World's Most Enthusiastic Installer

Skip to 2:17 to see the man in action.

At first, I was sure he was joking. Personally, I would not mind having this level of energy. While his techniques are not commonplace, I have no doubt that this guy stays busy, getting jobs when others do not.

I think its fun to watch someone doing the job I do, but in a completely different mindset. Good job, George.

Re: World's Most Enthusiastic Installer

2 thoughts, first I wouldn't have the stamina for that. I have to reserve my energy for actually working. Secondly I'm pretty sure I'd bust something besides a move.

Good show, hats off to him.

Good Luck
Dave

Re: World's Most Enthusiastic Installer

I'm thinking that this dude is cross training.

Getting his work out for the fights and earning his living at the same time.

"You tell him he hasn't tapped his seems tight"

"No you tell him"

"I'm not telling him you tell him"

"What do you think about the floor?"

"Love it" "Love it"

Re: World's Most Enthusiastic Installer

Intresting.

But wouldn't it be easier to just move the pile of new stock closer to the end of the flooring you are installing at?

I understand the inclination to figure drugs into the equation. However, look closer; There is actual work being done. Plus, he is very fit. I just can not believe he could be a tweaker, despite the headlamp.

I am guessing that his 'best work' is done when noone else is on the job.

Re: World's Most Enthusiastic Installer

That's also a great method for getting that worn in look that is so popular without having to pay the big bucks or waiting forever for it to naturally happen.

I wonder how long he keeps that up during the day?

Real funny till someone loses an eye (or a finger)

If some of the uptight homeowners I work for saw me doing some of that stuff ,I think I may have been escorted off the site by a cop

Funny stuff tho, love the speed vct tear up

Re: World's Most Enthusiastic Installer

From 5:39 and on is my favorite part. This guy truly loves what he does. When you find someone passionate about their work, you find someone that is really good at their work typically. They enjoy their work and have a great positive vibe about them. I would hire this guy in a minute. What a great online resume!!
