But hey you put in a garage epoxy kit from Lowe's so your right.
Yeah, thanks for the acknowledgement. I actually used to be a partner in a company that did polished concrete and epoxy floors in large manufacturing facilities. We were in on the ground floor with one of the equipment manufacturers and worked with their R&D people, and for a short while had equipment that nobody else had yet. So, I know the difference between etching and scaring - thank you. It's the same general concept that's at play when they prepare a road surface to be re-paved. Like I said, this is Contracting 101 stuff - but I'm glad that we have you and Civ here to keep us all straight.
This was mid-00's and into the early teens. Bought out by a much larger national company exactly as we hoped would happen...
BTW. You and Thom Tillis are using the same talking points in comparing the reflecting pool vandals to J6 - so you are at least in good company there!
Some Styx lyrics come to mind here...
LOL, you don't need to have any specialized knowledge to know what's already public - that this was a rushed, poorly conceived job that circumvented required bidding procedures in the name of a fake emergency, and that Trump's lying about the vandalism, because his explanations make zero rational sense, and because he's the proudest liar on the planet.
So let us get this straight - nobody noticed "vandals" wading into a massive, totally visible pool that has cameras on it 24/7, to make a 350' cut in the bottom of the pool? Really? And even if Scuba Steve and his merry band of pool vandals was able to avoid security guards and cameras and slink into the pool in the dead of night and make this alleged cut, what does that have to do with the surface on the bottom of the pool peeling up all over the pool?
And most importantly, why are we ignoring that Park staff dumped concentrated hydrogen peroxide into the pool in huge quantities to control the algae, but - oh yeah! - hydrogen peroxide is an oxidizer that breaks down paint and other chemical coatings and can coincidentally lead to exactly the type of performance issues we're seeing with the paint on the bottom of the pool?
There is also zero evidence of any actual vandalism. We have a former Olympian saying he literally just touched the peeling surface and was cited.
Use your brains, people.
