Speaker 1 00:00:29
Thanks for watching!
Speaker 1 00:01:51
Thank you.
Speaker 2 00:04:08
I'm going to drop the other stuff that I've got. I'm just going to drop it right now. I prefer to get that done. and all over the place.
Speaker 1 00:07:29
Thanks for watching.
Speaker 3 00:08:28
Okay, okay.
Speaker 2 00:08:50
Well, where are we going to demo? Over my nose. No, not right here. Right? That's the yellow part that we're not touching. Up here. Right? So. On the top. Yeah. I think, come around here so I can, I would say, you know, I'm not really concerned about air passing through. I just want, I want the dust to stay out. Right?
Speaker 2 00:09:20
Gotcha. So we can, you know. Run tape on it. Tape this. And tape this. It wasn't sticking to the mortar bed, I mean the... Right, that's why I was saying we can get like a half inch or something like that. Okay. And we just kind of stick the tape, or stick the plastic to the tape. Okay. You know, and then just come down to here, or here, right? So this will be open, right?
Speaker 2 00:09:58
Except for this little bit here.
Speaker 1 00:11:06
What are you looking for. 
Speaker 4 00:11:10
My razor blade. Here, I've got more than one.
Speaker 1 00:11:14
Here.
Speaker 2 00:11:39
stuff like this we don't need to be exact right so feel free to like pull it he actually said that but i for some reason i was thinking that we were going to the bush right i'm just saying that when we try to get exact with this stuff we just end up screwing ourselves like right now so brandon you can put another piece down i wouldn't do it like that right but if you do that then we're going to be touching that membrane seat right so again if there's extra that's fine.
Speaker 2 00:12:19
right you're just looking for it to be able to dry.
Speaker 2 00:12:51
I don't care about the wings so much, we'll deal with that, so before he says he wants to come up to the top, but I want to be able to grind all this down without all the dust going in.
Speaker 2 00:14:50
Most of the issue is that it's prickly, right? It's got that texture. When you get in the texture, you know, then we're good. As far as, like, I don't really care about wasting the plastic. Exactly.
Speaker 2 00:15:37
And again, we don't care as much about down here as we do up here. Yeah. We want to make sure that we're not putting ourselves in a situation.
Speaker 3 00:15:54
It's going to start holding.
Speaker 2 00:16:57
We put it down on the bottom, and then we come around and do the same thing on this side.
Speaker 2 00:17:33
Liz, Mike, and I, just like you last year, we've been putting it down.
Speaker 1 00:18:08
You good or?
Speaker 1 00:19:16
Thanks for watching!
Speaker 1 00:20:24
Thank you.
Speaker 1 00:21:27
Thanks for watching. 
Speaker 2 00:23:11
How are you? Another day. Another day, another dollar. No, a penny for that. That's true. For you it's a dollar. No, for ethics.
Speaker 5 00:23:22
That's 100. Yeah. For you a dollar and me a penny. Welcome.
Speaker 1 00:23:55
Ow. 
Speaker 6 00:24:39
We can fix that as we go to here, so if you roll this part up or something, we don't need.
Speaker 2 00:25:09
to cover the bottom, right? You can go right there. One thing I like about tape also is that you can put the tape on like this and pull it. And then I can grab it.
Speaker 6 00:25:31
There you go.
Speaker 2 00:26:04
You get sent out enough times to do stuff that you don't have a helmet. If you come up with fancy ways. Yeah, I know how that is. We don't need to go too much, right? We just need to cover it. So the tighter you make it, the harder it's gonna be.
Speaker 2 00:26:39
We just wanna, this is only gonna be on for a couple hours, right? So if you go crazy, then you're gonna end up spending more time making it than you are, so. So there's a way to do it on the spine? I think we're okay. I mean, this is pretty hard in here. Yeah, this part of here seems dry. So, you know, I think we're okay. And then I just kinda like look at it and go, okay, where's dust gonna get in?
Speaker 2 00:27:10
Oh, let me put some tape over there real quick. Let's just kinda double check our work. oh you know i'm gonna try some cake in here right so the question is always how can this go wrong right instead of what most people want to go is i think that's enough i ask the opposite question.
Speaker 2 00:27:41
not as much as you know you would expect but you know and the last thing you want is the dust to get into the waterproofing it's still wet right i'd rather take an hour set this up you know. oh it's rose stuff so knowing that it's rose stuff.
Speaker 2 00:28:15
Look at what we have here, right? So, we'll want to put something up this way too to keep it from throwing it at the window. Yeah, yeah. Just something to catch it, yeah.
Speaker 1 00:28:36
That'll be it. That's, that'll be it. Who knows. 
Speaker 2 00:28:58
Is this broom ours? Huh? It's mine, yeah. Okay, sorry. Is this yours? I'm just messing with you. Yeah. Well, yes, I remember that, I just, but the other guy looked at me like it was his, like, what are you doing in my room, so, um, we got a little bit here that probably needs to be taped up, and then I, and then we can, and then we can tape down that.
Speaker 4 00:31:37
There he is.
Speaker 2 00:31:38
Do you have anybody in there? Not yet. I haven't got a start for it in a minute. No, it's still inside. It's still a little... So, I don't want them...
Speaker 4 00:31:59
So, did they hit everything? All these stuff were basically that top? Yeah. The eyes are red. Oh, no. I think I'm fine. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:32:37
they're just waste calling huh thank you oh on that side just a second no i'm not going to ask.
Speaker 4 00:32:50
so the latest on this i don't know what we're going to talk about and he knew i was coming.
Speaker 4 00:33:35
so he's like what time, I don't know if you can talk about stuff or if you don't know what's here, but anyway. Don't forget we've got those lights. We're going to do it right now. The detail, I just want to make sure that...
Speaker 2 00:34:07
So I think the question is start looking at it the next step, right? And I think here too, honestly I think we want to look, if we're going to throw stuff right, we've got exposed stone right there, we've got to protect that too, right? So I would bring that here, so I'd bring the plastic on this side of it.
Speaker 4 00:34:38
Right, again, the question always has to be what can go wrong with it. The spring nut that goes in there, the bolt that goes down, and with the end clip that clamps down to the plastic to the tub, dude, how are you doing? Like, where's he going? That's where he's going.
Speaker 5 00:34:58
The only thing with that is if we attach it to that, we're not going to be able to remove it. If we ever need to get it, that would be the only issue. If you ever want to, you know, clean that or anything.
Speaker 4 00:35:13
Yeah, but there should be no reason to, I mean, usually we don't have any removal. I mean, you could. The only way to really do that, though, would be to remove a piece of stone and a piece of grass or something. Right, like, so the way we did the drains, like the suctions, they're all going to be close.
Speaker 4 00:35:45
So, assuming this is our cantilever, right, that line, the drains are close, so you can actually reach your hand in there and clean them out if something got in, that's one of the things. And then, so everything's accessible, sort of, from that front, you know, three or four inches, so. And then we could also put all the M-clips, hold down, how often do you want the clips to hold down the brake? 24 inches. Every time, so we could, we could do it in the grass. 
Speaker 7 00:36:14
In the grass, because it all depends on this, but, you know, I would like two clips at least, you know, or minimum one.
Speaker 4 00:36:21
Yeah, yeah, so, like, the clips can be recessed, right, you can notch, this is how we've done it before, notch the grate, recess the clip, and then if you had to, or it was a, the nut or something was a little high, you could just, you know, lock it down.
Speaker 5 00:36:34
How much spacing did you leave between, you know, three and a half? Yeah, you got it. I can use...
Speaker 4 00:36:39
two inch grate. Yeah I was gonna say you have inch and five eighths so you could go with the thick you got three quarter plus what a sixteenth the other thing we talked about is filling all the holes of the grates with thinset or mortar or something and the reason would be just to densify some of that noise he's concerned that it's going to sound hollow so like kind of like how you guys did with these right yeah just fill them all right like that's I mean I'm not the one.
Speaker 4 00:37:11
doing it see that that's why I love you yeah yeah you want to do we got it so what we'll do is I'm going to calc it out the strut can't really do thicker all thread because the strut holes are certain, diameter or width. I'm going to just do half inchers, which is not your issue, but then that.
Speaker 4 00:37:44
strut will go across at the same, we'll clamp it in place and then we'll be able to adjust it and lock it in place to be right at the bottom of the grate, right after we put them in. And then what we'll do is we'll run something to the side and put an L bracket and clamp it. So it won't have, lateral movement. If we're going to secure it, we can just turn it to the, yeah, we're going to, we're going to secure it all the way through the bottom and then we'll secure it to the inside of the tank. So everything should be contained and then you'll be able to lay a grate on it. And.
Speaker 4 00:38:19
like I said, we can do the end clip so you can clip it down and then we're prepping right now for waterproofing here. So basically this is our line. yeah but you know what we're not going to anchor it to that because it's just it's just well it just depends on where that layout ends up right like if you had to do something there you could.
Speaker 4 00:38:54
okay yeah no no just push hammer this today just surface prep all this waterproof to a certain point this is all pretty much and i'm going to try to do it because before we do that we need the trough so well before you install any stone yeah that's what i was telling them i said look i'll move along the waterproofing the dowels the strut the support stuff i called him last week.
Speaker 4 00:39:30
that guy had to get done welded we filled it in and waterproof again, but that's just a tie-in detail up there you'll be able though to at least get the grates at certain point so we have that we can stick and play with that so we have work to do how much gap we're.
Speaker 7 00:39:55
gonna have between for for the water to go in like six inches no it's like five four or five inches.
Speaker 4 00:40:03
and we talked about potentially doing a water jet piece of uh stone so it would be like this stone over a grate that way it supports it and keeps it from cracking the stone if you water jet a bunch.
Speaker 2 00:40:18
of like slots in it hey alex you're gonna be bringing stuff in let's set up another piece of wood so you can put stuff on top okay as long as you're thinking through that have it machined.
Speaker 4 00:40:31
just so it looks really consistent.
Speaker 5 00:40:38
Yeah, which is one hole or what do you want for a water tank? It's size.
Speaker 4 00:40:50
I'm thinking it's a slotted, here let me show you. I'm not giving you a dream, you need to act as a dream. Yeah, it's a dream, so. Now like, do you think you have a machine? Get a machine, it's coming out. No, like, it's what this slot is. For a shop or for the field. 
Speaker 7 00:41:19
No, no, for the shop. All we do every time is shop it, just bring it.
Speaker 4 00:41:48
filled with something it looks like that water is coming down the wall it's gonna it's gonna break right circle tension a little bit it's gonna slip kind of like what you have over there but we do it with some sort of and then it's got either a grate or a stainless plate the, grate the grate would allow it to i mean i would run it all the time we've had this conversation but if you don't somebody turns it off the grate with m1 you use m1 right with m1 structural.
Speaker 4 00:42:21
adhesive yeah but it's uh oh there it is but it it allows that flexibility because that water move a little bit the grate will hold it together and then it just allows that apparatus to last longer look all the way your stone is here that's the alignment with that wall the face of that stone. the wall for this in in you have that thing up still in this gap so that is there and that.
Speaker 4 00:43:02
is the stone that we have is this stone oh yeah it's on yeah so essentially you're on top of this grid so the grain is going to go all over and then you've got this one piece and that piece is removable so we can get in there and then this is that great stone like the face of that and then that's that same rate stone i think they have the smooth piece on top i would do it yeah well we're.
Speaker 4 00:43:34
going to have more of this this thing we're going to do the whole thing there the floor of everything yeah i would do this smooth this one rake this one rake smooth on the floor, just the detail side we'll see what we have you don't have to go to the floor because you are going to lose it right here right you just want it to go past that so it looks consistent i think.
Speaker 7 00:44:05
but you don't have to go all the way we're going to do the whole chalk and stone thing oh are you the whole thing i just think you do this just this this you're not you've never seen any of.
Speaker 5 00:44:30
this ever right okay the question is now here's here's the different stone is this going to be the same stone as the top this is the redstone.
Speaker 4 00:44:47
It's essentially what we're doing on there right yeah because I think what they have in there is they have a smooth piece raked and then rake they have nothing I don't think they have anything there although I don't think that's a good idea like I would put something here and here the water is always going to be up here at the top of that but I still would do something. I've got no.
Speaker 3 00:45:10
problem doing stone. Oh that one's thicker. Are you going to have plaster here? So we've.
Speaker 4 00:45:30
waterproofed it already and then we're going to put a thing called pc pro over the finish which protects the waterproofing basically and that was actually what I was going to talk to him about is we're going to for right now we're going to protect here here.
Speaker 8 00:45:43
And here, we're going to leave that center section open for our dowels. We have to come drill. We have to actually bring a piece of strut and template it.
Speaker 4 00:45:51
so that the holes line up perfectly with the slots. I'm trying to get that done. But, yeah, it's already based waterproof mostly here. We've got to do the sides when we're flowed or whatever. But I would need to get our stuff and weld it on top before you really stone on it. Yeah, I mean, let me know when you're ready. But you can start shop drawing over stone.
Speaker 4 00:46:25
I could do it. You're a pro. No, I'm not a pro at this. Oh, you're not a pro? You are a pro. You're a consummate pro. I'm just learning. You're learning how to deal with me. Take a picture of that. It's going to look like that. Yeah. All right. Sounds good. Okay. Did he come? This weekend. Oh, OK.
Speaker 7 00:46:56
Are you doing any overflow. 
Speaker 4 00:46:58
Yeah, we need to notch. That's what we're going to put it on this side. I think that was what we all talked about, right? Put it on this side. So we'll notch that in. That's what we need to connect that to the drain. Yeah, and what we'll do is we'll notch it in, we'll set it, and then we'll mortar over it, lock it in place, and it's all yours. But I think, yeah, we were doing this side because we got more fall. A reminder, it's in the picture, but anyway, so yeah,
Speaker 4 00:47:30
I'll get, I'll talk to, I don't know if these guys are doing something right now. I think they're going to be done today. I'm going to try to get them here. world. Right. Do the whole threads. Actually, both templates. I need to do them. Cool. And, yeah.
Speaker 5 00:48:17
Is there any specification that you want me to use for the thinset? We just used 254.
Speaker 4 00:48:29
For what? Here? On the onset? I would use 254. That's what I always do. I mean, that... I would, so, I mean, that's all, like all your stuff is going to be, well, okay, so... i'll just make sure yeah some of the waterproofing requires different yeah so.
Speaker 4 00:49:05
because it takes some of the variable out yeah are you good with uh do you want me to go by rock i'm gonna be over there later but.
Speaker 4 00:49:44
I'll call you when I'm done. Yeah, let me know.
Speaker 5 00:49:52
Danny was there. And then all of a sudden it's. And then we heard two later.
Speaker 4 00:49:60
The key to the bowl is that it gets in the line, force it higher, and it never went away. It takes longer, but. Oh, come here. I had to go in yesterday, I forgot. Yeah, yeah, no, I gotcha.
Speaker 4 00:50:32
So, the way we would do this, is we would waterproof that thing. You can start there. And then we would go. With vacuum? Like, with Moistras. be like a bonded and then we use we use a lot of creep and then we would float again or then we would waterproof again yeah so that's what you do 254 with 3701 right that's your float to screed it off perfectly plumb level so the way we would do it is we would float it out to within so latter.
Speaker 4 00:51:02
creep for especially for submerged they want like 3 16 of an inch thinset no more right so we're using 254 maybe if you get to quarter if it's dry you can probably go a little thicker but.
Speaker 5 00:51:14
underwater they want it and same thing for um same thing for lat epoxy 300. float and then we go with you know again you know the uh the hydro bond you know right to fill that so if you're.
Speaker 4 00:51:25
going to float it 254 yeah for that i would use hydroban cementitious which is the cementitious one they have now if you're going to float it so that's the way we would do it is we would, float and then membrane again whatever the other hydrogen cementitious or membrane seed, and then we would then set and you know make sure your float is within you know three three sixteenths quarter but i would use for the wet stuff without epoxy 300 for sure and so you're.
Speaker 4 00:51:56
going to actually and it's up to you how you do the metal but the metal plate that goes across that gives that really skinny detail like what i showed in that picture is going to have welded wire mesh on both sides where you're going to install stone and from there you could we could do it a couple different ways the way i would do it if i was going to float it is i would prime it and we can do that with an epoxy part of the reason i did this material as our first waterproofing.
Speaker 4 00:52:27
is because we have the metal and i think there's certain details that we have to tie in with the metal that this company has specific recommendations for that laticrete doesn't really get into with the metal and so what i would do is i would probably epoxy or, It's called MiraPrime MP, MetalPrime, it's MP now, right? Epoxy with sand, and then when that cures you guys, 254 sponge coat and float with 3701 to your thicknesses. That's why I did this material, is because I expect that.
Speaker 4 00:52:59
So, we have this plate that comes in here, that dies in here, and I got to seal that up and tie that in to the side to make sure that's watertight, right? Because I'm not relying on your stone to keep the water in that upper trough. It's going to migrate out if I don't do it right, so, but yeah, I would use, I would personally use Latipoxy 300, because, I mean, Google seems like you can spend what it takes, I mean, Latipoxy 300 is a little more expensive, but. Here's not a problem, I mean, none of that, it's an issue, believe me.
Speaker 4 00:53:33
Yeah, but then you'll never get. The efflorescence. Like, the D-LAM-254 is strong, but the last box, I don't know what's on the backside of that stone. That one? Dude, it's just... Well, how do they... We just fixed it. Yeah, I saw that. Whoever did it, it's... I mean, they probably used, you know, Home Depot crap. Right. And that's Wonderboard, too, like, that they put on it. Yeah. Um, what, uh...
Speaker 5 00:53:56
He goes, like, why don't you pull everything out? I was like, no. You just, like...
Speaker 4 00:53:59
You pull it out, you're gonna lose it. Yeah, it's gonna crack.
Speaker 5 00:54:01
And just to do the waterproofing in there, it's gonna be a nightmare.
Speaker 4 00:54:07
Um, on the stone itself, do you have the slabs or they're his? No, I do. Is it, like, meshed on the back? Or what's on the backside? Is it something on the back to hold it together? Or do they do, like... It's mesh on the back. It's mesh? On this... On the, uh... On the back of the stone. Yeah. What I would do... Do you have a small piece with that mesh somewhere? The exact same piece? Ah, no. It's in my truck. Like, straps or, like, um, remnants? I don't... No.
Speaker 5 00:54:35
what i would do i think there was a piece like four inches like the same because they i don't know someone started cutting it okay it looks like this guy started cutting they up.
Speaker 4 00:54:42
right another one i would just make sure that that material that so we're on a big job that's, failed like two or three times and i've been there as a consultant watching them apart.
Speaker 5 00:54:54
like yeah what we do we always you know if we can sometimes well now we have to grind them in.
Speaker 3 00:55:04
exactly that that painter's card that you had layer like you're wiping.
Speaker 4 00:55:33
out like the water got between so whatever happened it didn't bond properly but see that the 254 just but 254 bonds to almost anything but if you surface prep the back of that slab right and then obviously clean it off and make sure there's nothing on there the 3701 or the flat box of 300 like will bond without anything as long as it's not moving it'll bond forever you know if it's flexing and moving then you might have a different issue but so anyway that's what i would do if it were us i would go from here float then membrane again at the back of that yeah first at the.
Speaker 4 00:56:12
beginning all this the fault problem that you don't yeah okay but and so what we did here too is we tried to get you further out so you have less build up like they have massive mountain build up on that stone so we went there in uh inch and a half. and then somehow yeah you gotta figure out so that's what i think that's what.
Speaker 3 00:56:40
these are those are the details that guy gives me right like how things fall down the water.
Speaker 4 00:58:17
Yeah, but that's where the devil is, where you get trouble.
Speaker 3 00:58:49
I think we asked him to find out what he thinks he wants.
Speaker 4 00:59:50
You guys, we're shut down.
Speaker 3 01:00:07
There's something up. Six months, wait.
Speaker 4 01:00:31
That was you pushing, you know, all that stuff. And they said six months. The mother was like, oh, six months. I said, I would say six months is safe. Mata said, you don't want six months. I'd rather it's here now than there. Oh, it was her? I was thinking it was the mom. But yeah, and then you come back with that thing like, you can't build anything, especially when you got your hand on her down on the, plus now she wants an all like large format stone interior. So all the walls have to be square. So just so you know, your excavation is going to be 12 inch walls, 12 inch walls. And if we get into the, if we get into fill, it's going to be partially fill and partially maybe native. If there's a line where you can see the fill and the native, you got to dig out everything.
Speaker 3 01:01:32
That's all good.
Speaker 4 01:01:52
i was on the job friday in albuquerque race car driver now the guy called me out i went out there. i was like i saw this on his site i'm like he's like i said i saw this house next door.
Speaker 4 01:02:25
we're working he's like oh where they're doing those things i think he's been there for a while but anyways one of the pictures i saw of it finished it had all these constructions.
Speaker 7 01:02:55
We're going to be chipping away at it. No way.
Speaker 1 01:02:58
The mechanicals.
Speaker 4 01:03:29
It's like they do the wood siding on the houses on the cliffs. Which is good.
Speaker 4 01:04:23
Yeah, when did they move the Franklin? Almost done, right? Have you been working there? He said, hey, I called you on this one, and you told me you were too busy for me. At the time, I couldn't take on any new work. And you were also building for a spec building, right? Like, some spec. Who's that? We were busy.
Speaker 3 01:04:53
They've probably been there for a while. Did you say four years? Sometimes it's like, you know, like all of a sudden they don't have like...
Speaker 4 01:05:07
You know, we're redesigning the whole thing. The basements are important. It's like... Okay. We've got a bunch of plumbing. We're supposed to get a contractor's pool and spa.
Speaker 4 01:05:42
Hydraulics, right? Yeah, the movable floor pool. Yeah. And then he, uh... I want all the water features included to get set up. Oh, by the way, you know what we want? Yeah, this one over here. 
Speaker 7 01:05:60
The way it is, it looks like a building.
Speaker 3 01:06:04
No salt parking. No, I didn't want to look for it. That's those water features up there.
Speaker 4 01:06:12
You're talking about infinity, right? A lot of money going. All stone, all service tanks, mechanical rooms underground. I mean, it's like, you're not talking about $200,000.
Speaker 1 01:06:27
You're talking about, I mean, you might not be able to do much.
Speaker 8 01:06:53
That's right.
Speaker 2 01:06:54
I think once we get both sides, this one and this side, we can pull it off and take a look. We can probably, I wanted a mortar bed for a thousand. I don't know if we'll be able to get to them all.
Speaker 4 01:07:13
Yeah, the way it is, yeah. You know. If you're growing it today, it's probably not enough.
Speaker 7 01:07:17
I do want to gouge on the wall so I can get the plates installed. I've got to get the plates welded.
Speaker 2 01:07:50
looking at like i got a perfect little setup to be portable but i don't i don't have a perfect little setup to be portable at two sizes because i've got literally what i set up we've got extra, of everything to kind of run out of something today it's funny that they don't think what do.
Speaker 4 01:08:27
you do with toilet paper like do you go buy it after you're sitting on the toilet like what do i do right now yeah that you're literally asking me yeah well but no i mean we buy the big one.
Speaker 2 01:08:44
yeah when you get to the bottom row you know or one little pack left depending on.
Speaker 2 01:09:43
So, my new theme, if you will, is with these guys. The question is not, is it good enough? The question is, what can go wrong? Okay, we got this.
Speaker 3 01:10:06
It really is my thing.
Speaker 2 01:10:08
Right.
Speaker 5 01:10:29
Do you have tape. 
Speaker 3 01:10:34
You can push it up here.
Speaker 4 01:11:57
I need to get Rudy. Yeah, but let me just go over.
Speaker 2 01:12:40
So it's that yellow line, right? So this thing is not getting done. So if we're here, I dip in an inch or two. For this, I wouldn't try to get all this. This is all fine. I'd just try to get this a little bit. It bounces around a little bit. If I'm getting this, it's going to hit this. Right. Do you have a level over there. 
Speaker 3 01:13:10
I have a level. A little torpedo level. 
Speaker 4 01:13:22
I think first, do we have a, yeah. If we could see how this, this, if they ended up being higher, it's supposed to be at this level. But we should be down from here, so if you look at it over there, this comes up to the bottom. And then, yeah.
Speaker 5 01:13:57
Just the torpedo level, and I know it's not long. No, that's fine. I mean, it's not long right now. Give you a better idea. 
Speaker 4 01:14:12
Yeah, so I think that's it. Make that. Yeah, boom. That one's like 15 years old, and I'll be spading you know.
Speaker 2 01:14:27
Alright. Okay. Then you already know. Yeah, let me... It sounds like they'll be here.
Speaker 4 01:14:35
I think they will. Because I need to at least get the holes done in that one. Which is going to be...
Speaker 2 01:14:43
Before we do anything, let's move that tarp and protect all this stuff.
Speaker 4 01:14:53
Five. So I've got to put 20 holes, 25 holes in that one. For the plates that are going on. With little detail holes. M1, sand, membrane with the plates on it. Anchor those down, level them off. But I got to weld those.
Speaker 4 01:15:23
How do you get that? Anything up at the top? No, I mean, so that whole trough is getting made and set over those pipes. Those pipes are stainless, so they'll get cut and welded to the bottom of the trough. And then we have to fill in that gap, which is like, if you look level at it, it's like an inch and a half. Let's grab the 254 inside of it and then pack it in all the way around,
Speaker 4 01:15:56
and then lap up onto it. So then the edge of that M1 sand, lap up onto that, and I'm thinking we'll also, mirror prime the edges that are going to get stoned. If the stone goes bald, it's going to be a lot of, like, figure it out as you go. That's why he wants to see where we're at, because I think he wants to make changes that we go back to I did not Kelly.
Speaker 4 01:16:34
No, that's what I was actually looking to see it. Just put all that job. I was at Friday. Good morning, sir. Just check. You happen to see so that job is getting a bunch of hype.
Speaker 4 01:17:15
So when I went, yeah, it's a Friday. Oh, this guy. DHH, what is this? David something Hanson, the guy that made Ruby on Rails software. I think that's Spotify and Basecamp, like he owns part of Basecamp, a lot of things. Yeah, I think he came out of... He's a Le Mans driver. Anyway, he's got this sick album that I checked. We don't have, guys, we don't have that.
Speaker 1 01:17:50
I'll be by today to see the trenching and make sure it's all ready, period.
Speaker 8 01:18:15
Ready, comma, I'll get scheduled, period. I'm working on scheduling period. Is everything 100% ready, question mark. 
Speaker 7 01:18:35
There's a fire, so it's drained the plump, you know, that's the mouth of the fire, but it's way up there, so like, drained the pool, cleaned it, whatever, and all of it, put it all out, re-watered for 48 minutes.
Speaker 9 01:19:09
This is the host.
Speaker 8 01:19:59
Yeah, I mean, you've got to stay away from the Baja, so if you're going to go clean Thursday, right, at the end of the day, maybe work on the pipe details, and then give me, it's really just pressure wash that area, make sure there's no, nothing to de-lounge, it'd be a bond breaker for our, our shock treatment, literally one truck on Friday, that's it.
Speaker 4 01:20:24
so it's like a quick and easy thing so they can also be there friday working on that because the.
Speaker 7 01:20:30
opposite side of the pool right the spa and over here there's a bunch of returns there's rebar.
Speaker 8 01:20:36
details inside the pool cover trough that big side with rebar on it's got an alpha rebar and so by doing i mean it's better to make it a day oh yeah and then stuff we can do on that other side on friday because once they're done friday at least be there anyways down and clean up.
Speaker 7 01:21:19
technically in the day friday you can hop.
Speaker 7 01:21:59
Hey, can I have a cup of vodka? Can I have two. 
Speaker 3 01:22:31
I'm going to go get my truck.
Speaker 7 01:22:32
Thank you. Have a good day.
Speaker 4 01:22:45
And then next week, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Thursday is Christmas.
Speaker 2 01:22:53
Want to hear a funny story? Yeah. It's not funny. When Will went and said, oh, I didn't know. I went back to him and I said, you didn't know? And I looked up and I thought he was going to tell you this.
Speaker 2 01:23:31
Friday the money is so much more.
Speaker 2 01:24:16
I'm not even trying to put it on you.
Speaker 4 01:24:29
yeah but i mean but you know so i mean i think if it was you know. i think we just got to stick with what's the policy, you know the reality is this is how it's always been right and you know and then you told him.
Speaker 4 01:25:08
and he still did it anyway you know and it's just like i do i do think he was telling the truth.
Speaker 2 01:25:15
saying that i told the trigger i thought i thought he'd say yeah right i think it's all the truth, Do I think that he, you know, do I think that he looked at the prices? Yeah, do I think he did much after that? Initially, he said, yeah. He'd leave on, he'd make that time, he'd leave on.
Speaker 4 01:25:37
I haven't even, like, hey, did I work a half day, I got this, you know what I mean? Like, something different than, hey, I'm going to take it off. Right? I don't think that's the attitude towards it. No, I don't know, man, it's an erosional movement. I mean, it really is, dude, these guys, Michael would do this all the time. I know. He didn't care. I know. Right? He had the nerve to tell Nemo the other day, was talking to him or something, I guess, Michael Selmick, who was online, told him, you know, I still work for you guys, right?
Speaker 4 01:26:10
Like, yeah, you guys, I was never fired. Like, I still work there. I can go back anytime. Like, you can try. Dude, that mentality. no i mean michael's not working at all right no he's working now you know trying to sell tools online i bet you he's not working martine is uh so uber driver no he's buying and selling cars.
Speaker 2 01:26:40
so it's like don't you get it like you have such a deal.
Speaker 4 01:26:45
well i just got a thing michael's getting deposed. it's like he's still trying to get that free money like that's all he's got left.
Speaker 2 01:26:55
you know what's funny is he's actually the one that i kind of despise the most michael yeah in the sense of like he was the most involved martine was telling you f you you know, not it was like i don't know i mean, michael went on his whole day right like in the sense it was like super shy it was a dozen.
Speaker 4 01:27:21
yeah well he's the smartest one of all right he's the sneakiest smartest one right he and he's got the most um almost in some ways the most area my mother's telling me he's still like.
Speaker 2 01:27:46
i mean he's got a good deal good deal on this you know you know so when you go to the home depot and that's that's the stuff that got him to pull away from yeah well that's the truck thing right yeah well that was christmas oh the truck was christmas yeah yeah but he probably knew about.
Speaker 4 01:28:20
it.
Speaker 2 01:28:21
I'm sure. I mean, they thought, I think they, they all saw all of this. Yeah. What about Raul? Where's he at? Have you heard anything about him? All I heard about him, he's actually one that I, I actually texted him like two weeks ago, like, I miss you. You know, that's something. He takes you back? Yeah. Oh, nice. It was, it was, I was just saying, hey, man, I just, you know, seeing how you're doing. He's out of here.
Speaker 4 01:28:50
Good to see you. Like, out of here. You off on next week? And the following week? You got two weeks off? Well, what does he, well, it depends, right? If you can do whatever you want, unless he's here and needs you, right? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 01:29:22
Are you a soccer fan? Are you kids? You don't play to the interest? I was gonna say, that could be advantageous for you. I'm sure you could get some nice tickets to go see like some World Cup games or something. You should go. Dude, I bet you that's like an incredible experience to go watch a Chelsea game with the Chelsea team.
Speaker 4 01:29:57
Are you talking about the Euro World Cup? Yes. The championship game? Yeah. Oh yeah, that's your dad's favorite team, right? Yeah. No, it was Paris Saint-Germain. Wasn't it PSG? Yeah.
Speaker 2 01:30:22
Oh, yeah, I bet. Soccer is crazy, you know. 
Speaker 4 01:30:32
All right, dude. Have fun. See you. Thanks. How are we looking at Bristol? I just had a fun conversation with Carlos about that, too. Like, do you see how she is? I'm like, yeah, dude. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know, man. Is Zion busy?
Speaker 4 01:31:07
Right. No, I would never say it. No, I mean, my goal is to have it by Friday. I have a lot of people that are due this week. I have a job that... that's my goal don't tell her that but i don't know man i got this other client who's got this, job up on lean bigger than toyota and toyota is on hold so i gotta make a big time.
Speaker 1 01:31:35
i mean that's a big job i mean you could design build that job like they were trying to do but.
Speaker 3 01:32:21
What you guys got. 
Speaker 4 01:32:37
That he's doing? Yeah, and you guys get the right design. Oh, we got one? Thanks. All objections. 
Speaker 7 01:33:13
Well, one.
Speaker 4 01:33:55
Those are exposed after removing plaster, so we will have to make sure we clean that up.
Speaker 4 01:34:28
Take care of it sooner than later, period, hopefully before it rains, period. If it's something we are approved to move on, comma, I can get it scheduled, period. It would be good to get it done before it rains again, period.
Speaker 2 01:35:16
Talking about Raul? Talking crap. Yeah, he's working with you. Last time I heard he was working with Junior. Junior got him a job somewhere. Oh, Junior. That's all I know.
Speaker 4 01:35:32
That one too.
Speaker 2 01:35:34
That one too, yeah. Yeah, no, I was I was he's a good guy. I was bothered didn't I make it according to Michael standard? He still works. Oh because he just didn't respond never. Yeah, never said hey, I'm not coming back.
Speaker 4 01:36:05
Finishing place gets the part today, 11 so yeah, I just I didn't want to drive to Santa Santa Clarita to then pick it up It was an hour and a half from here originally took it, And so my time yeah, even the gas that's more gas.
Speaker 4 01:36:39
So I'm hoping they knock it out right away and we get it back.
Speaker 2 01:36:50
I asked his housekeeper, so what do they do first? She's like, I don't know. I get random things to say, okay, send my mail here, okay, send my mail here.
Speaker 4 01:37:02
They have a daughter that lives in, they're here four years. He told me, back when we did this, so he told me about that. So they were starting to go out there, and I'm sure they are.
Speaker 2 01:37:25
Then they got a place, according to her, they got a place here, Malibu. They got a place in Hawaii. And I don't know. I'm questioning whether or not I can intermix them now. It's those conversations that I don't really care about. All right, let's touch base later.
Speaker 4 01:37:52
I'm going to really, I got to get, you know, I got to win. Still not done. That's why I'm going to go longest. Oh, yeah. Dude, like.
Speaker 2 01:38:19
No, no, I know.
Speaker 4 01:38:20
It doesn't even like jet. And it's like this whole. The assumption the whole time was, you know, but it's always, hey, it's designed, here's the location, we build it, and sometimes it's like, hey, you know, somebody just had a meeting, and it's like, well, on my way here, my wife, like, we don't know that.
Speaker 4 01:39:05
Yeah, no, it's the most I've ever seen. Like, for this type of, this isn't, like, no, but the design stuff, for sure, there was a conversation, and they're drinking from the fire, and then they realize, all right, well, that's all. Thanks, dude, appreciate it.
Speaker 2 01:40:32
Might be too late.
Speaker 1 01:40:41
So, we're going to want to end up getting this, too.
Speaker 2 01:40:55
Yeah. We can wait a little bit. This guy... He's retaken down, huh? He's retaken down.
Speaker 5 01:41:08
To here.
Speaker 1 01:41:11
I thought I was telling, I heard you guys talking, so probably a good way to go about that is to make relief cuts in it, give it a chip it, so.
Speaker 2 01:41:35
Yeah, I'd probably just take your, take this guy and just run over the tape.
Speaker 5 01:41:44
And then we can, okay. Oh, the switching out, yeah, then the plastic started to come off. I did on that side, thinking that it was going to maybe hold a little bit, because sometimes it came down when I ran over. Try to get it as close as you can, snagging the plastic.
Speaker 2 01:42:11
you will have to go over you know if you want to use that do we have the bush hammer bit you didn't bring you didn't bring my yeah i got my big one because mine i think that's right um okay that's fine i might just you don't have to get the cup grinder then i would just get it and get out so.
Speaker 2 01:42:55
ultimately the real question is can we do you know can we walk on it walk on it pipe penetration. the mortar, but if we can't, then that'll be it. I mean, we've got to memorize this, right? So. 
Speaker 3 01:43:26
like, the plastic doesn't have to stay up, but if we're going to create dust, right? This overhang right here, though, is that going to be an issue, or is that something that we can.
Speaker 2 01:43:43
just, you know, apply it? So, that's not going to be an issue, right? So, essentially, these two are going to be the same, right? Identical. So, right, so when you see this guy come across, that's where we're going to take this part off, but they've got plenty of room here, so I'm not worried about that. So, this guy has to come off, so we'll demo that, you know, finish demoing it. Demo this, pressure wash, apply membrane.
Speaker 2 01:44:15
Pressure wash the plastic. Once we're done demoing, we don't need the plastic, right? Provided not everybody's throwing dust out. Too soon for water, sir? Yeah, I mean, you know how much it hates water. I have a whole thing of alcohol. We do alcohol?
Speaker 2 01:44:48
I'm okay with you guys pressure washing this. I might even, like, you know, probably even change it over, change the side over here, you know. Or I could also try to... You could also put the plywood right here while you're pressure washing. I don't think it's, I think it's fine on the other side.
Speaker 2 01:45:24
Yeah. So, yeah. Who do you want me to get right now, Brandon? Are you going to continue with this? I would, because you're already on it. Yeah. Maybe the best thing to do is just kind of put this right here.
Speaker 2 01:45:54
Run the tape like that. You know? That's probably the easiest thing to do. so we'll membrane see so we'll demo that right finish demo membrane to the side pressure wash.
Speaker 2 01:46:29
yeah we should get those two yeah do the same thing yeah so we'll do all that you know take the grinder um real quick after you make those cuts from the other guy and just touch this area if you can't get down here just kind of scrape it okay but no demoing on the top of here no

[AI_SUMMARY]
