this is my sunroom and this was the last room in the house that we had carpet in
and believe me it stunk so I got the carpet up took me more than to do that
and now I'm prepping the surface removing everything that can be removed
there's my tile we've had that forever it's just now that I'm just now getting
around to it and what I have here get this was at one time this was a carport
and this wall was added it that wall was the outside wall right there I didn't do
this and this was all cardboard and then they for some reason they moved the wall
out and added a little bit here and so I have this expansion joint that somebody
I'm you know I know who it was a guy that owned the house before me he put
this black guitar in here and over the course of us living here 16 years this
slab has sunk just a little bit and you could see through the carpet this gap
here so I'm tipping all this old stuff out of here and I'm gonna come back in
with some rubberized cement and you know goes go from about here to here and make
it nice and smooth and put my laminate floor over it and play it still stinks
in here and all it is is three dogs and a muddy
wet winter and you know every once in a while one of the dogs may have had an
accident in here and we've had the carpet steam clean like three or four
times and there's just no cleaning it up after this it's been here too many years
and have too many dogs in and out so that's what I'm doing now this is the
last little bit of prep work I've got to do is clean this out take a blow gun
blew everything out of that crack just so the cement will the rubberized cement
that I put in there we'll have some of this dick to sweep up real good and then
start laying
oh man it's gonna be a several several day job if I could
apparently this is what happens when you weenie with no pants on
I had shorts on that's acorn acorn bags oh yeah looking good
I'm still having it's the same day I haven't I think I'm just gonna get up in
the morning and at the crack of dawn you know like 9:00
okay I get up early I'm just gonna get up early go get this
and do that and by the time I work my way over with the tile that should be
dry enough to go over and if not I'll just let dry a little longer but it's
too late in the day and I'm kind of excited about getting some of this down
I wish I could use one other camera but I can't upload unless I record with the
phone so anyway I'm stuck with a phone otherwise that show you how easy this is
so easy a caveman can do it or or a cave woman okay I'm gonna do a few more and
take a shower
okay I've got to the point now I got a
village crack yeah
that's 19 foot long hope that's a goodness tougher anybody's wondering
what these numbers are that's the trim that I took off the code
base or not code base shoe molding and I numbered it because this room is not
square it took me forever to get these mitered that the corners miter to the
right miters there's no 22 and a half or 45 it's you know 50 degrees angle and 19
degree angle I mean it's just crazy I'd fire my carpenter but that's me so
anyway here's what I got I got three of these and say polymer based concrete
patch and I hope three of these is enough to fill that up I'm gonna mix it
up fill that crack smooth it out Oh give it a couple hours to dry and come back
and finish up and then I'm gonna let this sit overnight and tomorrow I'm
gonna come put my trim back on put the furniture back in and my wife will be
happy once again
I'm gonna give that a hour or two to dry and then I'm gonna come back with a real
thin coat because this will shrink so I'll come back with a thin coat let that
dry and then continue on with the top I
got just enough that was two boxes all that I got one box left and that'll be
enough to do a real thin coat across the entire length
well while I was away inspecting my eyelids for light leaks
was dried up pretty good and it doesn't appear to have shrunk much there are a
couple of little divots um on the world fill in
let it dry a little bit more and go back to put my paw down
see how red they are and that is even with wearing kneepads my god
I'm not cut out for putting floors in I'm getting there I don't know if I'm
gonna finish tonight if not I only got about Oh probably 45 more minutes of
work and you know what nobody's paying me I just might knock
off early you coming back what you did was bad you got in the garbage bad don't
do that again I had to clean that mess up okay come here
I can't be mad at you all right we're getting there tomorrow more don't finish
this up get my friend back on moving furniture in drink some coffee watching
TV I just want to show you how unsquare this house is the whole house is like
this here's a gap here
down there it's nearly a full-piece wide and down here it's probably inch in
three days this brick wall here this brick column is 28 bricks high and that
brick calling down there is 27 bricks high and if you look this this whole
slab takes a real deep pitch right here I don't know if you can see the
difference here
probably not I probably at the back way up but this end down here is probably an
inch lower than the rest of the slab I
just you know I bought this house it had been burned and it was pretty used in
pretty bad shape so I basically had to rebuild this whole Palace and nothing
not a single wall of square and I got a little mad at the guy the guy who owned
it moved two houses down and I mentioned it to him about nothing was square and
you know everything broke when we moved in there conditioner broke water he who
broke the tub broke I mean it just was never-ending every day I had to fix
something and you know we just bought the house and we used all our money to
put down on it and I so I had to save for an air conditioner and save for a
water heater and save for a whole new tub because the bottom broke got it and
he what he had done had a crack in it and he had gotten underneath there
through the trap and shoved a 2x4 up underneath it back
I had to crack he was a shyster but anyway I got this house for 70 grand and
with with the five acres and it's probably worth double that now
here in Louisiana houses aren't very high so it is what it is
but I've just shown you how unsquare this book every time I work on this
house I have to plan for no nothing being square you can't count on anything
even doors aren't square you know I'll have to whittle on a door to make it fit
the doorframe or take the whole door frame out square it up but anyway I'll
be done here in a minute and then I'll be working on the trim I went ahead went
ahead and finished it up in the morning I'll put the trim back on and then put
the furniture in happy wife happy life
thanks for watching
