@@landonallen7766 thanks for the comment.

@@Cx8195 you’re a moron!

@@jdewitt-pn9kr thank you for the amazing tip!! I never thought of that in 30 years in construction. Do you have any tips on use a nail gun?

@@Mueller3D I put one by fours underneath the countertop so it would be raised up high enough to cover the old paint lines. They had damaged in front of the cabinet with their saw cutting out the old sink so I had a piece of trim left over from another job that I put on the front in order to cover that up and make it look nice, and the customer was very satisfied and the house was able to be sold at a good price which was the customers goal. It is always harder to fix someone else’s screwup than to just do it right from the beginning.

Boomers at my university got the school to take the candy out of the vending machines and replace it w healthy snacks. They even campaigned against a major baby food company to get the sugar eliminated, and did. They created Earth Day to bring awareness of human responsibilities to care for the planet making important improvements in the general health and welfare of the population. They fought for and got the clean air and clean water acts, as well as the endangered species act. They started support groups together, creating a safe environment in wh to heal physiological wounds of childhood. Unaware of the harmful effects, many, if not most, smoked cigarettes. How bad the effects were on that generation is generally unknown considering the positive effects of healthy diets and physical activities. Gen X pushed to make smoking socially unacceptable and were highly successful in so doing.

Born different.

@@sunshineandwarmth millenials were the ones to take climate change seriously first. Not boomers. Try again

I get it. So, that's why Soviet women are hairy and look like men?

Dang

I was and then I found one in the mirror. 😎

So you know this company? I am not personally acquainted, although I did become intimately acquainted with their work ha ha. If you have any other stories about their work, please DM me and I will share them on this channel. I will keep you anonymous or give you credit your choice. If this really is a company doing bad work in the area I want to make them famous. This kind of thing brings the whole industry down.

Given how crooked the cuts were, I disagree. I guess a sawzall because of the depth of the cut. You can see it on the front of the cabinet. The blade was at least 4 inches probably longer. Also, like I said, it was very crooked not straight at all.

Yes $1,000

Check out my channel for the transformation

I wish I could do work like this for free. Unfortunately, I have bills too.

They did get taken for $1,000 sorry to say. I was glad that I was able to fix this for them.

Me too. Bad Contractors will put my kids through college. 😎

Haha 🤣 that’s funny. I can definitely agree. My favorite is the signs that say “painting and decks” or something like that. Never a good idea.

My first hammer was a 20 oz estwing. It’s a good all around hammer. Jack of all trades 😁

@@DestinyContractors Yah, I like mine. I can't break it, so that's a bonus. What type and brand of hammer are you using now? The Vaughn (spelling?) trim hammer you're showing in the video has a beefy handle. What are you working on these days? Not to light a fire under your butt, or anything like that, but I am interested in seeing how you transform the blue room. Just sayin'. 😀

@@tersta1 VAUGHAN is the 16 oz trim hammer. I also have a 25 oz wood handle Estwing. I know it sounds weird but it’s true. As for the blue room. I have a blue and orange room, a tan room, a yellow room, and an orange room to do as well. 🤢 the lady that lived there was an artist. She liked color.

@@DestinyContractors Well, if the wood handle Estwing works for you and you don't have a habit of breaking, burning or sawing them, why not? My steel Estwing has a lot of battle wounds, so I don't think I could trust myself with a wooden handle, tbh. Hmmmmm, hope you stay motivated and don't run into the red (accounting numbers) with all the primer you'll need for this project. I'm subbed, so I'll be checking in on yah, looking for new channel content. You might need one of those body-cam, forehead mounted, or mouth-held gopro cameras just to get your work done and keep your channel active. Shorts are probably the best option for exposure. You're good at putting videos together. 👍

@@tersta1 I do like doing the videos. I have thought about getting a go pro. Do think it would help?

Interesting. Were you getting little holes in the mud? Thats something I struggled with in till a painter gave me the trick to it.

@@DestinyContractors No, it wasn't pinholes or air bubbles in the mud. It was nail holes that puckered out. So, I used the back end of a screwdriver handle to push the puckers in, making dimples, about a half inch diameter and maybe 3/16th deep. I filled and sanded...they just kept showing up. It's like the wall has belly buttons! I think only I would notice them, because I put them their. One day I'll probable put an orbital sander on it and grind a perfectly flat wall! What's that trick you learned, hmmmm? I love those little tips that solve routine problems. Please do share your master wisdom? 🙏

I know! It’s bad isn’t it? Please watch the videos on the repair. It terms out great.

Hey come on, anyone that can work a tool should do better than that previous install wow.

@@justinstevenson2061 Yah, but a window installer makes a hole in the wall that is bigger than the window, puts shims in to level it out and then fills the gap with spray foam or insulation. It looks like the technique for installing a window was used to previously install that sink...big hole and lots of caulking to fill the gaps.

No it’s because I’m 4 ft tall. 🤣

@@DestinyContractors LOL! Yah and that's why you're ducking every time you pass through a doorway!

@@tersta1 hahahaha I don’t even know I was doing that. Had to watch the video again to see. I’m not that tall really 5’ 11” I guess it’s a bad habit from hitting my head on stuff because I’m clumsy. 😂

@@DestinyContractors LOL! Yep. I estimated your height. I know what ducking looks like, cos I do it a lot in the greenhouse and around garden trellises. I'm not even tall. It's just that I have a jungle outback to pass through and have hook my hair enough times to automatically avoid getting snagged.

@@tersta1 my dad was a gardener. He tried to teach me a thing or two. Not my thing. What do you grow?

Thank you for the kind comment. You wouldn’t believe the hate I got on this video. I had to delete most of the comments. I got someone trying to docs me and threatening my family because of it. That’s why I appreciate your comments so much. It’s actually really rare to get someone pleasant to talk to.

@@DestinyContractors Awwwww, you shouldn't have to go through that sort of BS. It's just work boots and you didn't say or do anything even remotely controversial. But you know, people these days are so frustrated that they just look for a dog to kick around and I guess they picked you while scrolling through shorts. All it takes is one to get the whole hornet nest of them buzzing with a snide comment and they'll all start trolling you. Yah, just delete their comments, if you don't have time to help them learn why antagonizing people just because they don't think or do the same things as you, isn't cool. I actually just finished up with a "discussion" with one of them yesterday. The video was about how 99% of young people aren't thinking for themselves these days and when they get riled up by influencers they just let the insults and attacks fly at the influencer's target. I called it tribalism and pointed to the ego boost and false sense of security these online warriors get from being part of the influencer's cult following. Well, some kid had to come along and say EVERYBODY HAS AN EGO, trying to justify the group-think and trolling. I said, YAH, EVERYBODY HAS A MOUTH, BUT WE DON'T ALL LIE AND EAT JUNK FOOD. GARBAGE IN -> GARBAGE OUT. Anyway, I kept it civil, but explained my POV, while the kid was making all kinds of false assumptions. I corrected him...including the comment he made that people like me, criticize people who act like they're always right, while I'm one of those people who acts like I'm always right, which is hypocritical. He tried a few times to peg me as a hypocrite. So, I explained, everyone has a unique POV and they could all be 100% right for themselves in their personal circumstances, but not necessarily right for EVERYBODY else, and that's why it's important to respect the opinions of others, even if you don't agree with them. That pretty much ended the discussion peacefully, but he was really trying hard to piss me off. He asked me why I talk like a bot. I said SELF-DISCIPLINE, EMOTIONAL MATURITY AND INDIFFERENCE, adding that what other people think and do isn't my business and what I think and do isn't theirs. You're right, it is rare to get pleasant people to talk to. Some people are too busy, some are too frazzled with illness and money-troubles to even think straight and others are just rabid with frustration, anxiety and depression to even act civil. Life is still good after 2020, but everybody know it could and should be better than it is. That goes for everybody in the world! We're all feeling the pinch and we're all on the same side, even if we do have different interests and priorities. Anyway, leave that lecture for the future vultures that might come to pick at you. I'll come rescue you. :)

@@tersta1 you’re cool. 😎 hope to hear more from you in the future. I hope you like the video I posted this morning.

@@DestinyContractors Yep, I'll be checking in to see what you're up to when you post new videos. And if you need me to handle any lippy trolls, just let me know. 🥾🥾🥾 New video? Is that the short about painting mistakes?

Plaster and lattice went out sometime in the 1940s. This house is somewhere in the mid 60s. The main thing that characterizes the 60s is the houses were still built with a lot of hand tools and very sturdy. Generally, we didn’t start seeing poor construction until the late 70s early 80s. Somewhere around the 1950s post World War II, the houses started to be built with less flush. Smaller trim, smaller rooms, more practical. If you’re looking for a good house that you don’t need to show off to all your friends this time period is perfect. 👍 To be honest with you, I have bad claustrophobia, and a fear of water. I keep that room shut and don’t go in there. Not looking forward to painting it.

@@DestinyContractors I bought a 60s brick and cinderblock house with metal lattice and plaster walls Wow! Was that ever a challenge to reno. I got cuts from the metal lattice and dislocated the bone at the base of my left-hand middle finger from trying to pound holes in hard plaster and was really covered in plaster dust while ripping out that bathroom down to the cinderblocks. There was no insulation. The one thing I remember most from that job was this story. I was feeling like having Italian for dinner that night. I was dirty-white with plaster. In my neighborhood the closes Italian restaurant was a mafioso business meeting place. Swank, expensive, but good food. So I walked up to the door, poked my head in, got the attention of the bar tender-server and waved him over and outside. He came out. The place is never busy and they only had the one guy doing all the work out front. I explained. I know I'm a mess, but I've been busy all day renovating a bathroom and I'm hungry for Italian. Can I come in, looking like this? He said wait. I'll go ask the boss. Two minutes later the boss comes out, opens the door, poke his head out to look at me. He was stone-faced and didn't say a word. He was gone in three seconds. I was sure it was a no-go. Then the bar tender-server came out right away, opened the door wide and said come in. He seated me right in line with the front door and close to the bar. A couple of suits, talking business on the other side of the restaurant were the only other people in there, but there were reserved table signs all over the place. Got my food and wine with 100% quality service and was almost ready to settle up the bill when the crowds started pouring in! Man!!! I was more concerned about being a hot mess than the bar tender-server seemed to be. But, in my way of thinking, if you're in business, my money's good, no matter what my business is and that mafia boss seemed to agree. LOL! Hmmmm, yah, I can see why you want to get the blue pool room painted, but are putting it off. I don't like deep water or tight spaces either and I procrastinate when I have to do taxes. I hate taxes, because I don't like government getting up in my business at all for any reason. Try putting on some yellow or pink shaded glasses while you work it that room. Or maybe you can put a filter on the ceiling light or get yellow or red light bulbs. Yellow will make you see green and pink will make you see purple. Green is woodsy, like the forest and purple is... go with the green! No need to feel like you're trapped inside a giant grape or artery while you're in there. LOL!

I knew when I posted this that someone would love this red. It’s not that the color is wrong. It’s that the color is too specific. This house will be put up for sale so it needs to be a blank slate for someone to put their own personal touches to. Thanks for watching

That’s funny! What I’m using in the video is an oil primer that’s the best way to kill off a color like that. Even so we are three coats in and it’s still bleeding through. 😂

@@DestinyContractors And the first pass of primer still looks pink. I'm estimating you needed 4 gallons of primer to hide that REDRUM room. Red is my favorite color, but it just looks better as a accent and not the overwhelming color you can't escape no matter where you look...or try to hide. Speaking of hide, I'm sure you covered the red eventually. Good job!

I suppose you're a "glass half full" kinda guy, right??? LOL!

@@tersta1 honestly, the shade of red that she chose was very beautiful. I don’t think it’s ever a good idea to paint the ceiling the same color as the walls no matter what the color is. When we’re done, the white on the walls will be a slightly different shade than the ceiling. Stay tuned I still have to paint the blue room. 😂 Thank you for your comment. I love hearing from my subscribers.

​@@DestinyContractors Yah, sure, it's a great color. I have Persian carpets with that shade in them and love the warmth it brings to rooms. It's just hard to cover when you want to repaint the room. My REDRUM comment was in reference to your The Shining reference...It's a REDROOM, right? :D

Don't feed the trolls! LOL! 👾🧛🐉
