Greg,

We don't need a screwdriver to have a party. Plus, can't you cook from the rig?

Well instead of Screwdrivers - I could just get a keg....

I'll be here for the Sun Valley Road Rally.... and all the stuff from the other shed will be here on pallets -- so you guys could all come over and run your cars (or as most on here do - WATCH) LOL ----- and then help me hang signs and unpack.... Party, Work, Play...

I will tell anyone thinking about having their floors done.... do this in the right order of the build/remodel! I chose to have this done AFTER everything was painted and finished. That's because I didn't decide to do it until everything else looked so good that I thought - what the heck - might as well do the floors now. The diamond grinder is hooked to a large vacuum - but it isn't capable of trapping the super fine dust.

Big mistake.

The dust from the diamond cutter is EVERYWHERE.... and it will take some time to get it all cleaned up. It's super fine... and is on every freshly painted wall -- and on every surface. It cleans up with a vacuum -- but running a vacuum on the painted walls isn't an option. The walls are a dark color and they would be clean but would also need to be repainted! I'm going to try to use a wide dust mop and hope that knocks the dust off without streaking or marring the walls.

Had I known it was going to make this big of a mess -- I'd have had the painters come in and mask everything that wasn't a floor.

Technically the flooring company should have warned you and priced the job with and without additional dust control measures.

We did our floors first then ran over the whole shop with compressed air. waited, blew it out again 2 days later. Ran a mop through, then painted the walls. Dust sucks!

Oh... you mean the very same idiot that told me "the only way you'll know I was here is because the floors are painted"?? That same guy??

I just spent from 6AM this morning til 3:30PM cleaning.... it's back to perfect now... and I need a nap.

Yesterday I vacuumed the entire shop floor..... it's a lot of floor space when using a vacuum head that's maybe 15" or so wide and you have short arms...

Today I started with the walls and they came out perfect and won't need any paint work.... then cleaned off all the electrical boxes as the guy that made the statement above --- managed to toss chip piles on every one of them...

It's okay - I have nothing else to do. Tomorrow I'll run the rig down to Twin Falls to the Blue Beacon Truck Wash... That's only a 5 hour round trip.... it's okay -- I got nothing else to do. :>)

You could get the diamond grinder back and do the shop floor like you were supposed to.

I've had more than a couple installers dust a customers house down due to improper dust control measures........I paid for the cleaning service to restore the site to original condition.

I'd invite the idiot over for a beer and polite show & tell session.
