Sunuva!
I ruined a floor today.
I should not bid floor jobs. I am not a floor guy. ![]() I bid to refinish a small kitchen floor as part of a kitchen repaint. Long story short: I happen to know a floor guy, $250.00 and 2 hours later I am back in business. He returned the floor to stain grade. Thank goodness he was close to my gory "crime scene" and in between jobs today when I called. Will, you saved my fooking arse!!!1!!!1!!!111!

Re: Sunuva!
That's great that you were saved on it. Why did it get screwed up? What did you do to it?

Re: Sunuva!Quote:
I got all cocky about my mad crazy skillz' and then sucked real bad in front of the HO and my floor guy buddy. nuthin' much. I took a floor down to the raw wood but I was an 1/16" short of clearing the original stain. I didn't buff properly, I didn't pop the grain to receive the darker stain, and I am a painter not a floor guy. I will eat the cost as well as re~applying the stain/clear coat...again. I have always believed that there is no better way to learn than to make mistakes. Hopefully those mistakes aren't too expensive.

Re: Sunuva!
I posted on here a month ago about my floor job in a restaraunt we did. It came out half ass but they accepted it..I said exactly what you said, I'm a painter, not a floor man. They're two totally distinct areas, it's why I see vans advertising floor man and not painter. I'm sure if I was taught properly, I'd have no problem but I no next to nothing about floors.

Re: Sunuva!I prefer to do real work that makes a notable difference in the lives of my customers. Re~arranging powder rooms does not fit that bill.
