So another day in the neighborhood…what happened? you might ask… well I will tell ya…

 

got a paper jam in the zook tod…yep and not a fun one either.

 

i tried the usual…ha lemme talk like a pro on the zook..only 2nd job with it

So…i swigged it in water and got the needle nose pliers and ripped it out…. still jammed

what’ da?

looked in there with the eyeballs and could see metal thing, and …

tried sending my utility knife…full blade through there hitting on the metal…

finally figured it out…it was the cutter…all i had to do was move the middle shaft…the cutter/advancer

ya…it was stuck in position..and thus had a little chunk of metal in the way and paper tape could not advance

What Else happened Tod?

Well..almost got the numbers and money mixed up with customer.

which ain’t good…but we got it smoothed out

1st mistake….giving leeway where unwaranted

meaning…if customer asks…when do you want your money…either run out there and get it asap or have him send it

or nail down a date and time…and receive it

do not say…oh it’s okay, i’ll be around there the better part of the day…you can get it to me then

2nd mistake….50% on top of 25% initial down pay

when they ask how much…i.e 50%…just give them a dollar amount…it lessens the confusion and possible embarrassment later of them handing you 500 bones, when in fact that was only 25% and you wanted 50%

just calculate and tellem… that will be another $900 sir… date/time (pay before you take one tool off your truck)

this is the DRywall DIary 4 tod

enjoy
