Speaker 1 00:00:46
Please.
Speaker 1 00:02:38
Peace.
Speaker 2 00:02:50
Hey Brandon, ayer yo vi eso, yo compro guantes mas grandes, aqui mas o menos, es que es materiales.
Speaker 2 00:03:38
cuando usas guantes o entra agua. but it doesn't heal, because you are using water and it doesn't close. You use water, the materials eat you. It's like I have a moment and I can't close it because I use water and other materials.
Speaker 2 00:04:15
That's why he has an infection, I think.
Speaker 3 00:04:21
It's Chechipiti.
Speaker 2 00:04:24
Do you know Chechipiti? No, more or less.
Speaker 3 00:05:08
So, thinking, when it's very thick, yes, it's me, so these are, but as this is to float. 
Speaker 2 00:05:60
I mean, it's not very good. It has to be like the black ones, but because it's thin, you can't work with it, because if it's too thick you can't work with it, it makes it harder to work with it.
Speaker 2 00:06:30
What is grueso? Grueso is like rough? Or it's thin, like... Grueso is...
Speaker 4 00:06:40
Grueso is like thicker.
Speaker 2 00:06:48
Thicker, yeah, okay. And what's the other one? Delgado. Delgado. 
Speaker 4 00:06:53
Yeah, like thinner or skinny. Thinner.
Speaker 5 00:06:58
Delgado.
Speaker 4 00:07:54
Um, are you going to start cementing? Should I put, uh, membrane seal on that side too. 
Speaker 6 00:07:60
Well, yeah.
Speaker 4 00:08:03
Yeah, so we don't have to worry about it.
Speaker 2 00:08:23
Yeah, just, uh, arriba. Arriba. 
Speaker 4 00:08:32
I mean, actually, the piece of, uh, I could put it right up to it, so that way we don't get anything on the, on the stone.
Speaker 4 00:09:13
Just like right there to where the stone is cement, you know, so you know what we can do. Like to fill in that whole space underneath, yeah.
Speaker 6 00:10:08
When you have more foam, you can put the foam on the bottom and cut it.
Speaker 2 00:10:47
You want me to cut it with a ruler. 
Speaker 6 00:10:56
It's flatter, right? Yes. In the corner. Alright, but I want to see 100, 300, and then put M1, M1.
Speaker 6 00:12:07
so the idea is how do we separate um so what we did is we created yeah like that's the gap, well what we did is we all this mortar here on the bottom is now part of this so if you think about everything that move everything moves separately right so this guy is going to move separately than this guy right and so what we did is we said okay we're gonna we put a piece.
Speaker 6 00:12:42
of foam here and we ran it around right and then we poured in this so now all of this is separate from right all of this right okay so so now we're going to go and you know because it's around water we still want to kind of fill it but i don't want to put, the whole, I don't want to fill the whole thing because now you've got this much fill, right? Right. And I don't want any of the membrane C, or I don't mind the membrane C if it stretches,
Speaker 6 00:13:27
but any of the thinsets touching any of this. So we can put foam in here. Okay. That'll kind of be like a backer rod, if you will, right? So we don't have to put the whole thing in there. And then we can M1 it and the M1 will stick to the membrane C. The membrane C will stick to the M1 if there's.
Speaker 4 00:13:52
sand in there. Okay. And now what you're going to do with that is kind of clear it out a little bit. 
Speaker 6 00:13:60
Put a space for that? Yeah. And then now you've got... kind of a proper movement going on there all right so then like right there too that's that.
Speaker 4 00:14:17
it's also going to be filled with uh some of the foam in m1 right here on the side that goes down.
Speaker 2 00:14:57
i don't know.
Speaker 1 00:15:58
I'm glad I convinced you to come today.
Speaker 4 00:16:21
Oh yeah.
Speaker 6 00:16:23
So Brandon got home and he said he woke up worse, but he's got all these like rash irritations on his hands and whatnot. I think it's just, he wants to work with his hands. I don't think we can, especially him, but in general, I think we need to make a policy that says, no, you're using gloves.
Speaker 4 00:16:44
I have the habit of doing that too. Because like whenever I would wear the latex gloves, I'll get like, my hands would start to itch right there. But yeah, no.
Speaker 6 00:16:56
And that's probably that powder, but we'll get, we'll use those, those nitrile ones. Are you talking about those? Are you talking about nitrile ones. 
Speaker 4 00:17:03
No, no, just like, hold on, just like from before, we would get these long ones that cover up your whole arm. And yeah, those ones will irritate you, but no, those black ones are fine.
Speaker 6 00:17:13
Okay. Yeah, so I'm going to look for some longer black ones. Put your hands in the water and then not seep in. You're good, you're good. So I don't want that from anybody else.

[AI_SUMMARY]
A multi-speaker discussion focused on construction practices including cementing, membranes, foam backer use, and glove policies to prevent hand irritation. Key topics included clarifying material thickness terminology, cementing approaches, movement separation strategies, and health concerns related to glove use. Risks identified include the lack of a formal glove policy and unclear measurement sequences. Action items involve sourcing longer black nitrile gloves, proper membrane placement, and ensuring precise cutting methods to maintain safety and effectiveness in construction tasks.
