What a mess

Floor done wrong too many times, too many years.
Way to many layers of wax, dirty wax from improperly prepared floor, too thick of wax coats

I am completely done in
Some people don't know what they are doing or don't care

Interesting. I bet you notice all the floors in whatever building you enter, and most folks like me won't take a bit of notice unless its sticky or real slick.

What a mess

Your right, I see a lot of dirty carpet and ect,

It really sucks when it is deep, or thick wax, our courthouse is even deeper, I won't do any work there anymore

Carpet is different for me at least in restaurants, I do notice it. I was referring more to the tile floors. My wife says the guys that do her school floors notice every little scuff too.

Truck stop?

Lumber yard in town

That is a mess.

If you're a contractor, I wish you the best...if you work for the lumber yard, you deserve a raise! God Bless!

I hope you didn't beat yourself up too bad doing that floor. Now I know how come you like tooling around on your 4-wheeler with the dog chasing those northern Iowan yoders

Trust me lol, I would much rather dig my ATV out of deep snow than do this stuff!
I normally make 50-100$ an hour, I probably got 25$ this time

I've done floors n carpet for 33 years now, it looked so bad this time I might think an employee had tried to wax it
My back hurt so bad the knee and bad heel pain were hardly noticeable

Even the karate kid would have problems with that.......lol

I was so tired when I finished it I forgot to take after pictures, I'll try today when I drop off the key, it would be nice to not have numb hands, it's really bad for days after this kind of work

Sounds like you need to hire a "helper" pay them $18 an hour or so and make them use that scraper. Pretty easy work for a young guy with a strong back.

Soon all those floors and carpets will be in the past or at least when you want to do a few at your convenience AND price

Yup if I knew of someone

I did the stripper, scraping 4 times where it was deep, almost got it all
Most jobs I use a dry machine to remove the wax, it didn't do good enough two years ago, the dry machine is less work and time normally

Don't envy you on that!!

I didn't think it would take more than two strips because I hit it hard a couple years ago with my big dry machine, someone added a lot of dirty wax last time
