Should have charged by the mitered corner!


This was a small Marmoleum job, about 38 yards. There are 6 seams in the field material and 134 feet of borders and 34 miters.

Looks great Barry,

What about the base. Cut net, slide marmo under or was the base installed after?

Contact on mitered corners or L910. What about shrinkage??? Remember we talked about this the other day.

The floors are very wavy so they are putting base shoe on. The toekicks get a skin.

All the longer pieces were done yesterday with L910 to within a foot of the ends. Then I left to do a bathroom that had a leaky toilet last week and had finally dried out. Returned today to do the miters and the smaller pieces. Used contact. Absolutely no shrinkage at the miters.

All the borders are running lengthwise (think picture frame). Even the 2 2 inch pieces.

You really do pick the easy ones don't you Barry. Looks real good you deserve another pat on the back and a pay rise
Re your miters I have often thought that instead of charging a lineal metre rate for boarders on those vinyl plank jobs there should be a "miter" charge as well especially jobs like this. Thats what takes the time not the straight bits.

I think both lineal foot and miters. Jon's right the miters are what take the time.
