Oh, be careful Mr. Painter...we will prove you wrong.
I just got the floor done and the trim painter said he was not beating up the floor...one photo is worth a thousand beat-downs, LOL.
I went back to this job to install the transitions and found a bunch of scratches like these:
I got them all fixed and have a happy homeowner.
On this same job I installed the back splash, and I cannot believe how the layout worked out.
The outlets and switch box were just perfect for the tile size, so there were no hard cuts or need to split tile. They like the back splash a bunch. The tiles were all different colors and she wanted it mixed up as much as can be, so I pulled tile from each box just to make sure it was a mix-and-match kind of thing. I got it done in about four hours, but I did not start until 6 p.m., so it was a late night. They were going to be gone at softball games and I wanted to get it done...it just worked out for both of us.
I started a new job today with Clifford. This lady is a hoarder with a capital "H." We saw papers from 1970 and dust about ½-inch thick. The dogs' pee is so nasty that I could not even take a photo, the smell was nasty x 2-we had to open windows. We got the job because we are willing to work room-to-room and help move stuff. Step one was remove the carpet, two pull the pressboard, three install new plywood. We are doing the master bedroom, hall and front room first; that way we can square up the front room, run down the hall and hit the master bedroom. We are keeping it straight so we can tie in the extra bedrooms, with only one header at the end of the hall. This is the only way we can move forward and keep the flooring square to the house. The lady is trying to improve her life and she is taking stuff to the trash, giving stuff away and doing it all with a desire to make new strides in life; a sweet widow woman.
Well back to the job in the morning...pee carpet and pressboard, here we come!
