After 10 years, it is a rare occasion when I question whether or not I can install a new
type of flooring or tackle a difficult layout. At this point, I've seen just about every difficult layout and uncertain
jobsite condition imaginable. Still, I recently had to swallow my pride and ask for some advice on a job that just wasn't
going the way I thought it should.
I won't get into details, but after talking it through
with a product rep, it was a no-brainer. On my own, however, I could not seem to find the solution. Maybe I just had sensory
overload that day and couldn't clear my head. I don't know. But I'm glad I asked for help. Had I continued on my original
course, I don't know that the job would have turned-out so well.
My point is, don't be afraid to ask for help, even if you're a seasoned veteran. We all have
bad days, and there's always someone out there with more experience or can at least offer a fresh perspective on the
situation. Had I not swallowed my pride and asked for help, it could have cost me thousands of dollars. My pride may not
taste so good, but my wallet's sure glad I swallowed it!
