[TRANSCRIPTION]
00:00:04
How are you?
00:00:45
I'm Manning today. So let's take a look. Well, Manuel's sick, so we're going to switch gears.
00:01:16
So when do we pressure wash? Usually in the mornings. So why do we pressure wash?
00:01:49
Why? So the bond breaks, right? Bond breaker. So the idea is when we, so this cut that we did, right, into all this, when we went to go cut the coping, right, and all this here, right, it's because it didn't bond, right? And so there's a difference between something that sticks together, right, and something that bonds. And once it bonds, we essentially have one item, right?
00:02:48
So if you imagine, you know, cutting into a cake, you know, birthday cake and whatnot, like, when you try to separate the cake from the filling in the middle, or whatever, there's, you can't, right? Right. And so, Oh. You know, so that's what we're trying to accomplish, so, with everything, right, and I know you guys might think that I'm, well, I don't know, I'm sure you guys think I'm over explaining, but what I want you, the biggest reason why I kind of do this stuff is because I need you guys to understand it, not just in what I'm saying, but how do you, how do you understand the concept of it, so when I give you something that you haven't seen before, you're able to go,
00:03:48
well, I know what to do, because I understand how this works, right, so, for instance, we're next to the ocean, right, you clocking in? Yeah, okay, I'll let you guys do that. Yesterday, when I went to clock in, it said clock in, and then I was able to choose the code or whatever, and I clocked in and out for a break.
00:04:21
But then at the end of the day, it said that I was on break for eight hours. When I went to go clock out, it said... So, it's possible that you press the button, we're in a terrible reception area, and it doesn't go. So, the most reliable thing you can do in that case, click over to airplane mode. That'll take you to offline status.
00:04:52
It'll still allow you to do it, but now it'll save it on your phone, and then it'll update it as soon as you've got... You don't have to stay in airplane mode. Just long enough to save the record and then click it off airplane mode. And by the way, what that'll also do is it'll reconnect with the closest cell tower, too. Yeah, that's what you texted me last time. Yeah, so switch over to airplane mode. Do what you got to do. Once it says save, you should be good.
00:05:27
Are we? Floating, right? So this would be called tile system, but I'm not having you do this. What I want you guys to do today is all of these guys that are, at least for now, I should say, I don't mind pressure washing everything. I got Brandon doing something up at Stradela.
00:06:00
and then depending on how we're doing here i might here i don't want to come in this way it's working it works better um but so when we're working on the pipes and the pipe details that's, uh pipe detail penetration language if you type in pipe you'll find it but it's not surge right.
00:06:31
a couple of you guys have done that even brain even brain into that but the surge tank is always, i don't think we've done it all since i've been here. we will yeah but don't make me say it twice um i mean that in a nice way that sounds like i'm, Um, do me a favor, since he's gone, I'll switch topics with you, when you put in your photos, and it might be because of the connection here, it might not be, I don't know, but it's like, uh, it's like you're spamming the, uh, um, yeah, um, like, like you put all your photos in the, in the daily site progress or whatever, like two days ago?
00:07:20
I don't know why I did that, I know, or, you know, no, no, what it is is that, so, while I'm driving out of here, I, I know, I think I know what day it was, there was a day that I was having issues, so I just hit, uh, upload again, and it might have just picked a folder that I uploaded the, the site cleanup photos, so that's probably what that was, but, okay, I'll, it's because if I don't do it, well, like, Right after I clock out and leave, like, when I get home, like, I got other things going on, so I just, I'll completely forget. I get it. I got an idea on how to fix our Wi-Fi problem, and you gotta know that I've tried this countless times, but I got another one that I want to try, so we'll see if I can figure that out.
00:08:02
Um, so, they try to be, you know, like, there's, there's, uh, there's a, there's a, one of the reasons why I stop you guys so much, okay, is because as much as I love these guys, they don't know how to train for crap, okay? They're really good, I mean, I'm watching him, he's really good at, like, he was showing you yesterday, hey, do this way, they're good at that stuff, right?
00:08:35
But. How many times have I had to, like, go, guys, what's up with your mixing, right? Like, guys, read the instructions, guys, guys. And so they don't understand how to do it beyond just, like, you know, they do stuff, but they don't tell you that they do stuff, right? Or, like, well, I mean, just, like, explain why we do stuff a certain way.
00:09:06
What I was doing was, oh, I'm not sure, we just do it like that. Right, and so anything you hear that, come to me. Okay? Because, again, the reason why I do this, the reason why I stop and I watch you guys work, right, is because I'm, two things. I'm trying to figure out, trying to figure out, trying to see if you do this like me, right? It's not.
00:09:39
When I hit you up about the photos, right, your first thing is, like, you start defending yourself. Yeah, yeah. Right? And by the way, that's a natural human response. Like, with my wife, I swear I can go, baby, I love you. And she's like, but I'm so sorry that I, I'm like, you know, it's just. A natural reaction. And some people, like, just that's how they're raised, right? But you've got to know, when I'm coming at you, this sounds like a church thing to say,
00:10:09
but you'll know when I'm coming at you. Yeah, yeah. Right? I don't have a good, I am not good at hiding. There's a tone that takes over. I don't hear it. If you record it, I can hear it, but I can't hear it. Right? Outside of that, I'm trying to lift you up. Okay? So, it might sound like I am. I had a dinner with an old. work associate two two nights ago and the dude goes talking to server and he goes i said what.
00:10:48
kind of beers you have on i got this and then i have a a hazy by stone called delicious and i said delicious that i hated he's like yeah the new thing that we got i said i'll get that and he goes cool thanks and he walks away and i said stone doesn't make a hazy called delicious right so to my buddy right and i said but if i'm wrong we'll see so he comes back and.
00:11:19
he's like hey just kidding it's not a hazy you know and i said uh yeah this is the jerk that i am and it's literally what i said to him this is the jerk that i am i knew it wasn't a hazy i was, I figured I'd just get that, right? And so, yeah, that's what I want, you know? And he goes, oh, okay, so you want that? I'm like, yeah, I want that, you know? And so he walks off, and my buddy, who's, if I'm blunt, he's like double, right?
00:11:53
He goes, you are a jerk. And I go, I know, what did I say? I said, he didn't laugh. He goes, you weren't funny. You were a jerk. And he goes, and I'm like, huh. So the guy comes back, and I'm like, hey, my buddy said I was a jerk, too. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. I was just, you know, I was trying to make a joke, obviously, to fail. So, but I'm always going to be pulling back and going, you know, let's think about this.
00:12:25
And here's what you've got to know. My kids are like this. Every employee I've had has been like this. Right? I know I talk a lot. Okay? But I'll say this. Everybody who has taken the time to hear me out has been able to elevate their position. And I'm not talking helpers to installers. I have like my assistant at the last company I worked at has more than doubled her income since I hired her. Right?
00:13:11
Right? She was making $80,000 the last time I talked to her. And by the way, we still talk. Right? So she just got a new job. I don't know what the new job is paying her. the things that she's learned from you at least as far as like she brought up telling you man i hired her on at 22 an hour which is the equivalent of 45 000 okay so yeah she's making.
00:13:41
more than 80. um and she was and she was being successful right um in fact when i left my buddy said hey i don't know what to do with this other site that you were and i was like she's dr betty she can do that and that at the same time and here's how you're going to work this out he's like oh my gosh that's a great idea right my transportation manager who by the way was a buddy of mine who nobody would give a chance to um i brought him in as half-time assistant.
00:14:17
half-time transportation that's how i could justify you know and then i hired her as an assistant moved him to full-time transportation and then he left me, because he found a job where he could run his own operation. He's making more than $100,000 now, right? I put, you know, and then I created a system where I would bring in entry-level people and raise them all the way up to the top dog at the plant,
00:14:47
except for the mechanics, right? That's a whole other, you know, meaning that these guys are the guys running the plant, these guys are the ones making the big bucks and whatnot. Not everybody did that, right? Because not everybody wants to listen. Well, my point is, I know I talk a lot, but if you grab it, what you're trying to do is elevate. And if you don't change the way you're thinking, you'll stay at the same level.
00:15:19
Right. Okay? So, please, for your own sake. When I say the devil's in the details, know your products. Like, once you know these products, you know, you will be able to adapt. You know, if you know why we do things and you stick with these stupid rules that I've created, you will not have problems. Okay? Make sense?
00:15:50
Yeah, 100%. Manuel was not doing tile three years ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was not doing tile. Okay? So, I'm not, you know, I was brought on to scale, which means to make the team bigger. The only reason why we're as small as we are right now is because I knew that our lead tile guy at the time.
00:16:27
needed to go, and 80%, maybe 90% of our staff or the title crew was somehow related to him. Right, and they were, yeah, they were, like, really, like, just, yeah, I've heard the story. So, and by the way, I'll just say this, too. When I came in, Corey wanted to make some changes and make them quick, and I disagreed with the changes because it's tough enough not having an everyday boss.
00:17:02
to going to having an everyday boss, and then when that everyday boss makes huge changes. It really, like, yeah, I see, yeah, it's, right? And I said, don't do it. Don't make me do this. It's going to go bad, and it went bad, right? And my point is, like, who knows? Maybe I could have made it work with them, but. When I told him this was going to happen, I told Corey this was going to happen. Like, once I lose him, we're going to lose everybody.
00:17:34
Right. And so when we, and we had to pull off, in order to not lose our tails on a couple jobs, we had to pull off these jobs. And I intentionally used that timing to say, okay, what's going to happen is going to happen. They go, they go. Right? You, you don't have a choice because I've given you too many chances. Right? Right. And I didn't say anything else to everybody other than, hey, I know this is a big hit. We can do this. I want you guys here.
00:18:05
And then they were just, then you could see it. Okay. And by the way, after they all left, they all sued us for, oh, my back and my neck. Right? Like, so, and I only say that, I'm not, it's hype, but it's dirty. Yeah, no, it is. It's dirty. That's where that stands. So, well, I want to give you guys a little bit of background on like, we're not small now, because we couldn't, you know, it was, it was intentional, right? Because I tried hiring a couple installers hired Brandon as an installer. I heard this guy, Trent, I heard this guy, Marvin. So another installer, I don't think so. But by the time I hired those three, you know, I was like, I don't want to installers. Yeah, I need people that are hungry. Yeah, we were not bad. It's just.
00:19:03
that, like, once, like, we were talking the other day, it's like, for some reasons, they think that, like, what they do is an art, and they're the only ones that can do it. And it's their way or the highway. It's like, I worked with so many talent installers that they just had that mentality. And they're not wrong. They're, they're, they're not wrong. but here's the thing is what they're doing is not being appreciated as art in the sense that, if it can be the creativity is not coming from them it's just a process right yeah the creativity.
00:19:44
already happened in the design somebody else designed it right we're just we're just executing right and so since we're just executing you can put a process to it right um that's where i come in and you could your what separates you from the rest of us is that you're able to to break down every step and process and and by the way and you guys can understand.
00:20:16
right and that's important okay so as you guys, are doing like these pipe details if you guys can if you guys can lick this all right understand this the rest of it becomes easy but you gotta really understand this stuff so for instance, you know i don't want to take up too much time just let's talk about this pipe detail here what.
00:20:46
was the first thing we did let's just say from from the start demo guys are done what's the first thing we did well we went in and we we drilled that way any of the holes i mean we we opened up the areas around the pipe sir yes you said we could expose any weak concrete any voice right yeah right now the voids come from them shooting like this.
00:21:19
right they're not really getting it in there right so even like, We're shooting at a new pool right now and at beach, right? So even if it's brand new, we still, and they'll cone it out for us, so it'll come and it'll be nice and pretty. Yeah, yeah, they're telling me that the people that you guys use, they know how you guys work and everything. Yeah, but we're still going to chip in. Okay. Because there's still going to be boys. Does that make sense? Right. It won't be as much, right? But, I mean, shoot, at the last one that we shot,
00:21:50
there was this big old hole right here. Right. Right? So after we do that, we do what? So after exposing the boys and everything, the aqua block, I mean, that's something that just goes with the entire pool? The aqua block is everywhere. Okay. Are we allowed to watch? Hold on. It's okay.
00:22:27
like World War II, like my youngest. He's mean, but like emotional control, like, stop it, buddy, how many times have I told you not to yell like that, you know? He's like, but he, he can't, he literally can't. But I can't allow it, you know?
00:23:01
So after we expose the voids, we fill them all with the rapid set, then we do the, what do you call it, the quarter bench and thousand? Now, real quick, why rapid set and not, or why do we put the two before there? oh i didn't even mention the 254 i know but no i i know you didn't go ahead so it's also a bond better right so it's like so it'll actually give you guys heard of cold joints no cold joints no, cold joints and concrete up against concrete right and so you put wet concrete against dry concrete.
00:23:37
right and that's called the cold joint let's do that because it doesn't bond yeah it could fall off so easy now there's one way you can make it bond that's if you do a scratch right no well we'll talk about that in a second there's one way you can make a bond if you shot there's so much pressure there that you can actually shot free on a cold trip and it'll actually.
00:24:12
the reason why you do a scratch coat is you open it up you give it more surface area some tie-ins and stuff like that because when you scratch coat it's not a perfect scratch usually it's actually got intentions like this you know and so you can get it get your new stuff in there yeah a lot okay okay so we use two foot four and it's called a bond coat right so or bc pro right bond coat protector for the waterproofing right so by us using that.
00:24:52
right we are we are addressing the cold jump i understand that these don't stick, here's the glue that ties them together um just real quick so whenever we open even like the, areas that didn't have any pipes or rebar that they were just hoping don't like, whenever we open anything up and we put rapid set before we put rapid set the whole thing is going to be should look like that pretty much with the 254 okay i mean not as much i mean we.
00:25:23
yeah oh yeah because i would imagine we just hope i was going to say it doesn't necessarily need to be on the pipes and doesn't be it's better to have two 254 is going to stick to just about anything whereas concrete okay so so we filled all the boys we used 254 and rapid set right right why rapid set not not 37 that i'm not sure just faster okay you're on you're on the.
00:25:56
right track but why uh maybe uh maybe it's hard to maybe how hard it is at the end of it gets super hard it gets harder than the 37 so it gets harder faster number one, Um, 37-01 is not supposed to be applied on a wall more than 5-8-7-8. Okay, so rapid study is different for, like, okay, so that makes sense.
00:26:28
So, when we're gonna go thick, we go rapid. Okay. Okay? Now, that being said, I don't tile over rail, only tile over 37-01. The reason being is? It's better surface profile, it's, uh, it's designed to tile over. Um, it's workable, yeah.
00:26:59
Yeah, yeah, because rapid set just starts drying quick. So. Now we've got it there, right? What's our next step? The mortar bed 2000. What's the point of that? It's also like a waterproofing, right? No? You're on to something, but no. Yeah, no, I'm not sure. That's okay. I didn't expect you to be able to answer. That's okay.
00:27:29
Does it work like a protector? So you actually don't need a mortar bed 2000, but it's part of their detail. It's part of Miracode's detail. Miracode is the people that make this. And Miracode are the ones that are basically saying, if you follow and use our products in our way, we will warranty the work. Now, by the way, when they warranty it, they're just going to pay me back for their products, not the labor.
00:28:01
So sometimes we go, I don't care about Miracode, right? So, Mirror Coat wants us to use Mortar Bed 2000, right, because you can use it to take away all these screws. Now, I didn't appreciate it. Yeah, because you guys don't like screw, or at least at this point in the process. So, with the Mirror Coat 2000, or with the Mortar Bed 2000, it has these fibers in it.
00:28:38
Yeah. So, I don't mind the smoothness of the Mortar Bed 2000, necessarily, because the Mortar Bed 2000 actually does give you smoothness, right? Right? But if you try to install mesh over this, and you do, so you have this nice, it's pretty easy, right? Yeah. It's hell, if you don't put that Mortar Bed 2000. so we did a couple more i'm like we don't need that let's go right and and uh it was me and.
00:29:09
brandon because manuel got sick hurt himself and i'm like what the hell why is it why is it so hard and brandon's like oh you've got to get in every nick and cranny i'm like not anymore you don't you know um right and if it seems wrong it should it probably is right so we do the mortar bed 2000 000 right and then um you put the caulking the one why well before that we're supposed to press.
00:29:42
one so and we sand the around the pipe yeah yeah good call um so we stand around the pipe, pressure washing is always you know take out the back, So, when you sand around the pipe, why? So that the M1 can bond to it better. It's kind of like a scratch coat for the concrete. Any time something's smooth, right? PVC's all smooth.
00:30:14
Any time something's smooth, it's hard to seal. What's the M1 for? Seal it. Seal it to seal the... What are we sealing? For, like, what we're sealing. Literally, like, what is it doing? To stop water from being able to get behind it. Behind what? Behind the concrete, you know, the gaps between the pipe and the concrete.
00:30:45
Mm-hmm. Okay. So that's what this whole detail is about, right? This whole detail is about... So 90% of these tap in here, okay? going in between. Why not just put M1 there and be done with it? It has its own process. It doesn't, like, it just follows the process. Don't guess. See, so what you're saying is just, I'm going to pick on you,
00:31:16
right? You're going, I don't know, just do what they tell me to. Right? If you only do what they tell you to, then you'll never rise above. Right? And by the way, a lot of times, they're wrong. Or they don't know that. Right? You want to be able to step back and go, because I understand this, I can apply it here because I know this, this, and this. Right? And then you can.
00:31:47
feel good about what you know and apply it. Okay? The job is always done better when you're confident. Yeah, 100%. So, but because you know, right? My niece lived with me for several years. I gave her, she's like, it was a pop quiz. And I'm like, you didn't know the material. I studied, you know? And it's like, well, she's like, it was a pop quiz.
00:32:18
That was the problem. What's your name? What? What's your name? Tatian. What's your last name? White. By the way, she lived with, like, you know, so she's like, if she asks you who, or if you ask her who I am to her, she'll say my dad, right? So I didn't, I don't just grab people and start like, hey, what's up with your quiz? You know, so, um, and, uh, she goes, why are you asking me?
00:32:50
Pop quiz? Passifying colors. You knew the material. Good job. So it's not really about pop quiz, is it? It's about whether or not you know the material. Right. You know. And so if you see it, you ask why. See what's going on. Look around. You know. They do all these, this is my sidestep, and it's about this. I swear I'll come back.
00:33:23
They do all these race baiting things, and everybody's about like white, right? And we just need our fair shake, right? And us against them, right? Nonsense. Well, but their complaint is legitimate. I can't seem to get ahead. If you look at the root, we can't seem to catch them, right?
00:34:03
Here's why. It's what they're taught. It's how they're taught. I grew up with an entrepreneur as a father. He had his own business. So every question I asked him, he turned around on me and said, think about it critically. I learned how to critically think, right? You look at the different cultures, right, and how these kids are brought up,
00:34:40
you know? So now if you flip that around, you go look at a black guy who's super successful. We're not talking about, like, athletes, right? Right. Right, a lawyer, right? Lightning strikes, right? You always got these anomalies. Like one guy goes, I just picked myself up on a blue dress. Most of us, they're going to tell you, somebody taught you how to think. Right, like a mentor.
00:35:12
And if you look at black families, you know, 15 years ago, 70% of black. Yeah, there's no government. No debt, right? Broken homes. And I can go on studying and studying and studying, but what I'm trying to get to, and this is my sidestep, right? This isn't about culture, this is about learning how to think, learning how to do it. Every time I talk with somebody that is brown level, blue collared, stuff like that, most of the time.
00:35:50
They're plenty capable. 90%. They're plenty capable. Nobody said, hey, look at it from this direction. You go, right? And so I've made my career on kind of saying, they're capable, right? You just got to get them to believe it. Somebody asked me what the hardest, I used to work in Watts. I spent 15 years hiring a new manager, and he said,
00:36:21
since I'm taking over all this stuff, what's your biggest struggle? My biggest struggle is that my employees are never brought up with, I wasn't allowed to say I can't, you know. My employees don't believe they can. When I bring people in, they don't believe they can. When I say, hey, give me, how much do you want to make, right? I'd be happy here, right? This is 10 years ago. 20 bucks an hour i'd be happy at 20 bucks an hour which was and my response to them always and this.
00:36:59
is a intentionally addictive right but i want to i don't get it you know let's talk about it you know you know so how to think is important i know i'm a pain but it's for your benefit okay so the. reason why we don't seal just with the m1 is because if we don't then we create another scene.
00:37:37
and we attach our membrane secret okay the membrane c it looks like it sticks to this pipe it will not stop water right here okay. And we're not confident that it's actually going to stick and stop water when you connect it to the M1. Right. How does it stick to the M1? Why are we okay with that?
00:38:11
I have no idea. No, I'm blanking. What'd you put in the M1? The sand. The sand? Yeah, I knew that. I just didn't know it at that moment. Yeah, I was just playing. But yeah, no, the sand, okay. Oh, okay, so I see. So the sand makes that rough... Where it's attached to it. Like the grooves and stuff. Mm-hmm. Got it, got it, okay. Dude, I think it'd be way better if it was done. Well, I've got a detail there, right? we need to understand the why so it's all in there i'll show it though on the on the.
00:38:41
it's not in the app but it is in builder track uh it's accessible but i'll make i'll put it in the app for you yeah okay i'll put it in the app for you because now those are definitely things that i like right now i kept thinking like i want to take my phone i want to write something down but i don't want to make it seem like i'm not paying attention but if yeah if it's in the app like that that'll definitely be something i'll refer to very often take out your phone and say let me take a note right oh okay and say let me take a note okay just say i'll do it in conversations i actually nowadays i'm more and more i'm writing stuff down because.
00:39:13
i actually have it better for my brain yeah i have a whole little notebook that i write all my stuff down oh i think that's how you know um my dad used to not let me like walk around work wise saying where's your notebook go get it you know i had a little pocket size, And now I know, because I couldn't handle the crap, it's ADHD, right? And so he was just, that's the way that my dad trained me, but I never knew why.
00:39:45
Take notes, take notes, right? You don't need to take notes this second. But I would rather you guys stop and take a couple minutes. Every time your brain does that reach, what is it? You're flexing your muscles. You just went to the gym, okay? Don't do that. That's why I stopped you and I go, I asked you a question, right? I'm trying to open up. I'm trying to open you up and say, you don't get it.
00:40:17
If you got it, you wouldn't be doing that. Trying to help, but I don't know a better way. If I could teach you better, you know. but because i'm not here all the time i have to use what i see right you know um and that's why i'm taking a couple minutes to do this because if not i'm going to be all right like come on. so so but so if it sticks to the sand and we want complete coverage we want as much sand there as.
00:40:54
possible like when you see a good deco seal ah this look at this yeah so this is caulking with sand in it but notice it's like it's perfect it's all the way across right um that's how i want, we get it right here this is the one right here.
00:41:26
right that's good you know i want it as much as possible if you can you can make sand like a hundred percent over it even better okay i'd actually love to use like a good gun you know, but i tried the other day it didn't work as well do i need a better application for that oh oh i saw you guys trying stuff like i'm yeah you know i don't mind failing because failing will get us there you know right because i know what worked on it what didn't work on it right so the the membrane c attaches to the same okay um funny story in a pinch if and by the way that is not.
00:42:08
play sand right it's special yeah specialty sand okay it's number 30 silica sand you gotta buy it like a special dude thompson's hardware um so. Memorandum C will stick to the sand, okay. The M1 sticks to the pipe and it sticks to the concrete. So that's the seal, right, but for the Mordovia 2000, right. But the water can still get through.
00:42:43
the Mordovia 2000 to the concrete, stuff like that. They say it's watertight, but it's not. At 4,000 psi, it's considered water resistant, right, which means but only if the shot created is perfect. And you guys open up this board. Is this shot pretty perfect? Right, so and the plaster they'll tell you is waterproof. It's not, you know. It helps, but it's not, okay. So.
00:43:19
next you're going to put on this Memorandum C and the Memorandum C is going to stick to the sand. So now, we've got no seam in between the pipe and the membrane and the M1, and we have no seam in between the M1 and the pipe. We've got no seam now, right? And we have no seam in between the M1 and the mortibus. Well, essentially, yeah, we've got no seam there, but then what we do is we're taking the membrane and sticking it to the M1, right? And so now nothing can fit in between there, right? So now, it's water, okay?
00:44:10
So, at that point, we're good. So the guys are going, oh, I don't remember what's first. Is it the M1? Is it the membrane seam? You can go back and go, well... Why do we do these things? You don't have to remember. Then you know the process, right? Right. And that's what I started kind of going. It's like, well, why don't we do this first? Right? And so I'll ask you questions because I'm trying to get your brain to flex.
00:44:41
Right? And if your brain flexes, you remember stuff. Right? But if I just tell it to you, you won't remember it. It's why we don't remember how to get places anymore. And you guys probably don't remember this, but, you know, back when it was like math. I could go somewhere once and remember for life how to get there. Right? I can't do that now, you know. And it's because I stopped flexing that particular muscle.
00:45:12
So that's what we do. One thing I told. i don't know why i always want to switch you guys your names oh yeah man what does it all do oh he calls me oh but he calls you ruben he calls you okay but yeah uh alex yeah but yeah i know but in my head it was renee and i was like that's not that's renee that's it you know i i want to do things clean right so i this should have been taped off right we apply it and we remove the tape same thing here like i want this every look at the difference between here and here um.
00:45:48
yeah right we didn't tape here yeah this we did tape here yeah um well okay so well right here see how he's defending himself i wasn't trying to exactly defend both you know we were taping everything off though i know but then somebody took a shortcut right well no we just didn't get to this side yet um brandon started this out early for some reason but um no i'm talking about membrane, right oh for the memory oh yeah perfect clean you know and then i don't care what what we did as far.
00:46:25
as well probably does work better so this makes it look so small so what we're going to do today. is we're going to fill these guys okay and i'm just looking for it to be.
00:47:09
three. If you say walls, don't go beyond 5'8". But a floor doesn't actually have that limitation. So I called up Latter Creek and said, hey, what's the deal? This wall can fall off. Oh, that makes sense. So what if I give it a floor? Well, then you're good.
00:47:40
So the thing is, that could be my floor, right? Or if we put a guy here, could that be my floor? Yeah. And then they just say pack it down every two inches, you know. But not that I want to do 3701 here, but that's kind of the thing. We did the spot, it was at an angle like this, and we did 5'8", and the whole thing, boom, because it had a floor.
00:48:13
right we're worried about them falling off how do you know it's too much it fell off right um so um. so i just want to do the ones with the fittings right because the sumps these guys don't have fittings on them right it's just height we want that something we want that extra because it's going to hit i want extra movement there right it's going to have a cover i want that open area there right to give me the flow okay.
00:48:51
okay so those ones these guys are pipes right these are not fittings you can tell they all go water stops right these are pipes we're also with cologne for now um that's a light. so the i need five eighths of an inch basically so from from uh five eights in here right.
00:49:32
that's how much that's our plaster um right and you're gonna say well braden if i do that here the plaster is gonna have to go in yeah not my problem they don't want us to fix it okay um so. right fitting quick question do we need to apply 54 here before we put the rapid set or we can just put it grab it on top of it every time you apply mortar with the exception of mortar bed 2000.
00:50:20
Everything else has to be physical. MortarBed 2000 is designed to be able to do that without having it. Every time you apply mortar, whether it be coping or, you know, RapidSet 3701, any type of mortar or cement, right? If you want it to stick, yeah.
00:50:55
So Corey's going to come here, and it's a good question. Do we know that the plaster is going to stick to the membrane seat? Right? We should be careful. We're also going to acid wash this. Acid wash? What do you mean? We haven't done it before, but we'll do an acid wash.
00:51:33
I told Cory I didn't want to do this and he said he'd rather protect us waterproofing than I personally don't think that's necessary but it's not my money when it goes back right, it's your money you get to make the decisions but yeah give me five eights on each of these okay okay so just we don't want if it's if it's just straight pipe we do not want to fill that.
00:52:05
because that's a song right yeah I'm gonna put a cover on it looks like all these right here but we'll double-check right so our, Our finish right here, 5-8, start from right here? Your finish is here. Yeah, we're going right up to the back of that. Gotcha. Okay, so I'm just going to make up a scenario. We pressure washed yesterday. We were super clean.
00:52:36
Do we have to pressure wash today? Yeah. Why? Dust. But we were super clean. We didn't create any dust yesterday. And the landscapers didn't come. Nobody came. I mean, by the ocean. What's that do? Do you know salt from the ocean actually makes? Really? I believe it, yes.
00:53:06
So I called up Miracle and asked them this question. Do I have to pressure wash? Right? They said, you know, at one time we had a job. We couldn't figure out. We did some testing. The salt will come over. And salt is a bond breaker. There you go. That's the term I was trying to remember. So salt is a bond breaker. Pass to all the walls. Do we need a pressure washer? Would you risk it? Do you want to risk it? That's the question.
00:53:37
No, not at all. When you're not sure, go with the most safe approach. Okay. Any questions for me? Okay. I'm going to go to the warehouse at some point in time today. We have a bunch of shirts there. Corey's like, what's he going to buy you a shirt? You know. And he's like, I'm sorry, man. You know. You guys think I have ADHD? You know. He's mad. He's like, I'm sorry, man.
00:54:07
I got a bunch of shirts in the warehouse. And I wanted to look at that first. And then that would tell me what we have, what we don't have, and what to order. And it was like, dude, I go to the warehouse like three times a week, you know. So how are we doing on gas? I picked a can yesterday, but I got here again in the 80s to drink. We have enough gas for an hour.
00:54:37
For today? We have like half a tank. Okay, and we'll get through today. And then I'll make sure that. Okay, so can we talk about one more thing here? Yeah. Organization. Organization, okay. Practice. Does it make any sense at all to have that thing there? Sorry, the trash can? No. Well, I mean, at first it did. At first it did, but once you guys started mixing, wouldn't it be better if that guy was here to help you guys mix?
00:55:09
And then when you like need to. Rinse out the bucket or whatnot like you don't have to walk over there. Yeah, and the hose here, Here's the way I see it one table, right? But but all together everything easy, right you got, electricity vacuum, Water right all in line my table. This is my mixing table. It's my good, right? And this is everything I need right here, you know, even if you want that little.
00:55:44
right the mixing, Tread with you, too. I don't care. I got them detachable. So Yeah, okay, but and then you know and I'd be okay, too I don't know if this is a good idea, but I'm just telling you like what do we do like here? how do we keep it so like maybe the mixing table stays right does it have to get put away everything.
00:56:17
not by me i don't think right yeah well i mean because i've juggled well this is where we're we're i mean it's something like we should also kind of include my world brand in these conversations because to me it's like if we put it away right now as soon as we get here tomorrow i'm going to grab it again and put it back here and um but i mean it's just you know sometimes, it's it'll be like an issue with somebody else so it's just like you know what i'll just move it i'll just put it back let's handle it now so no look your beauty is you got me yeah yeah and they.
00:56:52
can you know freaking braden right but braden asked the question because notice i take up labor all the time from you guys to talk right but but my biggest concern is labor, right which means that when i take up time for labor i think it's worthwhile, And so this time that we're not doing anything, I think it's very valuable because ultimately I keep on asking for stuff. You're going to sound like a jerk, but I'm not getting it. And I'm asking you guys directly. And you guys are putting a hard spot because you're like, yeah, they keep on asking me to do this stuff that I don't know what to do.
00:57:28
And, you know, but I need a way. Yeah. Right. So there's two things that can happen if you leave it out. Weather. Right. Rain or wind. Now I'm bothered by wind when I'm inside of a pool. Right. I'm not bothered by rain if it's covered. And then staff. I'm not worried about that. Right. And if you want my materials, you know, most people don't want my materials either.
00:58:05
Right? Yeah. I'm not worried about theft at this job, right? The only time I actually worry about theft is when I got back here. And why I think that we should, you know, ultimately, I would like to see the compressor and the pressure washer, maybe even the button. Yeah, I see the lock in there. But I'm not worried about that. But ultimately, one of the biggest reasons why I want a quick connect on the hoses is to be able to move the hoses.
00:58:40
Yeah. Pump, pump, pump. Done. Right? Do we have to put away the hose every day? Not for me. Right? Should it be nice when we leave? Right? Okay. You know, we rolled it up somewhere. Right? It's connected. And we rolled it up there. And tomorrow we're going to come back and connect it or something. Fantastic. right but those little savings those are daily you can save me five minutes every single day.
00:59:13
right you take me a lot of money right um and so let's think like that um and some sometimes you gotta earn your your right to talk right and say you you know but if we're gonna if we know.
00:59:52
time right yeah um just give me a smaller one that one's too big give me a you know whatever um so. Mixing table, hose, width, attachment, electricity. I want to get to the point where we're using a vacuum. So you start mixing, you flip the switch on the vacuum, right? Where the dust isn't going everywhere. I saw that today.
01:00:23
I saw it in the bunker that I was in. So, yeah, I mean, ultimately, I think what, you know, there's better ideas than what I have in my head, right? But that's the direction I want to start. If you find you're doing the same thing every single day, go to why. How do we make it? I'm a big believer in work stations, right? Everything I need is right here.
01:00:55
Everything we need for the job is right there. Everything I need right now is right here. Everything the installer needs right here is right here, right here, right? I don't want him to move. That's why I spent $30 on this, like, little remote feel for the vacuum, right? So he can turn it. Don't move. Stay there. Oh, yeah, that's a good way to, you know, come up with a good way to, you know, all save you money.
01:01:28
You know, I used that, I referenced you. But that toll list, I knew the wall was out of level, you know. I didn't want to go get the level, you know. Because I was going deep, right? And then, finally, I'm like, don't be that guy. Turn it up, right? And I was like, wait for all that. So, create that work system. No, right here.
01:01:58
I'll be back in a minute. Right, look at, not to, Brandon, you know, I love Brandon, he's not, you know, but he's learned a lot, but if you watch Manuel, he's so much more detailed, and clean, and everything that Brandon is, and still moves faster, right, and that's not a hit on Brandon, right, but we have to think about things like that, and, you know, slow is smooth, okay, that's my speech, look at that, one minute early.
01:02:48
I'll be here, I'll be right up there. Ask me anything doesn't matter how busy I look if you're not sure ask me. Okay, but for now, let's pressure wash. All of these go ahead. I'm hoping that Brandon calls me at 9 Because I'm on my way and if he does that then he's here. So let's pressure wash Everything.
01:03:22
You see the calcium start to come out yeah, okay, Calcium is a cup is a bond breaker. So if you don't pressure wash it off you guys scratch these well I mean, I know we probably have to do it today. But if you pressure wash it off, you don't need to so, But yes, if we need to and I've got a cool little tool for that. That's don't or. Grind your attachment.
01:03:54
Um, and then as far as like this water goes, um, I'm concerned about the water that's sitting down. Is that something that we usually try to like get out throughout the day? Is there a membrane seat down there? When do we install the membrane? Look at that. That's number one. That's a problem. So we'll have to reinstall that. Yeah, yeah. I mean, that would, well, I mean, when I went over it, I guess, um, they were using the hose up there, up here, so the water was strong. And then, uh, yeah.
01:04:28
So if that's me, okay, so let's not, let's pressure wash this off. Okay. Okay. And then we'll redo it when we do everything else. Okay. And the next time we can put like a berm, like make a sand berm or something like that. Um, I, this stuff is supposed to bc pro is supposed to be waterproof but i think it needs like 30 days to take care of like that because it just it comes undone when it's full of water okay um so um that.
01:05:07
means i think you know i'd be fine with just taking a broom and pushing it in these holes you, know.
01:05:49
is this helpful by the way don't don't like this i mean this is a real question right so you can tell me no man it's i tuned you out the second you start talking is this all like what i went through with you guys is this helpful yeah i was yeah so like it definitely oh i mean you've talked to me before about things like this but yeah no and then as far as like the whole like the whole process i guess i just wasn't really like tuned into what it was that we're doing with this conversation okay like now i got it it's locked in like right you know so but yeah.
01:06:22
i know it helped but not it helps a lot more yeah because i'm sure like renee can understand but like you know when working with other people it's not always this effective like as far as like getting the understanding like why would you so like when um i knew, Like, what we had to do, I just didn't know why we had to do it. Right. So, I mean, that's it. The problem, and the problem is, is that if you do that, you can continue to do that, but that's all you can do.
01:07:03
Yeah. And you can't take those skills and apply them elsewhere, right? Yeah. All right. Pretty, please. Can we start using those quick connects? Yeah. You guys are going to have. I have attached, but I don't know. They're attached on one. Like, somebody, it's like, this one now. So. I have them.
01:07:36
I think they're both. There should be. There might be one more in there. I think you could probably use that for the one downstairs. Sorry, I've been waiting for your text and I looked and it never came and then it said 28 minutes ago and I'm like, wait a minute. No, yeah, yeah. So I'm assuming the spots are the red tape, right?
01:08:15
Here's what I would say. Try not to do a corner unless you have to, right? Like for the, so the basin wall is probably a good one that you did, but I would do it just on the top and not on the corner. Okay. Yeah. Because that's all mortar, right? So we're not, no, no change of plane is what I'm looking for. Right. And so if it's not, if it's not quite. If it's not an exact 12 inches across, that's all right, but we can, you know what I mean?
01:08:55
Right, right, good catch there. And then on your other photos, you'll have to tell me, as I'm looking at them, you had one that was, it's the infinity wall on the side of the wall vertically, but I don't see any mortar there, it just looks like a random spot.
01:09:26
Yeah, because we know it's going to stick to the gunite, so what I'm looking for is, what areas are not gunite, right, that they are leaving and saying, you'll be fine here. right or areas where there's a bunch of uh you know thin centers um right.
01:09:56
so yeah i'm okay i'm fine with that no i'm fine with that as long as it doesn't take us you know, my i just told the guys the guys that i'm hoping that you're.
01:10:29
able that you call me at 10 o'clock and say hey i'm done um that might be hoping too much but, you know, what I'm thinking is, you know, you start applying everything, right, and then I don't need you to wait around once you get the second test in there, you know, but, and it doesn't have to be, remember, membrane C can be applied to a damp surface, it's just like, but damp, not, no puddles, right, so it doesn't have to be dry, dry, so I'm assuming you'll go and you'll apply.
01:11:08
your first coat with mesh, right, and then you'll do, and it doesn't have to be inside of every nook and cranny, I'm just looking for it to be straight across, okay, I mean, I would apply it across things, but I don't need, like, the mesh to be three single things. um as much as possible and what i'm saying is don't don't take an hour on each um you know what.
01:11:39
i mean i'm exaggerating but but uh i'm envisioning you and i at alpine trying to get into every nook and cranny when we're doing the uh pipe penetration and spa you know so yeah correct yeah no i don't.
01:12:21
think you need to i think the top is good right i'm i'm worried that if you do a change of planes, That it's going to affect how when we pull it off, you're going to have to kind of pull it off differently because you've got two different angles going on and it might, does that make sense? Cool. If you've got any questions, feel free to call. Thanks, sir.
01:13:52
hey renee did i trouble you to run me a uh an extension cord as well um yeah. if i didn't have the master one i would i would uh give you mine yeah this one looks open already.
01:14:22
i'll see if i can run one of these out cool thank you.
01:15:02
All right.
01:18:58
All right, here you go. There you go. I opened it on my laptop and I was like, oh crap, it's almost dead. Do you need to go connect it? Oh, cool.
01:23:35
Thank you.
01:28:20
I don't think it's just that breakfast.
01:29:00
I think we should just have .
01:36:14
Hey, Brandon. What's up?
01:36:56
Uh-oh. Right. Yeah. How far away are they from, you know, West Hollywood? West LA, I mean, yeah. Okay. Yeah. I would actually take what you've got, the memory and see that you have, and try to trade it. Like, hey, I just, because it was a new, was it new? Was it open?
01:38:16
Hello. Gotcha. Okay. Yeah. Let's, let's go ahead and, okay. So you just need another bucket or another kit. Let's get, let's get one of each actually. So, okay. I'll, I'll, I'll place an order.
01:41:08
No, no, it's okay.
01:41:47
Thank you.
01:43:48
Hey David, this is Brayden with Triune. How are you today? I can't complain. Um, I have, uh, I need to place a will call order for the West L.A. facility. Sure. Stradella. It's S-T-R-A, D-E-L-L-A.
01:44:21
Hey Brayden.
01:44:53
Um, can I get a kit? So, powder and liquid of Membrane C, gray, gray, and that'll be it. My guy's actually probably going to be there like 20 minutes, if it's possible for them to pull it, that'd be great.
01:45:29
Great, thank you very much.
01:48:07
There's a bell.
01:50:36
Thank you.
01:59:29
Yep. Oh, on that water stop? Yeah, I'm aware of that. That's right. Not that I don't care, but that is going to prevent the water from going behind that fitting, and our pipe detail stops that. So, but thank you. The other thing is that we ran out of gas right away. So we didn't have half a tank. Well, we forgot that Brandon had used it to do the front. Okay, so I need to go get gas.
02:00:14
Yeah, well, I mean, I was able to spray off this side. But not with the pressure washer, right? With the pressure washer. On? Yeah, yeah. I was able to spray just these few right here. Okay. i was in the middle of spraying that off when it turned off okay the rest of this i mean i sprayed it down real quick and i was i mean i was gonna ask you you're good oh i'll go get some gas okay so if he pressure washes you don't need to alcohol oh this is what he's gonna do well.
02:00:57
he's gonna he's gonna go get gas first okay so yeah we want to scrape that layer off so um scrape up whatever that layer is that's the salt or whatever the whole pressure washing, like the alcohol don't really get to it it will, it's difficult because it's like you know i'm sure that rags catching on a little, You know, it can, but it, you know, I'd rather just do it right.
02:01:31
Um, but that's a good alternative if I, I'd rather take a few minutes to, so. Well, I'll keep, uh. Yeah, give me a few minutes. I'll be back. Well, yeah, I'm sure you passed it. The gas station might start right here. I, uh, because I don't look up anything. I was just going to look up the closest one, but just at that street, there's one there. Yeah, literally like that, that street. Just go up it. It's going to be on the left.
02:02:02
Okay.
02:02:35
So, do you guys have anything that you guys have enough to start working on? Like, can you start on that? Yeah, yeah. Just start on this side right here. Okay. Thank you.

Right, a new path forward in the conservative Josh Hammer show. What is the alternative to engaging with your political opponents, to hearing out their criticism in as happy warrior-like fashion as...
02:06:49
That's it.
02:12:28

The things you like about the person, you have fun together, that takes you to the door. But at a certain point, the door will not open unless you simply make a decision, I'm going to love this person, because your feelings will always come and go. We've talked about that. But the problem is a lot of people don't get married because they're sure that if this is the one, my feelings will never ebb. If this is the one, then I'll just know it's the one. Because I'll never have any problem. I'll never look at that person and feel, ugh. I'll never look at that person and feel, yuck. I'll never look at that person and find a problem there. I'll always, always feel like giving myself to them. You will wait until hell freezes over if you wait for that. And that's the reason, see, if that's true, if that's true,
02:14:38
then those of you who are married, those of you who are considering marriage, need to consider this. Here's what one Christian writer says. People get from books the idea that if you have married the right person, you may expect to go on being in love forever. As a result, when they find they are not, they think that this proves they have made a mistake and are entitled to a change. But let the thrills go. Let it die away. Go on through that period of death into the greater but much more profound interest and happiness that follows. And you will find you're living in a world of new thrills all the time.
02:15:08
But if you decide to make thrills your regular diet and you try to prolong them artificially, they will all get weaker and weaker, fewer and fewer, and you will be a more disillusioned old person for the rest of your life. Thus, you find so many middle-aged people, men and women, maundering on about their lost youth. Now, what he's saying is, frankly, the thrill. that you've usually called being in love is basically an ego kick. Here is somebody that I think is admirable to other people, and he or she digs me. Well, that's enough to give you a kind of rush for a while,
02:15:38
several weeks at least. And then eventually, you will begin to realize that there's a decision that has to be made. You have to move on and let the thrills die and realize that the more you act in loving, the more you give, the more you serve, the more you will find yourself falling truly in love. There has to be a death of the thrills to move on into real love. A lot of people never, ever let that happen, or if they do happen, they think it's pathological. And I've made a terrible mistake. Love is a commitment. First, it's a commitment to serve people first. Love is an action first that leads to feelings, not a feeling that leads to an action. Thirdly, we said, we looked at the purpose of the power of marriage,
02:16:10
we looked at the definition of marriage last week, we looked at the priority of marriage. I got a lot of questions afterwards. The priority of marriage, it says, a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife. And that means, very clearly, that no other relationship is more fundamental. No other relationship is more fundamental than a relationship between a husband and a wife. It's the primary relationship. Father-mother-child relationship is secondary. Therefore, your spouse and your marriage has to be the number one priority. It has to come before your career. It has to come before your friends. It has to come before your children. That's a very hard one, especially nowadays. It really is.
02:16:40
It has to come before anything else. Afterwards, I got a number of questions about this. Somebody came up and said to me, All right, what if the man thinks that he is putting his marriage first, but the woman thinks he's not? How do you solve that? Or, what if the woman thinks she is putting her marriage first, and the man thinks she isn't? How do you solve that? It's simple. If one person thinks the marriage is first, and the other person thinks it's not, then it's not. It's simple. You see, when somebody says to you, You're not putting me first in your life. You can't say, Oh, yes, I am.
02:18:29
Just read it. We good? Or are you going to use it for that? No, we won't need the straight edge for that. What about the flat charms?
02:18:59
Well, I mean, that's still how I do it. That was for the... You would if you were trying to be perfect, but because it's getting plaster over it, we're not worried. If it's below that line, right, that the manuel is established, we don't got to worry about it.
02:19:38
Well, I'm going to do this one. If you actually want to hold off on making rapid set for the next one, just so that way it's a little quicker. pressure wash all that you like putting on the 254 better with the brush instead of the sponge.
02:20:28
yeah i would i would uh i feel like because like especially like when i have to like get into like like that right there wrong like i mean i just feel like i'll be messier with the sponge okay i just think you know. Anytime you do something different, make sure you're looking at, okay, you know, when they do it, you know, versus when I do it, are they doing it any faster, you know, it's always important to let go. I like trying different things, but then you gotta, then you have to, you know.
02:21:12
Right, right. My guess is that it's probably not, but, but, you know, I don't care if it's the right stuff. I just, I think we, we, we gotta be honest with ourselves too and go, or it could be like, if you really analyze it, he's probably a second or two faster, but, you know, but I like it. Okay. You know, if the difference is negligible.
02:21:50
I don't care about that, eh? For me, I guess I'm kind of baby about it, because I also don't really want to put tinsel all over my hand. Huh? Like, I also put tinsel all over my hand. Like, I guess that's probably another reason why I use it. Yeah, I always put those gloves on, too. That's the thing, too. I mean, it's my fault, but I was supposed to have sent you a list last night, but no gloves.
02:22:21
Yeah, gasoline. I've got gloves. So, I'll get that for you. I try to keep them just for me, you know. But I also, like, grab stuff that I know, like, yeah. So, I don't mind, like, big... I buy the extra packs.
02:24:02
You want them now or you want me to just throw them in the sink? Um, you can just do it because of the dry stuff. Can you see this? We'll fix it later. Clean your tools.
02:24:35
I forgot about this one yesterday. A blade. Hey, can I see your blade? A good habit to have is just keep a bucket of water handy. Toss it in. Oh, I just left the...
02:25:18
Second that thing loosens up, you know, so the habit is always cut away and then make sure that your hand is out of the, you know, right. That's a bad habit I have. As a manager, I get to see everybody's issues, right? Did it get you nervous? Huh? Did it get you nervous?
02:25:50
Yeah, absolutely. Well, but what I mean is that I've employed hundreds of people over the years, right? And so, you know, even though the injury rate is very small, you know, I get to see it. What's the worst that you've seen, like a bad injury? the worst injury i saw was a guy cutting his hand open the back of his hand in a screw and i'll just.
02:26:26
say that that screw should have taken him so you know and it was like my number two guy and i'm like dude you know better you know you've told me stories of people you've seen like a school that wouldn't mean it was like a big screws that like you know go those things will grab you and it'll take you you're dead huh those big screws that are like you know 10 feet long 12 inches wide.
02:27:03
you know he was lucky that day yeah so there was a piece of plastic in there he didn't want to get to go into the material so he went and grabbed it real quick and it caught him, and uh but like that's the guy i told you that i met with the other night you know he's a safety guy by trade and he's you know he had one guy try to stop a belt on a motor with his hands, lost two fingers came back three weeks later did it again lost two more fingers and he's.
02:27:37
like dude i gotta fire you now you know you know what are you doing he lost four fingers and so. Yeah.
02:41:14
Thank you.
02:50:09
Rene, couldn't you take some water? The outside areas that are on top of the membrane, see? Let's clean that up.
02:50:40
Every time you finish, it's like perfect, you know? Yeah. But the more you kind of just take these little details and whatnot and work with them, you know, the more... you'll find that you're just life will become easier because you know you come back tomorrow.
02:51:14
or whatever you're like oh shoot it's right over there i got to take this off without messing up the membrane yeah no that's the reason why i didn't want to bc pro it's just because it's like we always end up doing something so i'm not looking for you know perfect perfect but.
02:51:46
you know just those little touches will save you time in the long run and uh when you do the work it'll end up going like people are like man these guys clink.
02:54:55
Thank you.
03:09:29
The lights, they're a little bit further out more than the other. We build the rapid site out to it. Make it flush to the wall. Make it flush. Guys, remember I was telling you about how the lights were past the wall? Yeah. So I just wanted to know if you should build the...
03:10:04
We want it flush, and then they'll put the plaster on behind that. So it might be easier for you if you use the... I don't think you can think of the bigger one. The bigger one?
03:10:35
Yeah. That way you can compress it and shape, it at the same time.
03:12:58
Thank you.
03:15:16
All right.
03:18:25
Hey, you. Good. Plugging away. Come with you.
03:19:22
Well, I think, look, I mean, they're, it's clear that they're, you know, it's not fine, right? Sure.
03:20:35
mm-hmm well yes yesterday Eric was on his iPad and I'm like guys what are we doing you know.
03:21:36
Like, the most consistent thing they say about you is that you don't stretch well, you know? Like, why do we have to be reading while you're stretching? Like, you're not even, you know, you're suffering because you're not doing the work. I mean, or you're doing the work and you're not even doing it right.
03:22:38
Right. He was reading, but again, it's like, if you're not doing it the right way, then, you know, something's gotta change.
03:23:28
Right, right.
03:25:00
No, I get that, but I also say, like, I think a lot of that is just how we've got to be trained to think a little bit better. It's like, you know, so for instance, like, you know, Eric calls me this morning, and he's like, hey, you said that I could change the resistance on the rowing machine. And I'm like, okay, well, and he tells me on his watch, and I'm like, okay, well, you know, why don't you FaceTime me?
03:25:42
And he's like, well, I don't have my iPad. And I'm like, well, Eric, I don't have this memorized. Like, he's like, okay, so, and of course his iPad's dead, you know, and then so he gets it all hooked up and everything. he's like pointing at it and i'm like eric i can't read it like if you if you can't read it on the screen then i can't read he's like okay and so i read something and it's like okay it's.
03:26:21
none of those what else is there and he's like well i don't have to do that because if i like, back off the screen and you'll say you can't read it like what right and so we're literally like so then he starts like zooming in on places i'm like eric i can't read it and i'm like if you can't read it i can't read it you know and he's like well it's just like well just read it off to me because i i can't read it you know and he's still like and of course he's reading like.
03:26:53
the very bottom right and i'm like you know what dude after i asked him three times, position the camera in a way that i can read it i was like you know what dude like just chat gpt it and if you can't figure it out i'll stay on the phone with you just check it out here it is it's like i don't know how to make this different for you when you're like you know it's real simple.
03:27:26
if i can't read it if you can't read it i can't read it why aren't we making adjustments you know.
03:28:09
I'm not even saying punish. I'm just going like, you're not a dumb kid. How is it that you can't figure out what I want? That stuff's my struggle. This is what is going on, you know?
03:29:25
Right. Well, and that's why I got, that's why I went out to Eric yesterday. Like, he got punished too. And it's like, because it's like, dude, you know, you are like not paying attention around here.
03:30:43
that we talked about in the film, right?
03:31:18
No, legitimate concern.
03:31:58
i don't blame you there i appreciate it i'm uh on my older boys are too just just mad.
03:32:56
yeah yeah i'm on the nerve i called you wait oh you mean oh lu oh the shadow day nothing yeah yeah.
03:34:03
Um, yeah, so you have the, uh, I have the one thing that we, I'll put that, I'll put it on the back. I don't need it, I'm good. So, yeah, we've got, we did the raise yesterday.
03:35:37
You don't even talk to me. Yep. Bye.
03:37:35
Okay. Yeah, let me I yeah, actually we actually never just talking about like I'm like what is going on tonight.
03:38:10
And she's like, yeah, she cut me off. She's like, hey, I'm getting a call. I'll call you right back, so, Let me. i know there's something going on um but let me get the details i mean on the you know i don't see an issue so i i have zero issues with gray being a part of the boys um i i just don't know what what the thing that we're doing is i know i know she's got something some some kids are coming.
03:38:45
over other than that i think we did once i think i think we did we went to your place in trick or dream.
03:39:53
yeah i mean i don't see a problem with it of course eric was like hey so since my friends are coming over um let's come straight here i need to be down i'm not you know if anybody spent the night they probably won't get out you guys are going to bed early because if you keep.
03:40:23
me here dude i i literally i thought about not soundproofing the upstairs but sound like putting like a door um at the hallway you know so it's not the upstairs that's bad.
03:40:54
sound yeah it's it's the uh it's the like i swear it's like the wood floors you know so. well but no i mean i i need i i i need that i need that you know you know um.
03:41:35
oh that'll be all right so she'll never give up her french doors. Well, but it's like anything.
03:42:57
I didn't, you know, and so I had that, you know, I'll give you my, you don't presume there's no, right. And, and I, I recognize that I create an environment that probably door, right. A long time ago. But I've done everything in my power to, you know, but, you know,
03:43:52
But I don't feel loved, I'm empty, you know, and that's, I wish there was a different, you know, like, I like when you buy me gifts, it's great, I do feel, I, I, intellectually, I feel loved at that point, you know, like, now you're good, so, um, and that's very hard, that's very hard for her to accept, but it's like, wishes are going to stop, I'm just not like that, and, you know, you, you didn't change, right, like, but there's, there's something that's keeping you from doing that, just like anything, how do you, how do your wife say it?
03:44:43
But, and I'm working on it, but it's like, it's just like, love that. You won't enjoy any of this until you start practicing any of it, you know. Right, right. Loving actions. Right. But on the other, but even the other side of it, right?
03:45:14
Like, you know, you talk to people you don't really care to talk to in the church, but, you do it because it's at church or life group or whatnot. But after a while, you're like, you know, no one's hanging out. I'm not ready to necessarily be a person, but you know what? I genuinely care for all these people. For more actions of love, you know.
03:46:25
Right. And I'm not even, you know, right. That's how I feel. Like when I bend forward or lean forward in church or whatnot, I start rubbing my nuts. You know, I feel all the juice coming. That's what they're thinking.
03:47:25
It's not, you know, it's a lot of the world, you know, I've just, I've got so much going on, the boys are getting along, like that, exactly, and so, and this isn't, like, what about me, if we're keeping the main thing the main thing, you know, you've got to work on it, you know, and maybe, maybe you don't need to do it, I'm not saying you have to expand your tank, I'm just saying, please do.
03:48:23
Oh, I'm... I'm good.
03:49:36
I don't know, honestly, I mean, it was up to their father. I gave everything, I came home, I didn't even want to give you. You know, and that's what they did to you. But it's our job to love them through that, you know, right?
03:50:37
Yeah, that's what is the loving act about my dog.
03:51:26
Okay. Let's try to make sure there's room for him. I guess I fill on out every time.
03:52:19
Suma, yeah, I'll let you know. I think that I don't think it'll be an issue, but I'll let you know. Thank you. Um, let's not forget to, uh, let's not forget to pressure wash that, and then we should pressure wash this. Okay, I'm still seeing the, uh, calcium, so feel free to, like, go at it, right?
03:52:58
Yeah, with the concrete, yeah, yeah, with the concrete, like, I want, I want to scrape it, and then we can even pop these guys off, too, but yeah, I want all this white stuff off. Okay. And then if you do the same thing for this guy, I didn't notice it, you know, a couple days ago. Today, I'm like, oh, man, we might have to rough that up. What are we going to be able to do? Oh, well, we have to, uh, we have to fix the pipes up.
03:53:30
Okay, so we'll pressure wash everything in here, and then we'll fix the concrete. Okay. Uh, yeah, he's behind. So, he said the, uh, the liquid for the membrane seed that he had must have gotten diluted somehow when he combined it. It wasn't right. It was brown and purple. That's fine.
03:54:07
Remember, I only need five-eighths, right? So, we don't need to go in too much. Just look right here, because you don't want to put the, if we put the, uh, plaster on too thick, it can crack too. Gotcha. So, I can give you the, okay. Yeah, I'd put in a little bit more.
03:56:32
BANG!
