We talk to Marc Lapsley from Architectural Directions about a linoleum job gone wrong, with our favorite inspector Tony Christopher about his office project of shame, with WTF’s own Toni Collier about a sticky sample situation, with Producer Jose regarding the trailer from hell, with Jeremy Everts from Pacific Mat about the “Summer of Chad”, and we wrap with industry legend John Ferguson for some words of wisdom.

We talk about the processes that work and the ones that don’t, what the timeline looks like, the different types of claims, who gets involved and what information is truly needed.

This episodes’ Walk the Plank is a full-on rant by our very own Michael G about why Janka is “jank-y”.

Received some feedback on our latest episode "The Mysterious World of Installation Supplies" and we wanted to share it with all of our listeners.

From Chris Sessum 2022 & 2019 TISE Carpet Installer of the Year, "I heard the podcast about plastic and thought I'd share this. I typically steer people away from it, since I've replace carpets (new and old), others have done and were unable to clean it. I've also seen it pull loose fibers on wool and create a fuzzing appearance. I tell all I work with about it to avoid issues. It comes down to proper planning and schedule. Unfortunately some will use it anyway. I always take pictures if I see it on to avoid any false claims or possible blame. Wool is more at risk because a cleaner can't be as aggressive to remove residue. They often get cleaned more than once and damaged in the process...again, leading to replacement."

Thanks Chris! We love that you reached out to share your own knowledge and experience with us!
