To all my flooring friends! My wife always say “ you don’t even even know them people” kinda of feel like I do .

My 30 year old cotton head peeled back out of the frame the last time I used it. It’s been sitting in my garage for 2 almost years. I almost threw it out. Do you think this is fixable? I’m not sure what type of glue to try. Contact adhesive, C A glue ??

This may be the best tool ever! Milwaukee M18 Fuel plunge track saw… love it.

I had a job to do with LVP on stair treads. The customer wanted metal stair nose metal. I needed to cut 15 pieces of metal so I bought this aluminum/ non- ferrous metal blade. It worked great on the 90° cuts. The cuts were cleaner than the factory ends. I had one 45° miter. I placed the metal...

I wasn’t sure if I had posted this here before… but ,this comes in pretty handy when changing trailer tires. I haven’t carried my floor jack in my trailer for several years.

I made a new cabinet to store transitions, cove base , 1/4 round, and whatever

I put my Crain air lifter to good use today. I was extremely pleased on how well it worked to move this heavy stove.

I’m starting a job with 5” wide 3/4” solid Jatoba this week. I’ve done a lot of research on this material and the fastener of choice is a 18 gauge cleat. I’m good there because I have 2 Primatech 550 combo guns. I’m going to get a new finish nailer this weekend. I’m debating between a 15 and a...

Merry Christmas to my flooring friends. I don’t post a lot but I check in almost every day. Wishing everyone a profitable 2023

I got this little guy for Christmas last year. I used it for the first time the other day. It runs on a 12 volt battery. It sure beats dragging out a air compressor and hose. The hose threads onto the valve stem so you don’t have to hold it. You set it at the desired psi and it shuts off when...

I did a job recently. It was commercial level loop carpet in an L-shaped room. Most of the area is concrete and the shorter part of the L-shape is pressure-treated decking. There is a huge hot tub) and hat was empty at the time of installation in the area with the decking. I lose laid the long...

I brought my old I-13 Pro shear back from the dead. I used to store it on a shelf over the wheel well of my old trailer. I didn’t realize the wheel well had some holes it, and the tool took on moisture for who knows how long.It completely froze up on me . It took it apart today and cleaned it...

The other day while using one of my Duo fast tackers the trigger fell of the tool. I put the pieces back in the case and used my other gun to finish the job. Yesterday I put the broken one back together and it still would not work. It almost seems like something is missing. It’s not making...

I finally pulled the trigger on a air sled after 34 years of installing. This is an awesome tool. I used it today to move a washer and dryer. I moved them to one side of the room and installed 1/2 way across the room. The tool alowed me to get over and onto the 3/8” thick flooring without the...

I made a custom reducer to reduce from a marble threshold today.

I picked up my new trailer tonight. Put a floor in it . Going to start putting shelves in tomorrow. My last trailer lasted 11 years. If this one last that long I will be 66 years old. I love the electric jack. For 25 years I have had the hand crank, I’m not going to miss that.

I’m doing a hardwood/ tile job this week. The tile is square to the outside door. To make the hardwood straight in the room a had to taper the wood 3/16” in 4’. I can usually eyeball a fairly straight line with a table saw, but I needed very straight edge.

Not sure if I posted this here before but this tool came in handy this week. We had 260 yards of glue down rip up that was a bear to remove. This thing isn’t real fast but it definitely takes a lot of the bullwork out of it. Rips up 4 foot shots at a time.

I have never seen this stuff in my 34 years of floor installation. What is it?

I finally broke down and bought some , for my Milwaukee cases. The stuff is pretty cool they make them to fit Packout and DeWalt tough system cases (as well as others. ) Kaizen foam inserts for tool boxes and other cases My Son is real good at cutting this stuff. He has a bunch of tough system...
