| 0:25.4 | unbecoming your parents has just just got it pinned right like and the thing is like you |
| 0:31.8 | you don't realize it until you're like kind of down the road of it happening. Yeah. You know? |
| 0:38.1 | So the gist of it is our stucco scratch coat is going on. |
| 0:42.4 | It just, it just got finished. |
| 0:44.6 | And my father-in-law and I are elsewhere doing other stuff. |
| 0:50.8 | And after lunch, we're watching the guys kind of tidy up a few things and they've got their |
| 0:56.4 | mix going and we're kind of sitting there watching and then but within a matter of a couple |
| 1:01.9 | minutes we're like so when you guys are mixing and using the paddles and kind of getting it on |
| 1:07.5 | your how do you get that little wrist flick there and they're like are you is it more of a flick or? And then the guy's like, no, no, no, no. Like, don't touch metal to metal.
