It'll really get creepy when you are taking a shower in your newly redone bath and he pokes his head in and says/asks: "So you're taking a shower! Do you lather from top to bottom, pausing in the middle? Or do you lather from bottom to top, pausing in the middle?" Your animation while describing this adventure of human interaction is truly comical.
Btw this are the best Kellerman-videos... in the background somebody plays a good game nobody cares about and Claus rambles about something. I love those (don´t care for WOT, I just watch because Claus is witty and wise)
I know trades people who will happily talk all day doing nothing and leave exactly on time no matter where the conversation is, "..so she's laying there and I'm thinking...Oh 5 o clock see you tomorrow.". It's just nuts.
The problem with most herbal Teas these days is created, as usual, by letting marketers and accountants design the product. They'll use the cheapest possible product, dried in the cheapest, fastest possible way; which ensures it loses all it's flavour and most of it's volatile aromatics. Because everyone expects a nice smell, through the plastic wrapping the box, when they are choosing a tea to buy; they'll add in production, natural essences and sometimes artificial perfumes which range from having no flavour to having an astringent bitter flavour. This is why they smell fantastic in the box, even better when hot water is first added, but taste like damp straw when you sip it.
When having work done, like a home renovation; Done on time. Done well. Low cost. You may only pick two of them. but you will always have to pay for all three. Claus chose done well at a low cost and are now paying for the choice with his time being wasted.
If standard tea is not "your" cup make your own! I recommend ginger in vast proportions for your kind of condition. Dont forget some black pepper and cinnamon. Add some coconut milk until that pungent flavor hits your preferred balance. Totally support your kind camera work btw.
I agree, I just left comment above how most modern herbal teas are garbage, lacking in any real flavour or health benefit, with perfumes added so they smell pretty in the box and when you add hot water. Ginger, tumeric and coconut milk - all fresh and add cayenne or black pepper is astoundingly good for recovering full health.
The Tile Guy is obviously trying to understand your culture. If you were to meet him in public and tell him what you do for a living, he would be equally as baffled as he was with mushrooms in your omelet. The second game was good! Thanks Claus.
I feel your pain. When your brain is shooting "shut the fuck up", but your responding with just enough not to be an asshole. Some people just don't pick up on the non-verbal queues we put out.
'Two birds with one stone' has lost it's meaning over the years but imagine having to go out hunting (poaching) no guns cause you'd be found out. So you use a sling and off you set, determined to ease the hunger of your family. Now picture getting two birds, with one shot. All your birthdays come at once, your family is fed and you're not caught. As close to a working class blessing, as you can comprehend. As for workman, well I am one. You describe someone a little lonely and justifying their price. The cleanliness is a little disturbing though, usually a red flag for quality issues but glad to hear that's not the case. Have a great day, my friend.
Ah yes; but to be fair, Claus is having a bad hair day, (or the male equivalent; a GFYS day), in which everything is thereby deemed to suck, including well founded ancient sayings about poaching pheasants with a slingshot and well-meaning eastern European artisans about to take over your omelette.
We had the bath and a half gutted down to studs 18 months ago. One contractor wanted 90% of the job at contract signing…before even showing up to start. Needless to say we did not pick him.
I'd be surprised if that's even legal of him to request, not sure on tradie legislation, but most countries have strict laws limiting building contractors pre-start request to less than 20% of final price.
I used to know all the contractors in my area when I was in the business, so it was easy to know the right guys to hire to do work when I needed something done. Now all the people that do stuff are different, so I end up doing everything myself because I don't know anyone I can trust. I'm out of that loop. I'm glad I know how to do everything pretty much on a house, but I'm 67 years old and doing floors and roofs is painful. I know if I hire someone to do things they're going to overcharge and do lousy work. I don't have any answers for that. Hopefully you don't get screwed Claus.
I think I found my place - just kind of older guys (33 here), not really caring about WoT, just hanging out 😅 WoT is just a background here. Cheers guys! Always come here everyday to eat a meal with such a good company 🥹
It's heartwarming to hear that workman are the same over the pond. One guy wanted to cut my gas pipe for no good reason. NO! I said. Get out of my house. It's a weird stress too dealing with them.
Getting the contractor to feel like a friend, or a very friendly situation, is more likely to get them to do a more personable job than a half assed professional one in my humble opinion and experience.
I used to do drywall and painting. I've never heard of contractors being overly friendly, like that. The most I've seen are scary or off-putting ex-cons. They're great guys to work with tho. Just turning over a new leaf.
Sounds like Claus hired Borat & son for the job, I get a window from a glass, he must get a window from a glass. I get a step, he must get a step. I get a clock radio, he cannot afford. Great success!
Try renewing the plumber's putty seal around the drain flange. If there is any tension built into the drain system, pulling down on the drain assembly, it can cause a very slow creep of the putty, whenever the putty is warmed and softened by the heat of repeated hot water exposures. Eventually, all the putty to one side creeps out and the leaking begins. Just throwing that out there for ya, Claus, one more simple, not costly, possibility. IF your drain assembly does not use plumber's putty in the installation, ignore this suggestion. Good luck!
I had something like that happen to me - check your valuables Claus - they were distracting me whilst they were searching the house for something to steal. By the way, there's someone called 'looking_for_claus' who just scored an Ace in her FV304 on the NA server. I say her, but it could be a he. Anyway, the video is on my channel.
@@porcelain_throne_godna3131 we had our own private connection. He brought us untainted coarse cut tea when we asked for it. We had a good barter system going. But yeah...they lived on sugar.
How does a third-party plumber come to give you a price for a renovation even though he's never been there? I own 6 terraced houses in Germany that are now 5 years old, the bathrooms are designed completely differently than in North America. The toilets hang on the walls so you can wipe under them, the automatic flush is in the wall and not on the toilet. The shower is not fixed but can be removed so you can wash anywhere. My bathrooms don't have a shower curtain because the entire shower is practically a room without a tub, the tiles are set in bitumen cement and are absolutely tight. I paid 11,000 euros for each bathroom with 2 sinks, shower, toilet and bathtub, with underfloor heating and towel heating
Claus i have run into people like that before. 10 days to do a 2 day job lol. Still better than having a contractor who does it so quickly & shoddily then leaves massive mess over everything. It's like flipping a coin. After leaving the Marine Corps i worked for a house builder/general contractor for a yr . I would do what he wanted then he would talk & force you to have a coffee with him . Give you something else that took 15 min then he is talking to a friend contractor for an hour. I swear i worked 2 hrs the whole day & waited for him or watched him talk to someone the rest of the day .I actually got tired just waiting twitiling my thumbs.
I agree Claus. Why would someone send in a great replay, if they are going to zoom in and out all through it? Nobody wants to watch that. So these people go through all the trouble of having a great game, downloading it, and sending it in, but it is unwatchable. Personally, i would tell anyone who sends in a video with all the zooming in and out, that I will not show it. It may be the greatest game ever, but it is unwatchable. If they would just stop doing that, they could send in any video they want.
"Why don't you try apple tea sir? It's very good! Herbal tea is no good. And put some honey and some drops of lemon juice, too!" - just imagining worker's reply :)))))))) I do like apple tea myself, that's why I chose it :D With honey and lemon juice drops. So why don't you drink apple tea?!? Do you want more apple tea?!?
Absolutely NOTHING to do with the replay, Being a Coffee drinker myself, I wound up with a GF who made me a tea one morning, and I was actually surprised I liked it.. It was Hot Cinnamon Spice.. The really cool thing was add a little sugar, and it tastes like those cinnamon hard candies.. Still not a tea drinker, but that was actually a nice and pleasant experience
Must only happen in Canada. Most trades people are very professional. I just replaced my tub/shower bath combo for a step in tub with shower and jet system. They cleaned up after every move.
You're a Hermit Klaus. He's Conversational and Friendly. He probably has a loving happy marriage, children and grandchildren and a ton of friends. Something us WoTankers cannot comprehend while we bang away with our Pixel tanks in our underwear on a Sunday morning...Alone....Hermit Kellerman.😂
He didn't want to work. I would pay the one who was working. You remind me of the man who replaced Saru. The actors name is Callum Keith. The episode on Discovery he is on are great because of him. He plays an Alpha on that new Discovery and on Battle Star Galactica 75. He is a Canadian.
a bit suspicious or pessimistic here, but watch the other guy while pops is helping you flip your omelette in the kitchen. other guy could be rifling through your drawers while you're distracted. or his phone addiction is actually working out for you in that situation. i make herbal tea all the time. i got a jar of mint water in my fridge right now. i often do rosemary and lemon with honey. sometimes black cherry.

Getting the contractor to feel like a friend, or a very friendly situation, is more likely to get them to do a more personable job than a half assed professional one in my humble opinion and experience.
I offer them drinks and chips too. I usually give each guy a beer to take home each day if they will take it.

You're absolutely right, I wouldn't be able to watch that video.
Get some real tea, “Yorkshire Gold ” and brew it strong. That’s tea!
You should post the entire transcript of this video as a Google review for those workers.
They are impatient people. It is annoying.
Its a sort of tic related thing. They have to wait, but also still want to be doing something.
A little bromance & fruit cocktail with the contractor hah Claus 😂
Dude, without your Tim Hortons , you're like the guys in the ads who need a snickers!
Wait until these people realize claus is on RUclips 😂😂😂

Every flavored tea is like that. If you are going to drink tea, stick to basic Earl Grey or similar.
I can't watch it like that either, Claus. Just awful. Not sure how people can play like that. I certainly couldn't.
be prepared for an interesting discussion about the final bill
I had a very similar experience with a Moroccan tenant of mine probably part of their culture that we ain't used to.
