Missed you guys! Thanks for another great show!

When Matt announced his new home "project" I asked him on his "happy hour" program if he would be doing the floors in his new home like he had done in his former house. At the time I think his wife was delighted to hear Matt answer "yes." I can honestly say I share Matt's joy of admiring that floor every time it shows up in one of your videos. The attention to the detail, the beauty of the grain and the craftsmanship of the install is amazing. I am so glad that you don't take it for granted and are able to revel in its beauty. I know it is maybe not as intricate as many of the projects you guys are able to produce but the shear volume and need for consistency makes for a stunning outcome.

I'm a finish carpenter turned woodworker. There are so many skills that are interchangeable, but they two are not the same lol.

Matt needs a haircut so he doesn’t have to wear his hood on his hoodie. Get a shave and a haircut man 🤣
