[TRANSCRIPTION]
Speaker 1 00:01:04
Hey, how are you. 
Speaker 2 00:01:10
Good, is it Friday? Yes it is.
Speaker 1 00:01:14
I don't know.
Speaker 2 00:01:35
So, yesterday I said, okay, tomorrow, you know, I'll do this and that And also, you know, I'll talk to you, ah, see you tomorrow, right? And at 5, give me a message, You know, hey, Are you waiting for them?
Speaker 2 00:02:05
No, nothing. You didn't open it. Yes, I did. Oh, okay. So, maybe, you know, 15 minutes.
Speaker 2 00:04:10
So, we need the pipes, so that's MortarBed 2000, it has fibers for the membrane to stick well and it's smooth, because the membrane doesn't want it to be very smooth or very rough.
Speaker 2 00:04:49
So, then it's M1, marine, with sand, and more membrane with mesh, here, then... Hi, this is La Membrana, the moon is in the moon.
Speaker 3 00:09:16
where did you think we were going this morning i was i was if i didn't see the text in the morning.
Speaker 2 00:09:21
i was gonna go straight to rocky point i don't know so don't don't feel like i'm beating you right okay this is just me going how does that because yesterday i said okay and tomorrow we'll come back and do the the membrane the membrane c and mesh and uh.
Speaker 2 00:09:52
you're offering me yeah you're gonna give me the start right sorry i don't know if we share it so i was like no i like i i i appreciate it sorry what you're saying um so um yesterday i was like okay we'll we'll do the, you know and this is this is okay because i said make sure to get those first that way when we come.
Speaker 2 00:10:22
back tomorrow you know we're ready for it right you know hey i'll see you tomorrow right right but you did something and then brandon texted me this morning it's like so rocky point right i'm like no okay it's like if you think that then maybe um renee does so can you confirm that renee ain't no it's like nope not like no i refuse but it's like no i don't know confirm that renee.
Speaker 2 00:10:53
doesn't know so i sent a text to both of them like just so what time did you send it um what.
Speaker 3 00:10:59
time did you send the text this morning yeah it was like around five something, yeah as soon as i said the texas the time i had woken up.
Speaker 2 00:11:08
Okay, so you weren't on the you weren't heading I wouldn't know luckily I saw the text 525, Okay, yeah, so Brandon good morning at 510. Good morning. Are we going to Rocky Point. 
Speaker 3 00:11:23
Okay, yeah, so so the game plan for today is m1 sand and then membrane C.
Speaker 2 00:11:32
Right right m1 and sand right so m1 here sand it and then membrane C put a mesh in there while it's still wet right and then then your second layer, of memories so and Brandon knows exactly how it goes but two inches out right when you do this, what so we can have like an overlap yeah exactly whatever we tie in.
Speaker 2 00:12:09
from when we you know we want it to be one continuous member right so whenever we tie in, we're going to go two inches yeah manual stress is not a lot right right so and then what's important to do also is just not just think about it when you're when you're applying it but think about it, um like as you're approaching it like here's my plant right when i chip when i oh when i.
Speaker 2 00:12:47
installed this membrane right am i going to have the necessary overlap right right if you're thinking about it beforehand you never get to a point where you go oh shoot right you know i forgot or something yeah because there's so many instances where, you know the opposite yeah we ended up like when we had to fix a whole bunch of tiles at hoping which is the first job that i was on we would end up having to like say you'd have like.
Speaker 2 00:13:22
a square right here actually just so i can we'll say these are tiles right right and they say oh we want to remove these tiles well we would have to like remove these ones and then also detail these ones so we just remove the tile and not the uh you know and not the membrane so we can get our overlap right make sense so everything we're doing is bonding right so think about it like.
Speaker 2 00:14:06
like a cake with icing in the middle right when you cut into the cake even though you can see all the different layers because they're different colors right that icing in the middle stuff right, you don't just pick up the cake right it's like what comes with what right because it's it's stuck, bonding although it's different layers it is now one piece right so imagine taking that cake.
Speaker 2 00:14:38
through whatever way you can without any type of sanding or grinding. try to make one try try to take off the top layer of cake without mess if we envision the icing as the membrane right is this membrane try it try to take off the cake without taking off the membrane.
Speaker 2 00:15:09
that's that's a tough one it's a tough one right and then try to do it from the top instead of from the side you know what i mean so so we call that a detailed demo so if we say the cake is the tile, what we would do now we've actually gotten good at it it's sad um you chisel the top and get it to break up and then you just do little tiny chisels.
Speaker 2 00:15:45
to get the individual pieces out right as much as possible and then, You take a Dremel tool or a sanding bit on a drill, sand it like you're milling something, and you just sand off the last little layer of the tile that's stuck here, and now you're... And then you've got a whole other issue, too, because when we float everything, like I float everything, or design all of our floats.
Speaker 2 00:16:27
Sixteenth inch for membrane, and a sixteenth inch for sensei.
Speaker 3 00:16:33
That's why we've got the mill gauge in the arm.
Speaker 2 00:16:35
So if you put another sixteenth, right, you go to overlap it, now you've got... What size is it? It's an eighth inch. Yeah, so now you're a sixteenth up, so that tile is going to go like this, by a sixteenth, right. 
Speaker 3 00:16:50
You were talking about this section right here.
Speaker 2 00:16:53
Right. Well, so here I'm not worried, because what we've started to do since then, and this is the stuff that I think people don't appreciate, it used to be it's like, well, we'll just float it, and if we miss anything, no big deal, right? Right. No, no. You know, because they'll just adjust when they tile, right? Let me just, I'll put a level across it, and I'll just put extra fins in it. Yeah, they work that.
Speaker 2 00:17:23
So much freaking time. And so now, a guy like you, right, who's trying to, like, learn to be a tile installer, right? And even, by the way, guys that used to do it all the time, like, that alone used to be on the tile crew. Uh-huh. Now watching him do it. Man, he's like flying along. Oh yeah, and he's fast. Right? And he's fast. But, you know, he's fast at the stuff that he shouldn't do anyway.
Speaker 2 00:17:57
When you use the trowel, it's... Let me answer you right here. What is the point of using the trowel. 
Speaker 3 00:18:09
For a certain measurement of the thickness of the zip.
Speaker 2 00:18:12
Right. So, it matters which one you use, right? The idea is that it's double. If you want a sixteenth, you get an eighteenth. Right? But it's always different to you, for example. Right. And for us, it's different as well because we key it in. We key it in, which is getting all these... uh like keying in basically precedence that way i can make sure i get things that you know right.
Speaker 2 00:18:46
gotcha and then comb it you know why we do that no we knock it down so there are no air pockets.
Speaker 3 00:18:57
is that what you're talking about like where you try to get like at least like 90 to 100 percent.
Speaker 2 00:19:01
like something like like how right well it's two things right so one you can you can't get, you're not gonna get 100 you're not getting a 90 right um but if you knock it all down now the whole tile is going to get all of them and if you have little channels in there from from combing it without knocking it down bacteria will get there and get stuck right because you don't have flowing water there so the bacteria will get in there and it'll grow and pop the title off it's like uh.
Speaker 2 00:19:40
like seeing that an acorn come through concrete you know it's like that so back to like here right, when you come you put this layer of membrane on it and you um use the nail gauge i can assure you i think we did this one wrong that's what i i don't think you would like i think this thing.
Speaker 2 00:20:13
isn't supposed to but if done right this part doesn't matter um so here i'll give you another one here but after you put this on it's right then now you can come and you can pile it crazy because you can go and put, Whatever. I don't know if you're doing straight or whatever. You can do large sections and just go boom, boom with the tile.
Speaker 4 00:20:41
Yeah, because your confidence, it's all slipped right out of you.
Speaker 2 00:20:44
Yeah, the measurement's good. Now you're just making sure. Right? Um, so. That's that. Right? And the other aspect is now what we do is, we put the waterproofing layer behind the flow so that way once we flow we put a, it's a waterproofing layer but it's called anti-fracture and it's more just for movement of tile. Right? But here's the deal. If I have that same situation with tape where I have to do all that I don't have to worry about the waterproofing.
Speaker 2 00:21:16
It's not there to waterproof. It's just there for anti-fracture. I don't have to actually get my two inch overlap. Got it. Make sense? I got it. So we started doing it that way so we flow, we membrane before we flow. And that keeps us from having to be as detailed when we go in this if, yeah, if, yeah, if the occasion occurs.
Speaker 2 00:21:48
Deducted from your check, man. I already did this with him, so I'm not upset. I just try to, how are you? I'm doing well, thank you. I try to figure out where we went wrong, so I can figure it out, you know. So when I ask you this question, it's not like, hey, Brandon, you're in this picture. So yesterday, we talked about...
Speaker 2 00:22:24
Don't worry as much about the holes here, right? Filling up the holes here, because we can always do that tomorrow. I want to make sure that we get the Mortarbed 2000 and all the pipes, because when we come back tomorrow, those need to be cured so that we can put the membrane and the Maya and everything in the M1. We have an FM1, right? Yeah, we have an FM1. Okay. So I was, you know, and so we had that conversation, and then, you know,
Speaker 2 00:22:56
hey, you know, see you guys tomorrow, you know, I said to Jose. Jose. And then I get the text from you going, hey, we're going to Rocky Point. How'd this happen. 
Speaker 3 00:23:11
That's my question. I was in my thing, the M1 was sand, and the membrane cheated to around the pipes. Because it's not a whole bunch of work, is that what you're saying? Yeah, and then I was thinking the same thing. But then I'm thinking if he's having us go out there, maybe we're going to meet a concho or somebody else.
Speaker 3 00:23:43
I don't know, I was just thinking. And then you were saying, Rene was coming out here too.
Speaker 2 00:23:49
Well, I mean, I want to make sure that there's always two people in it. Unless it's a, if I can, I want to make sure there's two people just for my safety. So, I think, you know, what we can do is, you know, we should clean this up too. We have to clean it, right. 
Speaker 3 00:24:14
My thoughts on the law here with the membrane team. You were talking about how you'd like to meet. make things look uniform and clean, and if I was going to put the membrane C on the bottom part of the wall covering the holes, there would be another patched in piece of wood.
Speaker 2 00:24:40
Yeah, we definitely want to do that, because no matter what, we're going to have to come back and do just that solid one. You know, now if you guys said, well I couldn't do that today. Let me see this, how long do you think this is. 
Speaker 3 00:24:60
Pressure wash it. I mean, that's a generous, that mortar bed is a thousand drives. Unless you can use alcohol for the mortar bed.
Speaker 2 00:25:17
But it would be best with pressure wash. I think yeah, I think you should pressure wash it. In fact, let's pressure wash it sooner than later, and then I'll take the pressure washer. Because the other pressure washer won't. No, the M1 takes 18 wet, 18 dirty, 18, you know, and with all of them.
Speaker 2 00:26:04
And with the pressure washer, once you have the time, I think it'll take you longer than the first person. Just from, if you do it and you put them all on, it takes 45 minutes to 2 hours. In order to, for the second coat, you know, the mesh takes a little bit of extra time. I think it'll take longer than that.
Speaker 3 00:26:30
With these pipes up here and the mesh, wouldn't it be a good way to just piece it around without, wrap it all the way around. 
Speaker 2 00:26:42
Yeah, I'd do that, but if you wanted to come down a little bit, that's fine. Okay. When we do this guy, can you M1 the metal here, Steve. 
Speaker 3 00:27:00
Okay, right where it goes into the mortar bit. 
Speaker 2 00:27:02
Yeah, I think that we need to treat those grounding points that way as well. There's movement with the wire and it kind of breaks open. It's a penetration. I think that any penetration, I was actually telling myself today, we shouldn't even call it pipe penetration, call it penetration, penetration, you know, you know, because this is the same thing. We can clean up this pipe bit without scraping it. Maybe we're going to do a detailed, you know, take the time and get those areas.
Speaker 2 00:27:52
If we tap it, you know, it's kind of like a break off. I've got all the big chunks off and I hit it with it a couple of times. We can do the same thing. Tap it a little bit more, get that stuff off, you know. I'd rather keep it galvanized than, I don't care.
Speaker 2 00:28:29
I'd rather not mess with the galvanized than remove that stain, it's galvanized, I mean, there's a point.
Speaker 3 00:29:00
What about on the top? I bet you it's stained.
Speaker 2 00:29:08
Yeah, it'll be just like that. I mean, Brent, the welding guy. I don't know.
Speaker 3 00:29:16
he's like i'm not doing this you know no no do it the way you want to go on top of those you know.
Speaker 2 00:29:24
on top of the wall remember and see on it um we won't end up coming back to it later because we're going to be piping and bring top of the ball at one point he said outside here nope i mean.
Speaker 2 00:29:60
if you stand over there on this side see what's gonna happen you know the water can go. So it's going to be sealed from there, so there will be no water. But I do think, I think you're right.
Speaker 3 00:30:36
The inside of the truss are coated with a, that's going to be good.
Speaker 2 00:30:47
Yeah. Do you have enough membrane tape at the top. 
Speaker 3 00:30:53
Yeah. I know he said hold off on the tie-in.
Speaker 2 00:31:24
so we can always do the tomboy yeah yeah we can do it like i'm actually switching my opinion on these because i think it's stainless.
Speaker 3 00:31:54
stainless you can be scratched if it's stainless we wouldn't want to scrape it.
Speaker 2 00:32:14
Yolk. i'd say stick with our original there all right um okay good um and i just from uh this i don't i.
Speaker 2 00:33:01
don't mean this to sound negative at all because i can say this about myself i always take longer.
Speaker 3 00:33:10
than i think yeah yeah i'm not having been i try to be good with my estimate on time but what's he doing. ask me if I wanted a cup of coffee. I said, sure, but I'm gonna go.
Speaker 2 00:33:33
Yeah, but we need to be like having a beverage. All right. And maybe I won't. How long do you need a fresh one. 
Speaker 1 00:33:48
By the time I get it over there. 
Speaker 2 00:34:18
There's worse, but it's spraying water. Out of the way. Yeah. So, but we're not gonna be back on Wednesday.
Speaker 2 00:35:17
So Monday, I'll have you do a final clean up, load everything, open. Alex. So everything will leave today. You'll take everything to 8th street. Monday.
Speaker 1 00:35:54
I'm dirty at 8th. I got everything in my truck right now. Have a good one.
Speaker 2 00:36:45
You don't need a RAM board, right. 
Speaker 1 00:37:47
We will fall apart, we love, and I, and I, we will stop, we will stop.
Speaker 1 00:39:31
Hi, you've reached Ashley and Ecclesia, please. Ashley and said, can I call you later?
Speaker 1 00:40:16
is yours in the name of the Lord.
Speaker 1 00:42:41
Jesus hears me, my deepest wrong. Even a king gave yours, but Jesus retracts.
Speaker 1 00:43:20
Your nonsense, please.
Speaker 1 00:43:54
How long will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? Will you forgive me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
Speaker 1 00:44:36
How long must I be counseling myself?
Speaker 1 00:45:17
Because I'm shaking.
Speaker 1 00:46:13
In your steadfast love, I rejoice in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, because he has taught bountifully with me.
Speaker 1 00:47:15
How majestic is your name. You have said Because of your.
Speaker 1 00:48:19
Thank you. You have made him a living, you know.
Speaker 1 00:49:23
Whatever, Bye.
Speaker 1 00:50:08
I'ma just name it, I'ma just name it all.
Speaker 1 00:51:17
Those who build labor in the Lord. Watches over the sick. Watchman stays awake, In vain. Yes, in vain He rides on the.
Speaker 1 00:51:52
Engolating The bread, Ancestor, For he gives to his beloved Sleep. So stupid labor watches the city, the watchman stays away.
Speaker 1 00:52:45
The old children are brutal, the kids see, oh yeah, the children move forever.
Speaker 1 00:53:21
Those who build it, labor, overwatches all day. The watchman stays away. Infest a man with a vision of people to shame.
Speaker 1 00:53:56
Speaks when he's in a yike.
Speaker 3 00:54:21
Dude, morning.
Speaker 5 00:54:22
How are you? I'm alright, dude. Holding it together.
Speaker 2 00:54:29
That kind of day, huh. 
Speaker 5 00:54:33
Yesterday, dude. It's just, you know, me trying not to be angry this year. That lasted about four working days.
Speaker 2 00:54:41
Yeah. Here's my Christian pitch for the year for you. Alright, cool. Right? Try to do it right, and then no matter how hard you try, you'll fail. That's why you need Jesus. That's my pitch. Alright. We're all going to fail. I get it, dude.
Speaker 5 00:55:11
I don't care that I fail, right? It's like I get it. Say, hey, dude, I messed up. This is really my mistake. I'll try not to do it again. But these guys, man, we're like in square one, right? Where, hey, charge this battery. Yeah, bring that battery. Well, hey, it's not charged. Well, I think somebody unplugged me. Dude, isn't that Construction 101? You hook up a power tool and you hit the trigger, right? You hit the trigger to see if you have power. Like, doesn't the charger start blinking and say, hey, I have power.
Speaker 5 00:55:45
And if it doesn't blink, it's like, hey, I better go check my connection. You know, it's like, Memo, it's like, we've been working here for a month. And I, the same setup, sawdust, laser, blah. It's like, Memo, the first thing you do is you plug in the laser, charge the battery so that we have uninterrupted laser all day and we don't have to move it or anything. So I turn around, I'm looking for the laser and it's like, hey. What happened to the laser? Oh, the battery died. He didn't say, I forgot to charge the battery. He said the battery died.
Speaker 2 00:56:16
Yeah, it happened to me.
Speaker 5 00:56:18
Right. And then it's like, hey, let me get the saws off. Oh, let me go get it. Oh, you didn't bring it up here this morning? The way we've been doing it for the past month, every morning? Oh no, it's downstairs. If I could get me a hacksaw blade, I'll just do it by hand. By the time you go get it and bring it back up, I'm done cutting. Like just this little stuff like that, you know? And it's just like, and the biggest thing that ticked me off is that I didn't work Wednesday. I did mean stuff at the store.
Speaker 5 00:56:56
So it's just me finishing some hats and you guys retrying to read. Yeah, dude, I'll be done here. Even if that's fine, I'll get this done today. Boom, ready. I walked up to the top, and I can't help but get it done. Oh, it's because some rebar that's in the way. It's like, really? You know how many rebar's we get?
Speaker 5 00:57:57
Yeah, so anyways, the bad information caused me to set up a schedule with Corey that freaking blew up in our face before the day ended. And it's like, what the fuck, you know? And that's just, and that's what pushed me over. I didn't go from zero to 100 yesterday. The speed had been creeping up since, like, last week, you know, where they're working on that rack, and I'm not going to share this with you or not, you know, and I told Rudy, and I was actually going to call you that day. I said, am I going to be a dick if I say something to him that's mean?
Speaker 5 00:58:28
So I said, hey, build the rack, build the mainframe, the exterior mainframe, and Rudy had called me just to secure the mainframe. And if you have time, sure, that's time. And so then Belon shares a picture with me. I'm like, why did you guys install those crossmembers? I don't know, Rudy said to install them. I said, no, I told them to cut four. You guys cut five and installed them. Why?
Speaker 5 00:58:59
We're going to have to pull those off and reinstall them once they have my exact layout. Like, why would you guys do that? i don't understand i never said install them right so it just goes back to like is that a reason for me to say hey what the f are you doing right for me it's like no and part of it is like look guys i came in here one day from our vacation time to do the layout right because i knew you guys needed a layout otherwise that's another day that we don't finish here and it's like and i did that.
Speaker 5 00:59:30
like proactively being like man i gotta get six redone asap right and so it becomes a i'm already.
Speaker 1 00:59:38
saving budget back hello you there.
Speaker 5 01:00:06
Rebar gets in the way and we forget everything. It's just like, and all these little things just kind of, you know, padding up. And I'm just like, what the fuck? But once their mistakes start making me look like a mistake, fuck this shit. I'm going to blow this thing up right now. You know, because, yeah. So that's just the way the world is going for me now.
Speaker 2 01:00:37
I hear you. Sometimes I feel like I have to tell you stories just to tell you you're not the only one.
Speaker 5 01:00:46
No, I know that. I know that, you know. And the reason I know is because freaking, put it in here. Instead of freaking paying attention to what we're doing, he's like, oh, dude, they're doing this at Rocky Point. You know, I think they're moving along here. They're moving along here. He goes on BuilderTrend. He looks at pictures and looks at stuff. and you get to our stuff and it's like dude what happened here oh that's because i thought that's what you said focus here man i don't care what you guys are doing it's just like our attention is here like if you have time to look at pictures and see what they're doing and doing this stuff.
Speaker 5 01:01:20
it's like use that energy and time to focus on like what should i start on the following morning you know just don't get it yeah yeah anyway thank you thank you doctor um what's your call.
Speaker 2 01:01:37
about well here let me give you my my five second little uh side note yesterday i left malibu and i said hey if you're gonna finish something like i know we set out to finish this today, But, if you finish that, and you don't finish this, then you're screwed for tomorrow when you come here. So, let's flip this, and you guys work on this, right?
Speaker 2 01:02:07
And then when you're finished, go work on that. Oh, okay, okay. So, they ended up finishing them both, but, you know, that I, you know, that I get a text from Brandon this morning at like 5, 10 a.m. Hey, so we're going to Rocky Point today, right? No, you guys still have to do the membrane that we talked about for the pipe fittings.
Speaker 2 01:02:43
Oh, okay. So, what about Renee? Well, Renee thinks we're going to Rocky Point too. so let me let me get this straight you know so i texted both of them i asked them like well okay guys i'm not mad i'm just trying to understand how we decided that like did we not have this conversation well yeah so i said that tomorrow you guys are going to do this here yeah.
Speaker 2 01:03:14
so how did we get to rocky point i don't know brayden oh you know what i remembered i remembered, um we're gonna finish this in like an hour i figured there's no way that you're gonna send us here for like an hour's worth of work um an hour well like two hours but i think that's being generous so you're telling me after you do this if you do the pressure washer you do.
Speaker 2 01:03:48
Yeah, two hours, man. Okay. Well, tell you what. Why don't you pressure wash it and then load up the pressure washer? How long do you think that's going to take? We'll probably be done with pressure washing in like 30 minutes. Wait a minute here. Just surface prep alone is going to take 30 minutes? And you're going to be done in two hours? And that's generous? And you've got to wait between 45 minutes to two hours for the membrane C to dry on the first pass? And you need another... Oh, well, maybe it's going to take a little bit longer. And you made all of this without talking to me in opposition to what I told you we were going to do. 
Speaker 5 01:04:21
Oh, dude, I'm glad somebody else understands. It sucks. Yeah. From the material that I brought today... Why do you think I said, I never mentioned that, but you guys decided to work on that because that's the path of least resistance. Now we don't have fittings to finish what you guys started, even though priority was over here, you know, and it's just a constant dude. And it's like day 16 of the year and I'm already fucking, I'm just fucking exploding. It took a dump on my personal schedule because yesterday I'm like, oh yeah, dude, picking up these jets. I'll be done by this time. I'll have mammal stain vacuum and clean up the spa, load up my tools.
Speaker 5 01:05:13
I'll be home by four to five o'clock. Continue working on memes. That's Thursday, Friday. We'll go to Malibu. We'll do this thing in Malibu colony right there. We're out by three 30. I'll be home by five. It gives me another four or five hours to work on memes. And at some point Saturday, I have it done. Give it to Corey by Sunday morning. He could look it over and deliver on Monday. Like he promised for the third time, right? This is the third time I'm holding him up from delivering this estimate. And it's like, okay, I just lost my Thursday. i just lost my friday i mean it's not over yet but i know what i have in front of me.
Speaker 5 01:05:46
and if i don't pressure if i pressure test by the end of the day i'll probably come by tomorrow morning just to make sure we're holding pressure because by five o'clock it's already dark and i wouldn't read it yeah you guys don't know that yeah but it's like you guys don't know that that's what i was thinking of doing with this estimate but the way i was asking you guys to.
Speaker 5 01:06:17
do things was based so that i could have that time to do it you know and it's just like me again, you know and it's just i don't get it i don't get it that's all it's all like just that's.
Speaker 2 01:06:40
And unfortunately, it's, you know, Brandon lost me a dollar yesterday because I did a side bet with Corey, you know, like, well, why would we, you know, fill all these holes around the all thread but not fill the holes that were like, you know, pilot holes or whatever, you know, the initial layout or whatever all those holes were. So it's like, does he just turn his brain off? Or what's going on? I said, Honestly, I'll bet you he'll ask me that. In fact, I'll do a dollar side bet. But I think I'm gonna lose my mind.
Speaker 2 01:07:15
I lost my dollar. And he's like, deal, deal, side bet, you know. So, hey, Brandon, you want to go? You want to go over everything? Yeah, yeah. Okay, switch plan. I'm gonna do this and this. What do you think? Any concerns you have? No, I've got no concerns. Any questions you have for me? No, I have no questions for you. You just lost me a dollar. And he goes, why? And so I said, hold on a second. And I pull up the picture in BuilderTrend,
Speaker 2 01:07:46
the one that stopped me in my tracks and must have stopped Cory in his tracks. And he looks at the picture and he's like, oh yeah, I wanted to ask you about those holes. You want me to do anything? I'm like, mother effer. At least, I'm glad you saw it, man. But you lost me a dollar, you know. 
Speaker 5 01:08:03
Yeah, I mean, look, yesterday at 418, Memo was texting me, hey, make sure you pick up one inch tees, all right, perfect. I picked up some couplings, it was 45, just I'm like, okay, just in case. So as I'm already mad, cause I had lost a few hours yesterday morning, realized, okay, we're gonna be short rebar. Realized, everybody said, oh, I remember you, those rebars, bring them back. I'm like, yeah, everybody.
Speaker 5 01:08:40
But anyway, Magnano says, hey, do you think seven. 
Speaker 1 01:09:06
Your call has been forwarded to an. Yeah.
Speaker 5 01:09:31
Yeah, so at some point, everybody knew we had already used the rebar that we had removed, so at some point they had to do it replaced, but nobody said, hey, Poncho, don't forget to bring the rebar if we're going to tie the rebar back, you know. And at the same time, I was like, hey, are 790s enough to connect nine jets? So I said, no, we need at least two jets, so at least 18. He's like, okay, because we only have seven. And this is a guy who was texting me at 418 in the morning saying, hey, don't forget the T's, you know.
Speaker 5 01:10:02
And it's like, okay, so now I'm missing rebar, and I'm missing 90s. That's going to cost me at least an hour and a half to go find it, come back. I lost two hours in the morning because these guys couldn't put a piece of pipe through rebar. They forgot how to cut and move rebar. That's already three and a half hours. Yeah, so they just took a big old dump. Yeah, so that was yesterday, and then Corey was like, yeah, if they've got free time, send them over to 830. They can start cutting panels, and it was like 250. and rudy and uh elon were like hey so you don't want us to go to eighth street i'm like no you're.
Speaker 5 01:10:35
gonna get there by three five three ten find a parking spot you're gonna offload tools 15 minutes, that's already 3 30 and it's going to take 30 minutes to pick your stuff back up so what are you guys gonna go do oh so what do we do i said that's it go home here there's nothing else for you guys to do here i go home and i know corey's about i want to try and give him 40 hours it's like dude if you literally want me to tell him to sit there while you pay him like i'll be more than happy to do that but if they want playing time they gotta earn it like i'm done having.
Speaker 5 01:11:06
them be like sometimes rudy there's 20 minutes left then you start stacking common adobes, something he never does but it's like it's 20 minutes you know it's like dude jason tried and be like all right there's nothing to do let's go home like i need you guys to execute i need you guys to be here to do what you're doing he has to do so i know that it's going to rub for you the wrong way like if you want to babysit him dude or if you want to pay him, to sit there. I'll even bring some crippled chairs so they don't hurt themselves. You can sit there and pay them. I can't babysit guys doing nothing. Right. Anyway, we'll cross that when we get there.
Speaker 2 01:11:47
Hey, yeah, those stainless pipes coming out of the top of the water feature at, Broad Beach. Yep. Corey wanted me to get all the concrete off of them. Okay. But I can't sand those, right? Like I got to just kind of like, you know, detailed hammer, you know, kind of like just.
Speaker 5 01:12:14
break them off. Well, that's Corey's detail. And I mean, I don't know if he explained to you that they're going to get cut and welded to the bottom of the trough. Right. So, I understand there's some waterproofing. I just don't know how the waterproofing is going to handle the heat when those are getting molded. You know, that's just a freaking side note. But yeah, I think you sand them. There should be no issue with it. I mean, you have to, to create a bonding surface. I mean, I would treat those like PVC pipes.
Speaker 5 01:12:45
I mean, that's what I would tell my guys to do if Corey said, Hey, you think your guys can detail those? Or your guys, meaning Pelon and Memo. And I would be like, yeah, just sand them down. Wash them off with alcohol like you would normal pipes. I'd do your detail.
Speaker 2 01:12:59
Okay, cool.
Speaker 5 01:13:01
I mean, that's what I would do.
Speaker 2 01:13:02
Yeah, okay. Yeah, so Brent, while he was out there, said that there's no way that the heat will get down to the waterproofing. Okay. So, with that pipe. So, he's like, yeah, I'm not worried about that.
Speaker 5 01:13:20
You heard it from the plumber? You heard it from the welder? Dude, you're golden.
Speaker 2 01:13:25
So, sweet. Cool. All right, man. You know, well, I could chat with you all day, but I, knowing what, you know, I'm not going to be another person that takes, takes your schedule away from you.
Speaker 5 01:13:47
Nah, I mean, look, dude, right now it's under my control. It's like, I got today and tomorrow, right? So to me now, it's like my schedule blew up and it's like, the only thing I could do right now is make sure this gets done right. And I don't have to worry about overtime. I don't have to worry about people not doing what I ask them to do. If I fail, it's on a hundred percent on me. I'm okay with that bet. A dollar, I'll get it done. I'm not betting against you, man. It's going to be like, I plug in my battery this morning. I make sure my light is on.
Speaker 5 01:14:18
like the other day asked rudy at the end of the day hey just plug in the light just plug in the battery for the laser there's like 20 minutes till four he said just plug it in and then he goes and he unplugs it close to four o'clock he's like oh dude there's no power so i happen to memo enter, well memo just didn't he just forgot to charge him and uh and so rudy's like uh oh dude i think freddie that's a guy helping greg on this job site he's like oh dude i think freddie killed the power on a spider box and i said nah dude he doesn't kill the power lights and those spider.
Speaker 5 01:14:54
boxes never go out so no the power get killed by anybody i said that thing tripped or something and when you plugged it in you didn't check to see oh it's okay conscious it has three bars anyways i'm like great i'm not asking bars it has i asked him to charge the battery put his head down and it's like right so we have another guy saying like oh this is my fault this is pretty. The batteries, I'm like, oh, I forgot to plug it in this morning. Sorry. Fuck it. It just deflated.
Speaker 5 01:15:27
It's like, can you accept the fact that you weren't paying attention? You're distracted. You don't know how power and electricity works. So, yeah, it's all these little nuances, and it's just little things, and it's just like, what the fuck, guys? You know? So, I just have to show that last one. I'll give it to you. So, all right, dude. Dude, well, happy Friday.
Speaker 5 01:15:58
