good lord what a Mexicali mess

[Mikey P]

Anyone ever seen one like this?


Customer sent me the two pics..

 

[Bryan Thomson]

Definetly Saltillo.....can't tell if it still has floor finish still on it....if it does most of it is worn off the tile but the last picture looks like the grout might still have finish / shinny grout.
I'd bet at least 1-2 stripping and a acid grout cleaning for sure......I won't do it for less then $3-4.00 a sq ft with a 3-4 layer recoat. But that's just me......I don't do it everyday for a living like you.

 

[Mark Saiger]

Ouch. Glad I don't see that around here...

 

[Mikey P]

looks worse than most gas station bathrooms..

 

[Bryan Thomson]

look at those custom outlets definitely a hazard and the baseboards are already warped

 

[Mikey P]

It gets better..

Hi Mike,

We'd love to get this job done before August 20 if that is possible. I
don't think the floor is sealed. Probably we will just do cleaning rather
than seal it but I am open to hearing about what sealing would entail.
We'd want a low-toxic sealer and I'm concerned it might take a long time
to dry, and/or have a super strong smell, but 8 people live here so having
the kitchen out of commission even for 24 hours isn't so great.

How soon could Davis come take a look?

Peace,
K....

 

[hogjowl]

She said peace.

Have no further contact.

 

[Mikey P]

No chit.

 

[hogjowl]

Might as well be a white Cadallac with a fish on the back.

 

[dealtimeman]

Anything you do to that poor floor over than a full take down and reseat and you will be wishing you had a different email.

How are you going to talk your way out of this one?

15 dollars a sqft?

 

[hogjowl]

Why not just tell the truth?

 

[Mikey P]

Actually, we're booked until the 20th..

 

[Bryan Thomson]

24hrs to strip /clean and if they don't want any "stinky chemicals" then 48 hrs to strip with "soy base / green stripper" that takes 2-3x longer dwell time...WTF.....it going to take 24 hrs to clean and 2-3 days to dry that "sponge of a tile" before anyone smart enough to do it....can put 3-4 coats.....Run Forest....Run!!

 

[hogjowl]

That should work.

 

[Desk Jockey]

A dog with fleas.

Peace...out!

 

[Mikey P]

Turns out we've been there before to reject her shower stall.


Horrid mess


and she has a 'stash...

 

[Desk Jockey]

Yeah but does she have nice legs?

 

[Bryan Thomson]

Mustache or "Stash" like "skunk weed"......with the look of that house that's what I'd guess she would smoke.

 

[Old Coastie]

It was always my policy to never woo wimmin with more facial hair than I have.

Still is. Man's gotta have standards, unless your name rhymes with "itchard" or "plate" or (one suspects) "nawb" or "yike."

Is that floor nearly trashed and ruined? Yes
Should you turn the job down or price it super high? Yes
Do we Mikey's members want to see it in full detail? Yes

 

[FB7777]

Love the filth on the bottom edges of the refrigerator .

I bet the mop she uses to spread the mud around is the same color

No matter what miracle you performed it would like like that again inside of 2 months

 

[Mark Saiger]

Did I mention I am so thankful I don't see that around here

(Well...I get my share of other things I guess )

 

[Jim Pemberton]

As soon as I saw the poor care that the floor has received to this point, including the base damage, I thought it was a bad job to consider. The later message you posted from her confirmed it.

A good lesson to the newer cleaners about learning to see the red flags, both visually and in what they say to you.

 

[Bob Pruitt]

Actually, we're booked until the 20th..

That's how we do it too... so very sorry we are completely booked for the month of August! Best of luck!

 

[Desk Jockey]

I have them. They are just very low.
I try to accommodate!

 

[Mikey P]

If it was winter and I was there to help and the customer was wiling to pay $10 a foot...

 

[Mikey P]

All these web nerds are so obsessed with 3D and VR images when in times like this Odorama would be some much more effective.



But I dont see that helping the porn industry much..

 

[Shorty]

Is that moisture that has migrated up the kitchen cupboards?

Terribly sorry, but my price would be around $20f2 to clean & seal that properly+ it would also be a five day job.

If you would like it done cheaper & quicker, I don't have any recommendations.

May the peace be with you.
