Youtube daily Aug 16 2018

2017 was a pretty good year for Toyota.

4 out of the top 5 selling cars in the Philippines were Toyotas

and the Vios topped Autodeal's list for best selling car on our platform.

We even gave them a trophy for it

Buyer's Choice Award

which was a pretty nice trophy by the way.

Celebrating its 30th year in the country,

Toyota Motors Philippines Incorporated hopes to extend its lead with this,

the 2019 Vios.

From its wide sweeping halogen headlamps to its very new and very noticeable new cut on the grill,

which I like to call as the solution for those people that like to drive

their Vios' with the hood slightly open—not a good idea.

All the way up and over the car, down to the similarly wide tail lights and the rear bumper,

the Vios is identical all throughout the model range.

But it does have many many faces thanks to the number of variants that it has, which is 9.

And if you think about it,

that's almost as many as the remaining Avengers.

The overall shape of the bumpers and fog lamp housings are what set the aesthetics apart

between the model range with only the 1.5 models sporting DRLs.

So too are the body and blacked out side mirrors plus the size and shape of the rims and tires.

Including its full size spare which I like by the way,

the Vios has got 478 litres of space which is definitely more than enough

for all the passengers that this car can carry.

2 large adults? No problem whatsoever.

Excellent head room, excellent leg room thanks to the elevated seating position.

In fact, we had a large gentleman back here who was 5'11"

and 275 lbs and even he was comfortable.

No toys to speak of here in the back really.

No center arm rest, no cup holders, no 60-40 split sits,

no air vents.

It's basically a very simple ride.

Now, a lot of hard plastics can be found all around the cabin

including the center of the steering wheel,

which I find kind of odd but the dark color of the Vios does very well to mask it.

You've got a simple gauge up front with your trip computer.

What's easy on the eyes is the 7-inch infotainment system

which I wish it would double as a reverse camera,

unfortunately it isn't there.

Classy though is the air controls which I absolutely do like.

Despite being a finger print magnet, it's okay.

Oh and push start in a Vios?

Why not.

The seats are pretty well bolstered and they are comfortable.

I don't think that any driver will feel fatigued even on long drives,

well other than your bad driving position of course.

Visibility? Pretty good.

A pillars? Not that wide.

Side mirrors? Not that wide either.

My qualm isn't with the visibility outside the car but more

on what you can see inside the car.

See, during drives like these on provincial roads and highways,

I do turn on my headlamps even during the day and when I did,

I noticed that the instrument cluster inside and the infotainment system do dim.

I wanted to make it brighter 'cause I couldn't see it during the day.

Unfortunately, you can't do that.

It's fixed.

It's a nitpicking kind of a thing—yes, it is but I did notice it

and I wish it could be just a little bit brighter.

Ride comfort for the passengers?

Pretty standard really.

It is a Vios after all.

What isn't standard though is the steering. It is pretty heavy.

Now, some people will like it, other people will complain but it's a nice welcome because

it does make the smaller car feel much more stable which is really nice.

Across 9 variants of the Vios, there are 2 engines available.

The 1.5L which pushes out a 106 horses and a 140nm of torque

then there's the 1.3L which is limited to 98 horses and only pushes 123nm of torque.

Now, on the media drive with Toyota which saw us drive all the way from Manila to Angeles

to La Union and now to Baguio, that horsepower is—well, as you would expect,

a little bit on the limited side.

See, it will make it up the mountain.

Do we advise it? No, not really.

Why? Because your right foot will definitely turn to lead just trying to push that car up the mountain

and your consumption will probably skyrocket faster and higher

than the blood pressure of a giraffe really

which will make your blood pressure rise because on the way up from La Union to Baguio,

this thing did 6.5km per litre so it's possible but yeah—better for the city.

The most popular and most recognized passenger workhorse in the Philippines

is available starting at P659,000 all the way up to P1,095,000 for this, the 1.5 G Prime.

Worth it? Well consider this,

across the board, yes, all 9 variants have 7 airbags, ABS with electronic brake distribution,

stability control and hill-start assist.

So really, 2019 is starting to look very good for Toyota.

How to Track Business Expenses for Your Cleaning Company - Duration: 9:05.

Angela Brown: How do you keep track of your business expenses as a house cleaner?

We're going to talk about that today.

Hi there. I'm Angela Brown, and this is Ask A House Cleaner.

This is a show where you get to ask a house cleaning question,

and I get to help you find an answer.

Now over at SavvyCleaner.com, who is our sponsor of the day, we have a whole outlay of different

things that you might need as a business owner to run your house cleaning business.

So SavvyCleaner.com Alright, onto today's show, which is from

a house cleaner who has this question:

Hi Angela. My name is Maria.

And first of all, I want to thank you for wonderful videos and amazing advice you have

been giving to us.

I've been in business for two years, and over the last year, over the course of last year,

my business quadrupled, but so has my expenses.

And my question is: what is the best way to keep track of your business expenses?

Thank you so much.

Angela Brown: Alright, Maria.

Congratulations on your business and that it has amazing growth.

The answer to your question is this: I need for you to create a system that is simple

and organized.

That's it.

It doesn't have to be fancy, and it doesn't have to be expensive.

Now, the fact that you're asking this question suggests that there is no system in place,

so I want to share with you the system that I've used for 25 years.

It works really well for me.

It's super simple.

It's actually pretty clunky when you consider all of the software and the things that are

available on the market today.

But this works for me, and it does everything I need it to do.

Alright, so the very first thing that I have is Quicken.

It's a piece of software that I have on my computer, and it integrates with all of my

credit cards and my bank account.

So when a customer pays, it takes the one-time entry for me to train that entry that when

money comes in from Karen Barnes, that it automatically goes into

as a house cleaning expense.

So every time I get money from that particular account, it shows up in my Quicken software

as a house cleaning money coming in.

Every time my gas bill comes in, it shows up as a gas bill.

Every time my internet comes in, and you train all of the different money coming in and all

of the different bills going out, so that as you have different entries coming in, that

it syncs all of those automatically so that you're not doing all of that manually.

Okay. So, at the end of the year, when you go to use your TurboTax, which is another piece

of software that I highly recommend, and because it changes every year, and the tax laws change,

I also recommend that you get the updated version of that every year.

Well, Quicken and TurboTax sync really nicely.

And so when I go to do my TurboTax, it automatically imports everything from my Quicken.

And Quicken automatically imports everything from my bank account, from my PayPal account,

from my credit cards, all the different accounts that I have.

It sucks everything in, and it categorizes and organizes them.

So it's super, super easy.

Now, how you keep track of all the hard copy stuff: we're trying to go to a paperless office,

but we still live in a world where people send you bills, or clients or employees will

bring receipts to you for reimbursement.

Now the reimbursement from the clients might be if you broke something, and you had to

replace it.

So now you have a receipt that offsets that expense.

It shows where that money went.

And then also if you have an employee that had to go buy something special, and they

turn in a receipt for reimbursements, you have a hard copy of that as well.

So my system, and this is the clunky part, I just use 10-by-13 envelopes and a magic

marker.

And my system is: I open the envelope, I pull up the flap, and I just write on the very

top of the thing whatever it is that I'm working on.

And then I alphabetize it inside a milk crate, so it looks like this.

This is my whole system.

This is it.

So it's all alphabetized, and as bills come in, or as credit cards statements come in,

or as you have employees that bring you reimbursements, they all get filed automatically in this particular

milk case with the standing-up envelopes.

That's it.

It's a really super simple system.

And then at the end of the year, I take a banker's box, and I just grab all of the folders,

and they all just fit inside like this, which is pretty amazing.

And then I file them on a shelf.

I have a special shelf in a closet, where I file.

You'll see that this was 2006 taxes, and this is 2016.

So how that works is, I save the banker's box with all of the tax records.

It's just a big stack of envelopes like this that goes sideways in the box after they've

all been entered at the end of the year.

If there's any reconciliation, if I have to go back and look at anything if I need anything

for any reason, it's inside these folders, and we keep these on-hand for 10 years.

Now the reason that I do that is this: there are years that we have a warranty, for example,

that we need to find.

Where is that warranty?

Oh, it's in that particular file for the year that we purchased that item.

So keep all of our warranties.

We keep all of our employment records.

I keep everything in this one system.

And so if somebody gets fired or somebody has a complaint or something, I can go back

and I can pull up the records, and they're all in those banker boxes.

And they're all on file, and I can go back 10 years.

At the end of the 10 years, I pull everything out, and I shred it.

And I turn the box around, and I write a new number on it, and I start the new taxes for

that year.

So I actually recycle everything.

So it's a really great way to keep everything in one spot, and it takes up as much space

as a milk crate and a banker's box.

That's it.

That's my whole filing system.

I don't even have a fancy filing cabinet.

And then the rest of everything is online using Quicken and TurboTax.

That's it.

That's my system.

Now there are other programs on the market that integrate with fancy software and stuff

like that.

That, you may want to check out.

I'm not as familiar with those because I haven't used those.

But I have used the Quicken for as many years as I can remember.

And what I do know is this: it allows you to run category reports, so that you can see

everything that you've spent as far as cleaning supplies and detergents and gas for the car.

You can break down all of your vehicular expenses, and you program everything to where it goes

on your Schedule C. So when you go to get a tax return at the

end of the year, if you have money coming back, all of your expenses are already broken

down, and when you make your car payment, it automatically goes into that spot so that

at the end of the year, when you input into TurboTax, it just brings everything in, and

it throws it exactly where it needs to be, and on what lines.

So it really reduces the stress of the tax season, and it also allows you to keep track

of the money coming in and the money going out.

And then my system-- I guess there's one more system I have.

Right beside the seat of my car, I have a little packet, like you would put coupons

in, and I put all of my receipts that are out and about inside there.

So if I make a bank deposit, or if I put gas in my car, I put all the receipts right in

there, and then those, I file, and they go inside this manila envelope filing system.

And I do my accounting every Sunday morning.

It takes about 15 minutes, and I sit down, and I just double-check everything, that everything

went into the right category.

Sometimes it doesn't because I didn't train it properly.

I've got to go back and retrain that entry.

And then I got to make sure that all the bills got paid and that the payroll checks cleared

and all those things.

It takes about 15 minutes, but that's it.

15 minutes a week to do your accounting, and then everything is filed.

It's organized.

You know exactly where it is, and it doesn't pile up.

You don't have bills sitting on the cupboard.

You don't have bills in one room, bills in another room.

It doesn't get out of hand, and it doesn't get overwhelming.

But if your business is growing really fast, you need some kind of a really simple system

that works for you.

We've always been a fairly small company.

We haven't had thousands of employees.

And if you do have thousands of employees, you're going to need a different system.

But if you're a small company and you just have a few employees, or even if you work

by yourself, this is a system that works.

It's proven.

I've used it for years.

It keeps everything tidy and organized, and I know exactly what money's coming in and

what money is going out.

So it just makes it really, really easy to maneuver.

So I would recommend that you create some sort of a system.

And like I say, my system's super cheap.

You're just going to invest in some envelopes and a magic market and a milk crate.

And the two pieces of software: Quicken and TurboTax.

Alright.

That's my two cents for today, and until we meet again,

leave the world a cleaner place than when you found it.

Who was Ebenezer Cobb Morley? "football's founding father" Ebenezer Cobb Morley. - Duration: 2:00.

Who was Ebenezer Cobb Morley?

How a Victorian lawyer ended up writing the rules of football and helped found the FA

Next time your football team is awarded a penalty, spare a thought for Ebenezer Cobb

Morley.

Before he set down the rules of football in 1863, the game was much more chaotic than

the version we know today.

Morley was born in Hull on August 16, 1831, 187 years ago today as marked with a Google

Doodle.

The son of a minister, Morley grew up a sports enthusiast and went on to study law before

he left East Yorkshire for London aged 27.

After joining Barnes Football Club in London, he realised that the game would be benefit

from more structure and regulation.

He wrote to the sports newspaper Bell's Life to make the case for a more organised

game.

A meeting followed at Freeman's Tavern where Morley was joined by members of football clubs

across England, who all had input into the rulemaking before Morley drafted his list

of 13 rules, which became the standard of play in England.

Morley's laws helped reduce violence on the field — his 13th rule gives some indication

of how unruly football used to be: 'No player shall wear projecting nails, iron plates,

or gutta percha on the soles or heels of his boots.'

However he did think players should be able to "hack the front leg".

He also formalised the crucial rule we now call offsides, which prevents players from

permanently stationing themselves behind an opponent's defensive line, waiting for a

pass.

Morley later helped establish the Football Association , which is still the governing

body for football in Great Britain.

In 1863 he was elected the Honorary Secretary of the FA, holding the post until 1866 and

president of the FA from 1867 to 1874.

Other groups from various countries made crucial developments to football as well, but thanks

to Morley "the beautiful game" became less brutal, the action more spread out across

the field, and is played the way it is today.

All about floor drains - DSP 262 - Duration: 12:43.

>>Jake: True love.

>>Graham: Cool.

Cool.

I'm Graham.

>>Jake: And I'm Jake.

>>Graham: And we have some more answers to your construction questions.

For instance, today's question is, "Trench drains, regular circular drains, or dot dot

dot no drains?"

>>Jake: Wow.

>>Graham: Sorry, I almost feel like the "dot, dot, dot" in here implies something was wrong

with that option or, can I just sneak this in there, what if I spend no money on drains,

is that okay?

>>Jake: Well technically you agreed to this, right?

No, that's clearly not the case.

No drains is a mistake.

>>Graham: Yeah, and I assume they mean no drains maybe other than the shower drains.

>>Jake: Yeah.

>>Graham: If you have showers in your rooms and you don't have drains, then-

>>Jake: No, I assume that they mean just no drains at all.

>>Graham: Well that's a serious problem, then.

>>Jake: Okay, alright.

Maybe I should dial back my disbelief then.

Okay, alright.

Just a shower drain, then, is what they're saying.

>>Graham: Maybe?

Or I mean certainly otherwise- >>Jake: Maybe-

>>Graham: - know that definitely put in drains.

Your shower, in fact, needs a drain.

>>Jake: So the question here is "Do we put drainage in our dressing area and near our

spa pack?"

Because, again, we're gonna assume the shower drain is there.

So dressing area, spa pack.

>>Graham: Or maybe they even have their showers in a different room or something weird like

that.

>>Jake: Oh, that's a good point.

That's what you get for assuming.

That's what I get for assuming.

>>Graham: That's what they get for sending in a short form, abstract question.

>>Jake: Okay.

If you have no showers- >>Graham: A really good short form, abstract

question.

>>Jake: - in your room, no drains, still a terrible idea.

Because Epsom salts, they're going to get everywhere.

That water is everywhere.

>>Graham: I guess that's something.

We kinda started out that way, too.

Like, we had our shower, which was a little self-contained, little had a lip, like there's

a shower pan- >>Jake: There's a dropped in pan

>>Graham: - and doors and everything.

So all the shower water got drained, but then, outside of that we didn't really have any

drains in our rooms, and- >>Jake: No, we had to clean it constantly.

>>Graham: Yeah, so it is possible, but it sucks.

There's a lot of salt water cleanup, that saltwater dries on things.

If you can just spray it down and wash it down a drain-

>>Jake: So much easier from every single transition.

>>Graham: It's orders of magnitudes easier.

>>Jake: We were backing ourselves out of rooms, changing out shammies regularly.

Because once you saturate one with salt, you're just pushing salt around the room.

Also, building materials.

The floors, that's where we see the most damage from these Epsom salts.

It's because it's sitting there, it's pooling there.

You know, water is pervasive.

Salt is pervasive.

When they team up, they're this creepy little duo.

They'll do whatever they want.

So, yeah.

Floor drains are just super important just to wash away all those Epsom salts.

>>Graham: Okay so I actually don't know this, but what's your preference between circular

drains and trench drains, if we were to build Float On from the beginning?

In Float On, we have circular drains.

>>Jake: We do.

>>Graham: That's almost - >>Jake: We do.

>>Graham: That's what we could add in, kind of.

>>Jake: Right, but with all of our renovations, we've had a choice about trench drains at

one point in time.

And what he's saying about that is just one long drain, either on the side of the room,

and everything sloping towards that, or in the middle of the room.

I will say that if it's in the middle of the room, it becomes one of the design elements

for the room, so that's something to take into consideration.

And also, if you change the tank in the room ever in the future, will that drain still

be where it's supposed to be?

Alright, so for me, I think it depends on what the waterproofing material is over your

floor.

>>Graham: So like whether it's a laminate, or an epoxy, or tile, or-

>>Jake: Yeah, exactly.

Like if you're using some kind of sheet flooring with heat-welded seams and everything like

that, or if you're doing like an epoxy resin system.

If you're doing an epoxy resin system, you're gonna encounter the same problems with a trench

drain that you are with regular drains.

It's just that bond on the edge of the drain.

I would almost argue that a long, straight drain, you can get a better, cleaner line

around that.

You know what I mean?

So maybe we're not even looking at circular drains.

Maybe we're looking at rectangular drains, might be the ideal thing.

Because right now we're keying in in a circle, and I think a long trench drain, you might

be able to get a better key in, which is basically grinding out the concrete right at the edge

of the drain and then letting that reservoir fill with the epoxy resin so that you get

a really good bond between your protective flooring and that drain body.

If we're talking about sheet flooring, I would love to use a trench drain.

There is not one exists that is capable of clamping the surface level membrane in place.

When I say that, it's a lot of words right there.

>>Graham: It is a lot.

>>Jake: Yeah.

>>Graham: I was like, "Is he going to explain this or just breeze past it?"

>>Jake: No, I'm just going to breeze past it.

I assume everyone is on the same page.

No.

So, surface level membrane, that's what that sheet flooring is.

It's a membrane that's on the surface that's protecting your substrate from water.

So surface level membrane clamping floor drain, which basically mean I'm taking that surface

level membrane, I'm clamping it down into the drain body, and then I cut a hole where

drainage actually is.

So the idea there is that all the moisture, all the water, all the Epsom salts that come

into that drain, they flow over that sheet flooring until they're actually recessed down

at a lower level and in the drain body itself, so there's no possible way for salts or moisture

to back up and start destroying your substrate underneath.

And that's far, far, far superior for sheet flooring type of drains.

The old, classic way to do it is to take your sheet flooring and cut around the drain.

We've seen that fail many times.

At Float On, actually.

We had- >>Graham: And I guess, to backup a little

bit- >>Jake: Sorry, I get on a roll and just-

>>Graham: It's good, it's good.

>>Jake: Passionate about floor drains >>Graham: So the surface clamping membrane

drains- >>Jake: Yes

>>Graham: - are not available in trench drains, at least right now.

We haven't found them.

Maybe- >>Jake: We haven't found them.

We have heard in folklore, like secret salt circles-

>>Graham: Passed down through the generations- >>Jake: -people talking about the salts.

No, we have heard there are a few people trying to fabricate them because, you know, a talented

metal worker could definitely make something like this.

We've heard of somebody trying to do it in Detroit and we've heard of somebody doing

it over in England.

We have not got confirmation, nor have we been able to get our hands on these.

And once we do, then we'll let you know.

We'll write a blog about it probably, because again, we're passionate about floor drains.

>>Graham: So moving on.

The damage that can happen if you don't use these is potentially copious.

>>Jake: No, for sure.

Think about it.

If you don't use this floor drain, you're cutting a sheet flooring up to the edge of

the drain.

And then you're banking on that this contractor, that she nailed it, that she just basically

got a perfect cut all the way around, and on top of that, the adhesive that's holding

your sheet flooring down, hopefully it's an epoxy based adhesive and not just some water

based glue.

Hopefully that has a solid bond all the way around.

Because it only takes one small pinhole, one small air bubble, one small nick with your

blade, and then all of a sudden, a little bit of moisture gets in there and it's impregnated

with salt, and then the salt crawls.

We've seen it destroy concrete.

We've cut out around- So we had to do this.

Okay, we almost got into when I was on the train a few minutes ago.

I might be back on the train, actually.

>>Graham: It's fine.

It's a good train.

Just make sure the audience has the tickets, too.

>>Jake: Make sure you guys are all with it.

Alright, everybody get on the train, alright.

Okay.

So, if you don't do this, you're gonna end up having to cut out the sheet flooring around

it.

And if you come out to the Float Conference, you'll be able to see this.

You can come check out our rooms.

We have older sheet flooring that we've had for six years in a couple of those rooms.

We did not use these newer style of drains and you see the damage, and then you'll see

the repair, obviously, because we repaired it.

The last note on that is that these are very, very expensive drains.

I don't want you to have sticker shock.

A standard drain, 30 bucks, whatever.

These drains, $400 to $600.

We've seen some models as high as about $800.

Which adds up when you start adding all those floor drains into your room.

And then the question becomes, "How many floor drains do I want in my room?"

Alright.

>>Graham: It's weird when you start asking your parents for floor drains for your birthday.

It's like when I realized- >>Jake: Not unnerved, though.

>>Graham: -that I'm no longer a child.

I'm an adult now.

>>Jake: "I would really like the Zurn."

>>Graham: So the bottom line is as a result of this, if you are using sheet flooring,

like Altro or Takiron- >>Jake: Forbo, there's a whole bunch of them.

>>Graham: You would probably not use trench drains just because they're not available

in really nice sheet floor friendly- >>Jake: That model is not available yet.

>>Graham: Okay.

So then for epoxy, though, you think either one could work.

>>Jake: I think either one would work.

>>Graham: And potentially, the trench drains would actually be better.

>>Jake: I think so.

Like in practice, right?

Again, we just have single drains in our rooms that have epoxy resin, so we're keying in

around those and they're actually circular drains.

In hindsight, 2015 being what it is, I would like a square drain.

Something that's easier to get a good, solid edge around.

And in those rooms, we're always playing with different products.

We tried one of those cheaper, just for the drain body itself.

That's what's below the hair strainer and actually connecting to your plumbing, just

in case anyone doesn't know what a drain body is.

We tried one of those chromed ones and we're seeing that rot out, you know what I mean?

So, yeah, interesting stuff.

>>Graham: What about for tile?

>>Jake: Floor drain.

Tile kind of the same thing.

You're cutting your tile around a floor drain and you're using epoxy grout.

>>Graham: I guess it's very similar to the epoxy you're using.

>>Jake: Again, we're just covering, protecting our surface with some armor.

And that armor has to get to the edge of the drain, and that's the weak point in the system.

No epoxy system's technically seamless, I guess.

Tile systems, clearly we like epoxy grout and a lot of seams, and we actually don't

even like tile that much on our floors, just for slip resistance and what not.

But that's a whole 'nother podcast.

>>Graham: Yeah, I'd say it's a tricky thing if you try to use tile.

It's why, if you've been listening to this podcast for a while, we bring up laminate

floors and epoxy resin floors so often.

Those really do seem to be the least problematic of the floors you can install.

Not absent of problems, but least problematic.

>>Jake: Alright.

Anything else about drains?

>>Graham: I will say it's less to do with the drains itself, but the concrete sloping

going up to the drains- >>Jake: Literally the same idea.

>>Graham: I've just seen so many bad concrete sloping jobs, which is a good thing to pay

attention to.

Definitely invest good money in finding a good concrete guy, because if they mess that

up, it is not a fun experience as a float center owner.

But what I was going to say is I feel like I've seen less problems with concrete sloping

leading up to a trench drain.

Probably just because you don't need to slope in a circle, which is a harder thing for us

to do.

You just need to make a linear slope, almost in a straight line, going from one side of

a room to another, which is really nice- >>Jake: And you only have one grate there,

as opposed to if you're dropping multiple single drains in.

You're looking at several drainage areas- >>Graham: Kind of overlapping in a weird mathematical

way- >>Jake: And so how do you do that?

Either you're busting up the slab and then pouring each of those individually, which

can be expensive, or you're building up a portion of the slab, where your tank is, and

then you're setting your slopes down to where the curtain grate is.

A contractor or a building owner may not want you cutting open their slab, or you might

be in a situation where on a post-tensioned slab over a parking garage that's 16 inches

thick, or something like that.

Sloping is definitely a huge, huge thing.

So getting a talented mason is important.

>>Graham: Yeah, and I feel like a trench drain is a little easier to slope with.

>>Jake: For sure.

I agree with you.

Absolutely.

>>Graham: I'm in favor of a trench drain.

I think that's it.

I think that's the only other thing we didn't cover so far that comes to mind.

>>Jake: Alright.

Cool.

>>Graham: So, yeah.

Good question.
