Steven Triplett Jr. of Wood Floors West in Roseburg, Ore., says that one of his most memorable jobs was one where they saw more than they bargained for: "We show up for work at this guy's house. We knock at the door. The old man opens the door completely naked and says, 'Come on in,' turns around and walks back to his stove, cooking breakfast. I'm completely caught off guard and speechless. He looks up from his frying pan and says, 'What's the matter, son? You never seen an old man cooking eggs before?' We made him get dressed, and he wound up being the coolest old guy to work for, just half crazy. 'What's the matter, son? You've never seen an old man cooking eggs?' ... still makes me laugh!"
