Good for you Bob! Good to hear that the boy has possibly seen the error of his ways?

Thanks Russ. The alpha male always perseveres.

As I've said before, he's actually a pretty good kid. A little lazy, but weren't we all at that age? I think he's suffering some mild depression now that he's graduated and doesn't really know where to go from here. I get it. It can be daunting, but my advice to even if it's wrong" may seem not so crazy to him now. My goal is just to get his *** in gear, which hopefully will gain momentum - right out my front door.

Listening to Bob's stories about the young lad, I feel certain he has never operated a demo hammer and required a demo. I got my boy on one of those a couple of years ago at house #2, I couldn't imagine trying to get the mastic up without it.

I thought he was talking about a manual sledge hammer.

That's a different kind of demo hammer.
