[00:00:00]Good old Dendy.

[00:00:03]That's where my mama graduated from.

[00:00:07]So overall I'm picking that [ __ ] to paint. You hear and receive it.

[00:00:10]Get out my way now. I'm trying to be productive.

[00:00:13]Why you just sitting there? Why you just sitting there doing nothing?

[00:00:16]Okay. The light on.

[00:00:18]There we go.

[00:00:21]I might change the light. It's a little dull.

[00:00:53]So the guy going to be here in the morning to do the floors. Obviously not the same guy that did the last house.

[00:01:02]Man, I don't know if your eyes is different than mine, but you don't see all these dark spots in the uh in the in the ground. Once again, you got poly splashed on the damn wall.

[00:01:15]So [ __ ] man.

[00:01:17]He got the edges of the baseboard all messed up. You're supposed to put tape on them so you don't mess them up. This room got these dark spots everywhere.

[00:01:25]Hallway got dark spots everywhere.

[00:01:28]If I see him again, I'm going to swing on him.

[00:01:31]Stop pissing on the floor. But man, I told these guys, bro, stop putting all this god damn paint on the floor. I even bought the tape the paper.

[00:01:39]Put down the paper.

[00:01:41]So it wouldn't get on the floor and they still got paint on the floor. Like god damn. Put this [ __ ] on the damn ground.

[00:01:46]You should have cut all these. Nobody uses paper no more.

[00:01:51]Okay.

[00:01:52]>> [sighs and gasps] >> Bathroom straight.

[00:01:55]Love of colors.

[00:01:57]Kitchen.

[00:01:58]I'm going to add a stove over there. I'm going to buy another cabinet to go above the stove and one above the refrigerator. It's going to go over there.

[00:02:09]Yeah, I think once them floors get done, it's going to be fly.

[00:02:19]How's it going?

[00:02:28]What up with that?

[00:02:29]>> Yeah.

[00:02:43]Oh, yeah. Okay, I see them now. All these?

[00:02:45]>> Mhm.

[00:02:46]>> Damn, I wonder why they do that. I thought they used the little side finishing nails to go with the hardwood floors.

[00:02:51]>> It's usually what they do, but if there's a problem with the floors, then they might just go ahead and like tap it in.

[00:02:59]>> Uh-huh.

[00:02:59]>> I ain't never seen it where they used this many nails, so >> Yeah.

[00:03:03]>> you know, this is like excessive, so They'll probably get some some creaks and stuff in the floors.
