Day 41 - Meeting AMOS' partner of Brener construction 🙂

[@hereticsshallbecleansed7245]

So what's going to happen to the previous guy? Any money back?

[@rossmanngroup]

$0, he said he would consider it with his partner and never heard back. He bought zero materials for counter, and is unwilling to give back a dime of the deposit. There is no point in suing him, since half a dozen others are after him including IRS, NYS department of labor, 2 banks, the Lerner family... I checked my online banking and looked at the stamps on the checks I gave him, they are from a check cashing facility. I speculate he is going to a check cashing place and paying a 3 to 5 percent fee to cash checks rather than actually depositing them in the bank. No one pays five percent fees to cash a five figure check unless having a bank account is out of the question. This tells me he has so many liens on his accounts, that workarounds to ensure he can never be collected on are built into his business model. Any effort to recover money from him is wasted time. He will give back only if guilted into it by the community, but he does not strike me as someone with a strong sense of community, or morality... in my opinion. The best thing I can do is ensure my experience is documented so when you search for his business it is not buried on Google as it was when I initially searched. Forget my opinions or what I have to say: you can see the progress from day 1 to the present, see the speed they worked at, the quality of the job, the quality of the materials. Read a copy of the contract & hear what he had to say when confronted, hear what his own employees had to say about him in day 38, and decide if you want to do business with him yourself. Every potential client of his deserves the opportunity to access these materials quickly upon googling. The link to his bankruptcies & past cases went from nowhere on Google to result 3. The truth has a way of finding its way to the top eventually. I don't mind hastening that process.

Vinyl is a great choice. With a lot of foot traffic, hardwood will be beaten up and will have to constantly be refinished, especially in areas with rolling or sliding chairs.

[@thebabscast5154]

Yesss and it looks good too

[@TheSir2005]

Vinyl will get beaten up in the same way. Everything gets beaten up by wear and tear. They both have pro's and con's. The hard wood floor they were laying down would have worked fine, sand it, plug it and put a strong coating, no oil but a hard clear coat, on it. And all you need to do is sand and coat it again in about 10 years or so and it will last forever, literally. Vinyl you have to replace at some point cause that PU coating will be gone at some point.

If you put the wood look alike vinyl you have to apply 2-3 coat of ''wax'' on it. It is not mandatory but if you want it to last and not get scratched ... I used to manage a 24 appartement building and we started to change the parquet floor for this kind of vinyl flooring. At first we were really happy . 1- It looks great 2- Easy to clean 3- Confortable to walk on it 4- Offer a great isolation/sound proofing for the neighbour below. After 2-3 years I started to notice scratches and chairs marks. In some appartements the color had fade (probably due to a strong cleaning product). The only appartement where the floor was still in neat condition is where the tenant had applyed wax on the floor. She did so because she is using a wheelchair and knew that it will damaged it. I dealt with my share of contractors and Paul is right...He will do a really great job, he is organise, his presentation is important to him and he his quote will be higher but for sure this guy is honest and proud.

Must have a laser with a slope function for this project since the floor not will be level and to still get it flat. Would still be better to just use plywood as a filler and then self leveling compound on the top of that. If a 1/2" plywood isn't filling up the void, Styrofoam boards or similar can be placed under the plywood that is fastened with screws.

'I hope you burned something'

[@foxykero]

If it burned any more you couldn't afford it

[@mitchellcrane9809]

As for cable trays - in my shop I have used PVC pipe cut open down its length with holes inside of pipe where wires need to come out. Another easy way is simply rain gutter . Both ways can hide the wires and can be painted to match the walls.

[@BirolKanmaz]

I'm very excited for you. This guy seems legit. I hope you move to this store as soon as possible.

[@jpopwell1]

if you have casters on the workbench chairs, be aware a lot of modern flooring will wear out easily if casters are allowed direct contact. even hardwood snap together flooring only last 2yr. make sure you investigate chair matts strength as well. direct plywood will not work alone either even with rubber casters.

[@DeDraconis]

Just an FYI this is not showing up in my subscriptions feed, but all your other videos are.

[@drCox12]

You know why I like this guy? - He's calm. In my experience those who know their business stay calm because they know what they're talking about. They know they can convince you with facts and explain things. On the other side the beguilers get loud and cut in in order to mimic something like authority.

[@dylan9312]

Honestly, even if it's expensive, go with this guy. Absolutely no way you'll ever find another person of this caliber or quality who'll do exactly what you want, and make your your space useable and comfortable.

[@Anon.G]

I've had that audio loop thing happen on Digicell towers. So typically poor infrastructure causes it to happen

[@dasedl]

We have armstrong vinyl in our company for over 10 years now and it still looks almost new, no issues with cleaning or anything else

[@elbuggo]

5:26 - Yes use high end Vinyl boards! Light, low cost and good! Dont use low end Vinyl.

[@tactileslut]

Second on avoiding the low end stuff. I have "LVP click" stuff here, installed on the wrong subflooring,. It's brittle and as it cracks I keep tripping on the edges.

[@Draugo]

The fact that this guy is confident on video that he obviously knows will be widely viewed is a really good sign. It is understandable if you want to stay somewhat anonymous etc. but when you are on the video like this it would be a huge risk for a scammy business.

The whistling radiator just means the teapot is ready.

[@kriswingert1662]

You can't just write stuff like this!! Life is unscripted and better than any tv show. Fantastic!!!!

[@TeKDeLorean]

12:08 any person who coughs into their sleeve instead of their hands or GOD FORBID into the shared air of an indoor space gets a thumbs up from me. I like this new contractor already.

[@Hi7here]

I like that he didn't BS you about the length of time quote. Mentioning that materials can take a couple weeks is a big deal. He could have totally quoted you the amount of time HIS labor would take but you'd still be waiting weeks over on whatever materials

[@ChronologicalLogic]

if the audio quality was any better, you wouldn't be able to afford it!

[@enisenzzah9400]

Nice to see this Ross and you look more relaxed and fresh. :)

[@AL-sn7no]

This isn't Amos guys, it's his partner

[@kmemz]

1: I'm glad that things got worked out and the miscommunications cleared up, in all their hilarity. 2: Seriously, this man sounds legit, he's explaining stuff, not trying to skip over details, and he's not stuttering as a result of trying to talk so fast that you miss details, and he's suggesting cheaper, but still good materials in spite of himself. I look forward to seeing high wlquality work on this season of Rossmann Realty and Construction.

[@highvoltage12v]

The flooring from the back room could be used on the Back walk behind the Rossmann Sheep logo.

[@p529.]

Just wanted to let you know the video showed up for me but due to timezones that was 15 hours after your release :P was asleep when you released it

[@TheSiriusEnigma]

You might want to look at a easily replaceable flooring divided in zones. That way when you need to fix it, you only have one zone to fix.

[@cinnavision]

Yes, this is what I would like to do. A easily replaceable flooring such as vinyl.

[@kronks4]

I hope you guys are able to use this Brener construction company without issue. They seem very good.

[@maohun4731]

Day 41,Paul gives up in the fight against the self leveling concrete!

[@rmo917]

About fucking time. It's useful in small spots and certain brands are rather light.

[@Banks2Legit]

I was thinking the same thing, they were so adamant against in the beginning.

[@guganotubo]

...after getting screwed enough by the deck...

[@Banks2Legit]

@@dementedpaintballer Notice how he said cement right after epoxy? Wait guess you didn't. 2:42

[@mlindholm]

They're against it to even the whole floor, as that would be impractical given the height differences. They don't seem to be against it for the localized variances.

[@danabnormal5892]

I have heavy duty vinyl on the floor of my little office for 10 years now. Looks like wood and it’s still in absolutely perfect condition. Not huge amounts of traffic or anything but it’s great stuff

[@Craftypiston]

Ooh it's you!! (imagine this still being an on going troll lmao)

[@andrewgrandma2816]

Its a Jake Paul skit, hes moving into pranks this season.

[@punkshoo]

Laminate flooring is the bomb. Its available in a wood look but with a flat surface. That stuff is great because not only is it durable, it cleans easily, too.
