In all my years restoring historic wooden windows. I never knew about this tool. But I'm glad my buddy Mitch Davis told me to get one. Wish I would have known about this tool in my earlier years. But I will post it here. If you restore wooden window. You should add this tool to your bag!

Oh yea I truly know this is real. But don't see yourself losing. See yourself going through the worse case scenarios but see yourself getting through every one. Think and over think of every possible outcome and see you finding a solution in that event.
I have never not gotten through any fearful situation. Nor have I ever considered failure. Failure has to be proven before ill accept it.
But truly the only failure is to make a mistake and give up. You can not fail as long as you keep trying.
My dad had a saying if I said i couldn't do something. He'd say "can't never could". Took me a long time to see it for what it meant. Id say, " duh if I can't do it then I couldn't do it". But he meant the mindset "can't" wrong get me there. I got to keep trying, keep getting up and I'll get it. I get the reference and I can't fail cause I'll never give up.

Knew I was gonna resurface some stained French doors in direct sun light all day with zero wind! So this was the only song I could get my mind right for the task on my commute to the job site.
It got me all the way to 1pm. Before I had you ring out all the sweat 😓 from my shirt. Me and my young apprentice sanded on these doors now for 2 days. Hand sanded the profiles first with 80g. Then with 150g and today with 220g. Monday we hit the flats with sander in 150g. Then by hand with 220g.
I can promise this, these doors will have never looked better. After we're done. No one does stain refinishing like us and I prove it with every stained piece we refinish. Because our work looks tons better then the existing! Every single time!
FYI I really do jam to that song! My wife Mollie Frederick and I sing it to each other everytime it comes on the radio.
This really is the time of my life and I've never felt this way before. Yes I swear!

Well today my apprentice learned a valuable lesson. While I was training him one on one. Costly lesson, but this is why we have insurance. During training today on stain refinishing. My apprentice was doing great! Following instructions,focusing on strategic scraping. But he unfortunately broke this window insert. It's a bad mistake for sure. Never the less we will replace it and I've been tentatively searching for a repair or custom manufacturer to rectify this situation.
Now I'm not one to post our accidents. But I am one to seize the opportunity to show accidents can happen. It's how we handle them accordingly and promptly I wanted to post. Weather we can find the identical insert. Or have to replace both. We will fix it. No matter what! Next time you see these doors(hopefully real soon) they will be refinished with unbroken glass to perfection.

Beautiful waterproofing of a stucco exterior.

My customers ask me all the time, "how do you have the patience to do this, I can't stand painting".
Honestly, I was indoctrinated at a early age. Brain washed if you will. I operate and orchestrate by repetitive non stop relentlessness. Ever since I could be called a teenager "13".
Truthfully, I couldn't be further away from a painting project. While I am actually painting. It's all muscle memory at this point.
Just this week while spraying the soffit on a brick house. This is the type of things I think about while I'm painting.
- " I bet Andy from child's play is the same Andy from toy Story".
- " shaggy from scooby doo is really a sc**zo. Scooby is a emotional support animal. Velma is psych doctor, Freddy is an orderly and Daphne is the med cart nurse. Really they're trying to snap shaggy out of his delusion about monsters.
But I really couldn't be further away from daily stress when I'm painting. When I'm painting I'm really thinking about crazy stuff.
Painting is my natural state of existence, I can do this instinctively. When I'm not painting in thinking about painting. When I'm painting i have the most off the wall thoughts and really get away.
Like I said, indoctrinated and brain washed.
