Speaker 1 (00:00):
What starts as a simple trip to the hardware store
can quickly turn into a full blown test of patients,
teamwork and power tools.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Does that sound familiar? We'll talk about right after.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
This, Danny, It's the Neighbors podcast, will be some Mike
the becausing different issues that affect that treating like that.
It's the neighbors who wait the neighbors.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Yeah, what's happening? Top of the morning? Top of the morning.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
So y'all heard the question, doesn't sound familiar. Now here's
the additional question today. Have you ever started a d
I project think it will only take a weekend and
in turn of a month long saka?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
How many of you can relate to that? I know,
I can.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
I wish I could. I wish I could see me
raise my head.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Indeed, and so most recently for me, was trying to
fix the bathroom sink in my basement and.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I had to.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Take the sink off the wall because one of them
thinks that installed to the wall, and I wanted to
change the I needed to change the falster because one
the falter didn't work, and then number two, the elbow
was leaking, it was rusting out, and so it took
me a long time trying to figure out how to
(01:34):
one get the stupid sink off the wall. And then
number two, the pipes that were coming out of the
wall were a.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Whole heck of a lot shorter than I anticipated.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
And then and then the drain pipe where the elbow
was at was all one piece, so I even had
to cut that.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
So me and the reciprocating saw were best friends. You know.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
I used almost every tool that I had in my
house to try to get that whole stupid sink off.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
And so.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Even to a point Mike that we recruit I had
recruited one of our own name, one of our other neighbors, Torone.
So so yeah, so that was my experience. That took
what I thought was gonna be, hey, a quick ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
And on top of that, I had bought a whole
new sink. I'm thinking like, hey, I'm buying a sink
with a cabin and everything else. Oh yeah, that's right, right,
and give it remember, and then guess what. The sink
was too big, Like I couldn't even get it to
fit into the into the bathroom myself.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
That's it, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
So yeah, so that was that was That's that was
my saga of an event that I thought was gonna
take a little bit time. How about yourself.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Let's see here, what listen, I should go down how
many times you go home depot at all? Right and
put this in my car? Oh I can use that.
I'm gonna check this out. Uh crazy part and you
go to a home depot. You don't get the stuff
you put on your car in your car right right?
Speaker 5 (03:20):
Projects? Man, oh my goodness.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
You know, let me say that sometimes being a homeowner
sucks because it's like, okay, that hype in the beginning.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
That hype. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm a homeowner. Yeah yeah
after five years?
Speaker 6 (03:38):
Man?
Speaker 4 (03:38):
What the the what the hell I was thinking about?
But when you're doing project is like you try to Okay,
I'm gonna do this first because it's the easiest them
do this.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
But the thing is you don't do the one that's
the easiest.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Yeah, and I got quite a few just I need
to start it, but I ain't even finished eve simple
thing like painting the front door, painting over the injury way,
it's it's it's it's it's.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Like, damn, I want to do this.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I know for me, I have some projects. That's kind
of lingering right now. I had started to do something
over the weekend, but you know, I'm like, uh, it
could wit another weekend.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
That's the right, that's the problem. That's the problem, like
this like them. So the solar lights I had.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Right too much just to come on, man, this don't
make no sense, you know, I gotta I gotta paint
our archerway around my doorway between my kitchen and my
my dining room. I replaced the wood first of all.
It took me probably about three what weeks because I
(04:56):
took the old wood off and then put new wood up. Uh,
but it has a crazy arch and I couldn't figure
out how to really fix it, you know. And so
then I went to home deep I found these flexible
plastic edges. I could get the edges right. So then
I found some uh flexible plastic edges. I'm like, oh,
I like bet like that that will work. So I
(05:18):
got that. Then I plastered it and whatever else, and
then come to find out I needed to replace some
of the wood. Uh what's that thing called baseboard type stuff?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
You know?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
And so I did that. So now it's just sitting there.
But before I finish it off. I want to calk
it and you know, really finish it.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I have the cock sitting here. So you said by
next year.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah maybe, I know, right, it would get done eventually, eventually.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
And I think what was was.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Right, like right before we got on the microphone, we
talk about family stuff, right, stuff that you don't anticipate
coming up.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Yeah, but it comes in play, right.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Yeah, you know, And so now you're like, all right,
well do I feel like doing this? Do I not
feel like doing it? And I think that's one of
the things that keeps happening to me. I have these
pop up moments. Yeah, yeah, I mean even like today,
you know, we're you know, we're talking to you all today,
but I gotta make a home depot run today. I
(06:27):
gotta go get some keys copied. So actually I probably
won't go to home deep. I probably go to the
key store to do that though now I think about it, Yeah, yeah,
now I think about it. But and then after that,
which I again didn't anticipate, because I have this leak
in my rear driver's side tire. Tire recordsposed to come
(06:49):
out today and fix the tire. Oh, get out of here.
So so yeah, so so, But what made the basement right?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Right? Man?
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Something?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
So so, as we're talking about these home improvement adventures
or these projects, sometimes it takes longer because.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Of life stuff.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
Yeah, yeah, life stuff. Do you feel like doing it right?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (07:15):
Do you feel like doing it? Uh? Life stuff? Do
they feel like doing it right?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Right? Right? Right? Right? You know?
Speaker 1 (07:25):
And sometimes you just want to take a break, a breather, right,
you know, and like is it really necessary? Is it
going to change my life if I fixed it right
this moment?
Speaker 4 (07:36):
But you know what, sometimes you gotta play. You gotta
be guilty for certain things, especially with me. Now, let
me tell you. If something go wrong my receiver, a
home feitter system, I'm back there like a crazy mug.
But if I understand to put a nail up on
the wall, put up a picture.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Like yeah, yeah, I'm not yeah right now, I'm just
kind of in a because I'm my focus is somewhere else,
you get what I mean. Like home improvement stuff is
so far in the back burning for me right now.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Anything. I mean, yes, it's on my mind.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
But like we talked the other day about changing out
the basement window, right, you get what I mean?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Like that's not. You know, I should be concerned about
but I'm not.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
We ain't gonna talk about that.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
But since he broke it up again, man fixed that window,
we'll see here's one twenty two now damn yeah, yeah,
fifteen years ago.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
You get what I'm saying, you know. So so it's like,
you know, what do you what do you want to
put your energy towards?
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Yeah, but now you're gonna have to put your energy
towards him because like the price of thing, the prices
people charging, the you know, the repair to come and
do things, it's.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Ridiculous, right.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
You know, we talked about that before.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
You know, like you said, with your your patio and
your back drive right right, they thirty to twenty to
thirty thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Yeah, yeah's down on the house.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Yeah, I got it. So so.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
The quote I was given recently, what's thirty to fifty.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Or quotes quote?
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Yeah, you know, But and here's the thing, y'all, y'all
would think like hearing that number, y'all would think that
I have such a huge patio and I don't.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
You would think I have a huge driveway, right and
I don't.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
That's crazy, you.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Know, So I don't know. Is it price gouging?
Speaker 1 (09:32):
And because the two people I get you know, I
got the numbers from is it they just try and
give me a range what is it? And that's not
including whatever the cost is for the permit itself.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Right, that's the crazy part.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
But the thing is, I think what they don't play
the you know, oh well they lot of people using
the contractors. Now they're using the tears as they gouge,
right right, and but you know.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
It's gonna go up blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Okay, well if it ain't go up yet, don't give
me the terror price yet. Yeah right, no, but they're
using that and it's like but damn, my moms will
wait yeah right, because that's that that price that's ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
M h. I mean you do like what thirty to
fifty thousand per se cool, that's a car.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Look, that's a whole lot.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
That's a whole lot. I'm not gonna man, please I
get some crazy glue.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Man.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Listen, I mean, look, look in all reality, like you said,
it could be a downpaper on the house, it could
be a car. But for some people out there, like
listen to to some cousins or whatever else. If I'm
gonna put out that money, might as well help them
with their electric bill or water or something like that,
because they because they're struggling, like.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Right, you get what I mean?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Like, like, so I do I give it to them
where they're where people could really really use it?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Right?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
You know, It's not like I got fifty thousand in
the bank nowhere, right, So when so what am I
goingout to do?
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Like the average person?
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Right, go get a loan if I can get approved, right,
you know, uh, borrow it from other people?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Right, you get what I mean? You know? And so
how much debt do you really want to get into exactly?
Speaker 4 (11:16):
But like you know, like with you your joy because
it's up on a hill that ain't going you know,
but the majority of that money be honestly going towards
the cement trucks, right right, you know, because that's a
lot of human right you know.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
And so I mean I'm on the hill and.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
It's just everything because everything is settling down, so everything
is sinking pretty much.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
So basically on the side of you joint got to
be the build a side first, get at our builder side,
the filling with a certain type of sin yep, he
put the grapes down, then the greats down, then do
the cement. Then you gotta cast somebody finished to come
out with.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
So yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
So so that's why he's just like, you can do
one of two things. He's like, you can pay them
money or you can leave it for the next person, right,
you know, because how much money do you really want
to put into this house?
Speaker 2 (12:19):
In all reality? Like is it worth it?
Speaker 4 (12:21):
I'm on the same channel because like you said, you know,
you sell, you're not gonna get that money back. I mean,
well not all of it, because you know it's a
seller's market now. And once again, these prices in each
house is like, y wow, really he shold it for
that much. But the thing is, uh, you tell where
(12:42):
you gonna move to, because you're gonna go through the
same thing.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I mean, and see, I think that the issue is
because of what my what my dream house would look like.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I'm probably won't even have a patio to begin with.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
If I went to my dream house right right, you know,
because I would have a nice size deck and you
know whatever, like it would be a.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Whole nother basically just basically walk with you. Now, if
I had.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
My wife, you know, her thoughts like, let's just go
to a condo. We ain't got worry about that at all. Yeah,
but the condo, I mean, listen, man, some of that
stuff when you and I agree with that the condo
fee is kind of high. But you know, I don't know,
I mean, I mean, we we had we have a
(13:36):
this lady that we call our mentor, and she has
a condo right off of Sea Lion Avenue and her
and Sea Lion Avenue, y'all, we were in Philly, so
you know, off of Sea Lion Avenue. And when we
look outside her condo out the windows, she gets to
see the whole city of Philadelphia at night.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
That is such a beautiful, beautiful sight. So when you
when you have.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Views like that, and you know, and she talked about
how she and her husband sit there in the morning
sometimes and just drink their coffee, right, you.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Know, or.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Uh, you know, the the thoughts of looking at because
she also says that they get to see the fireworks
when they're.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Firing off at the Art Museum.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Oh yeah, right, you know, so so so it's almost
like they have a front row seat to some of
those events or some of those situations right, you know.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
So it's like, yeah, I can see myself doing it, right.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
I Mean that's like with me, we talk about you know, decks.
I don't want no deck looking at no back of
nobody house. But give me some mountains, give me some
trees far or something like that. I'd rather deal see
with mother nature than.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
So. And I agree, I agree, but I'll give you
my my my So. One of my wife's cousins, he
lives in the Poconos, and.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
The family had gone up there in the Poconos and
visited him, like everybody, everybody was up there, and so
so we stayed tonight.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
We were you know, we were fortunate that we you know,
we had to stay the night.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
But our kids were little, real little, And so I
woke up to smell of bacon everybody you know they
cook in and everything else.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Right, So.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I look out back, I'm like, Yo, cous is that
a bear? The bear was in the trash can. He's like,
oh yeah, I forgot what he named the bear. He's like,
oh yeah, that's just whoever, right, Like, because all this
stuff we ate last night, he's eating it this morning.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
So so is that what you want? You want to
be able to look at the bear. Cool bears be
coming down this way. So what's the difference. Yeah, I
guess so they just caught one in Jersey.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I guess so.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
But yeah, I just you know, dude, I'm like, I'm
kind of like, no, I don't. I don't know if
I'm gonna be that. I could deal with deer. Look,
I could deal with this because we see them all
the time. But you know, see I didn't. I didn't
know the bear was that closed, so I wouldn't have
been by that back gate the night before. And then
(16:27):
he was like, yeah, we're gonna party again tonight. Okay,
I'll be I'll be sitting in my car or something
like that.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
I don't great. This is the the scenery, man, Just no.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
But I agree with you though. I mean I look
at that on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I look at people who are building houses and like
you said, in the mountains, and I mean this, yeah,
don't don't. The only other thing I would have concerned about,
besides some wildlife being mountain lions or you know, chickens,
I don't know. But but the other thing is, like
I did see one person, one YouTuber they had to
(17:05):
deal with a brushfires, right, you know, and so that's
one thing that I'm like, you know, that's not easy
to control. Listen to them, that's like control once again.
We get them down this way, yeah, nowhere near where
they were though. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Yeah, but you know they just recently had what a
couple of near Philly and down in Philly, we do,
they had them in Jersey.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
It's like.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Things is changing, yeah, you know, yeah, I mean that
would be one heck of a weekend project trying to
put out a brush fire. Oh no, let them let
the professional.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
You know, with these projects. Man, it's like now we
got these days the way stuff is how much they charge,
and it makes you want to learn how to do
the stuff yourself, right right, And I think that's where
we're at the point where we're at now.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
I mean, between me, you and tre Wrong we got
enough tools. We got enough.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
We got enough too to make our own show two
times the neighbors tool time.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Listen, man, you know.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
We just.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
And and and that's and that's sometimes that's funny, like
when we talk about it of how many tools we
actually have between the three of us.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah exactly, that's crazy. Yeah, I mean
we if we really wanted to start our own business,
we could.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
We could, we could.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Now the question is what we want to do that
all the time for me of being no, but.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
But we could though, well would you? You got more
a lot more going on than me. I mean, I
don't know if I want to.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
I don't know if I want to be in that
build it mode every single day.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I can do it.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
I mean, we can do it, but you safely than
somebody with some bill.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Yeah can y'all. Beth To said, well, yeah, cost your
little feed, but right, we can do it. Yeah, just
like we'll submit, I mean laying I submit. I mean
that it's easy, but you gotta know the steps of
doing it right right now, you got dig down four
inches six to four inches per se, depending on the
(19:25):
thickness of your sidewalk whatever.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
Then saying type of saying like I said, type of saying.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
Then you get the grates, put down, the grates down there,
the wire rates down. Then you're feeling them with cemen.
You measure it. Everything gotta be measured. Everything gotta be
even measured. And that's it.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Yeah, I mean I watched people, do you know again,
I'm a YouTube person, So you know, I look at
them do dry poors, what do they put the where
he put the bag down? The water it, you know
in place, right, I looked at them and taking it
and actually mixing it. I mean I had even looked
at a mixing bucket at Harbor Freight. It wasn't even
(20:08):
that much money, you know, and you know so I mean,
in all reality, could I do it? I probably could?
Like I said, sometimes like do I really want to
do it? That's my challenge.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
That's my challenge as well.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
That's my challenge. I mean because like right now, I
mean even just talking about it right now makes mean
like all right, Maurice, just go outside, just look if
nothing else, just go to go to home deeper and
get the pre mixed concrete for some of the stuff
that I gotta get done.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
You get what I mean?
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Could I just do that just to at least make
it look nice, right, you know, so filling some of
these cracks and whatever else I need to do just
so it just doesn't.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Look as bad. I could probably.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
I mean you know what sometimes we get did I know,
I go through that times that lazy channel come on.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
And I'm like, oh man.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Yeah, well yeah, we'll Shoot, I'm relaxed. Now I can wait. Yeah,
I wait to the more, I wait to the weekend.
I do it next week, I wait the next month.
Yeah oh damn, but yeah went by already.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Ye yep.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
It's like it gets like that. But you know, like
you said, you get the estimates. Oh well I can
do this for like hell no.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Yeah, And that's the I mean, And don't get me wrong, y'all,
Like I prefer in all honestly, I prefer the professionals
to do it right, in all honesty, but because of
cost and whatever.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
And then here's the other thing too. Uh. I was
taught that a man should be able to fix stuff.
That was what I was taught like wise, right, right.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
You know, And so there's some things where I at
least want to say I tried it, right, I mean,
I've succeeded at one hundred, but at least I tried it.
And just for like we're talking about right here, about
this concrete stuff, I mean, half of it is what
just getting self leveling, that's right, you know.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Get the right you know, get the right saying the
right gravel.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Uh, especially what a certain time was Yeah, basically is
rid of the right gravel, you know, stones and all that.
But it's just in place. You just got to know
the place to go. I mean, I know a couple
of places you can go. I know that you don't
know now, right because you know I was doing. Yeah,
it's it's it's just like you want to you know,
(22:52):
like you said, you do loser. Let the professionals do it.
But also you know how much material us all about
the material. But it's the point is you can let's
just say we can do it, but just don't really want.
Speaker 5 (23:07):
To do it. Yeah, I mean, but yeah, I mean,
my my thing is with homie, prove my own. I
got one problem. It's you.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
I can't measure to save a damn lie anything that
three games. I don't know that. That's my issue, you know,
I mean I can. I mean, I'm getting a lot
I can measure. My problem is cutting it.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
And what I mean by that is is that I'll
see the line and I always cut right on the line,
which actually makes it shorter.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
So you got cut before the line? Yeah yeah, I
always thought you cut on the line.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yeah, I mean, well that's just been my issue. I'll
cut right on the line, coming like yo, I'll do this,
and then it'll be just a hair a hair short
maybe because of the thick of the thickness of the blade.
It might be it might be right. So I'm not
always considering that got you you know, oh yeah, because
if you cut before the line, yeah, cut at the line,
(24:10):
yeah right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Right, that dude.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
See, that's another dude played in the fact. You gotta
get the right blades to cut, you.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Get you know.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
So, so that's why these weekend projects feel like they
take three months. Right, that's true, you know, because we
don't as as amateurs, we don't have we don't take
in consideration all these things, right right, we know about them,
we know about them, right, but it don't come to mind
when we're doing it.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Right.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Sometimes you cut, oh man, cut too much. I'm like,
all right, well, let me get something to shave it down.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
So right.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Well, yeah, so you know how many are y'all out
there are in a similar boat?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:57):
How many y'all You know think y'all nailed the situation,

can quickly turn into a full blown test of patients,
teamwork and power tools.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Does that sound familiar? We'll talk about right after.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
This, Danny, It's the Neighbors podcast, will be some Mike
the becausing different issues that affect that treating like that.
It's the neighbors who wait the neighbors.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Yeah, what's happening? Top of the morning? Top of the morning.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
So y'all heard the question, doesn't sound familiar. Now here's
the additional question today. Have you ever started a d
I project think it will only take a weekend and
in turn of a month long saka?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
How many of you can relate to that? I know,
I can.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
I wish I could. I wish I could see me
raise my head.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Indeed, and so most recently for me, was trying to
fix the bathroom sink in my basement and.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I had to.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Take the sink off the wall because one of them
thinks that installed to the wall, and I wanted to
change the I needed to change the falster because one
the falter didn't work, and then number two, the elbow
was leaking, it was rusting out, and so it took
me a long time trying to figure out how to
(01:34):
one get the stupid sink off the wall. And then
number two, the pipes that were coming out of the
wall were a.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Whole heck of a lot shorter than I anticipated.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
And then and then the drain pipe where the elbow
was at was all one piece, so I even had
to cut that.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
So me and the reciprocating saw were best friends. You know.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
I used almost every tool that I had in my
house to try to get that whole stupid sink off.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
And so.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Even to a point Mike that we recruit I had
recruited one of our own name, one of our other neighbors, Torone.
So so yeah, so that was my experience. That took
what I thought was gonna be, hey, a quick ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
And on top of that, I had bought a whole
new sink. I'm thinking like, hey, I'm buying a sink
with a cabin and everything else. Oh yeah, that's right, right,
and give it remember, and then guess what. The sink
was too big, Like I couldn't even get it to
fit into the into the bathroom myself.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
That's it, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
So yeah, so that was that was That's that was
my saga of an event that I thought was gonna
take a little bit time. How about yourself.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Let's see here, what listen, I should go down how
many times you go home depot at all? Right and
put this in my car? Oh I can use that.
I'm gonna check this out. Uh crazy part and you
go to a home depot. You don't get the stuff
you put on your car in your car right right?
Speaker 5 (03:20):
Projects? Man, oh my goodness.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
You know, let me say that sometimes being a homeowner
sucks because it's like, okay, that hype in the beginning.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
That hype. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm a homeowner. Yeah yeah
after five years?
Speaker 6 (03:38):
Man?
Speaker 4 (03:38):
What the the what the hell I was thinking about?
But when you're doing project is like you try to Okay,
I'm gonna do this first because it's the easiest them
do this.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
But the thing is you don't do the one that's
the easiest.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Yeah, and I got quite a few just I need
to start it, but I ain't even finished eve simple
thing like painting the front door, painting over the injury way,
it's it's it's it's it's.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Like, damn, I want to do this.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I know for me, I have some projects. That's kind
of lingering right now. I had started to do something
over the weekend, but you know, I'm like, uh, it
could wit another weekend.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
That's the right, that's the problem. That's the problem, like
this like them. So the solar lights I had.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Right too much just to come on, man, this don't
make no sense, you know, I gotta I gotta paint
our archerway around my doorway between my kitchen and my
my dining room. I replaced the wood first of all.
It took me probably about three what weeks because I
(04:56):
took the old wood off and then put new wood up. Uh,
but it has a crazy arch and I couldn't figure
out how to really fix it, you know. And so
then I went to home deep I found these flexible
plastic edges. I could get the edges right. So then
I found some uh flexible plastic edges. I'm like, oh,
I like bet like that that will work. So I
(05:18):
got that. Then I plastered it and whatever else, and
then come to find out I needed to replace some
of the wood. Uh what's that thing called baseboard type stuff?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
You know?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
And so I did that. So now it's just sitting there.
But before I finish it off. I want to calk
it and you know, really finish it.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I have the cock sitting here. So you said by
next year.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah maybe, I know, right, it would get done eventually, eventually.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
And I think what was was.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Right, like right before we got on the microphone, we
talk about family stuff, right, stuff that you don't anticipate
coming up.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Yeah, but it comes in play, right.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Yeah, you know, And so now you're like, all right,
well do I feel like doing this? Do I not
feel like doing it? And I think that's one of
the things that keeps happening to me. I have these
pop up moments. Yeah, yeah, I mean even like today,
you know, we're you know, we're talking to you all today,
but I gotta make a home depot run today. I
(06:27):
gotta go get some keys copied. So actually I probably
won't go to home deep. I probably go to the
key store to do that though now I think about it, Yeah, yeah,
now I think about it. But and then after that,
which I again didn't anticipate, because I have this leak
in my rear driver's side tire. Tire recordsposed to come
(06:49):
out today and fix the tire. Oh, get out of here.
So so yeah, so so, But what made the basement right?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Right? Man?
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Something?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
So so, as we're talking about these home improvement adventures
or these projects, sometimes it takes longer because.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Of life stuff.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
Yeah, yeah, life stuff. Do you feel like doing it right?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (07:15):
Do you feel like doing it? Uh? Life stuff? Do
they feel like doing it right?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Right? Right? Right? Right? You know?
Speaker 1 (07:25):
And sometimes you just want to take a break, a breather, right,
you know, and like is it really necessary? Is it
going to change my life if I fixed it right
this moment?
Speaker 4 (07:36):
But you know what, sometimes you gotta play. You gotta
be guilty for certain things, especially with me. Now, let
me tell you. If something go wrong my receiver, a
home feitter system, I'm back there like a crazy mug.
But if I understand to put a nail up on
the wall, put up a picture.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Like yeah, yeah, I'm not yeah right now, I'm just
kind of in a because I'm my focus is somewhere else,
you get what I mean. Like home improvement stuff is
so far in the back burning for me right now.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Anything. I mean, yes, it's on my mind.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
But like we talked the other day about changing out
the basement window, right, you get what I mean?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Like that's not. You know, I should be concerned about
but I'm not.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
We ain't gonna talk about that.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
But since he broke it up again, man fixed that window,
we'll see here's one twenty two now damn yeah, yeah,
fifteen years ago.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
You get what I'm saying, you know. So so it's like,
you know, what do you what do you want to
put your energy towards?
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Yeah, but now you're gonna have to put your energy
towards him because like the price of thing, the prices
people charging, the you know, the repair to come and
do things, it's.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Ridiculous, right.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
You know, we talked about that before.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
You know, like you said, with your your patio and
your back drive right right, they thirty to twenty to
thirty thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Yeah, yeah's down on the house.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Yeah, I got it. So so.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
The quote I was given recently, what's thirty to fifty.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Or quotes quote?
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Yeah, you know, But and here's the thing, y'all, y'all
would think like hearing that number, y'all would think that
I have such a huge patio and I don't.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
You would think I have a huge driveway, right and
I don't.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
That's crazy, you.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Know, So I don't know. Is it price gouging?
Speaker 1 (09:32):
And because the two people I get you know, I
got the numbers from is it they just try and
give me a range what is it? And that's not
including whatever the cost is for the permit itself.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Right, that's the crazy part.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
But the thing is, I think what they don't play
the you know, oh well they lot of people using
the contractors. Now they're using the tears as they gouge,
right right, and but you know.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
It's gonna go up blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Okay, well if it ain't go up yet, don't give
me the terror price yet. Yeah right, no, but they're
using that and it's like but damn, my moms will
wait yeah right, because that's that that price that's ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
M h. I mean you do like what thirty to
fifty thousand per se cool, that's a car.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Look, that's a whole lot.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
That's a whole lot. I'm not gonna man, please I
get some crazy glue.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Man.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Listen, I mean, look, look in all reality, like you said,
it could be a downpaper on the house, it could
be a car. But for some people out there, like
listen to to some cousins or whatever else. If I'm
gonna put out that money, might as well help them
with their electric bill or water or something like that,
because they because they're struggling, like.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Right, you get what I mean?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Like, like, so I do I give it to them
where they're where people could really really use it?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Right?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
You know, It's not like I got fifty thousand in
the bank nowhere, right, So when so what am I
goingout to do?
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Like the average person?
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Right, go get a loan if I can get approved, right,
you know, uh, borrow it from other people?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Right, you get what I mean? You know? And so
how much debt do you really want to get into exactly?
Speaker 4 (11:16):
But like you know, like with you your joy because
it's up on a hill that ain't going you know,
but the majority of that money be honestly going towards
the cement trucks, right right, you know, because that's a
lot of human right you know.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
And so I mean I'm on the hill and.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
It's just everything because everything is settling down, so everything
is sinking pretty much.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
So basically on the side of you joint got to
be the build a side first, get at our builder side,
the filling with a certain type of sin yep, he
put the grapes down, then the greats down, then do
the cement. Then you gotta cast somebody finished to come
out with.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
So yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
So so that's why he's just like, you can do
one of two things. He's like, you can pay them
money or you can leave it for the next person, right,
you know, because how much money do you really want
to put into this house?
Speaker 2 (12:19):
In all reality? Like is it worth it?
Speaker 4 (12:21):
I'm on the same channel because like you said, you know,
you sell, you're not gonna get that money back. I mean,
well not all of it, because you know it's a
seller's market now. And once again, these prices in each
house is like, y wow, really he shold it for
that much. But the thing is, uh, you tell where
(12:42):
you gonna move to, because you're gonna go through the
same thing.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I mean, and see, I think that the issue is
because of what my what my dream house would look like.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I'm probably won't even have a patio to begin with.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
If I went to my dream house right right, you know,
because I would have a nice size deck and you
know whatever, like it would be a.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Whole nother basically just basically walk with you. Now, if
I had.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
My wife, you know, her thoughts like, let's just go
to a condo. We ain't got worry about that at all. Yeah,
but the condo, I mean, listen, man, some of that
stuff when you and I agree with that the condo
fee is kind of high. But you know, I don't know,
I mean, I mean, we we had we have a
(13:36):
this lady that we call our mentor, and she has
a condo right off of Sea Lion Avenue and her
and Sea Lion Avenue, y'all, we were in Philly, so
you know, off of Sea Lion Avenue. And when we
look outside her condo out the windows, she gets to
see the whole city of Philadelphia at night.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
That is such a beautiful, beautiful sight. So when you
when you have.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Views like that, and you know, and she talked about
how she and her husband sit there in the morning
sometimes and just drink their coffee, right, you.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Know, or.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Uh, you know, the the thoughts of looking at because
she also says that they get to see the fireworks
when they're.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Firing off at the Art Museum.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Oh yeah, right, you know, so so so it's almost
like they have a front row seat to some of
those events or some of those situations right, you know.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
So it's like, yeah, I can see myself doing it, right.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
I Mean that's like with me, we talk about you know, decks.
I don't want no deck looking at no back of
nobody house. But give me some mountains, give me some
trees far or something like that. I'd rather deal see
with mother nature than.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
So. And I agree, I agree, but I'll give you
my my my So. One of my wife's cousins, he
lives in the Poconos, and.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
The family had gone up there in the Poconos and
visited him, like everybody, everybody was up there, and so
so we stayed tonight.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
We were you know, we were fortunate that we you know,
we had to stay the night.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
But our kids were little, real little, And so I
woke up to smell of bacon everybody you know they
cook in and everything else.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Right, So.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I look out back, I'm like, Yo, cous is that
a bear? The bear was in the trash can. He's like,
oh yeah, I forgot what he named the bear. He's like,
oh yeah, that's just whoever, right, Like, because all this
stuff we ate last night, he's eating it this morning.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
So so is that what you want? You want to
be able to look at the bear. Cool bears be
coming down this way. So what's the difference. Yeah, I
guess so they just caught one in Jersey.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I guess so.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
But yeah, I just you know, dude, I'm like, I'm
kind of like, no, I don't. I don't know if
I'm gonna be that. I could deal with deer. Look,
I could deal with this because we see them all
the time. But you know, see I didn't. I didn't
know the bear was that closed, so I wouldn't have
been by that back gate the night before. And then
(16:27):
he was like, yeah, we're gonna party again tonight. Okay,
I'll be I'll be sitting in my car or something
like that.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
I don't great. This is the the scenery, man, Just no.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
But I agree with you though. I mean I look
at that on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I look at people who are building houses and like
you said, in the mountains, and I mean this, yeah,
don't don't. The only other thing I would have concerned about,
besides some wildlife being mountain lions or you know, chickens,
I don't know. But but the other thing is, like
I did see one person, one YouTuber they had to
(17:05):
deal with a brushfires, right, you know, and so that's
one thing that I'm like, you know, that's not easy
to control. Listen to them, that's like control once again.
We get them down this way, yeah, nowhere near where
they were though. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Yeah, but you know they just recently had what a
couple of near Philly and down in Philly, we do,
they had them in Jersey.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
It's like.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Things is changing, yeah, you know, yeah, I mean that
would be one heck of a weekend project trying to
put out a brush fire. Oh no, let them let
the professional.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
You know, with these projects. Man, it's like now we
got these days the way stuff is how much they charge,
and it makes you want to learn how to do
the stuff yourself, right right, And I think that's where
we're at the point where we're at now.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
I mean, between me, you and tre Wrong we got
enough tools. We got enough.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
We got enough too to make our own show two
times the neighbors tool time.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Listen, man, you know.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
We just.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
And and and that's and that's sometimes that's funny, like
when we talk about it of how many tools we
actually have between the three of us.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah exactly, that's crazy. Yeah, I mean
we if we really wanted to start our own business,
we could.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
We could, we could.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Now the question is what we want to do that
all the time for me of being no, but.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
But we could though, well would you? You got more
a lot more going on than me. I mean, I
don't know if I want to.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
I don't know if I want to be in that
build it mode every single day.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I can do it.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
I mean, we can do it, but you safely than
somebody with some bill.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Yeah can y'all. Beth To said, well, yeah, cost your
little feed, but right, we can do it. Yeah, just
like we'll submit, I mean laying I submit. I mean
that it's easy, but you gotta know the steps of
doing it right right now, you got dig down four
inches six to four inches per se, depending on the
(19:25):
thickness of your sidewalk whatever.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
Then saying type of saying like I said, type of saying.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
Then you get the grates, put down, the grates down there,
the wire rates down. Then you're feeling them with cemen.
You measure it. Everything gotta be measured. Everything gotta be
even measured. And that's it.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Yeah, I mean I watched people, do you know again,
I'm a YouTube person, So you know, I look at
them do dry poors, what do they put the where
he put the bag down? The water it, you know
in place, right, I looked at them and taking it
and actually mixing it. I mean I had even looked
at a mixing bucket at Harbor Freight. It wasn't even
(20:08):
that much money, you know, and you know so I mean,
in all reality, could I do it? I probably could?
Like I said, sometimes like do I really want to
do it? That's my challenge.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
That's my challenge as well.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
That's my challenge. I mean because like right now, I
mean even just talking about it right now makes mean
like all right, Maurice, just go outside, just look if
nothing else, just go to go to home deeper and
get the pre mixed concrete for some of the stuff
that I gotta get done.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
You get what I mean?
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Could I just do that just to at least make
it look nice, right, you know, so filling some of
these cracks and whatever else I need to do just
so it just doesn't.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Look as bad. I could probably.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
I mean you know what sometimes we get did I know,
I go through that times that lazy channel come on.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
And I'm like, oh man.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Yeah, well yeah, we'll Shoot, I'm relaxed. Now I can wait. Yeah,
I wait to the more, I wait to the weekend.
I do it next week, I wait the next month.
Yeah oh damn, but yeah went by already.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Ye yep.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
It's like it gets like that. But you know, like
you said, you get the estimates. Oh well I can
do this for like hell no.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Yeah, And that's the I mean, And don't get me wrong, y'all,
Like I prefer in all honestly, I prefer the professionals
to do it right, in all honesty, but because of
cost and whatever.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
And then here's the other thing too. Uh. I was
taught that a man should be able to fix stuff.
That was what I was taught like wise, right, right.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
You know, And so there's some things where I at
least want to say I tried it, right, I mean,
I've succeeded at one hundred, but at least I tried it.
And just for like we're talking about right here, about
this concrete stuff, I mean, half of it is what
just getting self leveling, that's right, you know.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Get the right you know, get the right saying the
right gravel.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Uh, especially what a certain time was Yeah, basically is
rid of the right gravel, you know, stones and all that.
But it's just in place. You just got to know
the place to go. I mean, I know a couple
of places you can go. I know that you don't
know now, right because you know I was doing. Yeah,
it's it's it's just like you want to you know,
(22:52):
like you said, you do loser. Let the professionals do it.
But also you know how much material us all about
the material. But it's the point is you can let's
just say we can do it, but just don't really want.
Speaker 5 (23:07):
To do it. Yeah, I mean, but yeah, I mean,
my my thing is with homie, prove my own. I
got one problem. It's you.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
I can't measure to save a damn lie anything that
three games. I don't know that. That's my issue, you know,
I mean I can. I mean, I'm getting a lot
I can measure. My problem is cutting it.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
And what I mean by that is is that I'll
see the line and I always cut right on the line,
which actually makes it shorter.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
So you got cut before the line? Yeah yeah, I
always thought you cut on the line.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yeah, I mean, well that's just been my issue. I'll
cut right on the line, coming like yo, I'll do this,
and then it'll be just a hair a hair short
maybe because of the thick of the thickness of the blade.
It might be it might be right. So I'm not
always considering that got you you know, oh yeah, because
if you cut before the line, yeah, cut at the line,
(24:10):
yeah right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Right, that dude.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
See, that's another dude played in the fact. You gotta
get the right blades to cut, you.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Get you know.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
So, so that's why these weekend projects feel like they
take three months. Right, that's true, you know, because we
don't as as amateurs, we don't have we don't take
in consideration all these things, right right, we know about them,
we know about them, right, but it don't come to mind
when we're doing it.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Right.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Sometimes you cut, oh man, cut too much. I'm like,
all right, well, let me get something to shave it down.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
So right.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Well, yeah, so you know how many are y'all out
there are in a similar boat?
Speaker 2 (24:56):

Speaker 1 (24:57):
How many y'all You know think y'all nailed the situation,
y'all got it, but.

way you thought. Nope.
