

 

389

00:15:56,255 --> 00:15:59,158

Now riffs on is more stable

 

390

00:15:59,158 --> 00:16:01,026

I do believe riffs on is more stable

 

391

00:16:01,026 --> 00:16:02,594

then than the drifting quarter.

 

392

00:16:02,594 --> 00:16:04,596

So the because it's.

 

393

00:16:04,596 --> 00:16:04,897

It's.

 

394

00:16:04,897 --> 00:16:07,499

The you know, it's all the same cut

 

395

00:16:07,499 --> 00:16:08,667

it can still move

 

396

00:16:08,667 --> 00:16:10,736

but it will definitely move less.

 

397

00:16:10,736 --> 00:16:12,671

No. Question about that.

 

398

00:16:12,671 --> 00:16:16,141

So let's get into some of that.

 

399

00:16:16,942 --> 00:16:20,112

What effects what affects the

 

400

00:16:20,179 --> 00:16:23,048

effects, the gap size in the floors

 

401

00:16:23,048 --> 00:16:23,882

And we just up.

 

402

00:16:25,751 --> 00:16:27,286

Okay.

 

403

00:16:27,286 --> 00:16:29,221

Okay. Sorry.

 

404

00:16:29,221 --> 00:16:29,788

Yeah.

 

405

00:16:29,788 --> 00:16:30,255

Yeah,

 

406

00:16:30,255 --> 00:16:31,991

I know you just have so much to say,

 

407

00:16:31,991 --> 00:16:33,625

and you can't wait to say know.

 

408

00:16:33,625 --> 00:16:35,661

I just I just didn't

 

409

00:16:35,661 --> 00:16:38,664

I just didn't anticipate it.

 

410

00:16:38,731 --> 00:16:40,566

Shout over me some more.

 

411

00:16:40,566 --> 00:16:41,834

Yeah. Yeah.

 

412

00:16:41,834 --> 00:16:42,835

I just moved out.

 

413

00:16:42,835 --> 00:16:43,969

I didn't anticipate you having.

 

414

00:16:43,969 --> 00:16:45,437

Anything, but I'm.

 

415

00:16:45,437 --> 00:16:46,872

Always surprised when you do.

 

416

00:16:46,872 --> 00:16:49,775

So. Please.

 

417

00:16:49,775 --> 00:16:50,175

Where?

 

418

00:16:50,175 --> 00:16:51,944

I live in the Albany area.

 

419

00:16:51,944 --> 00:16:52,344

Okay.

 

420

00:16:52,344 --> 00:16:55,347

I live just outside of Albany, New York.

 

421

00:16:56,048 --> 00:16:59,051

There's a lot of beach around here.

 

422

00:16:59,451 --> 00:17:02,454

Beach.

 

423

00:17:04,456 --> 00:17:06,358

I was thinking

 

424

00:17:06,358 --> 00:17:07,693

Beach.

 

425

00:17:07,693 --> 00:17:08,260

Yeah.

 

426

00:17:08,260 --> 00:17:10,529

See?

 

427

00:17:10,529 --> 00:17:13,532

All right, All right.

 

428

00:17:30,716 --> 00:17:33,719

Yeah.

 

429

00:17:38,190 --> 00:17:38,557

okay.

 

430

00:17:38,557 --> 00:17:39,591

talking about the rift

 

431

00:17:39,591 --> 00:17:40,726

in the courtyard and stuff.

 

432

00:17:40,726 --> 00:17:43,095

So I just wanted to throw that out there,

 

433

00:17:43,095 --> 00:17:45,197

especially for the people who live around

 

434

00:17:45,197 --> 00:17:45,831

where I live.

 

435

00:17:45,831 --> 00:17:48,600

We do run into a lot of beach.

 

436

00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:49,168

Okay.

 

437

00:17:49,168 --> 00:17:50,736

So it's interesting, I

 

438

00:17:50,736 --> 00:17:53,138

we rarely had beach.

 

439

00:17:53,138 --> 00:17:54,440

Flooring.

 

440

00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,409

Where we lived, and it is notoriously,

 

441

00:17:58,377 --> 00:17:58,877

you know.

 

442

00:17:58,877 --> 00:18:02,114

We.

 

443

00:18:02,114 --> 00:18:05,117

Call it the most immediately stable.

 

444

00:18:09,088 --> 00:18:10,923

Yes.

 

445

00:18:10,923 --> 00:18:11,190

Yeah.

 

446

00:18:11,190 --> 00:18:12,991

Thank you so and so.

 

447

00:18:12,991 --> 00:18:13,826

But that comes

 

448

00:18:13,826 --> 00:18:15,694

to the point of species, right?

 

449

00:18:15,694 --> 00:18:17,129

I mean, we talked about the quarters

 

450

00:18:17,129 --> 00:18:18,130

on the cut of the wood

 

451

00:18:18,130 --> 00:18:19,531

can definitely make a difference

 

452

00:18:19,531 --> 00:18:20,833

or make somewhat of a difference,

 

453

00:18:20,833 --> 00:18:21,333

I believe

 

454

00:18:21,333 --> 00:18:23,001

not as much as

 

455

00:18:23,001 --> 00:18:24,970

you know, sometimes we believe it to be,

 

456

00:18:24,970 --> 00:18:27,206

but definitely the

 

457

00:18:27,206 --> 00:18:28,407

the species of wood definitely

 

458

00:18:28,407 --> 00:18:30,342

can make a big difference on it.

 

459

00:18:30,342 --> 00:18:35,214

So the other thing that can affect the

 

460

00:18:35,214 --> 00:18:37,015

the Gap appearance is

 

461

00:18:37,015 --> 00:18:40,018

I talked about staining the wood.

 

462

00:18:40,085 --> 00:18:43,088

You know, sometimes

 

463

00:18:43,222 --> 00:18:44,123

lighter species

 

464

00:18:44,123 --> 00:18:44,890

or whatever

 

465

00:18:44,890 --> 00:18:45,958

the darkness of the species

 

466

00:18:45,958 --> 00:18:46,558

can make a difference

 

467

00:18:46,558 --> 00:18:47,392

on how the gaps look.

 

468

00:18:47,392 --> 00:18:50,462

Because if you have a gap for this maple

 

469

00:18:51,497 --> 00:18:53,265

that really tends to show up

 

470

00:18:53,265 --> 00:18:54,199

gaps big time.

 

471

00:18:54,199 --> 00:18:55,300

So like a piano keys, right?

 

472

00:18:55,300 --> 00:18:57,169

Because it's such a blond wood

 

473

00:18:57,169 --> 00:18:59,705

and you see that one move and, and,

 

474

00:18:59,705 --> 00:19:02,407

and that is highly noticeable sometimes.

 

475

00:19:02,407 --> 00:19:02,774

Yeah.

 

476

00:19:02,774 --> 00:19:05,077

We've painted gym floors,

 

477

00:19:05,077 --> 00:19:05,377

you know,

 

478

00:19:05,377 --> 00:19:06,612

solid paint, the keys

 

479

00:19:06,612 --> 00:19:08,380

and things like that.

 

480

00:19:08,380 --> 00:19:10,816

Dark black, navy, blue, whatever.

 

481

00:19:10,816 --> 00:19:13,819

And then when that crack opens up, yeah

 

482

00:19:15,220 --> 00:19:18,056

it

 

483

00:19:18,056 --> 00:19:20,926

you.

 

484

00:19:20,926 --> 00:19:22,094

Know, I was just going to say

 

485

00:19:22,094 --> 00:19:22,861

you could have a

 

486

00:19:22,861 --> 00:19:24,463

like a more of a rustic floor

 

487

00:19:24,463 --> 00:19:27,466

like a, like a,

 

488

00:19:27,599 --> 00:19:29,835

like a face on floor.

 

489

00:19:29,835 --> 00:19:30,736

You know what I mean.

 

490

00:19:30,736 --> 00:19:33,205

And, and have kind of a darker floor

 

491

00:19:33,205 --> 00:19:35,174

with fairly, fairly, you know,

 

492

00:19:35,174 --> 00:19:36,842

gapping or whatever,

 

493

00:19:36,842 --> 00:19:39,912

not be that nearly as objectionable

 

494

00:19:39,912 --> 00:19:41,513

as say a maple floor

 

495

00:19:41,513 --> 00:19:44,216

that that has even smaller gaps

 

496

00:19:44,216 --> 00:19:45,517

just because

 

497

00:19:45,517 --> 00:19:46,552

there's a difference in the wood

 

498

00:19:46,552 --> 00:19:47,853

and whatever in the colors

 

499

00:19:47,853 --> 00:19:48,554

there really does

 

500

00:19:48,554 --> 00:19:49,421

make a bit of a difference.

 

501

00:19:51,690 --> 00:19:53,058

So I'm glad

 

502

00:19:53,058 --> 00:19:54,226

we're talking about color

 

503

00:19:54,226 --> 00:19:56,094

because I'm going to

 

504

00:19:56,094 --> 00:19:58,130

I'm going to tell everybody a story.

 

505

00:19:58,130 --> 00:20:01,133

And hopefully you learn from this story.

 

506

00:20:01,300 --> 00:20:04,036

Okay. Peter and I did.

 

507

00:20:04,036 --> 00:20:05,804

This is back in the eighties

 

508

00:20:05,804 --> 00:20:08,607

and we did a white stain job, about a 900

 

509

00:20:08,607 --> 00:20:11,643

foot job in Albany, and we killed it.

 

510

00:20:11,677 --> 00:20:13,979

It looked awesome.

 

511

00:20:13,979 --> 00:20:14,746

Okay.

 

512

00:20:14,746 --> 00:20:17,282

Beautiful. Perfect.

 

513

00:20:17,282 --> 00:20:18,116

We got paid.

 

514

00:20:18,116 --> 00:20:20,485

Everything was great.

 

515

00:20:20,485 --> 00:20:23,488

But like I said, this was done in July.

 

516

00:20:24,523 --> 00:20:27,793

I got a call from her in February,

 

517

00:20:28,594 --> 00:20:29,328

and she's like,

 

518

00:20:29,328 --> 00:20:31,063

There's streaks everywhere.

 

519

00:20:31,063 --> 00:20:33,865

There's black streaks everywhere.

 

520

00:20:33,865 --> 00:20:35,801

Now,

 

521

00:20:35,801 --> 00:20:38,403

just over your shoulder,

 

522

00:20:38,403 --> 00:20:41,406

you see the color of that molding

 

523

00:20:41,473 --> 00:20:44,209

in your house there.

 

524

00:20:44,209 --> 00:20:44,743

Turn around.

 

525

00:20:44,743 --> 00:20:46,478

Look

 

526

00:20:46,478 --> 00:20:49,481

And white molding.

 

527

00:20:49,748 --> 00:20:51,516

Yeah that's a.

 

528

00:20:51,516 --> 00:20:54,519

It's an antique armoire.

 

529

00:20:58,423 --> 00:20:59,124

It's a curtain.

 

530

00:21:05,797 --> 00:21:06,231

Well, you.

 

531

00:21:06,231 --> 00:21:09,234

Look at it, it's a chair.

 

532

00:21:10,636 --> 00:21:13,639

Yes, yes.

 

533

00:21:16,808 --> 00:21:18,010

For the listeners, it's more of a

 

534

00:21:18,010 --> 00:21:19,177

kind of like a medium brown

 

535

00:21:19,177 --> 00:21:22,180

kind of color.

 

536

00:21:25,684 --> 00:21:28,687

Okay.

 

537

00:21:31,890 --> 00:21:34,893

Yeah.

 

538

00:22:12,331 --> 00:22:13,765

And thank thank.

 

539

00:22:13,765 --> 00:22:16,768

Thanks for clearing that up.

 

540

00:23:26,338 --> 00:23:29,341

Yep,

 

541

00:23:52,063 --> 00:23:55,033

yep.

 

542

00:23:59,237 --> 00:24:00,739

And to your point,

 

543

00:24:00,739 --> 00:24:03,041

I was talking to what I said.

 

544

00:24:03,041 --> 00:24:03,842

It was at a hockey game.

 

545

00:24:03,842 --> 00:24:04,810

I was with a.

 

546

00:24:04,810 --> 00:24:06,044

A.

 

547

00:24:06,044 --> 00:24:07,479

Decorator, interior designer,

 

548

00:24:07,479 --> 00:24:08,180

and she said,

 

549

00:24:08,180 --> 00:24:10,415

we are 100% going away from the great

 

550

00:24:10,415 --> 00:24:12,317

and we're going into the natural colors

 

551

00:24:12,317 --> 00:24:13,318

and the reason for that.

 

552

00:24:13,318 --> 00:24:16,221

She said, is because a covered

 

553

00:24:16,221 --> 00:24:17,122

people were sitting there

 

554

00:24:17,122 --> 00:24:17,856

in their houses

 

555

00:24:17,856 --> 00:24:19,591

with those gray floors and it's kind of,

 

556

00:24:19,591 --> 00:24:21,593

you know, more depressing or whatever.

 

557

00:24:21,593 --> 00:24:22,360

And then they want to

 

558

00:24:22,360 --> 00:24:24,329

light the three floors

 

559

00:24:24,329 --> 00:24:26,731

and and so they want they

 

560

00:24:26,731 --> 00:24:28,567

you know, that's kind of the look now.

 

561

00:24:28,567 --> 00:24:31,102

So it's, you know.

 

562

00:24:31,102 --> 00:24:31,603

It's coming.

 

563

00:24:34,005 --> 00:24:36,975

Yeah, yeah.

 

564

00:24:39,778 --> 00:24:42,013

Wow.

 

565

00:24:42,013 --> 00:24:44,616

I remember her

 

566

00:24:44,616 --> 00:24:45,016

peach.

 

567

00:24:45,016 --> 00:24:45,650

So I said, well,

 

568

00:24:45,650 --> 00:24:46,718

I'll get somebody

 

569

00:24:46,718 --> 00:24:47,352

to come out

 

570

00:24:47,352 --> 00:24:47,986

and, you know,

 

571

00:24:47,986 --> 00:24:50,388

inspect and blah, blah, blah.

 

572

00:24:50,388 --> 00:24:52,023

And this was like

 

573

00:24:52,023 --> 00:24:53,124

I said, it was like February.

 

574

00:24:53,124 --> 00:24:55,227

And so Pete

 

575

00:24:55,227 --> 00:24:56,394

now driving away, and he goes,

 

576

00:24:56,394 --> 00:24:57,562

What the hell are we going to do?

 

577

00:24:57,562 --> 00:25:00,565

We can't afford to replace

 

578

00:25:09,808 --> 00:25:12,277

Yep,

 

579

00:25:12,277 --> 00:25:15,280

yep.

 

580

00:25:16,181 --> 00:25:19,184

It

 

581

00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,422

Yeah, yep,

 

582

00:25:24,422 --> 00:25:27,425

yep,

 

583

00:25:28,293 --> 00:25:31,296

yeah, yeah.

 

584

00:25:31,997 --> 00:25:35,000

And

 

585

00:25:44,109 --> 00:25:45,844

wow.

 

586

00:25:45,844 --> 00:25:49,981

Well, After that, after that,

 

587

00:25:50,715 --> 00:25:52,918

everybody got a lecture

 

588

00:25:52,918 --> 00:25:54,319

and I would take it,

 

589

00:25:54,319 --> 00:25:56,888

you know, everybody got the lecture

 

590

00:25:56,888 --> 00:25:59,424

during the estimates and everything,

 

591

00:25:59,424 --> 00:26:00,492

but I wish I had taken it

 

592

00:26:00,492 --> 00:26:03,461

a step further and given them something

 

593

00:26:03,461 --> 00:26:06,298

Yeah,

 

594

00:26:06,298 --> 00:26:09,301

yeah, yeah.

 

595

00:26:09,334 --> 00:26:09,534

yeah.

 

596

00:26:09,534 --> 00:26:10,368

Sometimes the lessons

 

597

00:26:10,368 --> 00:26:11,102

we learned, we learned,

 

598

00:26:11,102 --> 00:26:12,971

we learned the hard way, you know?

 

599

00:26:12,971 --> 00:26:15,373

And

 

600

00:26:15,373 --> 00:26:15,974

we talked about

 

601

00:26:15,974 --> 00:26:17,008

the width of the boards too.

 

602

00:26:17,008 --> 00:26:17,976

Can make a big difference.

 

603

00:26:17,976 --> 00:26:19,210

I mean, a five inch board

 

604

00:26:19,210 --> 00:26:20,745

will shrink twice as much as a two

 

605

00:26:20,745 --> 00:26:22,147

and a quarter inch board.

 

606

00:26:22,147 --> 00:26:23,515

So rather than small,

 

607

00:26:23,515 --> 00:26:24,416

we have a lot of more

 

608

00:26:24,416 --> 00:26:25,884

like small hairline gaps.

 

609

00:26:25,884 --> 00:26:27,252

We may not even notice.

 

610

00:26:27,252 --> 00:26:27,986

You have a tendency

 

611

00:26:27,986 --> 00:26:30,255

sometimes have just bigger gaps

 

612

00:26:30,255 --> 00:26:32,724

and sometimes it becomes more noticeable

 

613

00:26:32,724 --> 00:26:34,893

and

 

614

00:26:34,893 --> 00:26:35,961

the whole

 

615

00:26:35,961 --> 00:26:37,262

the whole answer to

 

616

00:26:37,262 --> 00:26:39,197

this is adding humidity. Right.

 

617

00:26:39,197 --> 00:26:40,966

And that's that's bringing more.

 

618

00:26:40,966 --> 00:26:43,401

And it's interesting to me because

 

619

00:26:43,401 --> 00:26:44,336

sometimes you look at a floor

 

620

00:26:44,336 --> 00:26:45,670

is really gapped out.

 

621

00:26:45,670 --> 00:26:46,538

The first thing I kind of do

 

622

00:26:46,538 --> 00:26:48,406

is I start looking at the quarters on the

 

623

00:26:48,406 --> 00:26:51,042

at the very called the

 

624

00:26:51,042 --> 00:26:53,612

crown molding, crown molding

 

625

00:26:55,180 --> 00:26:56,481

the doors and other things

 

626

00:26:56,481 --> 00:26:57,449

that are moving cabinets

 

627

00:26:57,449 --> 00:26:58,550

that have kind of gap tablets.

 

628

00:26:58,550 --> 00:26:59,784

Nobody seems to really notice them

 

629

00:26:59,784 --> 00:27:00,752

as much as they do the floor.

 

630

00:27:00,752 --> 00:27:00,952

Right.

 

631

00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:01,653

And always looking up

 

632

00:27:01,653 --> 00:27:02,654

at the crown molding.

 

633

00:27:02,654 --> 00:27:05,657

And you certainly.

 

634

00:27:06,191 --> 00:27:08,226

Get, you know, the the.

 

635

00:27:08,226 --> 00:27:11,229

no, no, no, no, no, no.

 

636

00:27:11,896 --> 00:27:12,330

No.

 

637

00:27:12,330 --> 00:27:14,199

I don't I don't as I would

 

638

00:27:14,199 --> 00:27:15,200

say, you certainly know the

 

639

00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:16,134

I don't have to tell you,

 

640

00:27:16,134 --> 00:27:19,137

you're preaching to the choir.

 

641

00:27:21,506 --> 00:27:24,509

But you think I'm going to say,

 

642

00:27:26,444 --> 00:27:27,912

So the other thing

 

643

00:27:27,912 --> 00:27:29,280

that's kind of interesting to me is like,

 

644

00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:29,714

you know, okay,

 

645

00:27:29,714 --> 00:27:31,850

so we see a lot of engineered floors

 

646

00:27:31,850 --> 00:27:33,451

now in the industry, right?

 

647

00:27:33,451 --> 00:27:36,054

And a lot of the reason the folks like Go

 

648

00:27:36,054 --> 00:27:37,722

the Engineered Floor is because the

 

649

00:27:37,722 --> 00:27:38,590

the notion that they're

 

650

00:27:38,590 --> 00:27:39,457

more dominantly stable.

 

651

00:27:40,992 --> 00:27:41,960

So but that.

 

652

00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:42,961

That's.

 

653

00:27:42,961 --> 00:27:45,964

Not always case.

 

654

00:28:00,412 --> 00:28:04,582

So I put in an engineered floor

 

655

00:28:05,283 --> 00:28:07,352

because, you know, the heat is crazy

 

656

00:28:07,352 --> 00:28:09,187

in one part of the house with a fireplace

 

657

00:28:09,187 --> 00:28:10,221

and it's cold in the other

 

658

00:28:10,221 --> 00:28:11,656

and brought it out of there.

 

659

00:28:11,656 --> 00:28:14,359

And he was telling me, can't believe

 

660

00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,362

how much is engineered Floor shrunk

 

661

00:28:18,129 --> 00:28:20,265

because of him

 

662

00:28:20,265 --> 00:28:23,268

not being able to maintain

 

663

00:28:23,902 --> 00:28:26,905

Yeah.

 

664

00:28:38,083 --> 00:28:41,086

Yep, yep,

 

665

00:28:41,219 --> 00:28:44,222

yep.

 

666

00:28:48,093 --> 00:28:49,060

Well.

 

667

00:28:49,060 --> 00:28:50,128

Here's the other thing, too,

 

668

00:28:50,128 --> 00:28:53,131

is I think that in the

 

669

00:28:53,298 --> 00:28:54,866

I get my

 

670

00:28:54,866 --> 00:28:55,633

I know at the end of it

 

671

00:28:55,633 --> 00:28:56,334

they would say on this,

 

672

00:28:56,334 --> 00:28:56,668

I think

 

673

00:28:56,668 --> 00:28:58,136

I'll just say

 

674

00:28:58,136 --> 00:28:59,804

what my experience has been.

 

675

00:28:59,804 --> 00:29:02,073

I engineered floors.

 

676

00:29:02,073 --> 00:29:03,174

Well there's a couple things.

 

677

00:29:03,174 --> 00:29:04,209

One is like

 

678

00:29:04,209 --> 00:29:05,443

you know you can make spaghetti,

 

679

00:29:05,443 --> 00:29:06,745

you make a world class spaghetti.

 

680

00:29:06,745 --> 00:29:08,113

You do that recipe, you say,

 

681

00:29:08,113 --> 00:29:09,280

yes, it's phenomenal.

 

682

00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:10,849

And I can make spaghetti,

 

683

00:29:10,849 --> 00:29:12,050

which is going to be terrible.

 

684

00:29:12,050 --> 00:29:13,518

But they're both spaghetti,

 

685

00:29:13,518 --> 00:29:14,119

you know what I mean?

 

686

00:29:14,119 --> 00:29:15,286

There's engineered floors.

 

687

00:29:15,286 --> 00:29:15,720

Doesn't mean

 

688

00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,355

every engineered floor is built the same.

 

689

00:29:17,355 --> 00:29:18,189

There are good ones in there.

 

690

00:29:18,189 --> 00:29:18,556

Bad ones,

 

691

00:29:18,556 --> 00:29:20,291

just like everything else, right?

 

692

00:29:20,291 --> 00:29:22,193

Yeah. They. They for what you get.

 

693

00:29:22,193 --> 00:29:24,095

And also engineered floors,

 

694

00:29:25,597 --> 00:29:26,564

if you're outside the

 

695

00:29:26,564 --> 00:29:28,533

moisture limits

 

696

00:29:28,533 --> 00:29:30,335

or the moisture is a little too high.

 

697

00:29:30,335 --> 00:29:32,704

Engineered floors handle that better.

 

698

00:29:32,704 --> 00:29:34,439

That's the solid four

 

699

00:29:34,439 --> 00:29:36,241

I think that's fair to say.

 

700

00:29:36,241 --> 00:29:36,975

But when you.

 

701

00:29:36,975 --> 00:29:39,544

Get a.

 

702

00:29:39,544 --> 00:29:41,646

Too little moisture

 

703

00:29:41,646 --> 00:29:42,914

some engineer for is don't handle

 

704

00:29:42,914 --> 00:29:43,815

that near as good

 

705

00:29:43,815 --> 00:29:44,682

he can get face

 

706

00:29:44,682 --> 00:29:45,984

checking issues and stuff like that.

 

707

00:29:45,984 --> 00:29:46,985

Right.

 

708

00:29:46,985 --> 00:29:48,353

And that's why

 

709

00:29:48,353 --> 00:29:49,587

I think some manufacturers

 

710

00:29:49,587 --> 00:29:50,355

will disguise it.

 

711

00:29:50,355 --> 00:29:50,755

We're like,

 

712

00:29:50,755 --> 00:29:51,823

if you do like

 

713

00:29:51,823 --> 00:29:53,491

we call a wire

 

714

00:29:53,491 --> 00:29:54,125

brush floor

 

715

00:29:54,125 --> 00:29:55,126

and there's, you know,

 

716

00:29:55,126 --> 00:29:55,727

there's ways

 

717

00:29:55,727 --> 00:29:56,594

you can kind of disguise

 

718

00:29:56,594 --> 00:29:58,096

that look a little bit.

 

719

00:29:58,096 --> 00:29:59,164

But but, you know,

 

720

00:29:59,164 --> 00:30:00,532

that becomes an issue now.

 

721

00:30:00,532 --> 00:30:02,367

So don't think that,

 

722

00:30:02,367 --> 00:30:02,801

for instance,

 

723

00:30:02,801 --> 00:30:04,169

I know

 

724

00:30:04,169 --> 00:30:06,738

some species of of engineered floors.

 

725

00:30:06,738 --> 00:30:08,473

You put them in the Rocky Mountains.

 

726

00:30:08,473 --> 00:30:09,107

And.

 

727

00:30:09,107 --> 00:30:10,675

God help you,

 

728

00:30:10,675 --> 00:30:10,909

you know,

 

729

00:30:10,909 --> 00:30:11,876

I mean, you can get face

 

730

00:30:11,876 --> 00:30:13,178

shaking issues and stuff like that.

 

731

00:30:13,178 --> 00:30:13,978

It's a whole different,

 

732

00:30:13,978 --> 00:30:16,981

a whole different set of of challenges.

 

733

00:30:17,081 --> 00:30:19,784

So this whole dry yeah.

 

734

00:30:19,784 --> 00:30:21,352

So we're in that instance,

 

735

00:30:21,352 --> 00:30:23,321

some guys won't put an engineered floors

 

736

00:30:23,321 --> 00:30:24,255

in that environment.

 

737

00:30:24,255 --> 00:30:25,423

They'll go more like they put.

 

738

00:30:25,423 --> 00:30:27,725

A solid floor.

 

739

00:30:28,827 --> 00:30:30,028

But again, it's all

 

740

00:30:30,028 --> 00:30:33,031

comes down to customer expectations.

 

741

00:30:36,768 --> 00:30:38,036

environmental

 

742

00:30:38,036 --> 00:30:41,039

interior environmental control you do,

 

743

00:30:41,306 --> 00:30:44,309

the worse your gapping is going to be.

 

744

00:30:44,776 --> 00:30:46,444

And like you said, you know, we're

 

745

00:30:46,444 --> 00:30:47,846

both laughing because you go, yeah,

 

746

00:30:47,846 --> 00:30:49,881

I live off grid.

 

747

00:30:49,881 --> 00:30:51,482

So,

 

748

00:30:51,482 --> 00:30:51,916

you know,

 

749

00:30:51,916 --> 00:30:53,885

I don't have any control over anything.

 

750

00:30:53,885 --> 00:30:54,652

I was like, Yeah.

 

751

00:30:54,652 --> 00:30:57,755

And but he thought the answer to his life

 

752

00:30:57,755 --> 00:30:58,356

was going to be

 

753

00:30:58,356 --> 00:30:59,490

put in an engineered floor.

 

754

00:30:59,490 --> 00:31:01,226

And because it's never going to move

 

755

00:31:01,226 --> 00:31:04,229

because some engineered floor

 

756

00:31:04,929 --> 00:31:06,698

So

 

757

00:31:06,698 --> 00:31:08,299

it's interesting to me too

 

758

00:31:08,299 --> 00:31:09,701

that in the wintertime

 

759

00:31:09,701 --> 00:31:10,768

one of the challenges yet

 

760

00:31:10,768 --> 00:31:11,836

you know we want that

 

761

00:31:11,836 --> 00:31:13,238

you said at the beginning of the show

 

762

00:31:13,238 --> 00:31:16,474

at 35 to 55, our age is where

 

763

00:31:16,474 --> 00:31:18,042

we want the floors to be

 

764

00:31:18,042 --> 00:31:18,910

for the health of the floor

 

765

00:31:18,910 --> 00:31:20,612

and everything. Yeah.

 

766

00:31:20,612 --> 00:31:22,146

So when your window manufacturers

 

767

00:31:22,146 --> 00:31:24,549

will tell you much less than that

 

768

00:31:24,549 --> 00:31:26,084

and what they're concerned about

 

769

00:31:26,084 --> 00:31:28,753

is the condensation on the windows.

 

770

00:31:28,753 --> 00:31:29,888

You see the

 

771

00:31:29,888 --> 00:31:31,689

the sweaty windows

 

772

00:31:31,689 --> 00:31:33,524

and this type of thing.

 

773

00:31:33,524 --> 00:31:34,659

Right. In the wintertime.

 

774

00:31:42,667 --> 00:31:43,568

Okay.

 

775

00:31:43,568 --> 00:31:44,836

That was crazy.

 

776

00:31:44,836 --> 00:31:47,839

Yeah,

 

777

00:31:59,384 --> 00:32:02,387

Yeah.

 

778

00:32:17,869 --> 00:32:20,438

Well,

 

779

00:32:20,438 --> 00:32:23,441

and

 

780

00:32:33,851 --> 00:32:36,854

yeah,

 

781

00:32:46,364 --> 00:32:47,465

Wow.

 

782

00:32:47,465 --> 00:32:49,600

It's it's such a challenge

 

783

00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:50,768

in the design of a house.

 

784

00:32:50,768 --> 00:32:52,236

And by the way, these aren't

 

785

00:32:52,236 --> 00:32:53,171

the fix on these

 

786

00:32:53,171 --> 00:32:55,573

things aren't a hardwood floor, guys.

 

787

00:32:55,573 --> 00:32:57,709

It's not a harder for guys job

 

788

00:32:57,709 --> 00:32:59,010

to fix all these things.

 

789

00:32:59,010 --> 00:33:02,013

You know, the, you know, your HBC and

 

790

00:33:02,380 --> 00:33:03,514

that goes into a home.

 

791

00:33:03,514 --> 00:33:05,683

The design that goes into the home,

 

792

00:33:05,683 --> 00:33:08,119

the the the windows and then the

 

793

00:33:08,119 --> 00:33:08,753

what do you use

 

794

00:33:08,753 --> 00:33:10,054

the dual pane windows

 

795

00:33:10,054 --> 00:33:11,155

or all these different things.

 

796

00:33:11,155 --> 00:33:14,993

And we try to use windows that protect

 

797

00:33:14,993 --> 00:33:15,893

the RH and everything.

 

798

00:33:15,893 --> 00:33:16,361

Those are it's

 

799

00:33:16,361 --> 00:33:17,362

not the job of the hardwood

 

800

00:33:17,362 --> 00:33:18,696

floor contractor,

 

801

00:33:18,696 --> 00:33:19,163

you know,

 

802

00:33:19,163 --> 00:33:20,365

I mean we have to deal with

 

803

00:33:20,365 --> 00:33:21,766

those type of the fallout of that.

 

804

00:33:21,766 --> 00:33:23,001

But that's really not the,

 

805

00:33:23,001 --> 00:33:24,202

you know, that's the builder.

 

806

00:33:24,202 --> 00:33:27,538

And as other other conversations and

 

807

00:33:28,072 --> 00:33:29,574

the AC guy and everything

 

808

00:33:29,574 --> 00:33:31,676

and adding a humidifier or

 

809

00:33:31,676 --> 00:33:34,145

look to the builder who told in the home

 

810

00:33:34,145 --> 00:33:35,546

he also knows the challenges

 

811

00:33:35,546 --> 00:33:36,280

he knows by now

 

812

00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:37,248

if he's experienced builder

 

813

00:33:37,248 --> 00:33:38,616

that in the wintertime

 

814

00:33:38,616 --> 00:33:40,118

that these could be but

 

815

00:33:40,118 --> 00:33:42,754

but you know so adding

 

816

00:33:42,754 --> 00:33:44,422

a humidifier should be on his bucket

 

817

00:33:44,422 --> 00:33:46,457

list of things to do when you think

 

818

00:33:46,457 --> 00:33:48,860

but it always comes down to the floor guy

 

819

00:33:48,860 --> 00:33:51,529

was really unfair to the floor guy. So

 

820

00:33:57,702 --> 00:34:00,705

wow

 

821

00:34:07,211 --> 00:34:10,214

yep

 

822

00:34:13,484 --> 00:34:15,686

interesting

 

823

00:34:15,686 --> 00:34:16,754

and I think I turned it.

 

824

00:34:16,754 --> 00:34:19,724

I said, I think I turned it up to 55,

 

825

00:34:20,792 --> 00:34:23,327

so it will kick off after 55 or whatever.

 

826

00:34:23,327 --> 00:34:25,029

We had a pretty good dehumidifier now,

 

827

00:34:25,029 --> 00:34:29,133

but I was just blown away in that graph.

 

828

00:34:29,167 --> 00:34:30,201

Okay.

 

829

00:34:30,201 --> 00:34:31,569

So what the graph was that

 

830

00:34:31,569 --> 00:34:32,203

he sent me, it

 

831

00:34:32,203 --> 00:34:35,306

said, if your outdoor temp is 40 degrees,

 

832

00:34:35,973 --> 00:34:36,774

your indoor

 

833

00:34:36,774 --> 00:34:39,777

relative humidity should be 45.

 

834

00:34:39,911 --> 00:34:41,746

And then it went down from there.

 

835

00:34:41,746 --> 00:34:44,749

So outside temp is 30.

 

836

00:34:44,749 --> 00:34:47,752

Indoor relative humidity is 40.

 

837

00:34:47,752 --> 00:34:50,154

The other night I went to bed

 

838

00:34:50,154 --> 00:34:51,889

and it was outside.

 

839

00:34:51,889 --> 00:34:53,791

It was -12.

 

840

00:34:53,791 --> 00:34:57,128

So the indoor relative humidity

 

841

00:34:57,395 --> 00:34:58,963

should have been around

 

842

00:34:58,963 --> 00:35:01,099

15 to 20, which I was like,

 

843

00:35:01,099 --> 00:35:02,834

I don't know how much of this graph

 

844

00:35:02,834 --> 00:35:03,835

I'm going to you know,

 

845

00:35:03,835 --> 00:35:04,802

I don't know how low

 

846

00:35:05,803 --> 00:35:08,806

yeah

 

847

00:35:19,817 --> 00:35:21,052

yeah.

 

848

00:35:21,052 --> 00:35:24,055

This is moisturizer.

 

849

00:35:24,956 --> 00:35:26,591

I know.

 

850

00:35:26,591 --> 00:35:29,594

Good.

 

851

00:35:29,594 --> 00:35:32,430

no,

 

852

00:35:32,430 --> 00:35:34,365

you shouldn't.

 

853

00:35:34,365 --> 00:35:34,699

You should.

 

854

00:35:34,699 --> 00:35:37,702

You shouldn't use moisturizer.

 

855

00:35:38,236 --> 00:35:39,070

Good. Yes.

 

856

00:35:39,070 --> 00:35:41,506

Don't feel bad about that.

 

857

00:35:41,506 --> 00:35:43,574

Yeah, I think.

 

858

00:35:43,574 --> 00:35:44,408

Yeah, I don't either.

 

859

00:35:44,408 --> 00:35:47,411

It's greasy.

 

860

00:35:47,545 --> 00:35:48,946

No I don't either.

 

861

00:35:48,946 --> 00:35:50,181

Yeah.

 

862

00:35:50,181 --> 00:35:50,748

There's

 

863

00:35:50,748 --> 00:35:53,751

I think John Wayne use moisturizer.

 

864

00:35:54,752 --> 00:35:56,053

Now that's all.

 

865

00:35:56,053 --> 00:35:57,889

You that

 

866

00:35:57,889 --> 00:35:58,456

I worked with.

 

867

00:35:58,456 --> 00:36:00,024

A guy worked with a guy,

 

868

00:36:00,024 --> 00:36:00,791

he worked with him.

 

869

00:36:00,791 --> 00:36:02,493

He was from Texas

 

870

00:36:02,493 --> 00:36:04,395

and I think Texas, rugged

 

871

00:36:04,395 --> 00:36:05,863

leather leather.

 

872

00:36:05,863 --> 00:36:07,365

Right. Saddles.

 

873

00:36:07,365 --> 00:36:09,100

Cowboy boots, jeans.

 

874

00:36:09,100 --> 00:36:11,903

School thing in the back pocket.

 

875

00:36:11,903 --> 00:36:13,838

And I seen him put

 

876

00:36:13,838 --> 00:36:16,841

the moisturizer on him one day

 

877

00:36:16,874 --> 00:36:17,475

like, Well, tell us,

 

878

00:36:17,475 --> 00:36:20,545

this is our moisturizer.

 

879

00:36:20,745 --> 00:36:21,445

yeah, I know what it is.

 

880

00:36:21,445 --> 00:36:23,948

What are you doing, man?

 

881

00:36:23,948 --> 00:36:26,350

You know, I you know.

 

882

00:36:26,350 --> 00:36:28,786

When I the a lot, my wife tells me

 

883

00:36:28,786 --> 00:36:29,787

I should.

 

884

00:36:29,787 --> 00:36:31,022

I said nice sunscreen.

 

885

00:36:31,022 --> 00:36:32,089

When you do that, what do you use?

 

886

00:36:32,089 --> 00:36:33,124

A moisturizer. Man.

 

887

00:36:34,125 --> 00:36:37,094

So, you know.

 

888

00:36:39,397 --> 00:36:41,265

I did that too, but it.

 

889

00:36:41,265 --> 00:36:44,035

Was a mess. Yeah.

 

890

00:36:44,035 --> 00:36:45,236

I'm the same way.

 

891

00:36:45,236 --> 00:36:47,471

Yeah.

 

892

00:36:47,471 --> 00:36:49,407

All right.

 

893

00:36:49,407 --> 00:36:50,808

I should do.

 

894

00:36:50,808 --> 00:36:51,976

you should grip stuff better.

 

895

00:36:51,976 --> 00:36:55,413

My hands get so dry I can't grip But by.

 

896

00:36:55,613 --> 00:36:56,814

Excuse me.

 

897

00:36:56,814 --> 00:36:58,416

But if you.

 

898

00:36:58,416 --> 00:36:59,850

Can't make making grip stuff

 

899

00:36:59,850 --> 00:37:01,085

with moisturizer on his hands.

 

900

00:37:01,085 --> 00:37:03,454

What you talking about?

 

901

00:37:03,454 --> 00:37:05,790

Well, dry hands are slippery too.

 

902

00:37:05,790 --> 00:37:08,793

They're not like moisturizer.

 

903

00:37:09,026 --> 00:37:11,128

We could do a Yeah.

 

904

00:37:11,128 --> 00:37:13,264

Okay. Anyhow.

 

905

00:37:13,264 --> 00:37:16,267

All right.

 

906

00:37:17,768 --> 00:37:18,135

Yeah.

 

907

00:37:18,135 --> 00:37:20,137

Use a straw that.

 

908

00:37:20,137 --> 00:37:21,472

Yeah, but. I won't use.

 

909

00:37:21,472 --> 00:37:25,543

A we call it a paper straw.

 

910

00:37:27,011 --> 00:37:28,246

Now I use the straw.

 

911

00:37:28,246 --> 00:37:28,546

Yeah.

 

912

00:37:28,546 --> 00:37:28,813

You know,

 

913

00:37:28,813 --> 00:37:30,381

you just drop is drawn now

 

914

00:37:30,381 --> 00:37:31,882

because you know,

 

915

00:37:31,882 --> 00:37:33,251

I told you about my rules

 

916

00:37:33,251 --> 00:37:33,918

in the restaurants

 

917

00:37:33,918 --> 00:37:36,687

with, with glasses and stuff like that

 

918

00:37:36,687 --> 00:37:37,488

in a restaurant.

 

919

00:37:37,488 --> 00:37:39,056

There should be like a red line,

 

920

00:37:39,056 --> 00:37:39,724

like three quarters.

 

921

00:37:39,724 --> 00:37:40,958

The way up the glass, you'd be red

 

922

00:37:40,958 --> 00:37:41,759

line in the service.

 

923

00:37:41,759 --> 00:37:42,460

Shouldn't have his hand

 

924

00:37:42,460 --> 00:37:43,394

above that red line.

 

925

00:37:44,428 --> 00:37:46,731

So the red line rule that would be

 

926

00:37:46,731 --> 00:37:48,299

Pauline sees me use a straw,

 

927

00:37:48,299 --> 00:37:51,135

I'll use the straw if I'm driving,

 

928

00:37:51,135 --> 00:37:53,704

drinking in an iced coffee.

 

929

00:37:53,704 --> 00:37:56,707

okay.

 

930

00:37:58,476 --> 00:38:00,544

But

 

931

00:38:00,544 --> 00:38:01,445

you're.

 

932

00:38:01,445 --> 00:38:02,980

You're a real man.

 

933

00:38:02,980 --> 00:38:04,482

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

 

934

00:38:04,482 --> 00:38:06,550

That's.

 

935

00:38:06,550 --> 00:38:08,886

Yeah,

 

936

00:38:08,886 --> 00:38:11,155

Everybody's different.

 

937

00:38:11,155 --> 00:38:12,189

Yeah. Yeah.

 

938

00:38:12,189 --> 00:38:15,192

There you go. Yeah.

 

939

00:38:15,192 --> 00:38:16,627

All right. Well, Rob.

 

940

00:38:16,627 --> 00:38:18,195

So the bottom line

 

941

00:38:18,195 --> 00:38:22,900

this caps are completely

 

942

00:38:23,434 --> 00:38:25,269

is going to happen.

 

943

00:38:25,269 --> 00:38:26,304

You get.

 

944

00:38:26,304 --> 00:38:29,907

you can do is preach to these people.

 

945

00:38:29,907 --> 00:38:32,343

And I thought I saw an end.

 

946

00:38:32,343 --> 00:38:36,147

WFA said no more than at ten point

 

947

00:38:36,147 --> 00:38:39,150

swing

 

948

00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,022

Yeah,

 

949

00:38:45,022 --> 00:38:48,025

yeah,

 

950

00:38:48,459 --> 00:38:49,393

yeah, yeah.

 

951

00:38:49,393 --> 00:38:52,363

No,

 

952

00:38:52,363 --> 00:38:53,698

yeah.

 

953

00:38:53,698 --> 00:38:54,332

Yeah.

 

954

00:38:54,332 --> 00:38:56,067

Well, one table in my life.

 

955

00:38:56,067 --> 00:38:57,935

Okay.

 

956

00:38:57,935 --> 00:38:59,870

Yeah, but so it's going to happen.

 

957

00:38:59,870 --> 00:39:00,438

It is.

 

958

00:39:00,438 --> 00:39:00,871

Like I said,

 

959

00:39:00,871 --> 00:39:02,540

you could have the best hardwood floor

 

960

00:39:02,540 --> 00:39:04,642

man in the world do your floors.

 

961

00:39:04,642 --> 00:39:06,577

They cannot stop physics.

 

962

00:39:06,577 --> 00:39:08,579

And it happens is the.

 

963

00:39:08,579 --> 00:39:10,114

But here's the thing.

 

964

00:39:10,114 --> 00:39:11,282

I'll tell you something.

 

965

00:39:11,282 --> 00:39:13,184

Go to the Hearst Castle.

 

966

00:39:13,184 --> 00:39:15,586

Go to

 

967

00:39:15,586 --> 00:39:18,155

What's the one in Asheville,

 

968

00:39:18,155 --> 00:39:20,324

North Carolina? The beautiful. Home.

 

969

00:39:20,324 --> 00:39:25,062

Camera.

 

970

00:39:25,062 --> 00:39:25,396

There it.

 

971

00:39:27,565 --> 00:39:28,366

Yeah.

 

972

00:39:28,366 --> 00:39:31,369

Yeah, I know.

 

973

00:39:31,869 --> 00:39:32,670

Anyhow.

 

974

00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:33,137

You go to

 

975

00:39:33,137 --> 00:39:35,339

the most magnificent homes in the world

 

976

00:39:35,339 --> 00:39:36,240

and look at floors

 

977

00:39:36,240 --> 00:39:37,708

that have been down for 50,

 

978

00:39:37,708 --> 00:39:40,277

60, 100, 120 years old.

 

979

00:39:40,277 --> 00:39:43,013

And they have natural gaps in the floors.

 

980

00:39:43,013 --> 00:39:45,149

And to me it adds to the beauty,

 

981

00:39:45,149 --> 00:39:47,451

the esthetics of a of a floor.

 

982

00:39:47,451 --> 00:39:48,886

I will almost make an argument

 

983

00:39:48,886 --> 00:39:50,588

that I'd rather see a floor like that

 

984

00:39:50,588 --> 00:39:53,591

than a perfectly pristine floor.

 

985

00:39:53,624 --> 00:39:54,125

You know, it

 

986

00:39:54,125 --> 00:39:55,659

depends on the environment, of course,

 

987

00:39:55,659 --> 00:39:57,027

the setting that it's in,

 

988

00:39:57,027 --> 00:39:58,396

but that's the hardwood floor

 

989

00:39:58,396 --> 00:40:01,098

I talked about, worn in saddle, worn in,

 

990

00:40:01,098 --> 00:40:01,966

you know what I mean?

 

991

00:40:01,966 --> 00:40:02,500

That's just

 

992

00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:04,068

it's just it's a natural product

 

993

00:40:04,068 --> 00:40:06,303

and you expect that and are stunning.

 

994

00:40:06,303 --> 00:40:08,272

And it happens to hardwood floors.

 

995

00:40:08,272 --> 00:40:10,374

You're investment in a hardwood floor.

 

996

00:40:10,374 --> 00:40:12,276

I mean, like I said, we see everybody

 

997

00:40:12,276 --> 00:40:12,710

who is listening to

 

998

00:40:12,710 --> 00:40:14,111

the podcast has sanded floors

 

999

00:40:14,111 --> 00:40:15,880

that are 100 years old.

 

1000

00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,314

Get a name, another surface

 

1001

00:40:17,314 --> 00:40:18,015

that you can deal with

 

1002

00:40:18,015 --> 00:40:19,984

that and change the core

 

1003

00:40:19,984 --> 00:40:22,787

to different colors, different scenes,

 

1004

00:40:22,787 --> 00:40:24,088

different textures.

 

1005

00:40:24,088 --> 00:40:25,189

There is none.

 

1006

00:40:25,189 --> 00:40:26,490

Hardwood floors are timeless,

 

1007

00:40:26,490 --> 00:40:27,758

beautiful floors.

 

1008

00:40:27,758 --> 00:40:28,726

I think we have to accept

 

1009

00:40:28,726 --> 00:40:30,194

some of the natural character

 

1010

00:40:30,194 --> 00:40:31,762

and beauty of those products

 

1011

00:40:31,762 --> 00:40:32,430

that we work with.

 

1012

00:40:32,430 --> 00:40:33,998

They're made by nature

 

1013

00:40:33,998 --> 00:40:36,033

and and it's not a floor.

 

1014

00:40:42,406 --> 00:40:45,142

Yeah.

 

1015

00:40:45,142 --> 00:40:48,145

bombs interest in the whole thing was.

 

1016

00:40:48,345 --> 00:40:49,413

We did a floor one time

 

1017

00:40:49,413 --> 00:40:50,548

that was like 90 years

 

1018

00:40:50,548 --> 00:40:51,916

old, this maple floor

 

1019

00:40:51,916 --> 00:40:54,919

that was just absolutely destroyed.

 

1020

00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:57,354

And

 

1021

00:40:57,354 --> 00:40:58,956

it really wasn't that bad.

 

1022

00:40:58,956 --> 00:41:01,692

When we got down, it looked like they had

 

1023

00:41:01,692 --> 00:41:03,127

Yeah.

 

1024

00:41:03,127 --> 00:41:06,130

The

 

1025

00:41:06,964 --> 00:41:09,967

listen,

 

1026

00:41:14,004 --> 00:41:15,105

they've never

 

1027

00:41:15,105 --> 00:41:16,974

they never been easier to take care of

 

1028

00:41:16,974 --> 00:41:18,642

and they're really Molly

 

1029

00:41:18,642 --> 00:41:20,244

there's really super in general

 

1030

00:41:20,244 --> 00:41:21,679

is easy to take care of

 

1031

00:41:21,679 --> 00:41:23,247

they're they're sustainable

 

1032

00:41:23,247 --> 00:41:24,949

environmentally friendly.

 

1033

00:41:24,949 --> 00:41:27,585

It's the best service in the world

 

1034

00:41:27,585 --> 00:41:28,419

to live on.

 

1035

00:41:28,419 --> 00:41:31,255

So there you go.

 

1036

00:41:31,255 --> 00:41:33,691

They come and go just like the tides.

 

1037

00:41:33,691 --> 00:41:37,228

So you know what the gaps in close up,

 

1038

00:41:37,228 --> 00:41:37,695

what have you.

 

1039

00:41:37,695 --> 00:41:38,963

And it's really not that it's

 

1040

00:41:38,963 --> 00:41:40,064

not that big an issue.

 

1041

00:41:40,064 --> 00:41:43,000

So yes.

 

1042

00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:44,101

Yeah. So

 

1043

00:41:45,536 --> 00:41:47,571

yeah.

 

1044

00:41:47,571 --> 00:41:50,107

So why did you just say that?

 

1045

00:41:50,107 --> 00:41:52,910

Why did you just say that.

 

1046

00:41:52,910 --> 00:41:53,644

Yeah.

 

1047

00:41:53,644 --> 00:41:54,044

Because now.

 

1048

00:41:54,044 --> 00:41:54,645

People are going, well,

 

1049

00:41:54,645 --> 00:41:56,614

maybe my caps aren't. Normal, you know?

 

1050

00:41:56,614 --> 00:41:58,415

I mean.

 

1051

00:41:58,415 --> 00:41:59,116

You want to talk about

 

1052

00:41:59,116 --> 00:42:02,119

what a normal, not normal gap is Now.

 

1053

00:42:02,953 --> 00:42:03,387

Okay.

 

1054

00:42:03,387 --> 00:42:04,522

Thank you.

 

1055

00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:05,189

All right.

 

1056

00:42:05,189 --> 00:42:08,192

This has been another.

 

1057

00:42:09,727 --> 00:42:12,496

Okay, good.

 

1058

00:42:12,496 --> 00:42:15,065

Okay.

 

1059

00:42:15,065 --> 00:42:15,966

Yeah.

 

1060

00:42:15,966 --> 00:42:18,969

All right.

 

1061

00:42:20,204 --> 00:42:20,504

Well,

 

1062

00:42:20,504 --> 00:42:23,507

it was stupid comment and

 

1063

00:42:26,510 --> 00:42:28,345

we set the standard.

 

1064

00:42:28,345 --> 00:42:30,247

We cleared it up,

 

1065

00:42:30,247 --> 00:42:31,482

and then you did.

 

1066

00:42:31,482 --> 00:42:34,418

You did. That?

 

1067

00:42:34,418 --> 00:42:36,654

Yeah.

 

1068

00:42:36,654 --> 00:42:37,288

When you had a.

 

1069

00:42:37,288 --> 00:42:38,556

Kid at a dinner table,

 

1070

00:42:38,556 --> 00:42:40,457

like out in a restaurant.

 

1071

00:42:40,457 --> 00:42:43,027

Did your parents ever correct you,

 

1072

00:42:43,027 --> 00:42:44,662

like

 

1073

00:42:44,662 --> 00:42:45,930

the way it goes by?

 

1074

00:42:45,930 --> 00:42:48,432

You say something. Okay. Okay.

 

1075

00:42:48,432 --> 00:42:49,700

Okay. Okay.

 

1076

00:42:49,700 --> 00:42:52,403

Yeah. Curious. But.

 

1077

00:42:52,403 --> 00:42:55,406

Okay.

 

1078

00:43:14,024 --> 00:43:15,826

If

 

1079

00:43:15,826 --> 00:43:18,829

they

 

1080

00:43:34,578 --> 00:43:36,513

laser it.

 

1081

00:43:36,513 --> 00:43:37,181

Yeah.

 

1082

00:43:37,181 --> 00:43:37,648

Okay.

 

1083

00:43:37,648 --> 00:43:40,651

Yeah.

 

1084

00:43:46,223 --> 00:43:49,226

Well.

 

1085

00:43:49,927 --> 00:43:52,930

Wow.

 

1086

00:43:55,866 --> 00:43:56,100

No.

 

1087

00:43:56,100 --> 00:43:56,433

Can.

 

1088

00:44:00,904 --> 00:44:01,839

What were you, like,

 

1089

00:44:01,839 --> 00:44:04,842

20, 21

 

1090

right now?

 

1091

00:44:11,281 --> 00:44:13,984

Probably not. Okay.

 

1092

00:44:13,984 --> 00:44:16,987

Okay.

 

1093

00:44:18,622 --> 00:44:21,625

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

 

1094

00:44:24,194 --> 00:44:26,296
