Speaker 1 00:00:54
Yeah, so all the way through here.
Speaker 2 00:02:29
see ya yeah now i i thought about it and then i was like and he was super busy because he's.
Speaker 3 00:03:17
like hey man hello goodbye and i'm like oh okay and then he's like let me tell you about this and.
Speaker 4 00:03:43
yeah there were there are two by fours on each one nails there are screws on each one so. right so the only thing i think.
Speaker 3 00:03:59
if you ask me to put money on now the only thing i wouldn't put money on right is when we measured, cross on the cover vault side i went with the cover vault structure um as my as my uh and my straight line instead of um instead because instead of the string line because it was in.
Speaker 3 00:04:32
the pool um at that point so it's possible that if that thing is not square, You know, I think that's a lot for that thing to be out, but if it gives me a little bit, then maybe I can find the rest of it. So, I know that on the cover wall, that one we had to remove because it was on the inside.
Speaker 3 00:05:25
So, let me double check that one measurement. I'm heading back over there now. And then if I can't get past that.
Speaker 2 00:05:40
um i'll i'll hit you up when i know i gotta i gotta get back over there so get it because i don't want.
Speaker 3 00:06:10
to i don't want to talk to jefe without us both going yeah we agree so cool all right man thanks.
Speaker 2 00:09:25
We need to go to Rocky Point and do the membrane C and grout sample.
Speaker 3 00:10:29
I am heading to you now and will be there at 1130, period. Can you prepare the pressure washer, membrane C, grout colors, grout powder, and anything else you think you'll need?
Speaker 3 00:11:28
else you think we'll need so I can pick them up and put them in the front.
Speaker 5 00:15:44
Renee liked your message.
Speaker 5 00:16:22
Alexander said, I'm almost out of gas.
Speaker 3 00:16:44
Okay, I will bring you some, comma, how is your progress, question mark.
Speaker 3 00:18:20
hey dude hey sorry you sent me a text and a flurry of stuff and i just now it's like hey uh i didn't get back to him so um do you did you find those things or do you need me to send me i haven't even looked okay it was like you're just gonna send me something i don't need to do it so that's that's fine that's fine i just uh i didn't want to go look for them and then you're like no i have.
Speaker 3 00:18:52
them i just need something that says it's okay for you know my i need my kevlar you know or teflon um oh that that i need too but yeah i just needed to know which direction to go so um. corey just upended my day so i'm racing around it's like it's never easy you know the perfect, the perfect plumbers are off on their measurements and so now I have to spend all my morning trying.
Speaker 3 00:19:23
to figure out how they missed this you know what what did they miss so I know how to adapt, and then uh it's like Corey's like no I'd rather that that happen today it's like you know what I have to do in order for that to happen today yeah let's make that happen oh okay so um I will. find it send it over to you in a little bit okay I'm looking right now so yeah I don't have hours.
Speaker 3 00:19:56
yet so oh really yeah so well he's got I was just with him he's got a 12 o'clock point appointment somewhere that he's going to get to two minutes late so you probably won't get the hours till you know sometime after one o'clock it might.
Speaker 2 00:20:20
Okay. You alright? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm just sitting here working to dig myself out of a hole.
Speaker 3 00:20:32

See ya.
Speaker 3 00:20:49
Bye.
Speaker 5 00:22:05
Renee said to you and Manuel, translated, do you need a lot of membrane C. 
Speaker 3 00:23:23
enough to repair the membrane C in this picture.
Speaker 5 00:28:03
25623 sent an authorization code.
Speaker 3 00:28:57
Okay, come on. How do you feel about being able to finish today?
Speaker 3 00:31:24
Trash dump 01.14.26.
Speaker 2 00:33:06
Thank you.
Speaker 2 00:35:38
He looks laughing going on.
Speaker 3 00:36:07
Two weeks. Who is. 
Speaker 7 00:36:10
One of my best friends. He's an awesome guy. Very jealous.
Speaker 3 00:36:32
You ever been here. 
Speaker 4 00:36:33
Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:36:33
The Big Island? Uh, that was my first trip, I think. Talk about that.
Speaker 7 00:36:49
More people go to Oahu, and then the next go-to is Maui. Right. Here they are. The Big Island Jesus.
Speaker 1 00:37:03
You know, we all go, right? Oh! Oh, shit. Todos? Todos.
Speaker 8 00:37:16
I was wondering about that.
Speaker 3 00:37:21
Because he needs to finish cleaning. what did you say no yeah okay so we should we should head over there yeah, because we need to uh we need to do the grout and we need the vacuum.
Speaker 3 00:37:53
and uh the grout sample uh too dark that's correct it's too much too much gray so. corey wants four more four more and or different same one just put that uh you know.
Speaker 3 00:38:28
and i'll give you the numbers okay so because you have what like four more pounds of base the sand or the the bubble in it, so and it's and it's the opposite so. yeah so but it's more white less gray.
Speaker 3 00:39:06
i think we have.
Speaker 2 00:40:10
Let's do one more measurement, it's possible then, maybe, so let's check one more.
Speaker 1 00:41:35
How much is off of the square. 
Speaker 3 00:41:38
It's square. It's a problem. This is an eighth. It's not big. This one doesn't matter, but it's square here, square there.
Speaker 9 00:41:51
Put the line here to there. We have three eighths. We measure on the bottom. I don't know if it's a level. We have my property there. We check the dimension. We have three eighths.
Speaker 1 00:42:09
Oh yeah? Oh, but this way. Yeah, we're... i'm three eighths shorter here and there but it's all square but i we didn't do these so that's we started and i was trying to look at their lines i'm like way different so.
Speaker 9 00:43:20
Okay, that's it. Let's see here. It looks like you have 9, 6, 3, 8. Go further back your cube. More cube. There, less, less. There. 9, 6, 3, 8. 9, 6, 3, 8, right. 
Speaker 1 00:43:49
No. Yeah, you just need to... It's already grind. It's already good profile. You just need to watch it.
Speaker 9 00:44:01
But you'll need to grind it to the ground. If it goes deeper, we'll go up. Because you'll need to touch the... We have two steps. Since there's a cube, you can touch it with your feet. but right here we got nine nine six oh right here yeah okay so that's that's right because.
Speaker 1 00:44:41
i went up in here before i said well maybe what i'm thinking is well maybe the walls like that you know so that's why i'm doing a bit for measuring the string line too.
Speaker 2 00:45:30
Ancho, I have a question for you.
Speaker 9 00:46:27
Where is the recorder? I'm going to take that one and I'm going to take the pink one.
Speaker 2 00:47:08
And he answered.
Speaker 2 00:47:39
Fragment. Are you ready to check all the dimensions. 
Speaker 9 00:48:06
Yeah, so it's with both.
Speaker 1 00:48:16
173, well I didn't do long yet. So now I'm 173.38, 173.75 over there.
Speaker 9 00:48:29
Sometimes to make it easy, in my opinion we put a string in the middle. And all the time we burn a fruit.
Speaker 3 00:48:45
Yeah, we burn an egg the same way. For tile, we usually don't have to go, because they do the other crew does the forms.
Speaker 1 00:48:58
But when we set up like this, usually they say, oh, it's better. Well, it used to be the plumbing crew was better than the tile crew. I don't say anything now.
Speaker 6 00:49:14
I don't think it's different guys.
Speaker 2 00:49:21
So, all right, here's my long one.
Speaker 4 00:49:49
I can go different things.
Speaker 3 00:49:53
so that's fine i'll go get um the uh gasolina.
Speaker 9 00:50:01
the tank the tank's not here yeah you're sure yeah the tank's not here because when he brought.
Speaker 4 00:50:06
in the morning i didn't see the tank but it's not a predella because he picked it up.
Speaker 3 00:50:28
no that one's at six.
Speaker 6 00:50:55
Membrana, oye, si. 
Speaker 1 00:51:01
No, poco tiempo pues. Entiendo, pero the grout as well. El grout no puede.
Speaker 6 00:51:21
No, just the sample.
Speaker 3 00:51:26
Only one? But I think while you're doing the grout, he can do the membrane. Yeah, I think put everything in my truck, get lunch, and then go to Rocky Point.
Speaker 8 00:51:50
Okay. Está bien? Está bien. And then I think it's half an hour from here to there. In a half hour. No, I'm not saying it's more time. Right, so... No, I know it's less time. I'm saying it's less time.
Speaker 1 00:52:16
It's a drive, right? Yeah. Oh, it's 30 minutes extra to get home? Yeah. No, no. I can pay you to go over there, right? No, no. No.
Speaker 9 00:52:37
Oh, no.
Speaker 6 00:52:47
Um, so...
Speaker 3 00:52:50
I'll go buy some. I have to take the gas to Alex. and then i'll go to home depot so i want to play uh alex street no you're fine.
Speaker 4 00:56:31
They don't want to make me jump all the way to my foot, right. 
Speaker 6 00:56:37
Oh, you can get your jam bar to go...
Speaker 2 00:58:42
Go ahead.
Speaker 3 00:59:56
i think what oh yeah so i need to go tomorrow there first thing in here let me let me think. maybe maybe it's better to start there because we need the bc pro there, yeah tomorrow but no but tomorrow should we we should do it a little bit time we need more time.
Speaker 3 01:00:27
bc pro should be in the afternoon i don't know let me i'll just think i'll think while i'm driving.
Speaker 2 01:01:31
Do you have the gas? Yes, I do.
Speaker 3 01:03:14
Alex asked for the tips for the pressure washer I don't know why they're not with the pressure washer though he said they're in a little for the other one.
Speaker 4 01:03:45
White box, when you bring the white box with the tips.
Speaker 6 01:04:15
So we have the base and the covers. Yeah, yeah. I want to see this.
Speaker 3 01:05:23
That one's good. He said the other ones are clogged. I can show him how to unclog them.
Speaker 8 01:05:35
I don't like it when he orders. There you go, that's it.
Speaker 4 01:06:04
See you, amigo.
Speaker 2 01:08:31
Thank you.
Speaker 4 01:09:46
I guess you got there first.
Speaker 6 01:12:44
We'll see you next time.
Speaker 4 01:13:23
Where's your pressure washer. 
Speaker 3 01:14:28
So, we're going to have to get these guys a little bit better, yeah? But maybe our tip is a little too strong for it, I think.
Speaker 7 01:14:41
So, would you like a wider one. 
Speaker 3 01:14:44
Yeah. You see what I see, right. 
Speaker 7 01:14:49
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 01:14:51
Okay. And if the tip is clogged in the pressure washer, you should be able to just pop off the tip and poke something through. Yeah, I popped it off, but I don't know what's in it. The white one's your most wide one. I want to say, show us the pattern.
Speaker 7 01:15:15
See, I just put that in. It says 40 degrees, too, so yeah.
Speaker 2 01:15:18
Yeah, 40.
Speaker 3 01:15:27
and by the way the only way it gets clogged is if there's no screen on the inlet yeah. or some gets in behind it right so something gets in with the hose or the pistol. assuming you guys don't want this white stuff on there right i'd say let's fix the pressure washer, my guess is if you can get the pressure washer working right do you have a knife on you.
Speaker 3 01:16:02
yeah so i'm going to take so i brought that other tank and i'll take that with me i'll take your empty one with me.
Speaker 3 01:16:46
No, I brought a yellow one which I stuck on the thing, but I couldn't find that box they I asked them They didn't know like it's like, you know, he's got such a terrible service up there. I'm not gonna bother calling him.
Speaker 7 01:17:01
I mean the tips in my opinion the tip should be with pressure washers, you know.
Speaker 3 01:17:17
Oh, yeah, I saw them as I was. And then also the plug from yesterday. I didn't I didn't All right, it's on me.
Speaker 7 01:17:50
Yeah, I remember you had not like two boxes, but with brand new tips. Right. And the storage things, and then there was one that should be in the bins. Yeah.
Speaker 3 01:18:06
Okay, I mean, he said that one's, that one should be your, yeah, that's the, other than the red. Your red's your most, it's a zero. The yellow, you're 15, so you should be good there.
Speaker 7 01:18:21
Okay, and I'll just, I'll get, well, I get right, like, right on the rebar to get it all off, and then for the, for the forms, the yellow one should be good as well. What should I use. 
Speaker 3 01:18:33
What were you using. 
Speaker 7 01:18:34
The one that's on it right now, the black one, the one with the thing that spins.
Speaker 3 01:18:39
Oh, yeah, don't use that. I mean, it should be, you can, yellow one might be. So yellow one's the worst, right? then green is less white is less black is less so all right hey uh corey said he wants the rocky point uh memory to be done today so i have the other guys running that way but i gotta run to.
Speaker 7 01:19:07
home depot first to get them something i forgot for the memory like brushes or something or any.
Speaker 3 01:19:14
liners oh okay so well do they you guys need gas right now i'll take that with me go and use it use it all up and then i'll uh i'll take it to fill it and then the other ones he said it was like two-thirds full so that should be good for a little bit yeah.
Speaker 2 01:20:17
Let's go.
Speaker 4 01:21:57
Did you say there's another one that's locked. 
Speaker 3 01:21:60
Uh, no, it was just that one. I'm going to take it, because I need something to cram in.
Speaker 4 01:22:11
So, I'll forget everything.
Speaker 3 01:22:19
You good? Yeah. Anything I can do for you? No, I just need a gas.
Speaker 7 01:22:25
So, run the first one through the corners again. I'm going to hit all the rebar with this, see how it looks. Over here, actually, I heard.
Speaker 2 01:22:36
that some of it fell out.
Speaker 7 01:22:46
That could be an issue. I see that right there.
Speaker 3 01:22:59
I don't know. I don't think so. Probably would. Let's get it all cleaned up and then we can look at it at another point. I don't think so. Because this is all a lot of black stuff here.
Speaker 7 01:23:15
Yeah.
Speaker 3 01:23:16
So, obviously, take it easier there.
Speaker 7 01:23:19
Yeah.
Speaker 3 01:23:21
We gotta go and hand do that stuff there.
Speaker 7 01:23:24
Yeah, and I was using the vacuum cleaner though. It's all loose. Once you get away, it kind of gets a little hard again, so I just gotta hit it real quick.
Speaker 3 01:23:32
I'll bet you you can put something like a pointer underneath too. Yeah.
Speaker 2 01:23:39
Okay.
Speaker 7 01:23:59
anything else no that's it yeah that was just uh yeah that was my question um the where are we going tomorrow am i coming back here or am i going to depends on how far we get here okay because um yeah i still have like a whole bunch of trucks in the back of my truck so i wouldn't be able to take.
Speaker 3 01:24:19
any tools like i'm planning you don't need to take anything necessarily okay um you know i mean my guess is you don't finish today so yeah um so i would say you know let's you know you can use this kind of a perfect pressure washer position to get all this too yeah you know um but okay.
Speaker 7 01:24:57
any else actually yeah just um the sharpie that's on the this stuff right here is that a concern or i don't know if the pressure washer would damage it like the cup like on that side you see like.
Speaker 3 01:25:10
how it's all built up right yeah so try to get it off or don't go at it with the pressure washer, um you know we can yeah i have something i can probably scrape it with you know why maybe what you can start doing is is kind of go at it just a little bit with the um with the wide one you know oh okay okay with the with the tip yeah just on the concrete there and work your way in just a.
Speaker 3 01:25:48
little bit like touch it just so that way yeah see what happens anything's gonna come off yeah you can start far yeah okay. and then uh take good pictures and if they're like i said if it's not i i'd rather everything's.
Speaker 3 01:26:26
perfect and i took an extra day then it wasn't perfect then we had to come back so feel free like work grid like you know yeah yeah like start in one section and then move on i've been doing.
Speaker 7 01:26:42
that thank you thank you.
Speaker 4 01:27:07
Thank you.

[AI_SUMMARY]
A fast-paced day on construction sites involved investigating measurement discrepancies around a pool structure while coordinating urgent tasks at Rocky Point. Key issues included conflicting measurements, logistics for fuel and materials, and detailed cleaning instructions to ensure quality before grout work. Action items were assigned to team members for tasks such as checking measurements, preparing materials, and performing grout sampling.
