Why would it be taxing.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
These shows are not taxing to you, Well they aren't.
What folks cannot see is you crank back in that
chair with your feet up on the desk and headphones
on and answering questions.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Answer.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
We're talking to you about home improvement.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
That's what we do.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Relaxed set back and the venus flight the venus flight
trap of home improvement is that it? That's you. So
did your mom your mom teach you anything about home improvement?

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Actually, well, I don't know if she really Yeah, yeah,
I mean she was the painter of the house, so
she did pretty much all the painting. Though my dad
he could tackle some bigger projects, you know, like I
when else in early teenage years. He was one of
the probably one of the first house flippers the house

(02:00):
across the street. And when he came home from work
and on the weekends, that's what he did, and I
followed right along ron. You know, it was a yard
that was I still remember the yard. It's a nice
yard and it was all overgrown, it was totally overgrown,
and that was uh, you know, that was me and
a couple of my buddy's first jobs in that particular

(02:22):
project them. He got in and put in flooring, and
you know, he did the whole works and the he
sold the house.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
What is your dad you say about measuring?

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Well, his thing is, uh, measure three times and then
cut it three times. I never could figure that out either.
We had, we had we had some kerfluffles about that. Yeah, yes,
I would say, okay, Dad, it's eighty six and a half.
He goes, okay, are yeah, go ahead and cut that
eighty seven. Why would I do that? It's eighty six

(02:56):
and a half. Yeah, but you wanna you wanna label
of room in case you're screwed up. And he said,
well I didn't screw up. It's eighty six and a half.
That's why we're measuring. You just cut it at ed
He said, okay, cut it ay seven?

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Go there?

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Half inch too long? Dad? Yeah, well go ahead and
cut it eighty six and three quarter. So were we
sneaking up on it? And so it was I guess,
measure once, cut three times.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, that was it. That was it.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
That was a game plan.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
And you definitely do not do that today. No.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
No, In fact, I explained to him that's what molding
and calocking is for he just looked at it, looked
at me and said, just cut it.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Oh golly, yeah, so it goes. But yeah, that was
that was kind of a fun project. But my mom,
she was the she was the painter. She was the
painter of the house.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
So she chose the colors and then had you prepped?

Speaker 2 (03:56):
No, I did, I did paint. In fact, a funny
story is my I don't know why we're talking about this,
but it's kind of a cool story for dads listening
and mom's. When I was a kid, I remember my
mom saying she her mother died in her forties and
my mom raised like all her siblings, which was like
six or seven. So she was the lady of the house,

(04:19):
had to drop out of high school. When she painted,
she fixed everything in her house. Her father was a
carpenter and when she got married to my dad, my
dad's father was in a hardware business. How about that wow,
And he did everything, didn't really show his kids how
to do things. So when my mom went to paint,
my dad said, I don't know how to paint, and

(04:39):
she just, well, come on, big boy, let me show
you how to paint. And and she did, and he
became proficient at other things around the house. But my mom,
when dad was at work, and if she wanted to paint,
you know who got so I guess she did show me, right, Yeah,
she showed me how to paint the bedroom. When I

(05:01):
was twelve or thirteen, I remember painting my own bedroom
the color I wanted.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
So, yeah, what was that color?

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Gary Sullivan, I don't know exactly what that color was,
but I will tell you in my later teenage years,
maybe sixteen seventeen, it was the brightest green you could
ever imagine.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
So you liked the greens, Well, apparently I did. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
I don't ever want to see that picture, but I
can still visualize it.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
I love it. And you said, you don't know why
we're talking about this, because you're telling stories about your
mom because it's Mother's Day weekend.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
There you go, there you go. So yeah, But as
I got older and got into home improvement, and I
would catch my mom go and I've used this on
the show. She would have some old metal chairs to
sit out back on a patio on and all of
a sudden she'd be painting it and I'd look at
the paint and I go, Mom, why Are you using
indoor latex paint on those chairs? That's all we had. Yeah,

(05:58):
but it's not gonna work. Yeah, will it's not gonna work.
And it didn't work.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
But uh but when it didn't work, you didn't remind
her of that, did you.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
No?

Speaker 1 (06:08):
No, of course not no.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
And she didn't say, Hey, you were right.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Same as missus Sullivon that you're married to.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
I'm not going there.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
You're not gonna remind her there.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
It's Mother's Day weekend. Don't don't set the trap. I
was myself there you go.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
You're gonna talk about home improvement today.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yes, sir, anything in particular, maybe painting. Huh.

be a bad way to start.
