title: 01-07 Construction Meeting: Rebar Repair, Project Scheduling, and Logistics

[TRANSCRIPTION]
Speaker 1 00:00:10
So, I think we need to identify the worst places, which I think is probably where we cut it, right? Because that rebar doesn't have the coating. Right, and so it's worse there. And if they were to go with the different rebars, like, what are the kind of rebars? I mean, you can get the epoxy-coated rebar and stuff like that. But, yeah, you just end up with not necessary applications.
Speaker 1 00:00:43
Right. So, I mean, these guys need to be—so I brought a metal blade, right? Now, I mean, those blades, you touch concrete with it. You know, it's a fly apart, yeah. Right? But we just, so we just, and he said he had his Dremel. I almost think that the Dremel's fine, and I'll replace all the, like even the things that he bought. I told him before, I was like, I'll buy those, dude. Like, you don't need to be coming out of pocket with it. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 00:01:16
They tell you that Corey gave me the crap that, in the spa, these weren't cleaned up. Not this one, but on the spa. I hit them. I'm not, I know, but I hit them with the punch walker. And what came off, if it didn't come off. So, yeah, it's just, I think what we should do next time is the day after when we come to pressure wash.
Speaker 1 00:01:52
I don't even worry about this stuff. Right. Well, we want to get the concrete off of everything the day after, right. But we're not going to worry about the rust until the day before because it's going to rust. That's what we need, but we can deal with that later. So, I think, you know, let's pump this stuff out.
Speaker 1 00:02:23
and we can rapid set these. We can cut that. Do you want to stay in here? No, you think we can cut this more, do you think? No, I don't think we need to. Okay, I didn't think so. No, I might have to cut. I just, sorry, I'm going to cover it, cover it, and then cut these down, right. And, like I said, like this guy's got to come out, right. So, we should chip in there more.
Speaker 1 00:02:54
take that out so this i would just i would just clean it and cover it right we're not going to take this three inches back we're not going to cut the structural right no and then and if there's and if there's rebar here then if we're going to say that this is okay then we're going to say this i think end up it's supposed to be usually they're supposed to be like.
Speaker 1 00:03:40
six inches we'll probably end up putting another inch yeah we'll have to, straighten up these walls and then it'll get plastered i mean i mean look at this wall, oh okay here we go we got this backside here so this guy just this is the electrical for the motor.
Speaker 1 00:04:15
right and there's a drain in here so initially i thought oh all this is underwater but that's going to be a drain so all the water is going to drain out so this is never going to fill up so we don't need to worry about doing anything to it yeah they're going to end up running wire through it and cutting it off okay so we don't need to do anything to it it's a it's going to be above water so we're not concerned with that okay okay will you remember that.
Speaker 1 00:05:20
so i think what i would do especially since you're by yourself i'm gonna go you don't want to go and, fix them all right meaning you don't want to go and pick up the rust on all of them. right and so what i would do is i'd do it in sections maybe you say okay i'm going to do the vault first right and then i'm going to come out of the vault you know we definitely want to.
Speaker 1 00:05:54
hit these wire ties yeah i noticed another one in the corner down here right do you see why i wanted to you when i said hey you're here doing the shotcrete pull all that crap out you know i wasn't here for no and that's why you want that so it's good to be.
Speaker 2 00:06:13
here to pull that out it's usually twisted and tied to some wire i mean to the rebar isn't it, it's wire right it's twisted around rebar somewhere and it's i'm sure this i couldn't come in here and yank that out yeah it's probably tied to something of course but.
Speaker 1 00:06:36
you know but honestly if you were here and they said oh we're done here and they started going, right i just you know you know i mean i know you guys came in afterwards but so.
Speaker 1 00:07:19
you know all these are pretty self-explanatory right but here's the thing i would don't spend your time today on it's that rust i don't care right well all we're trying to do is reserve. right um so i would say let's just let's just get ourselves you know super close an inch and a half.
Speaker 1 00:07:59
yeah it's not even two inches is it um even if they put plastic so this wasn't we used a different company it's hard to find a good shotcrete company well no oh that rebar his gym has got other.
Speaker 1 00:08:39
is this one in question i don't think that it's an inch and a half so um pretty close that would be probably maybe a little more yeah this is two inches still under there. so two inches i mean it's two and something all right but that's seven and a half roughly there.
Speaker 1 00:09:10
seven and a quarter there so then we'll probably make it possible to get the epoxy.
Speaker 1 00:09:43
because here's the thing the second I like what I try to do is when I make rules with you guys so of course you're not going to come right because if we're in Thailand which one do you want um. Cory almost never has me take out rebar um so I think what we'll do here that would be considered.
Speaker 1 00:10:24
structural right there right right yeah what we'll do here just put 254 around it, so write that one down on this one, just put 254 and we're going to call this i'm going to call this pipe two okay p two.
Speaker 3 00:11:03
okay we should also not for today but i won't give you okay that would be the same with this.
Speaker 2 00:11:28
one here 254 only clean it and 254 no because this one we've got our two inches we got just.
Speaker 1 00:11:34
over two inches here so we can kind of come over it okay okay with rapid set um. Had a hole, not really a hole, but a gap that could open up behind that. They usually do. If you think it will, then let's chip it, and then we'll just do it before that.
Speaker 1 00:12:11
Alex? I think he'll need more 254 here than Manny will. Because Manny just has to set those two pieces of coping.
Speaker 4 00:12:22
Okay, so should I. 
Speaker 1 00:12:26
I would leave most of it here.
Speaker 4 00:12:29
Okay, so I'll fill up some, maybe like four.
Speaker 1 00:12:42
okay and then my thoughts are that pallet that's underneath this truck we'll bring that we'll leave whatever materials we have on on here well now i'm talking to you right but yeah if we can put the materials and put a pallet materials and then i brought some plastic we can wrap around it and leave it here or would that be in the way of anything i don't.
Speaker 1 00:13:13
problem with that yeah i just wanted it on the high point push yeah i don't run with that all right. yeah so i mean i think you know the ones that are on the surface here.
Speaker 1 00:13:48
if you cover it 254 i think we're good we don't need wrapping okay and then the mortar bed 2000, yeah so yeah let's just do so we only need the rapid set for the ones that touch with the holes that are farther back you can clean it something like this i would uh above the water.
Speaker 1 00:14:42
This is a track, just so you know. For the cover, full cover? Yeah, so this is the track that it's gonna, the roller's gonna roll on. So we'll end up loading this to an elevation, waterproofing it, and then they'll put the track on it. So, yeah, here, just coming 254 of these, clean at 254, no rapid set, just the 254,
Speaker 1 00:15:12
and then more to make the thousand, we'll go over that. Right. Okay. So, do you understand where I'm saying to do rapid set. 
Speaker 4 00:15:19
Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:15:20
Can you tell me. 
Speaker 4 00:15:21
Yeah, so, yeah.
Speaker 5 00:15:23
Eight sizes of covers, and we're gonna cut these down. 
Speaker 2 00:15:37
and you said rapid set here, down there, cut those, and...
Speaker 1 00:15:41
so we're going to rapid set those because we're filling it right so might as well give it as much. extra as possible right our coverage right you're gonna put so why put 254 come back and more 254 and right so i'd say well 254 rabbits at those we don't have to worry about them yeah that one over there 24 rabbits at that we don't worry about it again these guys 254 i i want to do 254.
Speaker 1 00:16:16
because they're recessed back deep enough where i mean the 254 is like super strong and, strength is is by psi right and the higher the psi the less amount of years so like this would be four thousand gsi before it's like two thousand seven thousand right and so it's murder for them, and we're only 254 because if we were to rapid set it would be not necessary if we're gonna put.
Speaker 1 00:16:46
more then we're gonna start yeah then we'll start taking away from my wife hey is this busy or or is this important or do you mind if i do that or quick okay um do you have a timeline yeah i mean i can be down there 30 something like that earlier i can do that.
Speaker 1 00:17:42
Yeah, it's gonna go in the Baja, we changed it, it's gonna go in the Baja, so, yeah, yeah, just tell me what time, and I'll be there, um, just keep in mind that the later it is, the longer, more traffic comes back, so, I mean, I don't want to, I don't want to dictate all of that, I'd rather that everybody have whatever experience they need to have, but, so, yep, sounds good, all right, no problem, sorry, friend, um, okay.
Speaker 1 00:18:49
here we're looking good just in case i have to reference so i see any holes in those i think.
Speaker 3 00:19:31
we're good on all of these you know did we ever did we chip these ones yeah we did not yet.
Speaker 1 00:19:49
if it was chipped it wouldn't have that oh you know what it is they just they got some spray that's over spray so we should chip the overspray on i i think so yeah maybe just again we're here.
Speaker 1 00:20:23
for i'd say chip that guy a little bit i think they carved this and you guys chipped in here. and just i think the calcification is making it yeah because there would be there would be.
Speaker 1 00:20:54
concrete here if it was overspray so i think you're okay so if you you put 254 here i think these guys should be chipped anyways right here okay so but i think i'd probably chip this chip this and then just 254 that uh brandon real quick you got gloves and tape okay um cool.
Speaker 1 00:21:30
did he have trash bags or was that a good call of mine uh well i had brought some but i mean we're gonna need them out of the way i wasn't sure i figured there'd just be a few and i didn't want to know the situation yeah well i mean i had brought a good amount, could you leave that push broom do you have it with you yeah yeah okay yeah yeah one one other.
Speaker 1 00:22:01
time but i was telling him like your those wire wheels and stuff like that that you bought you know like you know if you want to try something or whatever let me know i'll no no need to come.
Speaker 4 00:22:13
out of your pocket okay okay yeah uh so that's the brush thank you the m1 is right here as well as a then you're gonna need my vacuum right yeah for sure.
Speaker 1 00:22:45
i won't be needing anyone today i wasn't sure and i what we were going to find and so i wanted it so i asked him for it so so yeah let's focus on the rough cleaning first and right i was working the pool area first before i jumped in here yeah yeah i want the vault first if you want to skip the.
Speaker 1 00:23:16
pool that's fine right and come straight to here but there's just there's a lot here um yeah alex before you go you mind setting that pump up in here yeah like an inch of water or so i don't. i don't want to sit down that's my i always think it's like oh that's not much and then i step into.
Speaker 1 00:23:51
it and i'm like oh um oh yeah oh yeah all right um yeah we gotta get i need to go get the hose out of my truck too we gotta get into that crevice over there open that up see what but, you see my point right we're really just trying to protect them right so go in sections because.
Speaker 1 00:24:21
i don't want to clean something that you're not going to get to today okay just waste it, break the work right right so even when you get here it's going to be tempting to go you know what i'm just going to get them all while i've got my chipping hammer out and then you go oh shoot. Um, you know, I might even say, I do, since we're so close to, I mean, there's so much.
Speaker 1 00:25:05
moisture in the air, um, because of the ocean, you know, so you leave the bottom part to last, you know, down here, it won't like take on all of the, um, and if you're not sure.
Speaker 1 00:25:40
about something. Yeah, take a picture, send it to me. I don't know what to do. I want to set up a way where the guys, like, you going to me and saying, you coming to me and going, what's with the ballots? It should be impossible.
Speaker 1 00:26:11
And I want you, oh, we never finished my Lopez story. I want you to run these guys like they work for us. Because in a way, they do. So that being said, so Lopez, you and him would get along. But, you know, I do my thing. I come in. I do my work really well.
Speaker 1 00:26:43
I don't like asking. I don't want to deal with the drama. I don't want to ask people. I don't want their BS. I just want to do my work and do it. So one day I come there and I'm like, hey man, we have this big old, imagine, imagine a duck this size. It's full of sludge. And he's shoveling. And I'm like, what are you doing? And he's like, I don't want to, this is gross. I said, yeah, but, you know, when you guys have a club, don't I get in and help you?
Speaker 1 00:27:19
Yeah. Do I? Do you see me? You know, a lot of times, what do I do? I come and say, when you guys have this cleaned up, let me know. Right? And he goes, yeah. Am I better than you? Do you think I think I'm better than you? And I go, no. I know you don't. the reason why i tell you guys do this and let me know is because there's stuff that only i can do.
Speaker 1 00:27:49
and there's stuff that only you can do so if you're doing the thing that everybody can do. i'm getting behind on the stuff that only you can do and that just puts more weight on your shoulders, so it's not a matter of like oh you're less than me it's how do we keep this engine right you know. you you're a go-getter oh i'm just gonna get the this yeah but how do we get the installer and.
Speaker 1 00:28:28
keep that on right and i want you to release yourself of the guilt of saying hey can you go do this right, I'm asking him to grab this stuff so that way I can have a feel. If you go grab it, I can't have this conversation, right? And it's not just so he's not walking into a conversation. It's not because he's not important. He's just as important as the rest of us, you know.
Speaker 1 00:29:02
We have the end for that, though. I guess we don't need it. I meant that.
Speaker 4 00:29:06
Oh, well, I have one inside the box anyways with the clamp just in case.
Speaker 1 00:29:10
But if you don't need it, that's a great use for it.
Speaker 4 00:29:12
Right, right.
Speaker 6 00:29:13
The hose is dedicated for that. Instead of mixing up the hoses and some of the good hoses that were used for water. 
Speaker 7 00:29:21
that was used for drainage, and then especially if we hook it up to the pressure washer.
Speaker 2 00:29:26
and all that sludge that's trapped in the pressure washer. So that hose is good.
Speaker 1 00:29:34
Okay. Is there anything wrong with this? Because we do have hoses with leaks in it and stuff like that. We can use that as a pump hose.
Speaker 2 00:29:40
This is good.
Speaker 1 00:29:41
Well, that's my point as far as if it's a it had holes in it But it doesn't be sure it's that one. Is that the one somebody cut the end off of it for a reason? I know we're throwing it out. Maybe well, no, I think that seeing that this is where you're assuming, I'm pretty sure that when well took the end off a bit because we were working on, Something else. Oh and we realized we didn't have a replacement. No, so I think.
Speaker 1 00:30:13
So anyway, don't be I want you I need to start working on you as an install me. And so I want you know, I want you to start so I'm gonna start pushing you more on this kind of stuff. And I want you to, you know, feel free to take,
Speaker 1 00:30:45
I need you to do it back first and go, what's going to keep me from, right? What's going to keep me, should I need that pumped out? He's up in there. Oh, Alex, can you work on this, right? What's the next thing I'm going to need is, I'm going to need, you know, let's just assume he's sitting here all day, right? First things first, we're going to have a new discussion this thing. Once you're done cleaning the rebar, you set me up for pressure washing, pressure washing.
Speaker 1 00:31:20
I want you to mix and keep it poor for me. So that way you can kind of, oh, I'm done here. Now the pressure washer is ready for me. Done with the pressure washer, give it the source ready for me, right? Oh, hey, on this one, I'm seeing a couple of. I'm going to run up our next plan or whatever. And so when you talk through the plan with him, it helps you think through it, right?
Speaker 1 00:31:51
And it helps him get on board with you. So, make sense? Yes. I need to check with the guys down below. A couple things.
Speaker 2 00:32:08
I think it says Rudy down there so far. I saw Filon's truck.
Speaker 1 00:32:12
Okay. Cool, cool. Yeah, because I want to see. They might be able to give me a line. Cool, cool.
Speaker 2 00:32:30
I saw you at McDonald's this morning.
Speaker 1 00:32:39
I wasn't at McDonald's.
Speaker 5 00:32:46
I'm not kidding you. There was a truck exactly like yours. There was a guy in there on his phone texting. I just swore it was you.
Speaker 1 00:32:55
No, I went to Home Depot this morning, then I went to Rocky Point, and then came here.
Speaker 5 00:32:60
I just, I seen the truck in the very back, just like yours, and then as I was driving out, there was some other thing that was by the window texting.
Speaker 1 00:33:09
I don't think I've had, you know, outside of being with my kids, I don't think I've had McDonald's in 10 years. That's not true. I think I stopped there for the rest of the month. Okay, I'm going to go grab him. He's good. I think he can, oh, you're just trying to separate it right now.
Speaker 4 00:33:32
Yeah, I mean, yeah, I'm not trying to, well, I mean, if it's just for, how many stones. 
Speaker 1 00:33:39
Two pieces of stone. They're two by 24. or a two by two by 18 something like that so uh 24 to do like the pipe yeah so i mean all of this rebar is going to get you know he's going to be putting it i mean he doesn't honestly i think you've got plenty for both right so just try to split the two evenly yeah that's fine i'm a good.
Speaker 1 00:34:12
trick and then get over to him as quickly as possible if you don't mind and then just text him with your eta um the one thing i told manuel today and tell you the same the way i like to run things and i would i would expect brandon and manuel to do the same thing is i don't worry about stuff because you know they say oh.
Speaker 1 00:34:43
You know, how are you guys doing? My guys are doing fine. Because if my guys weren't doing fine, they would have called me, right? And so that way, if they don't call me, there's a big problem here today, you know? So Brandon should never be asking me to know Alex, right? Because Alex already communicated that he was running behind, right?
Speaker 1 00:35:13
And so that's the best way. And then he can take confidence in you going, no, I don't worry about Alex because he always tells me when there's a problem. Make sense? Yeah, yeah, I get you.
Speaker 1 00:36:31
Hey, you don't by any chance know where the elevation point is there, do you. 
Speaker 6 00:36:41
I think down the elevation as far as I know, from what I remember, I think they were going for the tracks on the sliders from the entrance of the house. I think that's what their their final finish was. I think that's where from there all the way to the pool that's supposedly zero.
Speaker 1 00:37:06
Okay I'm just because I'm trying to figure out the elevation of it and yeah before he's like I think it got lost as far as like where we need to be. Where our mark was. Oh where your mark was. Yeah yeah. Yeah well as long as I've got a mark somewhere that I can say oh we're talking on different things.
Speaker 6 00:37:42
i have no idea how many days all i know is he said that he was here for new year's or something like that but he didn't say how many days he was here. everybody was saying it's gonna be this but this is on zero on it so it's.
Speaker 6 00:38:23
so but here no that's the thing i'm not even sure because i think see how this track, is higher so i think i'm not sure if this is the this is the final. We can ask Rick. He would for sure know, but I think, because everything else is going to be built up, I believe, to that. But they're going to have a slope after that, aren't they?
Speaker 6 00:38:53
I'm not sure, but what I remember, I think when we were... These might be a little off, this one and that one. So the floors might be a little bit higher or lower. But see how they're already building up their track? But I'm not sure. My guess is that it's supposed to die to where that metal in the inside is. Because if that's higher, you're going to be kicking it, right? But, yeah, just a double check.
Speaker 6 00:39:25
Those drains, this lip for sure, it has to be under because this is all drain for the slider. This is a little drain where we put all the water. so for sure that's definitely below but my guess is that little when you open the door that those are the what they're trying to end at okay you can ask rick too because he for sure he was i think the one that was talking to punch about it too and i think that's where you eventually that was our.
Speaker 6 00:39:57
set in stone zero thank you it's his fault it's his fault um.
Speaker 1 00:40:11
um it was like how do i word this in a way that says uh i was asking him if he our next thing is to hit the tracks and it's like hey you know um and i haven't talked about it like you're leaving.
Speaker 8 00:40:28
like rural tracks yeah.
Speaker 1 00:40:31
so um i was asking him what elevation points he knew of before i call anybody and he's like.
Speaker 8 00:40:38
pick that slab add one inch that's finished floor and that's how we finish down, pick this slab right here interior slab right there one inch above that one inch above that is finished and that's what uh puncher will work too and this so this technically should be an inch.
Speaker 6 00:41:01
from here right this thing comes out well that's going to come out it's a guard oh gotcha so.
Speaker 8 00:41:06
the actually this point right here should be one inch above that that's a cigar and this is going to be stoned to about right there it's a little less than an inch but well the floor is only.
Speaker 6 00:41:21
three quarters so okay so they're trying to yeah so an inch inch above here yeah.
Speaker 8 00:41:29
shooting for this i think probably right yeah and the reason that um the reason that that's such a build up there is that this is all kind of pretty close to level but the floor the deck here it's gonna get a pedestal okay so we could do anything that we want as far as how we pitch the water so there's a ridge right here that goes down pretty much down right about center yeah about right here and then there's a valley that heads that way okay and so at this as this valley falls so does this.
Speaker 8 00:42:01
slab and that's why the build-up is so great there but eventually yeah because that was my it's like.
Speaker 1 00:42:07
well what are they gonna do with the water yeah so so if you're doing pedestals that makes perfect.
Speaker 8 00:42:12
sense yeah and so then along there's no drains in here but along there there's five or six dreams but the last dream is about. About where that red tape, you can see the red tape going horizontal right there, maybe 16, 17 feet back. Because we're over the garage door, and we couldn't get any drain, those all go down into walls, go into this system that's buried. So there, there's a little, there's a pitch that way, and there's a pitch towards the stairs. And that'll be our overflow on this side.
Speaker 8 00:42:45
Overflow on this side will be the edge of the deck.
Speaker 1 00:42:50
So it's top of coping, circle of that. 
Speaker 8 00:42:53
Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:42:58
Cool. That good? That makes it easy. Okay. Simple. It's not like, oh, well, if you look at the sun at 12 o'clock. Thanks, Rick. All right, okay. So he's on reserve. Okay, so I yanked this guy, you know, making sure Brandon hasn't.
Speaker 1 00:43:33
fallen and died in here. He doesn't need an ambulance. Keep an eye on him. So I'll probably.
Speaker 6 00:43:41
be here to make sure everybody's good. Yeah, I mean, no wonder that other little piece was too high. It's just a scar to get there. Um, actually, well, I got you. You know, this finisher and this, line, these are our, we got those, uh, those lines that we ended up putting a clear coat on.
Speaker 6 00:44:18
That one's smaller because that little hornet. Yeah, another pull. So at each corner, yeah, and those are those are our final things and then that's center right there No, there is no center this this one. You know, what? What is this? I forgot what this one is I think there might be center. It might be I don't remember. I think we used it to square off yet I think I think it's okay. I can yeah, I can go you can double-check it.
Speaker 6 00:44:48
Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:45:19
And that little divot there.
Speaker 6 00:45:22
that's just for their hose right no that one that one was uh because they had a re-wash when they were pulling their piano wires okay i think uh before or after chills with it out and got it out so that just gets okay covered up all right i think they did from that side yeah there's one there too yeah they had one on that one too i think all right cool cool i can't remember if.
Speaker 1 00:45:52
there's any other tie wires so my focus today is not so much the tie wires but uh we're just like rust prevention if you will so i'm going to have them cover clean and cover all the.
Speaker 6 00:46:08
rust and rebar and then if he's got time yeah because i think the only other, as far as type details i mean i don't know these are i think you guys got to these or, Yeah, there's something like that, but this is the only one that that needs it right here. Yeah, I saw that. Yeah. Whatever skimmers if you can you back those up more.
Speaker 1 00:46:30
So did you notice like, you know, we had to knock those guys out every every one of them underneath, Like especially the big pipes that sections there, right. 
Speaker 6 00:46:44
Underneath when they're doing this they don't do it. You gotta you know, like the sagging like you'll still drop down.
Speaker 1 00:46:53
Block so they're doing this. Oh gotcha and it creates a hole. Yeah, right. So that's how that's how. Right and so each one of those ends up having like this, Yeah, I mean look at here right so I'll have to open all of that up and tip it right all this, right and there's a big hole here you know and so now what we're doing with each one of these is.
Speaker 1 00:47:24
even though they they like an alpine even though they coved it all out sometimes there's a little, still there and so you know i'm kind of telling you guys this because you guys are the ones that are like i'd like for you to you know let us be part of that too yeah because we end up having to fix all the problems that's where you guys are aware of that's kind of the thing it's like who's nothing against you guys right but if you gotta if you're the guy that has to fix it you're gonna pay more attention to it right you'll notice it more um and you can adapt your process every.
Speaker 1 00:48:00
single time because you're like oh shoot i should have whatever yeah right so anyway all right.
Speaker 5 00:48:09
i think the rebar will see i know i know our phone went right on the money but i think. He goes, I moved it a little bit, so it might be off to one side.
Speaker 1 00:48:23
All right. But, yeah, once we get there, I'll worry about it. Cool. And there won't be two more kids. So these are the big... Now that we've got...
Speaker 3 00:48:34
All right.
Speaker 3 00:49:58
Hey, I'm sorry, can I click, can I click right now. 
Speaker 1 00:50:10
Hey, is that tipping hammer in the background bothering you? Well, you know, often, like, if my wife calls me, you know, and she hears something, she's like, oh, ah, ah, what, what, I can't do this, I can't do this, call me later, you know? So it's like, sometimes I've been there and I've heard it, like, oh man, that does sound really loud, even though it's me, so I try to ask.
Speaker 1 00:50:56
that's that's always dangerous um well cory said that one of the next things we're going to do is float the track and he said we've got to mark somewhere. talk to rick and he's like hey we're an inch above the floor kind of based on what you your your joke just now but i'm gonna call a bunch.
Speaker 1 00:51:41
yeah yeah it says three feet top of coping. so cool that works for me so yeah yeah he says they're doing pedestals so they intentionally.
Speaker 1 00:52:27
pitched it so so all the water would go out that way and then there's they've got to if you're coming out the out of the house there's a drain to the right of that you know at that wall but everything else pitches pitches towards towards the left um so um yeah i mean cory's i can just always tell when he's on a kick you know he's on a rustic so he's definitely, guys over here to cover up all the rust.
Speaker 1 00:53:02
if anybody understands i think you do yeah it's uh one of those things what i hate is it's like i don't mind i like it it's like i hate mobilizing right and uh and i hate coming over like oh we got rid of the rust all here here because yes um i didn't think about why i just did what i was told.
Speaker 1 00:53:35
and now i'm going to come back and i'm going to fix the rust again you know because nothing was done to clean it so um.
Speaker 2 00:53:53
we're gonna check those out.
Speaker 1 00:54:02
you know okay anyway um so you're back at it you got six feet.
Speaker 1 00:54:35
yeah you're kind of mentally there.
Speaker 1 00:55:14
No, I've been doing the same thing. It's like, I feel like we're on a... Oh, you didn't show up today, huh? Oh, I gotta go over to here, huh? You know, you're right.
Speaker 3 00:56:29
Right? Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:57:14
Yeah, no, he showed me the corner lines that you guys have. That's what you're talking about, right?
Speaker 1 00:58:07
i'm not gonna lie i got it i got a text from cory while you were telling me that last little bit i just realized like oh no i don't know what he just said uh sorry say this say that again.
Speaker 3 00:58:17
it looks like you got another story pole it might not be yours but another story pole.
Speaker 1 00:58:39
at the corner of the property um two by four um it's for the it's on the it's on the neighbor's wall you know like a timber block wall or whatever and it's got like actual elevation and 7.3 feet.
Speaker 1 00:59:18
okay well that's something that i told but then just so you're in on my talk podcast, um i was like we need ones like what we did in stradella we went 10 feet from coping into the pool and then 20 feet 20 feet if it has time but basically so that way you can put the new one yeah.
Speaker 1 00:59:59
well i mean with us we just keep on we can just set something up you know and even if you and i can keep it and we don't need to do this or something like even this like you know, Even you tell me, oh, that one's three feet up, you know, it's like, oh, Hans and I understand each other on, you know, how to get, you know, we measure the same, is what I'm saying, and, you know, I, right, so, cool, man.
Speaker 1 01:00:50
Anything else you need. 
Speaker 2 01:01:04
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 01:01:24
And that's, and that's what I couldn't get Corey to like back, you know, I'm just going to say this, right? He's, I think he's 28, right? As smart as I thought I was at 28, you know? So like, he's like, Hey, you know, can I get these three extra days off? You know, I don't know. I got to talk to Corey. What do you think he's going to say? I think he'll say yes. Honestly, like, don't look at it. I don't know. Okay. So, you know, but this is like, if you want something like that, knowing,
Speaker 1 01:01:60
you know, the history, that's a face-to-face conversation for me, right? That's not a, so, you know, and he keeps on asking me and I'm like, dude, I don't know. I haven't, you know, I can text him right now and he'll say no. He's like, no. Right? Like, so. I finally asked for it. Now, you know, it's a slippery slope, right? Then I've got to let everybody do it. And then that week just becomes nothing because this guy's on vacation, that guy's on vacation. It's like, no, I get your point.
Speaker 3 01:02:26
Um, yeah, right.
Speaker 3 01:02:59
No, and that's, if you're in Southern California and you do blue collar work.
Speaker 1 01:03:15
you've got a heavy hispanic and you know if they're hispanic then maybe a little less not family but all it is not almost right i've always had one or two that want to take a couple weeks to go down go go you know back home always even like when i told my dad about the situation, like he's like what's the deal with my mom and i was like well you want to take time off and he's.
Speaker 1 01:03:45
like oh to go back to his country like oh yeah he knows it too right and it's like it's just the thing but here's the thing like every time that's ever coming and say hey i want to take a long period of time off to go back to go back home for a couple weeks or whatever they never, they never don't show up to work you know and it's like you know what are you doing it's a one-time hit per year you know right.
Speaker 1 01:05:19
I've always worked with you know and so this is what I know and this is you know I think still I might have told you this already one of the best things I ever learned it was me and knowing that my dad was never happy with the job I did you know but it took me a lot to figure that out right.
Speaker 1 01:06:43
Oh, did that really happen to you? You get yourself... I thought you were telling my story. Oh, okay. Okay. I'm like, dude, that happened to me?
Speaker 1 01:07:32
And I think he's coming along, Corey, you know, where he's starting to understand, you know, even he was telling me, yeah, I almost called you guys last night, you know, saw the rain, like, oh, you know what? I didn't say that. Right.
Speaker 3 01:08:49
Right.
Speaker 1 01:08:56
Yeah, I mean, I was disciplined. I had all these plans, the rain, but then I get an email, you know, getting a piece of tape, you know, lastly talking to this thing, you know, and it sounds like you guys had a wonderful time off.
Speaker 1 01:09:32
maybe it wasn't so bad you know if they if the kids are saying they had a great time then maybe i did all right you know that's one thing i try not to try not to say no, you guys want hey dad you can play soccer tennis with us it's basically.
Speaker 3 01:09:51
tennis um yeah sure you know yeah can you ever pick the 3d plan yeah so uno's.
Speaker 1 01:10:24
una's a staple in my family but but not uno i'm serious but not uno it's that nobody knows, get all ages in there for that basically basically you can get out of turn if you play the same exact card so basically you imagine that somebody throws a drop four and somebody else says well i have a drop one too now that person is now the new person right and then and then the guy to the right of.
Speaker 1 01:10:54
the original guy that threw the drop four you know throws another drop four now he's got drop 12 and he's like oh what did i do to myself right like i thought i was laying it down you know so i'm just saying when you want to take it up another level and you have everybody like pissed and everybody else like all three generations they're going oh story out there so my family's always been extremely welcoming right that i've told you my my first language is spam.
Speaker 1 01:11:30
They invited one of the employees over, they're all sitting there. And my family, four draw fours wasn't enough, so they did two decks. So now you've got the potential for like eight draw fours. You've got 10 people playing the speed run. You've got Alex comes to play from work, or comes to hang out with his family for the day, it's like Memorial Day, or some holiday. And they're playing, somebody drew up another draw four,
Speaker 1 01:12:00
another draw four, another draw four, another draw four. And Alex plays, he's like, oh, I got one too. So it ends up doing like seven draw fours on my grandma. And they say she just looks at the pile, she looks at Alex, she looks at the pile. And my grandma's the nicest little, you ever talk to my grandma? She will start telling you about Jesus, when she loves you. She's the sweetest little lady, right?
Speaker 1 01:12:31
She wants to save everybody.
Speaker 2 01:12:32
When you see her, she's just, you know, she's just, and she yells out, yes, I'll be at all. 
Speaker 1 01:12:44
And this poor guy is just sitting there like, oh my gosh, I'm gonna kill myself. Anyway, so. Alright, that's my story. What I'm telling you is that if you found any jewelry you don't know, I will drop whatever I want.
Speaker 1 01:13:17
So, alright man. Well, um, I appreciate you man. you got it next phone call non-stop well that's like when poncho wants to talk you let poncho talk he didn't get the best period huh that's all he ever does talk then i like poncho i do too.
Speaker 2 01:13:58
i think it does great work too um on this side over here the rebar that was there i need to tip.
Speaker 1 01:14:08
it away and cut it down lower the two that are on the bottom there uh so what are we aiming for three inches i mean well is this going to get plastered as well two inches three inches, Yeah, so I think if we can get it, you know, minimum two inches back. But you're going to want to chip it in a way, too, where you can put your grinder in there.
Speaker 2 01:14:39
I did that, yeah. I just didn't know if I needed to chip more. I'll check it with my measuring tape and see where I'm at. If I'm under two inches, that's it.
Speaker 1 01:14:49
You're almost out. Yeah, there's another one. Do this one. I don't ever, I don't, when I look at this stuff, I don't look at precision.
Speaker 3 01:15:11
If you're doing precision, it says float.
Speaker 1 01:15:18
If you don't do the float right, then you can't depend on your trowel to get you to depth. Now you have to, oh, what am I, and you've got to use a level and whatnot, but if you can get the flow rate, then you can say, okay, we're going to use this trowel, it's going to give us the depth that we want, and we're going to go across. And then we don't have to worry about it, you know. I've found that that's the best way.
Speaker 1 01:15:50
And then, you know, I think that's where, once we get, that's where we bring people into this system, and they're like, I can't seem to do it. It's because we've essentially, you know, we're telling everybody to figure it out as they go, because we don't do anything, you know. But if we can get the file system right. And honestly, you telling me, if I figure out.
Speaker 1 01:16:32
in the very second and it's that's it down here oh one of the checks is off okay and. now we fixed it now everything should be good so and that's why sometimes i'll stop so all right.
Speaker 1 01:17:06
whenever i see a leak i cringe by the way it has a washer in it too right but that that just means that something's wrong is so back to the same thing right wrong washer we need to change the tip like, What's what's the problem you don't need to drop any everything for this right now.
Speaker 1 01:17:36
But I would say you know at a minimum if we can what I don't want is for them to come here and go look At our deck because you know it drip all over.
Speaker 1 01:18:11
Did you look at all this that's no small actually it's a good enough leak, let's yeah Between my chairs and then shut it off we should always have to me It's let's come to a to a bald out always of some sort, If you need to shut it off, it's easy. Yeah, you can go back out there. Cool. I'm going to run to my truck real quick.
Speaker 2 01:18:49
It's called Poncho. It's a quarry.
Speaker 1 01:19:00
I'm like, like, uh, I got a payroll, and I said, well, Poncho didn't put in his hours, and he said he did that intentionally. I don't know what you want to do. He's like, well, how many days do you work? Exactly. find out without mentioning PTO because he's short. Sounds like we're two days on site dropping off.
Speaker 3 01:19:44
materials. He's like, full days? I don't know. He told me not to mention PTO. Maybe he's earned it. Right.
Speaker 1 01:20:27
Yeah. Well, but even, yeah, I know. It's just, it's like, but hearing my conversation, you know, first I got to bring it up, you know, without telling him that Corey's, I just got to say like, just have a weekend. The harder this is, you know, he's like, yeah, I see it. If I do everything right, then, you know, it's a retire. You know, if I do everything right, I want to retire. I need 20 years. Can I do 20 years? And this is his words. You know, I didn't bring up any of this. Oh, we talked a little bit about it. And he's like, if I do, can I do 20 years with Jesse?
Speaker 1 01:21:11
Getting a week off at the end of the year. I don't think so. Yeah. Well, if somebody's going to have to, that's a punch that. Yeah.
Speaker 3 01:21:27
i agree i agree what's it worth to you you know we've done this.
Speaker 1 01:21:56
and what did we go for them oh you know you told me we built for them is there anything in order there is 731 so spill the pool manually with a hose investigate test out of set up auto fill bucket and float valve so at that point um so.
Speaker 1 01:22:27
The autofill, so there's nothing in there, so we didn't charge for it. And then he also installed a safety cap on the sweep line, which we didn't fill for since there's nothing skimming, right? So you set up autofill bucket and float valve, is it?
Speaker 1 01:22:59
That's a 731.
Speaker 1 01:24:04
looking or do you want to focus uh did we bill did we charge anything for 731. did we charge for replacing a blow valve glad to ask that question we would have been.
Speaker 1 01:24:44
we're just going to say that we billed for it that's fine so the only thing we didn't bill for which he said he didn't put in an order for the uh what's the cap for the sweet one. He's like, well, I had one in. I was like, I know.
Speaker 1 01:25:21
So I've been telling you that Maddie's going to end up going to the A team. Coach, you won it. Okay. That was when Maddie rolls down the window and goes, can I tell something to coach? I'm like, sure. When you pull me up to your A team, I'm going to work hard, and I'm going to make sure I'm captain of that team. It's not giving a hundred on, but it's always been like, I'll take him on,
Speaker 1 01:25:53
but it's not, you know, if he loses it, he loses it. You know, like I have a commitment to you guys, provided you hold up your end, you know, kind of that. And when he turns around, he's like, Maddie, okay, you might not get the same amount of playing time. You're going to do everything I tell you to. I've got to tell you, kids on the A team, they do a lot more than you guys on the B team.
Speaker 1 01:26:26
You have to do a thousand touches on the ball every single day. You've got to write journals for me. You have to do everything I ask, on and off the pitch. If you're willing to do that, you're with me. Coach, I'll do whatever you want. Okay? So he sends us this form. I mean, it's a legit awesome. Actually, I'm going to send it to you. It's like, I showed it to Eric, and Eric's like, I wouldn't do all that. I'm like, yeah, I know, because you don't want to be a, you're not committed.
Speaker 1 01:26:57
You know, and he kind of like gets taken back. I'm like, what do you want me to say, dude? You know, we've just had a conversation. Kind of, yeah. His mom.
Speaker 1 01:27:29
By the way, for the record, I told him that that was my biggest weakness at his age. Yesterday. I was like, you know, as he started asking me, I'm like, dude, I've got to tell you, man.
Speaker 2 01:27:52
Yeah, right? For a 10-year-old. I was never great at offense. I mean, I could pass, I had great touch, I had kicks. Really good. I was so good. I loved it.
Speaker 1 01:28:19
That's what I noticed. That's all I wanted. And then, all of a sudden, I'm sitting out in a tournament for a team that I've been wanting to play on forever. After that, I said, my biggest problem is, you know, and I was thinking, honestly, I'm just finding out today how much I enjoy the approval of others. You know, and I'm 45 now, dude. You know,
Speaker 1 01:28:49
don't be mean, be better than me.
Speaker 3 01:28:58
You know, and you can even just say, like. 
Speaker 1 01:29:15
hey, I was just telling. I was telling her before, it could be that he rolls his, and he might, and I don't mind telling her this, but, you know, that's not left on her part, you know, and I would obviously say it in a much different way, but, I mean, you know, that's what happened with Uncle Ron, that's what happened with Matt, that's what happened with, you know, Judo was talking to her yesterday, you know, telling her that, you know, if there's not somebody, then now, now there's, so, um, we,
Speaker 1 01:30:19
you know anytime we ourselves if he really is in control of the wife that's that's why i responded pretty quickly with me shooting you a quick text and saying can i call you back and you know obviously you can always respond with no it's important and i will drop everything but you're.
Speaker 3 01:31:05
fine. oh yeah oh you know what you do need to talk what why do you why do you feel the need to make that.
Speaker 1 01:32:11
point. I remember that. And I don't remember everything around the conversation, but...
Speaker 1 01:34:13
yeah but but also what happens though is i think twofold one okay so hey so yeah i'm here can you hear me okay um it just it it honestly i'm i'm bothered again it's just like.
Speaker 1 01:35:01
Because this is what happens. Like, I don't get to say what I want. I don't get my feelings, right? Like, I have to, like, I'm not allowed to feel how I feel. I get, you know, I feel what I feel. And now I have to fight you against them because now you feel the need to defend them. And it's like, so, I don't want to be mad at them.
Speaker 1 01:35:39
But what I don't want is when I bring up stuff, right? Like, I don't want you to defend them in all the different ways. Like, if you want to say, like, hey, Brayden, I don't think you see it, right? You see all you. Like, I don't tell you about, like. brian saying like hey thanks for taking care of my kids you know if you ever need anything like that from us just let us know even though i feel like my my kids off for you right i don't tell you about all that stuff right but but i'm i i mean i don't need to piss you off too you know i that's.
Speaker 1 01:36:16
and and that's and that's fine but but why don't i get a say right why you know and but but no i don't because because now instead of me saying like i feel this way right i have to fight back with but the stuff is that you know before you seek to understand me you go to defend them and you know and and it's like you know like i don't care about brian danielle you didn't make me upset.
Speaker 1 01:36:50
you know, About Brian Danielle, right you made me upset about you, you know, you made me upset because, You don't you know again. It's like you don't ask for it, but you don't ask for explanation, you go straight to. Nevermind, this is you know what this is a byproduct what you're about to say is a byproduct of the actual issue.
Speaker 1 01:37:39
No, right you're making everything into the fact that I okay. It's I know, but you're trying to you're you're but you again go it's like well Let me blame it on my social normalities that you know aren't coinciding with the way that you need to be you know.
Speaker 1 01:38:13
And it's just like why do we need to attach a defense? to everything right and. Well when you defend right?
Speaker 1 01:38:56
No, no, Ash. No, no. No, you're not listening to me. I'm not withholding stuff and saying, trust me. What would have been a great, you know, it's like a, I can't get you to like hear me. And this is like, and I'm sure you're seeing the same thing.
Speaker 1 01:39:31
But I, well, but I think we can, but to your point, I think we can have a debate, right? Yeah. Where I can stand on the same exact thing that I've been trying to stand on since the very beginning and that's not sarcasm coming out, right? Although it probably sounds like it.
Speaker 1 01:40:07
Well, if I'm telling you how I feel about somebody, right? Shouldn't you seek to understand why I feel that way instead of start getting my feelings by moving on in opposite proper communication. I didn't ever hear you say, you know, oh, sorry, I'm stuck on you saying extra step.
Speaker 1 01:40:37
You know, I'm having like a, again, it's like, you know, I feel like you're going, oh, well, I love you and I'm willing to do it for you. You know?
Speaker 1 01:41:58
But I can't. And I'm trying to, but I can't. You're going, oh, so you want me to validate you and, you know, maybe I can do that.
Speaker 1 01:43:53
What? But that's not what I'm asking. I'm not asking you to blindly trust something. I'm, what I'm, no, but...
Speaker 1 01:45:20
Or I'm, let me, I think I can put this to bed here and I wish I understood the entire conversation or I remember the entire conversation, right? That way I can feed a little bit more into it. But I think I can, you know, we both can give, you're right, iron sharpens iron.
Speaker 1 01:45:60
I just got Maddie's screen request. I'm like, wait, what? You know, but we can only sharpen each other if, if we hear each other, right? And so, you know, and if we understand each other, and so if I throw out a different viewpoint, think that, where are you coming from? You know, and so, you know, I don't, I don't ever want you to just take it because I say take it, right? Or if I say that thing's red, and you don't see it as red, it's like, well, trust me, it's red, right? Or whatever, right? I'm like, no dummy, and that ain't red, red too, right? And if you look at it from over here, you'll see that it's not red.
Speaker 1 01:46:58
Because I know what red is, you know? And it's like, and I'm just going to take this to the extent, and it's like, oh, that thing's one of those holograms, you know? So you look at it from this angle, and it's blue, you know? Oh, now, I don't really care what bread's, right? I take grace and all. i don't really care you know but happy things to people and it's like you know you so he you know he said something to the effect of your kids all the time to school you know and it's like.
Speaker 1 01:47:32
you know it's like it's like oh i didn't know we were counting like i didn't know that we were making it i didn't know that we were we were a number of days.
Speaker 3 01:51:31
Thanks, I'm still here and welcome to...
Speaker 6 01:53:13
How you doing, man? I was asking Brandon if he had left. I'm like, hey, I hope you didn't forget your backpack.
Speaker 1 01:53:22
So it wasn't him that sent me a text. Brayden, you forgot your backpack. Oh, thanks for taking care of me.
Speaker 6 01:53:33
It wasn't him. It was Rudy. He noticed it, too, though. He had seen it. He's like, no, I think he's still around. Then when you pointed that one out, I'm like, oh, yeah, we fucking did see it. That goes sometimes. Then I was like, fuck, that's crazy. Yeah, I think he did that one, and then maybe behind this one.
Speaker 1 01:54:06
I can tell you what I've been told I'm going to do and then it'll change tomorrow. Hey, it always happens. I don't know. So we're going to finish up Rocky Point. Corey's on like a big rust kick right now, so I shouldn't say that. You know, so he wants us to cover all the rebar here.
Speaker 1 01:54:37
So we'll probably finish Rocky Point Tuesday, I'm thinking, Wednesday maybe. But, and then he wants us to start on the track here. for the track yeah that way you can have the track guys come out we'll go to stradella from there and then because the tile is like three weeks out in stradella so um that's the current plan.
Speaker 9 01:55:30
they're um oh you mean the whole basin if they change it no it's it's the same it's going to.
Speaker 1 01:55:37
be the same oh yeah so it's the whole basin the infinity wall and edge to waterline and then you've got waterline all the way around wait and then that didn't work there yeah that's what i'm saying yeah but i'm saying you're going to keep it you know the same yeah same as what it was, so but it should go much faster than say like a Tennyson because it's a large format top it's like.
Speaker 1 01:56:09
four by two sections for the most part. The same material or did it change? More or less they don't make the same anymore so I know that was kind of the thing Corey and I were going back and forth with like well I'd like to start setting all my dimensions you know because if I can at least get out there with you know my kind of thought is like Manuel's very detailed you know so if I can.
Speaker 1 01:56:45
get him to set you know Brandon come behind him and start floating and whatnot then we can start teaching those guys how to float like nice. and so i want to get to be able to get like even here like man if i get give me a dimension you, know we can i can get out we you know said that one somewhere might be gone now you know so it's, all fine again i go right there it's it's nice you know because he and i do the you know kind of have.
Speaker 1 01:57:25
the same because the last like at alpine we went and laid it out together it's like what do you do here i do this oh that's cool yeah what do you do well i do this oh that's cool you know so we we, got to be able to you know and then there's a and uh made some adjustments so now for me you can go.
Speaker 1 01:57:56
You go 10 feet out in the topian and then 20 feet, so that way you can put the laser in between and go, you know.
Speaker 9 01:58:12
And the further it gets, the farther the line gets on the laser, shit, you know, it like, it could be all blocked.
Speaker 1 01:58:18
I mean, I think it's 33 feet, it could be an 80. Let's do a little, quick little calibration test like I was showing you at Alpine, where you just kind of 10 feet away, turn it, look at it.
Speaker 9 01:58:28
They don't fucking move, man, they move, you know, they move a lot.
Speaker 1 01:58:30
Yeah, you can't drop them off the spillway at Alpine, right. 
Speaker 9 01:58:33
Hey, hey! They can't handle soccer! You're playing ball! You're practicing! And those ponchos, huh? Dang! I think you already spilled it that day.
Speaker 1 01:58:47
Dude, I felt so bad. I was, I was, it had been a while since I cussed out loud. Oh, wait! Is that my laser? it wasn't even me that was a sad part it was like i went that wind's really picking up if i don't.
Speaker 9 01:59:08
move that laser soon and i'm like son of a that day i'm done oh you can't really you you either.
Speaker 1 01:59:22
need to give me like something to destroy oh shit meaning like when i got mad in soccer it was awesome right because i could i could channel it you know somewhere yeah um, oh yeah people are going down but i was mad like it was i was a defender right like you know. let's put it this way i used to always get this uh hey man you play football no you know but i'm small when i started playing soccer i was a small guy on the field.
Speaker 9 02:00:08
Oh, you guys have that? Oh, no, you guys are done with that fountain, huh, in Malibu? You're not doing the stone, huh. 
Speaker 1 02:00:13
We're not done done, because we still got to fix, like, you know, he didn't overlap some stuff. Oh, the water. You know, we still got some details that we, like the pipe penetrations we got to do. Still, I asked him yesterday, Monday about it. He's like, I don't know what he's done. Whenever he gets back to me, I'll let you know.
Speaker 9 02:00:33
That's probably where we're going to go next, too. Those, you know, those dowels and the floor. Right now, there's no rain.
Speaker 6 02:00:42
You didn't do that yet? We did the ones on the wall.
Speaker 2 02:00:45
Okay.
Speaker 6 02:00:48
And those are still there, because I'm like, I think Corey wanted it. It was literally right on top of the suction, and then, I mean. i don't think nothing will happen because it's deep enough but you're still gonna we're still drilling right right on top of the pipe dude anything to the plumbing once you want to close to the edge links that four inches to the edge of what that stone is that's how distant he wants it.
Speaker 6 02:01:20
but i'm like i think you fly me out i know you're gonna have that can of labor so it might move more but that one doesn't having them right on top of the pipe it doesn't make sense i'd rather just move completely just away from the pipe i mean if you know i mean we know that it's there right if something were to ever happen we had to chip it out or you had to.
Speaker 6 02:01:56
cancel it or you have you know that that's gonna yeah.
Speaker 1 02:02:02
but when we go in to do demo we always kind of like and we try not to you know at that rocky.
Speaker 9 02:02:13
point where they almost like everyone that was a lot a lot of the problem with with yeah i mean well it's it's difficult right like if they don't do it right oh yeah you know doing like pipe detail stuff man they broke so many pipes because that thing had a lot of bunch of jets you know they broke so many pipes they were mad at god i hit another one ah another one like what the.
Speaker 1 02:02:43
well that's where you just gotta look at it i mean is there a process for it right and there's got to be you know there's got to be some aspect that says. Corey's side too it's like if you're gonna bid to do this and understand on some level there's gonna be repairs there's gonna be a buffer in there hey we're going into this wall blind you.
Speaker 1 02:03:17
know um and then if you're the guy at oreo you know because what's funny is like manuel was talking crap on brandon and what's funny about it is like i'm like hey man i told brandon when you chip that one be careful you're gonna chip and it's gonna fall right on there guarantee it he's okay okay brandon and it was playful it wasn't like you know you know and of course he's telling me about it.
Speaker 1 02:03:56
And I'm like, weren't you just, he's like, I know it can happen, but then there's also got to be the other aspect of saying like, it's the management, you have to figure it out, like, okay, is there a way that we can change the process? I don't know how much better we can do it, right? But then if you go into Oriole or something like that, you go, we hit one, we hit two, we hit three, right. 
Speaker 6 02:04:21
You know, when we, when we've done it, all you can do is look into the pipe, kind of see maybe if there's a 90, maybe you can shoot one side or another, and then be like, okay, it looks like at the first one you're going to end up hitting, and there's got to be something where you might, you can kind of see that little angle or something, at least just to have an eye.
Speaker 1 02:04:43
Yeah, no, but even that's how, look in the pipe, you know, and I, so.
Speaker 9 02:04:50
I remember that job, so that was a nice house. I had a bed around, I guess, about a, about a year or so. I think they have a new owner, huh? Is that the new owner? But I don't know who it is. Because when we worked there, it was a... What was it? The post office? Yeah.
Speaker 6 02:05:15
It's like a little...
Speaker 8 02:05:20
Peninsula, you know. You make the turn around the curve and you're sitting right there. Just below that is a break called the crazy, precarious walk down the hill.
Speaker 1 02:05:44
Nowadays, I'm just kind of like, eh. I'm the same, but I also like... It's like, don't tailgate me for the sake of your passion, okay? But at the same time, I appreciate, like, this is the passing lane. You should be passing.
Speaker 8 02:06:11
Yeah, if I'm in the left-hand lane, and I'm 35, and I'm going, you know, 335, 40, and there's a guy on my ass, so yeah, and you let people go by. And there's times when I'll jump out and jump back in. I'll go 80, so that the guy that wants to step it up to the guy that wants to go 90. I'm not going to go 90. When it's Vegas, everybody's going 90 to 100 in Vegas.
Speaker 1 02:06:36
No, I mean, a lot of these, like, I've got two tournaments this weekend. You know, one down in Jada Point, you know, Silver Lake, Northam, you know, like, the whole freeway, whew, oh, yeah, yeah, buddy, I'm right with you.
Speaker 8 02:06:53
When we go to the river and we leave on a Sunday, we usually go out on a Sunday. You can see San Nicolas, there's a boat on the horizon, and between that boat and this chimney stack right here is San Nicolas.
Speaker 1 02:07:18
You can't see it today. Okay. Depending on how tall it is. It's almost like... But they're small regions. Yeah. That's San...
Speaker 8 02:07:25
And then you can see Santa Cruz last week, too, which...
Speaker 1 02:07:29
There. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 8 02:07:29
You can tell. Yeah, they went to Asia. That catamina looked like it was part of PB.
Speaker 1 02:07:37
Well, then there are days I can't even see cataminas from there. Oh, I know. It's so bad.
Speaker 8 02:07:43
Fog. In my house, the clouds sometimes will go this side of PB. And in between my house and PB, there'll be a blanket of what's called... The last couple of weeks, the views are tremendous. You can see the downtown view of the city, LAX, the mountains, and it gets snow on, and it's sort of wet.
Speaker 8 02:08:26
Last night before last, Casey, my aunt, called me. Where are you at? I'm looking for you. Are you looking at the city right now? Matter of fact, I was just reflecting to myself how lucky I am that I have this view as well. It's 3.45, and the sun is setting, and the Voyner Venture and all those buttons, you can see the city popping up.
Speaker 8 02:08:56
Every five minutes, it's a different picture. It's pretty picturesque.
Speaker 1 02:08:60
Yeah. All right, well, I gotta check this out and then get over to Rocky Point. All right. Have yourself a good afternoon.
Speaker 3 02:09:07
What are you gonna be doing today. 
Speaker 1 02:09:45
I don't know. Well, we're not gonna do all the deep stuff. I'm trying to, like, get into it. We're definitely gonna do things.
Speaker 7 02:11:19
there's no holes our plan was to jump in here next i got those cut three bar cut i was gonna.
Speaker 1 02:11:29
how far down is it good um this one looks like it's high if you want to use that you can go ahead and put your thing in that spot two inches there.
Speaker 2 02:12:13
two and a half um i can get another inch off of that you okay yeah yeah i would just take your.
Speaker 1 02:12:27
take the grinder and just like that you know if you can this one was really tight and then. and then this one have you got this one yet yes i have to do more it's really kind of difficult to get this way so feel free to just i would just attack it at an angle there at an angle.
Speaker 1 02:13:01
if you think that's faster i don't i'm not saying you have to i'm just saying part of me, you, Just take it, and just shove it. You just need an inch off of the end of the base like I went to. But just get to there. Doesn't matter however much I chip away. And then, you know, we can come back.
Speaker 1 02:13:34
Make sure we take pictures and everything. I didn't see anything uploaded from the ground yesterday. No. 
Speaker 2 02:13:45
Alex even stayed in and was watching him make a video.
Speaker 1 02:13:51
Well, you can't upload a video the same way. That's different. So maybe he made a video thinking it would be better. Oh, I'm gonna go to Rocky Point right now and I'll ask him. Was it difficult to grout. 
Speaker 2 02:14:08
Yeah, a little difficult. It looks good. Maybe when we're grouting it. Just wipe that out as clean as possible.
Speaker 1 02:14:16
Yeah, you know, but we'll get there. Give me a call before you decide what to do today. Depending on how far we get, we might want to come back and finish this tomorrow.
Speaker 1 02:14:48
So call you at the end of the day? With enough time, because if I say pack up, right, then you're going to want enough time to pack up or just what do I do? Do I pack up or do I cover up, you know? But my guess is if you still have the spa, Tomorrow. Yeah, I'm half-tempted, though.
Speaker 1 02:15:27
All right. I think you'll like this gear tomorrow. That's where I'm leaning right now.
Speaker 3 02:17:12
Thank you. Stop, this is for you.
Speaker 3 02:17:44
It ain't no. 
Speaker 10 02:17:50
Here's what I will tell you now, and I've always said, the president always attains the option, if he, every president, not this president, every president, always attains the option. I'm not talking about Greenland, I'm just talking about global. If the president identifies the threat to the security of the United States in different ways, that included in Venezuela. We tried repeatedly to reach an outcome here that did not involve having to go in and grab an indicted truck traffic- unfortunately. do you not worry about that well first of all the bottom line is that there is a process now.
Speaker 10 02:18:24
in place where we have tremendous control and leverage over what those interim authorities are doing and are able to do but obviously this will be a process of transition in the end it will be up to the venezuelan people to transform their country we are prepared under the right conditions using the leverage that we have which includes the fact that they cannot move any oil unless we allow them to move it to well again i'm not so i understand that in this progress progress where the states have over those interim authorities is going to begin to lead the positive.
Speaker 7 02:18:52
referring to an announcement by president trump yesterday that two billion dollars worth of venezuelan oil is going to be allowed to be exported from venezuela to the united states, i'm clear to me whether or not venezuela is going to be paid for that oil or whether that is to defray the operation absolute resolve cost don't know but we'll continue to bring you news of that i'm talking with secretary houston uh, right after the break, Find out what was said in the briefing today in the Senate if he intended attended that and we'll continue to bring updates from Minneapolis. Just understand the video appears to justify the shooting, but we aren't there. You're not there. We don't have all the angles. We don't know what was said to the woman in the car. We don't know who the woman in the car was. She was not dead. We do know that Jacob Fry is a moron. It goes not seem to riots in your city. Don't be surprised if you get them. Stay tuned.

Welcome back, America. I'm Hugh Hewitt, joined by United States Senator John Husted from the great state of Ohio, my home state. Senator Husted, welcome back. Happy 2026 to you. I want to begin by asking, were you in the classified briefing this morning on Operation Absolute Resolve in Venezuela over the weekend. 
Speaker 16 02:23:13
I was, and General Kane did an amazing job of explaining what I think was one of the most effective military actions of my lifetime to go in, arrest Maduro and his wife, have no American lose their life in that process, and not lose a single helicopter or asset, and to bring him back to America for trial. An amazing, amazing achievement for our U.S. military.
Speaker 7 02:23:43
Did anything that you can disclose surprise you? A classified briefing is classified for a lot of reasons. Some of them just to deny the enemies we have around the world knowledge about how we operate. But is there anything that's unclassified that you can tell us about that amazed you about that operation. 
Speaker 16 02:24:05
I can just, I can just say this, that if you really fully were in that briefing and you heard the complexity and the planning that went into this and how, look, we could have just taken out Maduro if that's, if that's what we wanted to do, but we wanted to execute a legal order to try him in court. And that made this operation so much harder. Call may be monitored and recorded to ensure quality of service and for training purposes.

Absolutely ridiculous. These people are violating federal law. We have federal law enforcement officials that enforce that law. That's just like saying that you're going to tell the FBI they can't. It's ridiculous in these... Look, we have to enforce the rule of law. I hate to break the news to mayors, but when you have crime in your city, the law-abiding citizens don't like it. And it's... You've got to get out of the way. You've got to enforce...
Speaker 13 02:27:55
welcome to gospel in life you're listening to cultivating a healthy marriage with tim keller this short podcast series features the messages from the most popular sermon series of dr keller's time at redeemer presbyterian church preached in 1991 this series was the basis for the best-selling book by tim and kathy keller the meaning of marriage whether you're single married widowed or divorced this series helps you learn how to apply god's wisdom about marriage to your life.
Speaker 17 02:28:16
uh this is the sixth week i understand that everybody wants to buy the series of tapes on marriage building and so i'm uh i'm thinking of you know sixth in a series of uh 652 talks on on marriage no this is our sixth talk on this passage the uh the classic text in the scripture on christian marriage ephesians 5 and i would just like to read it to you and then.
Speaker 17 02:28:50
uh continue our exposition of it this is the sixth week they've been on it, Ephesians 5, and sorry about my sound, and sorry about the occasional memory lapses that I'm found to have tonight, but let's see if we can muddle through best we can. That's Ephesians 5, and we'll go verses 21 to 33. It's a great passage to know by heart. Here it goes. Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church, his body of which he is the Savior. Now, as the church submits to Christ, so wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
Speaker 17 02:29:23
Husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the church, and gave himself up for her, to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body. But he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church, for we are members of his body. For this reason, a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. This is a profound mystery, but I am talking about Christ and the church.
Speaker 17 02:29:56
However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. This is God's word. Now, there's been topics, and in the early part of the series, I said we were going to move through topics. We said we would look at marriage as ministry. We'd look at marriage as covenant or commitment. We've been looking at marriage as friendship. But tonight, I'd like to bridge out of, finish up, very briefly, the idea of marriage as friendship, and bridge into another section. We said the purpose of marriage is friendship.
Speaker 17 02:30:26
However, we also said this passage teaches us that there's a structure. There's a role structure in marriage. That the role of husband and wife is not reversible. And his mother and father enclave to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. When two people of two different genders, and the spirit on one flesh. And on all flesh, excuse me, I will pour out my spirit on all flesh. There we go. And that doesn't mean I will pour out my spirit on everybody's body. It means I'll pour out my spirit on all people. And see, this has got such a tremendous power over how you think of yourself. Remember this at the end of last week? There's a little less.
Speaker 17 02:30:57
Years ago, this insight, which is very, very biblical, came from a paper that my wife read by Arvin Engelson. Remember that? Arvin, where are you? We don't even know. He was a student at Gordon Conwell. We barely knew him. He had a paper that Kathy had to read in some kind of seminar. It was on marriage as a vehicle of redemption. And it is such a powerful paper. It shaped my whole understanding of what the Bible says about marriage. I've never met the guy, and I have no idea where he is. Arvin Engelson, if you're listening to this tape, I want you to know, your paper has meant a lot to me. And in that paper, he says, marriage is recreational.

And these are some of the things he says. He says, your entire life, your entire self-image is basically a compilation of verdicts that have been passed on you. Things that people have said about you. Now when you get married, your spouse has got massive ability to overturn, has the power to overturn all those verdicts in a single word. Your spouse has the ability to reprogram your self-appreciation. Your spouse can say, I don't care what anybody ever, ever said, you're smart. You are a bright person. And you will become feeling bright. You'll feel that way. And if everybody else has said, I think that you are a louse. I think that you amount to nothing. Your spouse says, I think you're a significant human being.
Speaker 17 02:31:60
I think you contribute to so many people's lives. You'll start to feel significant. It's also true if your spouse starts to say, you're a louse. You'll never amount to a hill of beans. What that does is it completely destroys you. You see, marriage, you put into the, when you get married, you put into the hands of your spouse.
