Smack Talk on a job site - I will make some of you mad- How contractors really communicate Landscape

What happens here

The speaker walks over to show pallets of rolled sod. He explains that even if the sod is frozen, it is still viable for installation as long as it can be unrolled and laid flat. He contrasts this with laying sod in hot summer months (July or August), where the intense heat can 'cook' the sod, even if adequately watered, due to moisture retention underneath, leading to its death. This reinforces that late season installation, even with frozen sod, leads to better results with less maintenance.

Goal: Illustrate the viability of frozen sod and optimal laying seasons.

This is what I mean. These rolls of sod. Yeah, I'm talking. You can talk if you want. Let's see where we got the door. Why are they no good? No, they're good. lock went to lock this yesterday. Yeah. The other day locked it. Yeah. Just and then went to unlock it. It just spun right out. Uh got them. All right. So, we had Are we rolling? Oh, yeah. So, we had all of our doors stolen. So, now it's stuck in the lock position. So, was me. That sounds like someone who's guilty. Hey, you put it on. That's true. And uh Elliot, actually Elliot built them. We had to assemble these doors. They were $700 each. They're normally about $1,800 each. We bought them at allidsteers.com. So I'll have to get a hold of allskidsteers.com and see if allskidsteers.com is going to fix this door for me or if it's my fault. It could be my fault. It was probably your fault. It's actually his fault. Anyway, all skidsteers.com. [Laughter] That just spun right out of there. That doesn't look spun. That looks snapped, right? But look at them. That does not look like a very uh strong metal there. So, I'm I'm just going to go right off the cuff and see aluminum. I don't think these are quite as good as standard Bobcat.
