2026-03-25 09:26  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 26s]: Great awakening, Florian. Yeah, I looked over the warranty. Looks pretty good. However, um, we have to add 40-year um, product warranty for the metal. And the one-year maintenance thing that you did is pretty nice too.
2026-03-25 09:26  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 10s]: And uh this is on my email, a website now, but the thing is how do I access it? I would have to get a special link.
2026-03-25 09:40  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 270s]: Hi Victor, great awakening. Um, okay, yeah, I can add the 40-year product warranty for sure. Um, yeah, honestly, I don't even understand the warranty part that well. But, um, yeah, basically also I I'm wondering if the bottom section there, um, ob du das jetzt immer ausfüllen musst, dieses äh diesen table with the product that you used exactly. Um, yeah, unless you have, I guess you could have it, uh, if you if you tell me what product you use it, like if you want it to be always auto automatically filled, like if it's always going to be the same product kind of thing, then, you know, you can have it so it's, uh, whatever you fill in is going to be basically the default. Um, and then you don't always have to fill it in, you know. And also the WCB number at the top right, um, yeah, that can also be hardcoded. Um, so it's pretty much on the document by default and if if it changes, you can always change it quickly. And, uh, yeah, you have to access the PDF document through it's actually not a PDF yet, it's an HTML. It's basically kind of like a website within your website, because, um, PDFs are usually not like you can't edit them the way it you can with it. So, did you receive the link that I sent you per email? It's basically that link. You just have to keep it safe somewhere. I can actually, I could shorten it for you or you can shorten it, um, with a URL shortener. Um, or I could maybe make it a different link for you that you can remember in case you lose, so it's basically your website skycrew.com and then forward slash and then something that you you, you know, make up yourself. But then it wouldn't be secure unless you want it, uh, if you want it password protected, uh, that can be done as well, that when you enter a certain link that you get prompted with a password. Just, because there is people out out there on the internet that scour the web for whatever personal information they can find from people and that can be exposed, you know. There's like bots and stuff that scan websites to see vulnerabilities and if they find that your PDF thing there, it does, I guess, have some personal information from you and, you know, and then maybe the clients as well, they could definitely get that information. So, yeah, um, yeah, if people people search just regularly on Google, they're not going to find it. Like they can't just download your web page. It is encrypted a little bit, but not with a password, you know. So if you want, I can also implement that. And, uh, yeah, let me know. Yeah, und lies es vielleicht noch mal ganz genau durch. Make sure if there's anything else that you want me to change, das kann man alles machen. Um, yeah, if you like the product, uh, section there, wo du immer den Produkt eingeben musst und so. Und auch, ähm, und yeah, what screws, I don't know, the the screws part, what fasteners you use at the very bottom, the last page. Und ja, uh, like I said, it's an HTML, so there's a way you can even save, um, I would recommend filling it out and then saving the PDF first, exporting it, you know. But there's also to, you know, you can save drafts, but then, uh, if you switch devices or something happens, like if let's say you clear your browser completely, then those will be lost, you know. But you can download a JSON file. It's pretty much like a little backup file for the whatever you filled out and then you can load the JSON file. Sorry, it's a little confusing. But yeah, if you fill out a form and then you want to have it like you're going to use reuse that form a lot, let's say, with all the filled out information, you can save it as a JSON file physically to your phone. It's going to be a little tiny file and then that you can always load again, you know. Just to clarify.
2026-03-25 09:40  Florian Disterhoft: Sorry, a little audiobook. Maybe you can listen to it while you're driving or something 😄
2026-03-25 12:21  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 40s]: Yeah, Flo, I don't even know where to start replying now. Um, the first part looks nice. We just have to add 40-year warranty for the product itself and that's all I really need. The lower section, um, I don't think I will need that. But I do like the idea of um, having the count and stuff. It's kind of interesting. It's just more work. But fasteners and screws, I don't have to include that. I mean, did they ask that on the website from the from Build Contracting?
2026-03-25 12:22  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 24s]: Because what we also can do is just um I always had an Ontario this and this address, this roof has this and this many workmanship warranty and this many year product warranty. And that was basically all. And then terms and conditions, what's excluded, you know?
2026-03-25 12:23  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 57s]: Um, yeah, if you can do a password, that would be great. I mean, it can also be on the main page. They can just be a login section or you don't think that's a good idea? Because I know my old email, I was able to log in. It was a whole database. So all different people, sales people, everybody got a login and they logged in and put all their estimates and everything and there was these sheets like that one, the second part, where it says how many trim pieces, how many square feet, how many whatever color and everything, what gauge. They we always put that in online and submitted it and then the boss could always see each sale, all the products that were used. Stuff like that.
2026-03-25 12:25  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 16s]: Just a feedback for you for you. Um this morning someone replied on the website and I got a lead. Out in Coldstream. So yeah, it seems to work pretty good.
2026-03-27 15:49  Florian Disterhoft: Required Closeout Documents

2026-03-27 15:50  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 43s]: Hey Viktor. Sorry for the late reply. Um yeah, so this is what what was in the email, what they wanted you to have for the warranty letter. But maybe that's kind of just a generic thing, maybe they're not too picky. But yeah, I can definitely update that with a 40-year warranty on the product itself. Und auch that's actually a good idea mit auf der website. Maybe just have a button like a lock oder so that for the average user they they're gonna ignore that, but then for you it could serve as a really good uh database, you know?
2026-03-27 15:51  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 61s]: Gonna try to split the voice messages, that's not need so lange ist für dich. Äh ja, damit es so eine database ist, so you click on it and then it it's kind of like an online storage even. Like für forms und so. Like warranty letters und vielleicht noch andere Sachen. Dass auch deine Mitarbeiter da auch Zugriff haben. They could even have a different password and be a little bit more limited than you are. And you have full access to change, delete and what not, you know. Um yeah, ich denke dann Montag hätte ich dann das machen. Fix die the also the the warranty letter, because you need that ASAP and then try to get that website also polished up with the things that you asked. So yeah, Monday I'm gonna be at home so I can I can do that. Diese Woche musste ich anpacken ein bisschen auf der Baustelle, so. Ja.
2026-03-27 15:51  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 18s]: I actually just got off the phone with them. They just want the warranty certificate. You know that first page that you made, that's more than we need. And I think we should remove the WCB number. Or is that a common thing to be in a warranty? Can't remember.
2026-03-27 15:52  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 35s]: Okay, you were faster in replying with your message. Yeah, I can remove the WCB. I think it just uh I got suggested that because it looks more professional. Um but okay, yeah, I'll clean it up. I'll just make it the first page and uh maybe I'll have another version in case you do want the other pages. Um a version where you also have access to that, you know? Manchmal ist es ja auch maybe you want to give um more details, warranty or so, you know, but yeah.
2026-03-27 15:52  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 19s]: Yeah, I would like to have that actually. Forms for, yeah, warranties. Um, I also have to make some contracts for subcontractors and hourly workers. Kind of like what Eugene did. There's a few things, man. I can keep you busy here for a little while.
2026-03-27 15:52  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 21s]: Yeah, correct. So, let's say David or like any other subcontractor, they can have their own login to the website and they'll also be limited to whatever they can see or use. Um, yeah, that's how it was, that's how we had it set up in Ontario and it worked pretty good.
2026-03-27 15:53  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 7s]: It's funny. I didn't even finish listening to your message and I already replied and then you literally say exactly what I said.
2026-03-27 15:53  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 21s]: Ja, genau. Wir reden so ein bisschen aneinander vor vom vorbei, ne? The Voxer app would be actually, that's one feature that was really nice that you could instantly listen to the voice message as the other person is speaking, you know? That was one good thing. But yeah, Voxer, kennst du noch?
2026-03-27 15:54  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 22s]: Okay, dann ja, those things I can do most likely. And then, yeah, and then you can also add new users, let's say you have another worker and then, you know, so they kind of have have their own sections, nicht dass die bei anderen Leuten reingucken können, you know? Pretty sure we can do that.
2026-03-27 16:12  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 20s]: See how we had in Ontario, um, contractors had even their own email with like Skycrew, you know what I mean? Do you think that's possible to create an email like Florian Distelhoff at Skycrewltd or whatever.com?
2026-03-27 16:13  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 20s]: Oh yeah, I remember Voxer. Dude, Voxer was so cool. That was like the first cool app. I remember I was telling everybody about it because you can it's a radio, you know, like a ham radio. As soon as you speak, you hear it. You can hear the person. And you can see the location from when where they sent the thing. So it's pretty cool.
2026-03-31 12:52  Viktor Hekalov: Hey Florian, how’s it going? Any update on the warranties?
2026-03-31 12:59  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 66s]: Hey Viktor. Yeah, I'm actually actively working on the things that you uh told me. I just didn't want to give you an update yet, just 'cause I'm in the middle of building something here. I think you're gonna like it. Uh but yeah, the warranties is done already. Um I can send you a link to that and then also I guess I'll send you what I'm building for the website, just like you said to log in and then to have like those features. Um yeah, that's an halt, feel the second, the schnock, ausbugle, moose, aber, do guns, yeah, my cooking, no. Just to get an idea and then maybe you can give me some headers, um like how you want, for example, the estimate tool to be, if you need any other fields, oder so. But yeah, it's still in development. Same for the quote and then job sheet. Yeah, must have, I'm a rank, cooking, no. I'll send you the links. Uh 'cause right now nothing is pushed to the cloud. Um I'm building everything locally and then once it's good and final, then come on, that's in the cloud, that's in, no.
2026-03-31 13:00  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 8s]: I want to see what's going on. I'm just going to need to have the warranties by the end of the week.
2026-03-31 14:15  Florian Disterhoft: [FILE: Skycrew Staff Portal — Project-First Redesign Mockup.pdf]
2026-03-31 14:16  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 50s]: Hey, so I just sent you the PDF. The way it looks like without the um yeah, the material data sheet or whatever. So it's yeah, it's a more simple version. And um yeah, unfortunately it doesn't fit on one single page. Uh unless you want to cut out some information, but yeah, it's going to be really tough to put it exactly on one single page. Um and yeah, I'm I'm still working on giving you a preview of the the Skycrew what is it called? Staff portal. Yeah. Um yeah, that also takes a little bit. I'm working on that right now. Just so I can even share it with you so you can see it and test it out.
2026-03-31 15:08  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 6s]: Um yeah, the warranty looks good. Thank you. That's really nice.

2026-03-31 23:32  Florian Disterhoft: https://www.skycrewltd.ca/portal/
2026-03-31 23:34  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 102s]: Hey Victor. Sorry for swamping you with messages here. Um yeah, I just wanted to give you uh just update. I guess I'll try to do that next time. Um so you kind of have an idea of what the things that I'm working on. Um yeah. So uh the portal, like the link that I sent you. Um the mobile version is not at all optimized. I was just focusing on the website version or the or the desktop version. Um yeah, first to get it built, you know, and then usually after once it's built for desktop, then optimization for mobile mobility starts. So it actually looks good for mobile, 'cause that's mostly where you're going to use it from, right? Um yeah, maybe you can look at it maybe on your laptop or something or tablet. Um yeah. Just just an idea, you know, what it looks like. It's in the very beginning stages. Um da kann man noch vieles optimieren. And a lot of the buttons probably won't even work. But yeah, maybe you can let me know what you think. Um if you want me to continue in that. Um and then yeah, so you can have a system, you know, that is kind of like you explained. I went off the messages that you sent me. Um before about what you imagined and um I tried to put it into action, you know. So this is as far as I got so far. And um yeah. Uh, was wollte ich noch sagen? Yeah, so. I guess we'll just go with that for now and then let me know your feedback.
2026-03-31 23:39  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 104s]: Uh what I wanted to say was, um, yeah, the reason why this is the link. Uh I first had a lock on the website. Um, like an icon beside the social buttons, like beside Facebook, Instagram, and that other one. Um, and then there was a lock button, and then you would click it, and that's where you would log in, you know. Um, yeah, it's up to you. I can bring that back, so it's always on the website. Uh, but yeah, I think every everyday users are gonna think what is that and click on it, like maybe contractors and stuff, or I mean, sorry, um, builders, uh, or even other users are gonna look at your website and they might get confused. Um, but it could also be, they could also just uh, understand that this is something that you use and that they don't have access, you know. But yeah, since you don't have that many subcontractors, I thought we'd better if it's hidden, and then they can access it just through this direct link. And, um, yeah, once I polish the mobile version, it'll, there will be a way to install this as a like a app kind of thing. It's like a web web app. It'll be like a app on your on your phone, you know. Uh not from the App Store, but just install through this website, like a shortcut, and then they can always access it through that and you as well, you know. But yeah, it's up to you. I can also bring that lock button back, so it's visible on the website, you know. Either or, it'll get there.
2026-03-31 23:53  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 25s]: Hey Florian. Yeah, thanks for the update. Um, I'll probably check it out tomorrow. But yeah, I like the idea of it being an app. Quick access makes it a lot easier. Yeah, I'll check it out and I'll let you know in the morning.
2026-03-31 23:57  Viktor Hekalov: Is there a code?
2026-03-31 23:57  Florian Disterhoft: Oh ya forgot to tell you, its 2026
2026-04-02 09:32  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 61s]: Great awakening, brother. Hey, uh, listen, I took a quick peek there. Looks pretty good. I like it. I like that app that you're building there. Um, back to warranties. Um, is it final now? Because I need to get some sent out by this week, end of this week. Or latest Monday morning. So I just want to make sure that the warranties are, it's ready. One thing I wanted to mention, I believe, or what is your, what do you think? Do you think there should be a number count for the warranty? Do you know what I mean? Like, it'll be like a warranty number. We used to have that in Ontario, and I don't, I didn't see it on, uh, on the one you created. But let me know what you think.
2026-04-02 09:51  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 60s]: Hey Victor. Um, awesome, yeah, I'm glad that you like it. Um, yeah, it's gonna look much better for the mobile site, um, once I optimize it for it, because right now I was just focusing to actually build it on for the desktop site, and then I always optimize it after. And, uh, yeah, I did optimize, um, a lot of the mobile stuff yesterday, like the mobile view on the main website, like the map and so. Kannst mal gucken, da sind so, um, yeah, the map is updated and, uh, warranty stamp. Actually, yeah, on the desktop site it's looks really beautiful. On the mobile muss ich noch bisschen da tweaken. So, um, but yeah, I'm gonna I can do that, um, tomorrow, I think, most likely, because yeah, heute bin ich auf der Arbeit. Hier auf bei Avalanche I'm doing siding. I thought I would come out and get a little bit of physical work in, you know. Nicht zu viel rum, nicht zu viel sitzen, nicht rumsitzen, aber sitzen, you know.
2026-04-02 09:52  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 72s]: And yeah, for the warranties, um yeah, maybe I'll do that tonight. It should be a pretty quick fix. Um yeah, it's basically ready, like it's pretty much working. Um yeah, just a warranty number, I think you're right. I think I saw that somewhere uh that other companies are doing that. Yeah, wäre cool, wenn da auf jeden Fall, when you have warranty number, because then because some, you know, projects you might have a slightly different warranty and then it's, you know, better for you to track. So yeah, I can make it so it'll automatically generate a number and then keep going with each new project. Um yeah, it's pretty much built, like man kann schon the warranties uh you can create them on the mobile site as well as on the desktop site. You just have to uh create a new project with the right address, the name and stuff and that that's going to be logged in and then when you go under warranties tab and then you can include the signature or not and then preview the PDF and then you can save it. But yeah, I'll add that feature um yeah, with the warranty number tonight after work and then then you can send it off tomorrow.
2026-04-03 14:37  Florian Disterhoft: [FILE: (File not included. Change data exporting settings to download.)] [VIDEO]
2026-04-03 15:23  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 6s]: Yeah, looks pretty good. I'll have to get decent with that. But yeah, I can start the warranties at least.
2026-04-03 15:30  Florian Disterhoft: Ok, I can definitely add the lock button on the main site so you don't have to go to the  /portal every time. So it's easy accessible. And on mobile it's just gonna be hidden underneath the hamburger icon beside the social buttons.
2026-04-03 15:30  Florian Disterhoft: [PHOTO]
2026-04-10 17:33  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO] Would I be able to upload videos?
2026-04-10 17:36  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 88s]: Hey Viktor. Yeah, I was actually, I was gonna contact you today because I was working on the portal today. And uh, yeah, I did a lot of fine tuning. Just things that didn't look good. Uh, mainly on the desktop site, so yeah, the mobile site will follow right after. And uh, to answer your question, yeah, for sure I can implement that. Um, I didn't get there yet, but I definitely want to do that for you. So you can upload videos as well. Ich muss halt noch genau reingucken, exactly uh, the best way where the files would be stored, you know? Cause um, you always wanna have some, some kind of backup location in case something goes wrong with the server oder so. Um, and then where you have access to the media files oder so, you know? Like it could be Google Drive, OneDrive, some kind of cloud service or maybe even Telegram, you know? That you have like one chat, uh, let's say one channel and then maybe for each project you can have like a sub channel and then like it lives all in one, you know, channel, Skycrew and then there's like sub channels and then each one has all the media files get saved to automatically, synced. Um, yeah, I can look into different options for you.
2026-04-10 17:37  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO] This is a bit confusing quote and estimate lol
We need one that’s saying purchase order or P.O. With a disclaimer for the subs
2026-04-10 17:38  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 94s]: But yeah, I just wanted to touch base to like um yeah, I just don't want to work on things for a long time and then later you kind of get a shock how like because everything takes time, right? Um yeah, ich habe gerade geguckt, uh the amount of time I already spent on everything that I did. Um let me pull up the hours. It's already 51.5 hours. Um but yeah, that's with all the changes that I did to the website and everything else. Um yeah. So, I mean, I'm trying to work as efficient as possible, but this portal definitely is going to be save you money in the long time, I think, in the long run, because it's pretty much um replaces you wouldn't need an like a invoice creator pretty much, an estimate creator, quote, you know, like all of those things, so it would kind of live all on this website, right? And also for the subcontractors. So you wouldn't have to have like multiple apps, everything would be on the website. So down the road it could save you money. So, but yeah, du musst halt schon verstehen, dass es schon ziemlich viel Arbeit, because everything has to work properly, you know, and it has to be future-proof. Das kann nicht in zwei, drei Jahren all of a sudden like something doesn't work. So yeah.
2026-04-10 17:38  Viktor Hekalov: I’m testing it right now with a new project I sold today
2026-04-10 17:38  Florian Disterhoft: Ok perfect, I need feedback like this, than I can immediately change it 😉
2026-04-10 17:39  Viktor Hekalov: Yea I want to set up a server at my new location 😂
2026-04-10 17:40  Florian Disterhoft: Perfect, ya for work stuff 3 locations might even be better.
1. Files saved on the website
2. Saved to a cloud provider (Google Drive, Dropbox, or Telegram)
3. Backed up on Home server
2026-04-10 17:40  Viktor Hekalov: I actually like my simple invoices app for invoices and estimates
2026-04-10 17:41  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO] I want to replace this
2026-04-10 17:42  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 47s]: Hey Flo, um yeah, so my main objective here is every estimate that I do like when I'm on site and I meet the client, take pictures of the project. Die sind alle auf meinem Handy gespeichert. And it'll be nice if I can have this on the portal, on the website. You just log in, take pictures, take measurements, do the whole, do everything. And then I can have a subcontractor log in and if the job is awarded to them, they can log in and check out all the details and decide if they want to take the job or not.
2026-04-10 17:43  Viktor Hekalov: [FILE: Roofing PO 2025-12-05.pdf]
2026-04-10 17:44  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 30s]: This is a perfect example here, the last image of uh a purchase order. The job gets approved, it gets a contract it gets awarded with the job. The total amount is there. Um The terms and conditions, which is really neat. I really want to do something like that.
2026-04-10 17:46  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 5s]: Oh wow, 51 hours already, eh? That was quick.
2026-04-10 17:47  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 45s]: And again, it would be nice to add my brother David on there with a passcode, whatever. And it would be also nice to send this form, this sheet to, let's say my brother Andre. He doesn't officially work for me, but he does drops on and off here and there to fill his blanks, his time for his workers. It would be nice to send an invitation link to him. He clicks on it, opens it, has temporary access, I guess, to fill out whatever he needs to fill out and send it back. Do you know what I mean? Does that make sense?
2026-04-10 17:48  Viktor Hekalov: Let’s do #3
2026-04-10 18:23  Florian Disterhoft: Yup, ok for sure that can be done and might actually be easier if the invoice and quote part is already taken care of.
2026-04-13 16:09  Florian Disterhoft: Hey, could you send me your credit card information? I just need it to connect one of the storage options for the website, for the portal. You won't get charged anything yet 😉
2026-04-13 16:10  Florian Disterhoft: I started working on the portal today again in the afternoon (with the new plan)
2026-04-13 16:12  Florian Disterhoft: 10GB is free for storage. Anything over that is 0.015c. 
So if you end up using 100GB it would only be $1.35/month, but we would move it to your own Cloud Server later on anyways
2026-04-13 16:14  Florian Disterhoft: It's okay, I used my card for now. We can update it later on.
2026-04-13 20:07  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 23s]: Hey Flo, uh sorry for the late reply. Um, is it possible to have the storage backed up on a server? I can just get a server at my house and it could be backed up in here. Or is that not an option? Even though I mean, I don't care, buck 35 a month is nothing anyway, but Yeah, just wondering.
2026-04-13 20:46  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 62s]: Hey, yeah, I think it is possible for sure. Um, yeah, just setting up the server also is going to take time and um, yeah, ordering it, setting it up and everything. Uh, we can probably start off with the way we have it right now, just with the online storage there. It's basically connected wherever your website is hosted, that's where the things will live. I mean, it's going to be on the website. But then also on Cloudflare. So yeah, basically two locations. Up to 10 gigs and then after that, it's going to basically just cost a little bit. But until then, um, yeah, dann können wir auf jeden Fall, bis dahin auf jeden Fall den Server machen. That server option. Um, yeah, this is just to get started and you can probably have um, for 10 gigs, you can have a couple hundred pictures already. So you can have like 20, 30 projects probably going. But yeah. Just to get started, you know?
2026-04-13 20:48  Viktor Hekalov: 10 gb is plenty
2026-04-13 20:48  Florian Disterhoft: Yup, should be enough for now
2026-04-13 20:48  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 14s]: Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. If you can have 10 projects uploaded, once they're installed and finished, you can erase the file, right? But again, it's also nice to keep the the data for the future.
2026-04-13 20:49  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 15s]: Hey, um, did you delete that one project I started? I guess the platform isn't finished yet, eh? Because I wanted I was going to try it out. And I uploaded a couple photos.
2026-04-13 20:50  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 25s]: It would be nice right now to try it out if you could create a login for my brother and for my or myself I have one now. And let's just test it. We're gonna do one project totally on this thing. And this way we can um give you feedback or or give us feedback for everything. I think that'll be the best. Or what do you think?
2026-04-13 20:53  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 56s]: Yeah, we could definitely get it going already. Um, yeah, today I did a complete rehaul, um, because I got rid of the, uh, invoice and quote buttons, because, yeah, you said you you're doing those on a different app, hey, and it's all ready to go. Unless you want, um, still those buttons there, but just to attach the quotes that you already created maybe, uh, to be able to view it inside right away. But yeah, I did a overhaul now with, uh, more the way you imagined it, I, it, I think. Um, yeah, like projects and having the like photos and videos on there and, um, yeah, I I did something. I'm I'm trying to upload it now, so you can take a look.
2026-04-13 20:58  Florian Disterhoft: Try skycrewltd.ca now
2026-04-13 21:00  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 22s]: And yeah, sorry, I deleted or accidentally got rid of the projects. Yeah, cuz nothing was live and it wasn't saving to anything. It wasn't really plugged in. Um, yeah. But uh, I think from now on it should work. Uh, I I just have to double check though just to make sure.
2026-04-13 21:06  Florian Disterhoft: It's still in beta though, many things won't work 😄 but ya
2026-04-13 21:10  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO] The his map is all over
2026-04-13 21:10  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 5s]: Hey Flo, this map makes zero sense. I'm not sure what's going on here.
2026-04-13 21:10  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 18s]: Um, it says Castleguard. That's what that's what Vancouver is. Что-то там, something's not adding up here. But I like that those lines stopped running. Cause they're running too fast, it was distracting.
2026-04-13 21:11  Florian Disterhoft: [PHOTO]
2026-04-13 21:11  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 9s]: Oh, that's interesting. I just clicked on the Skycrew link that you sent me and I scrolled down and that was the map on it. Okay.
2026-04-13 21:11  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 15s]: By the way, I think you want to hear this. I talked to this um steel fabricator in uh Port Coquitlam and I showed them the website and he really loved the website. Good job, man.
2026-04-13 21:11  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 14s]: Okay, does the map work now for you? If you uh yeah, cuz on my phone, I guess every phone is a little bit different. Ich muss das dann irgendwie hardcoden. So it looks uh consistent everywhere, right?
2026-04-13 21:12  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 3s]: Nice. Thanks. Yeah, that's good to hear.
2026-04-13 21:12  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 4s]: Yeah, that seems to be working fine now. Thank you.
2026-04-13 21:13  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 28s]: The only thing that I would like to change is the photos. I will have to get some new, some nicer pictures for the website, for the main page. And I think I need some more finished photos of the the cover page. I think it would be nice if like every 10 seconds or so the picture changes and there's like five photos or something. Or do you think that's too much?
2026-04-13 21:15  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 31s]: Doch, we can definitely add more photos and uh yeah, right now I think it changes every three or four, five seconds. Um yeah, I added a little progress bar right below the hero image, that's what it's called. Um yeah, for sure, the more photos you have there, I think it's better. Um yeah. Because as soon as you send them to me, I can implement them on the website, so it looks a little bit nicer.
2026-04-13 21:17  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 10s]: Yeah, I'll have to look around, browse around and find some pictures. I'm also sending out Buddy to take more photos and videos of my other projects.
2026-04-13 21:18  Florian Disterhoft: Ok yeah, sounds good. Did you check out the portal app as well yet? Anything you would like changed right off the bat?
2026-04-13 21:19  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO]
2026-04-13 21:20  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 19s]: I mean, I go on it, it's all over the everything is all over the place, I feel like. The the texts and everything, it looks kind of all over the place. And I'm assuming, um, did you add my brother as a login? I guess I can check that out myself.
2026-04-13 21:21  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 32s]: Oh sorry, yeah, that's still the old site. Um, what you have to do is try to open the the stupid thing is um Safari and Chrome, they uh cache sites. So they basically uh save certain information so that it can load it faster the next time, you know? So it's loading the old site still. Uh try opening it in an incognito browser tab, you know? In a new tab and then it should be the new site.
2026-04-13 21:22  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 25s]: And also, yeah, I'm actually now focusing only on the mobile site the whole time. Before I would always make sure that the desktop site looks good and then focus on the mobile, but I realized it's backwards. I should make it look good for the mobile and then if you want the desktop site to look good as well, I can also do that because yeah, mostly going to be using your phone, right? And all your clients too mostly.
2026-04-13 21:23  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 15s]: Yeah, mobile is the way to go right now. Um Does the actual button work to download on your home screen later on? That'll be really cool if you have your own app on the home screen.
2026-04-13 21:23  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 0s]: Okay.
2026-04-13 21:23  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 18s]: Yeah, I logged in now through Google and it's uh way different. Thanks. What's the code for David's login? Is it the same 2026? Just curious. It would be also nice to actually yeah, I'll just Never mind.
2026-04-13 21:33  Florian Disterhoft: No worries, everything can be done. Things like changing passcodes or adding users, no problem. I just made some changes today and I'll be working on the site more in the next few days. Main things I want to nail down: making sure projects save properly with all the photos and videos, and that even if something gets deleted on the site it's still backed up in the database, don't want anyone losing work after driving out to a job site and uploading everything.
There will always be some bugs to iron out over time, that's just normal, but I want to get it as clean as possible. The tools section still needs some work too, want to make them actually useful, including a proposal generator that's easy to fill out on mobile, kind of like the PDF you sent me.
2026-04-13 21:33  Florian Disterhoft: Also the "Install the app" button works fine in regular Chrome, just not in incognito mode. And I want to swap out the app icon, right now it's just black. Little things, but I'll get it all cleaned up.
2026-04-13 21:36  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 13s]: Yeah, that's important thing to have the picture saved. Um I'm trying to upload a video now, but I think it's too big. It just doesn't seem to work properly.
2026-04-13 21:37  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 7s]: The uploads to photos are not bad. Just uh the video. I think it's also too long, that's why.
2026-04-13 21:37  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 7s]: Alright, sounds good, man. Well, good job. It seems to turn out pretty darn good.
2026-04-13 21:40  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 9s]: Hey, that's so cool you put the address in, you click on that uh pinpoint and it actually shows you where the location is. That's pretty cool.
2026-04-13 21:40  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 145s]: Ja, das sind so verschiedene Sachen, die man adden kann. I added for example Google Maps buttons, so you can quickly like if you need the navigation to there, you know, can just go straight directions. Uh so little things or when filling out for example, let's say you create a new project, uh and then you have to type in the address, instead of like typing it in yourself, um I can hook it up to Google Maps, so it basically finds the address in the maps database. And then you don't have to type the whole thing. Uh or for example, contacts, like it'll have access to your phone contacts. Then you don't always have to type in phone numbers or whatever, so it's quicker. And then also saved, like you can for example, builders. You won't have like a hundred different builders probably, but if you have like 10 that you use a lot, you can pick them then quickly from the list. Like things like that, quality of life improvements. And then yeah, also the photo and video database. Right now it's just very plain, just to upload and there's square, you know, pictures. I want to be able to, if you have lots of pictures, be able to zoom back in and out, so you can see them kind of like a gallery view, you know, so you can zoom in back and out. And then also tags like for photos, you can add little notes, maybe little markups. Um, yeah. Das sind einige Dinge, die die man adden kann, you know, because yeah, if it's like this, just uploading pictures is is easy, you know, but then to make it actually useful and then also categories, you know, so you have roof or walls or I don't know, wie ihr euer workflow ist, but um, yeah. So, as I said, it's yeah, it's beta. So I don't know even how video uploads work. Maybe also bigger video files, maybe doesn't really work very well or something right now. But that's also something I have to look into, so it's consistent. Aber ja. Um, I spent like half the day today doing that, but uh yeah, in the coming days, uh my wife almost gave birth today, almost like she had already contractions, but yeah, she's probably going to be due this week, so yeah, hopefully I'll have some more time then when the baby's there after a couple of days, you know.
2026-04-13 21:41  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 14s]: But one thing, I can't log out out of my portal. I'm logged into Google. And I want to I click on my icon and it just uh disappears. It shows up and disappears within a second.
2026-04-13 21:42  Viktor Hekalov: [FILE: (File not included. Change data exporting settings to download.)] [VIDEO]
2026-04-13 21:42  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 32s]: Ah, okay. Yeah, I'm trying to also push, um, right now actively some changes, some pretty big changes. Uh, so projects actually stay saved. That's why maybe, um, yeah, the it's basically I'm pushing the information up, the up the cloud and then it needs to digest it and then it, uh, tries to update it and then, yeah. So that issue probably that you have will hopefully be resolved. And, um,
2026-04-13 21:45  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 20s]: Nice, man. Almost, eh? Almost. Yeah, hey, take your time, relax, uh, be with your wife. Don't go too hard on this. Um, yeah, hopefully everything goes well. Pretty exciting.
2026-04-13 21:45  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 33s]: Yeah, and things like sharing projects and so. Das wird dann auch um so you can share for example a project with David and then he has access to it and then but also if you want to share to Andy, you know, so he can have one-time access just to a specific project or a specific, you know, even just photos or whatever. Uh yeah, das kann man auch alles machen. So then um he would basically access the website but then only be limited to like whatever you share, you know.
2026-04-13 21:46  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 31s]: Yeah, it would be definitely nice to send a be able to send a share link to a subcontractor and give them like temporarily access, you know? To a certain link to the drop to the job description. It's going to be really organized. Like this is a good idea. It's going to save money. It's going to keep everything very, very organized.
2026-04-13 21:46  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 33s]: Yeah, such a big bummer, eh? Like I feel so sad for you guys that it didn't work out with with the baby. Wäre so schön, wenn wir beide ein Baby hätten. Like would have been beautiful. But um yeah, life is sometimes can throw a wrench into the tire. So hope you guys are doing okay in that regard and um hopefully God will bless you again.
2026-04-13 21:47  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 16s]: Well, Flo, thanks for, thank you for your condolences. Yeah, we're doing good. We're doing great. It is what it is. Life goes on.
2026-04-13 21:47  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 7s]: Everything has its purpose in life. That's the way I see it, so Yeah.
2026-04-15 10:43  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO] Noticed this
2026-04-15 11:43  Florian Disterhoft: Ok thanks, I'll look into it. On which page was that?
2026-04-15 11:45  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 50s]: Hey, um, it's fine when you flip the screen, the phone, then it's fine. But when it's on single screen, it's kind of like cramped in there. I mean, I still understand it, but. Um, the other thing is, I want to add, by the way, good job. It looks really nice the bottom of the page with all those companies. But I also would like to add crop, the crop, um, logo. And I also got to do like safety things like WorkSafeBC and stuff like that. But hey man, you're doing an amazing job. I'm proud of you. It looks really sharp. I get a lot of compliments. I got three compliments last week, just from like random people on Instagram messaging me and Yeah.
2026-04-15 12:07  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 38s]: Oh wow, that's crazy. I'm really glad to hear that. Yeah. Always on the fence like, is this the way it should look or not, you know? Um, but yeah, if you're getting positive feedback, that's awesome. And yeah, uh, I can eat, uh, add the crop logo as well. And, um, yeah, warranties, um, yeah, muss mir vielleicht noch mal maybe elaborate a little bit, um, like work safe BC, like also some kind of stamps oder so. Um, yeah, it's really nice, wenn da ganz viel Logos unten sind, ne? The more the better. And, uh, that gives a lot of credibility to your name as well.
2026-04-16 10:40  Florian Disterhoft: Would you want the Avalanche Exteriors logo at the bottom as well along with the other partner companies? Or rather not
2026-04-16 10:41  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 33s]: Hey, uh, I don't know if I would want avalanche there. Just kind of Because it's a total different field, right? They do exterior. And we do metal roofing. I'll think about it. But I for sure want the crop there. And um, I'll just have to find this spot for WorkSafe BC.
2026-04-16 10:44  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 49s]: Okay, yeah, makes sense. Ich dachte halt nur companies you work with. Um, yeah, I'm adding it now, the crop system. And, um, I'm also making them clickable. So if people click on it, it takes it to the original manufacturer site so they can see. Um, yeah, I didn't know that ThyssenKrupp, um, they're crazy big, eh? They have over 100,000 employees worldwide and they make annually 40 billion euros in revenue. Insane. Yeah, and, uh, about the, uh, WorkSafeBC, you just wanted like a logo from them or, uh, some kind of certification badge? Should I find that or do you have something on hand?
2026-04-16 11:46  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 12s]: Yeah, ThyssenKrupp is was the largest metal refinery in the world till I think four or five years ago. China built a bigger one. Or maybe three years ago.
2026-04-16 11:46  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 32s]: Well, I think just the badge is okay because when customers look, they want to I feel like it just looks better when you have those certifications. I might even have to put a badge for liability insurance. Mentioning something like up to $5 million coverage or something. I'll go my old website in Ontario and I'll see how we had it there.
2026-04-16 11:47  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 7s]: And never mind, our old company website is shut down. I thought about it.
2026-04-16 11:49  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 61s]: I also have a different question and proposition to you. Not sure how your schedule is and stuff. But um, would you be interested in maybe doing like paperwork and stuff like that? Like warranty stuff, stuff you can do from your house for me. You know what I mean? Because like I I need an office person, but I don't have full-time work for an office guy. But there is occasionally maybe like four, five hours in a month that I need someone to do a bunch of paperwork. And uh, you're literally the best fit for that, in my opinion. So yeah. Something to consider. Let me know what your thoughts are on that.
2026-04-16 11:49  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 9s]: And the other thing is, you're structuring the whole website, you know exactly where everything is, you know.
2026-04-16 11:51  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 31s]: Uh Florian, I just remembered. Um, I also got to add the solar panels to my products. Because they're it's such a unique system for standing seam metal roofs and I really want to have that in there as well. Um, it's not urgent, but just something to consider when you need a little bit of extra cash, you know. And want to do some more work.
2026-04-16 11:51  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 30s]: And I also have a lot of websites I can forward uh emails I can forward you them with a lot of the product details and pictures and everything. And I would also like to have a picture with the solar systems installed on the cover page somewhere. Or create another um what is it called? Another column in there.
2026-04-16 11:52  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 7s]: I'm going home right now and then once I'm on the computer I'll forward you all those emails.
2026-04-16 11:59  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 34s]: Okay, sounds good. Uh yeah, send me those emails and that can be added for sure. Um and also the um WorkSafeBC. Yeah, I just kind of took their logo. I looked into it it has like a certified thing on it as well. So I'm going to update the website here soon and then you'll see those changes. Then you can let me know how it looks like on mobile or desktop site. Um and
2026-04-16 12:01  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 127s]: Regarding the proposition that you said, um, I mean, it's uh I don't mind doing stuff like this, you know, also, I don't know about paperwork. I've never really done it. But yeah, honestly, I'm also trying to get my own thing going with Sona Home Tech, right? And I don't have a single job yet and hey, I'm just so busy with my regular work, like avalanche installing and also the stuff that I'm doing for you now, takes up all my time that I don't really have time to focus on my own thing. I mean, it's kind of my own fault. I should just take a day off, you know, and then just focus completely on that. Um, but yeah, I'm I'm trying to detach, like be as little tied up as possible, you know? Um, so I am able to focus on my own thing. So I think as of now, um, I wouldn't want to commit to anything because then I'm kind of tied up, you know? I want to be free in that regard. So, I think as of now, while I'm still working on your site and building out that portal and stuff for it to run smoothly and properly, uh, you can definitely give me anything to do, like I'm I don't mind doing uh more work, different types of things as well. Um, but yeah, I'm hoping to, you know, get it done sooner or later. I don't know how much longer it's going to take, but until it's to a point where it's you're satisfied and there might be changes here and there, but it won't be that much anymore, you know? Um, yeah, during that time I can definitely do stuff, whatever you give me, but I think after that I will try to, you know, that we kind of put it as a a check mark on the thing, the website and then move on, you know? Yeah, I don't want to get tied up. I'm trying to get away from avalanche as well, you know, I hope you understand. So, yeah.
2026-04-16 12:01  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 17s]: And I hope that most of the tools with warranties, I don't know, like paperwork, hopefully with a portal, it's gonna be so seamless that you might not even need anybody to do it, like you can fill it out yourself and it's all ready to go, you know? Yeah.
2026-04-16 12:07  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 41s]: Yeah, I totally get it, man. I totally understand. Um See, I I don't know what the numbers are for this uh for the home securities. Like what does an average house cost? I have no idea. It's like three, four, five grand or is it like 10 grand? I don't know. Because I'm going to lit them again and I want to try to see if we can if I can sell them that, you know, the security systems on their homes. They might they might take it, might not, I don't know. But yeah, the website has to be done sooner or later. That's right.
2026-04-16 12:08  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 42s]: A different question. Could you possibly with all your AI bots there, could you create some kind of a software that could calculate the roof square footage? Zum Beispiel, I just upload a PDF drawing and it just does all the math and figures everything out. Like I just got seven drawings today, or yesterday. Now I just literally got home, just pulling in actually, and I'm gonna be sitting there for the next two hours. Analyzing, calculating, you know, it takes time. So I was wondering if there's some kind of AI KI software.
2026-04-16 12:16  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 124s]: Dude, definitely. Dude, this is exactly the use case that where AI makes life so much easier. Um, yeah, I can almost guarantee you that that is something I can be, I can do. Um, yeah, maybe just send me a plan on and I'll look into it. It shouldn't take too long, I think. Um, yeah. I mean, for it to be consistent and to be perfectly precise and always give you no errors, of course, uh, there's gonna be some revisions will be needed. But, um, ich habe z.B. für Eugen auch so ein Tool gebaut, because he always wants me to convert a certain PDF or like he gets a quote for the windows for Triple T, you know. And, uh, he wants to convert it into his own version. So, everything has to be updated, like, pretty much the windows, all the sizing and everything, it's like 20 pages of PDF. That usually stays the same, just, uh, the colors get changed a little bit. And then he wants his own logo in there, the contact information changed, terms and condition, you know, stuff on on a Excel sheet, basically, but it's like 20 pages after you export it into a PDF. And I used AI and I built a tool that takes any quote that he receives and converts it exactly into his own format with everything, you know, all the right labels and everything. So, yeah, uh, with if you have a plan, like with PDF that's decent quality where you can see all the text perfectly, I'm pretty sure that can be done. Also, wenn du willst, kann ich das mal machen, mal ausprobieren. Cause yeah, once you have that tool, then it would pretty much be you just select the PDF and then it spits out the total, not just the total, like whatever numbers you want, the totals, but also the math, so you can double check just in case, you know.
2026-04-16 12:17  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 39s]: And yeah, pricing for a security system. See, that's the thing. I don't even have, I have no idea myself. Like how much to charge and everything. Like I was told just to go by an hourly number, but um, yeah, I definitely want to also know like if somebody let's say wants two security cameras, three, four, like how much would I charge per camera? If they want sound system, if they want uh door per per window, you know, glass breaking or whatever, alarm system. Um, yeah, I need to get those numbers down. It's a good reminder actually.
2026-04-16 12:17  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 19s]: And yeah, once I have that or have a better idea, it would be awesome. If you want to refer me, um, yeah. I just have to, I just got two cameras for our church build. So I have to install those. I'm hoping to take some pictures while I do that. So I can also advertise that, you know.
2026-04-16 12:22  Viktor Hekalov: [FILE: 1974 N SPENCER - PRICING SET.pdf]
2026-04-16 12:22  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 15s]: Yeah, see if you can get the square footage on this roof. It's pretty straightforward one. And if it works, I'll send you seven more. I'm just curious. Because I used some computer before, AI, and it didn't work that good for me. It was totally off.
2026-04-16 12:26  Florian Disterhoft: Ok, I'll give it a shot
2026-04-16 13:06  Florian Disterhoft: [FILE: 1974 Spencer Rd N, Lytton, BC (Roof Estimate).pdf]
2026-04-16 13:07  Florian Disterhoft: Page 2 of the pricing set contains the architect's material takeoff. It was not used as an input to the estimate 
The plan-only measurement was produced first, then the takeoff was reviewed afterwards as a cross-check.
2026-04-16 13:07  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 7s]: Okay, yeah, I'll check it out. I'm actually working on a different lot right now.
Uh,
Yeah, I'll check it out.
2026-04-16 13:29  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 6s]: Um, yeah, it's pretty accurate actually. Pretty good.
2026-04-16 13:31  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 41s]: Yeah, so the next step would be basically you would have a price list of how much you want to charge and then it would automatically create an invoice with all the numbers all automatically. So you just drop the PDF file with the plan into a platform. It finds all the the square footage, what you need. You could probably even include like um drip flashings and stuff too. It could probably figure that out. And then yeah, and then price list and then right away quote PDF generator all in one, you know.
2026-04-16 13:35  Viktor Hekalov: [FILE: 1937 NORTH SPENCER - PRICING SET.pdf]
2026-04-16 13:35  Viktor Hekalov: Can you do this one as well?
2026-04-16 13:43  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 2s]: Yeah, you're here, but it's not sending it to you for some reason.
2026-04-16 14:13  Florian Disterhoft: [FILE: 1937 Spencer Rd N, Lytton, BC.pdf]
2026-04-16 14:15  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 14s]: Okay, that is pretty, pretty accurate. I like that. Hmm. I got 2,791 square feet. This is like bang on.
2026-04-16 14:23  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 84s]: Nice, eh? Yeah, maybe there's a way to um, 'cause it does use a specific uh AI model from Claude. Uh, but there is APIs, which means like um a key. Like you don't technically need a subscription. You can also just pay per usage. And when you have, you just add a little bit of money, like five bucks to the account and then every time let's say there's an app that would you would just have to drag the file into it. It would read the key, like it would use the key to run the command. And then you would get charged per conversion, you know. Which is probably gonna be in the sense, you know, area, 'cause um yeah, it's not gonna use that much. But then that way you only pay as much as you use rather than having to have a subscription always, you know. And and it would work anywhere. You could have it even on your laptop. But yeah, just an idea. I mean, if you have more plans to do, you can even batch run them, you know, like 10, 10 at once. And you can change the format, the outputting and everything. So, yeah, just just a thought, I guess.
2026-04-16 14:23  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 19s]: I should sell this idea to other contractors, eh? Um, imagine, z.B. Eugen, he also has to do like siding calculation on houses, right? Like estimates. Like that could save so much time. And it's pretty accurate too.
2026-04-16 15:52  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 22s]: Hey, that's awesome though. I like that software, whatever, however we calculated it. I would like to know more about it. Because dude, that saves a lot of time. I'm just testing it, you know, like one is pretty close. Like 80 square feet off and the second one. So, it's really, really good.
2026-04-16 15:53  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 19s]: Flo, you're late. I can send you my email. Ich bekomme jeden Tag or twice, three times a week I get an email from some company that's gonna do um what's it called? a take-offs, material count and everything.
2026-04-16 17:19  Viktor Hekalov: [FILE: MAJIC - JAN 06 2026 - ARCH PLANS - compressed file.pdf]
2026-04-16 17:20  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 11s]: Hey Florian, can we do this calculation one more time on this house? Thanks.
2026-04-16 17:20  Florian Disterhoft: Yup, give me a couple minutes
2026-04-16 17:43  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 37s]: That's pretty awesome. Man, can you also like ask this computer? I'm actually doing a favor for someone right now. This is a sheman out in Cranbrook and they want me to give them an estimate how much trim and stuff I need and the square footages because they don't know how to do it. Would it be possible to ask how many trim pieces I would need, like drip edge, gable trim, ridge cap, valleys, wall flashing, stuff like that. You think that's doable? I think you can do that on the computer.
2026-04-16 18:09  Florian Disterhoft: [FILE: MAJIC Residence - Roof Area Estimate.pdf]
2026-04-16 18:09  Florian Disterhoft: Should be on page 3 😃
2026-04-16 18:21  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 7s]: Hey Flo, thank you man, appreciate that. That is unbelievably awesome.
2026-04-16 18:22  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 20s]: Would it be possible to install the software on the website? You know what I mean? You think that's a possibility? That'd be so cool. Or I guess a link or a Yeah, I guess a I'm because this is like a computer, right, a bot. It's use it's online, right?
2026-04-16 18:27  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 160s]: Yeah, it's pretty cool, eh? I wonder if it's actually accurate, like the the linear foots and stuff of the flashings. Um, and it could be done, I think. Uh, like I said, with API, like it's basically just you would have a an account with uh Claude. This is the AI that is I'm using for this. And then uh it would just be a key. So it would have to build the whole thing, um, and then integrate it into the website, and then you can pretty much, yeah, use your phone to upload a PDF, and then it would run in the background, and it'll give you like an update, maybe in percentage-wise or how long it's approximately going to take. Um, but yeah, man kann es auch bisschen trainieren. So you can pretty much uh tell it to kind of learn from each each uh plan that it does. So it's not it doesn't have to uh over like redo the whole thing every time. So it can pick up on patterns quicker, and then it might even um it'll cost less and it'll be faster, you know. But it still has to go through the whole PDF and take every single uh symbol and letter into consideration. But um I think it's possible. This could be a $100,000 or $10,000 tool, eh, right in your arsenal. Um, yeah, mal gucken. I could probably try working on that next week. Um, yeah, heute habe ich einiges gemacht. Fixed the the logos and stuff at the bottom of the website and um the file manager, like if you go on a project, if you go on documents, you'll see like an update there. Um, yeah, gradually, ne? Got to work out those tools. And then also, yeah, once the plan is scanned, you can either have a have it spit out a PDF like that, or you even like mobile-friendly like a nice list, you know, so it's nice you can view it nicely on the phone, or, you know, or a PDF, or even if you have the pricing, um, like your prices, your set prices, uh, you can even have that connected, and then it would basically generate the the quote right away with all the pricing. Um, yeah, I mean, the it's unlimited, the the possibilities.
2026-04-16 18:27  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 2s]: Pretty exciting stuff, eh?
2026-04-16 18:28  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 30s]: And and it's wider. I mean, it's sounds accurate. I just wish it would actually because um tell the pitch of the roof. For example, there's 8/12 pitch starters. Then there's 4/12 and 2/12. It would be nice if it break it down to each pitch accordingly because for each section the pitch, the starter has to be bent um to the prop proper pitch, you know. But I mean, it's seems pretty realistic for sure.
2026-04-16 18:30  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 45s]: Yeah, I mean, not sure what the value on that is. It just saves me time, you know what I mean? Like you just did that in what? I don't know, in one hour in like 15 minutes you sent the square footage. So far I've tested it and it was within 80 to 100 square feet accurate, which is amazing. My my theory is all my 10, 20% on top. But yeah. It's just so convenient. Um it's just super convenient for me at least. I've been I spend sometimes four, five hours like a day just doing estimates.
2026-04-16 18:32  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 42s]: Well, see, pricing is hard. Um I don't think it's worth, it's not even worth adding pricing to it. Yeah, like roughly, a rough estimate, yeah, put 10 bucks a square foot, ungefähr. But then also people choose different products, different metal finishes, right? They vary from like 30 to 60 cents per square foot in metal alone. Some some people want copper. Copper is like 15 bucks a square foot. Um aluminum is auch teuer, weißt du? So that I don't think that really is that important.
2026-04-16 18:32  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 23s]: Another note, um it would be cool like I can maybe find or maybe we can create some uh what's it called? PDF forms um that explain specific um wie heißt das? products. Oh, baby.
2026-04-16 18:33  Viktor Hekalov: What’s your email again?

2026-04-16 19:23  Florian Disterhoft: flodisterhoft@gmail.com
2026-04-16 19:25  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 35s]: Ja, um if you give me more specifications, like for the slopes that it needs uh different flashings. I didn't know that before, but yeah, um it would be easier if I if I knew the job and was hands-on, you know, then I could make those changes in the in the prompts. But yeah, I can update that that it would also give a little bit more detailed, you know, bends and whatnot where different uh roof pitches meet. Das kann man auch machen for sure.
2026-04-16 19:26  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 40s]: And uh yeah, with the pricing, um yeah, basically, technically it would be possible, because otherwise you would have to regardless, you know, type in after the fact, like after you have the numbers of all the lengths and differences, um you could have another prompt, like a follow-up prompt and tell it, okay, the customer wants this material, it costs this much, you know. It muss ja halt sowieso dann manuell machen. The way you would just write down a whole list of all the prices, what whatever the customer wants, and then it would redo the PDF, let's say, um with all those numbers, you know, accurately.
2026-04-16 19:27  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 63s]: And yeah, um it took me not too long. Right now it takes longer cuz it's still you know. But once you refine it, it's uh it would basically take no time. So you would basically have to just upload the PDF and then everything would be automatic. And then um yeah, vielleicht kann man noch irgendwie so machen, so it has it makes some of its own drawings, like of the roof, very simple with certain, you know, information that you want, you know, so you can have a better overview, like a visual overview of footage, square footages and and you can feed it in also different profiles, like how wide, how many sheets you need, how long you have to cut them, rough cuts, like everything, you know, ready for the job site. You have to produce all of these these sheets, you know, for this roof. 20 of those, you know, and then like a ganze Liste. Pretty much like a Chinese factory, you know.
2026-04-16 19:40  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 31s]: Florian. I think you're the right contestant for my company. Dude, you should you should just come out sometimes to some jobs and calculate everything, you know? Or maybe let's do one job. We'll calculate everything with your list and see how it performed on the job site. It's actually kind of fun to do.
2026-04-16 20:06  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO] I have sale all these products !!
2026-04-16 20:08  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO] And this lol
2026-04-16 20:09  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 20s]: But I'm actually not very familiar with the solar panels yet. But I feel like I hit a jackpot, like all these companies, I have the right to solar products. Product and use their advertisements. It's pretty crazy if you think about it.
2026-04-16 20:09  Viktor Hekalov: And copy right
2026-04-16 20:21  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 60s]: Oh wow, that's awesome. Dude, that's crazy. I think we have to expand the the footer section of the website and then add all of these I mean, they don't have to be that big. Man könnte auch einfach nur die größeren Firmen, so wie ähm yeah, the the big companies, you know, ein bisschen größer machen and then the smaller ones all around. Yeah, that definitely gives a good impression. And then if they have, you know, any product like richtig coole designs und so uh on their website, das kann man auch dann so integrieren irgendwie, you know, in the in the products page irgendwo oder so, you know. Like same with a 3D animated um thing that you can zoom in on on each product, you know, with your finger. Um I mean, building that would probably take a long time, so the fact that we were able to copy that from the website is awesome. And then if they have other designs, can definitely elevate your site even more.
2026-04-16 20:22  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 64s]: Und ja, halt so ist es mit allem, glaube ich, mit allen Firmen. Um if the people would actually be on site and see how things are done and what is needed and be in direct contact with the installers, I think everything would be so much more smooth, you know? Because yeah, when you're hands on, you're like, oh, like this I wish I could do that or I wish I could do this, you know? And uh that's why feedback is so so important and like the collaboration. But yeah, I don't want to get dragged in too deep, you know? Cause yeah, I can definitely get torn and then uh we'll never get to what I want to do. Aber ja, I don't I don't mind doing it. It's it's kind of fun and I definitely add to my arsenal of uh tools and you know, experience. It gives me you know, time to experience with this. Um yeah.
2026-04-16 20:23  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO]
2026-04-16 20:23  Viktor Hekalov: It’s all of this group
2026-04-16 20:24  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 38s]: Yeah, I don't think I want all of those things on the website. The thing is this last picture is solar specifically. That doesn't verschiedene inverters, battery companies, solar panels, um cables, the whole wiring kits and stuff like that. So I don't know if I want that yet in there. I the thing is I haven't met most of these people yet, but I've met like the some of those people from the Blachotrapez group. Blachotrapez.
2026-04-16 20:26  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 49s]: For sure, man, for sure. But it'll be fun. I think one Actually, there's gonna be a job in Coldstream. Oh, man. Imagine taking a picture from Google Maps and putting it to the software without a PDF. I wonder if that'll be even possible. That'll be really cool. But yeah, it'll be cool if we can do a drop here, run it through this AI software, it gives us all the counts and measurements. We order accordingly to that and use only those materials, the counts, and see how far we get. That'll be really cool.
2026-04-16 20:48  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 36s]: Ja, I mean, you can always uh double check your own work, right? The process of you uh calculating how much you material you need. I mean, it's gonna be double the work, but then if you do that and then on top of that with the AI and then compare and then see, you know, just so you don't mess up big time, um if it is completely wrong, but probably won't be. And if it's uh who knows, maybe it's gonna be even more accurate. But uh yeah, I mean, it's a possibility. Das kann man alles machen, ne?
2026-04-16 20:50  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 104s]: Und mit Google Maps, I'm pretty sure it would be possible. Um basically I would actually, the way I would do it, I would use there is I think Google Maps, Apple Maps, uh Microsoft Maps and there might be a few others. But I would uh zoom in on the location as far for as possible, uh where the it doesn't get too pixelated. And as long as there is the uh the um scale, uh you know, it has that little line in the bottom right usually. Like let's say that the line is one inch and each inch represents 10 meters or whatever or 10 feet. As long as it has that, uh it can accurately measure it, you know? Uh man könnte das vielleicht dann zuerst mal So from Google Maps, so it can make a its own kind of roof um design, you know, like flat top view and then from there all the information, all the yeah, the it it would know, you know, what the distances are because it actually the PDFs that you send in, I think it also has like a reference scale and it goes off of that, you know? That's why it physically zooms into different sections of the of the drawing and then it measures the distances uh according to the scale. That's how it's able to be pretty close to accurate.
2026-04-16 23:32  Viktor Hekalov: https://www.kropsystem.eu/en/products/c/steel-square-gutter-system
2026-04-16 23:33  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 20s]: Yeah, that's all well and good. We can figure that stuff out later maybe, but for now when you have time, you should add the square steel gutters. Because there's only one other competitor and I have a lot of inquiries for it so far.
2026-04-21 12:57  Viktor Hekalov: 5639 learmouth rd Coldstream ,
2026-04-21 12:57  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 20s]: Hey bro, how's it going? Hey, I got this lead for this job here and um, I was wondering if we could, if you could um, calculate the square footage on this, cuz from Google Earth or maps. So, yeah.
2026-04-21 12:59  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 34s]: And yeah, I was just wondering if you can give me an update um on the website there. If you can add those square gutters. That's really important for me actually. That's probably more important than anything else. To have the product displayed and the solar ones. Yeah. And also that um portal. Cuz I'm going to go do another job now. I want to start using it. So we can get more feedback and improve it, you know.
2026-04-21 14:44  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 84s]: Hey Victor. Yeah, for sure. Um, I'm actually kind of excited to try it to see if it would work from Google Maps and other maps to get that uh square footage. Um, yeah, it's it kind of sucks that I I don't know if I have to be here for Avalanche, you know. Um, wär gut, wenn ich einfach mal so, you know, just take a whole week or something and then just work steadily on your stuff. 'Cause I realized, um, 'cause I'm logging in my hours and I always see the most recent day I worked was five days ago or seven days ago, you know. So it's always like immer abgehakt. So it's not that good. It's better to be on the thing and then get it done. So we'll see. Um, for sure Thursday and Friday I can probably work on it. Ich gucke mal wegen morgen. Maybe I can also get started tomorrow, then I can get a lot more done. Maybe I can do one city to Friday or something, you know. I'll see. Technically I can leave whenever I want from here 'cause uh Eugen hat gesagt, I can do my own thing and just fill the hours here, so but I kind of feel bad for the guys 'cause they're only two guys working in the back and then Johnny alone and I'm working with him, so but yeah, we'll figure something out. I'll keep you updated.
2026-04-24 10:35  Florian Disterhoft: Hey, I just went on the steel square gutter system link to add it onto the website. But I noticed that we have almost all of those items under products, square gutter PVC section. There is only a few missing:

Gutter mesh 125-150
Gasket for a connector
Bottom gasket
Rainwater head
Settling tank PRO
Insulation screw for a pipe clamp
2026-04-24 10:36  Florian Disterhoft: What did you want me to add from this website to your website?
2026-04-24 10:36  Florian Disterhoft: Maybe you can send me some screenshots of what you mean.
2026-04-24 10:37  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 16s]: Hey Florian. Yeah, that's correct. But it says PVC, but those are the same components, but we make them in steel now, right?
2026-04-24 10:38  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 24s]: Ah, okay. Um, yeah, I compared the images even, like the little icons of each um, component and uh, they're almost the same, just slightly darker. So if you want, I can replace the naming scheme and uh, I guess, yeah, go through each and make sure that they're kind of matching.
2026-04-24 10:41  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 31s]: I mean, the steel ones, the images, they seem to look more like metal, like steel. And the PVC looks like PVC more. Even the anchors, they're all thicker and stuff like that. If you know what I mean. I mean, if you want, I can stop by at your place. Um, to go over a few things. If that works better for you.
2026-04-24 10:41  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 32s]: I'm just, man, like the last week just got so much stuff to do, it's insane. I got actually a crazy complex to quote. I want to wonder if I can use that app again. Yeah, I really want you to build me that app and put it into the website portal or something. Because it's handy. Like you did in like 20 minutes what I can do in an hour.
2026-04-24 10:41  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 7s]: Wow, not exactly an hour, but it takes me the same time, but I just have to do a lot of work.
2026-04-24 10:44  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 86s]: Yep, I know what you mean. Yeah, ich will auf jeden Fall das machen, integrated into the portal. Das ist ganz einfach für dich ist. Um, yeah, ich habe für Eugen auch so eine so ein App gebaut. Uh, really simple, like, uh, kriegt ja diese um, Triple T quotes von Manitoba. And then he has to convert them into his own quote with his logo and everything, with different coloring and everything. So, yeah, das würde eigentlich, wenn man das manuell macht, it takes like over an hour to do one quote, you know, alles das umändern. And I built with AI a thing, a web service. He just has to forward the email with the Excel quote, and it converts it in 10 seconds and sends it right back to him in a perfect format. Yeah, it's just amazing, was für tools man machen kann. So, yeah, definitely want to do that, add that to the portal und, um, yeah, ich muss nur einfach ein bisschen mehr Zeit dran verbringen, because yeah, today actually is my first day working on your stuff, weil ich musste gestern für Eugen die Sachen machen, so heute und hoffe nächste Woche auch einige Tage, dass ich an deine Sachen arbeiten kann, you know.
2026-04-24 10:45  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 40s]: you don't necessarily need to start by. I know you're really busy. Um, yeah, I think I understand what you mean. I can um, swap those out 'cause they look different, yeah. Some of them are thicker, different color, they just look like metal, right? So, yeah, basically keep the way it is on the website. Um, just replace and add everything instead of PVC, steel, right? And all the information about it. So yeah, I can do that, and then I'll I'll do the next thing you told me. I forgot what it was. I have to check in the messages.
2026-04-24 10:49  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 26s]: Hey, that is genius. I actually need that too, man. Um Yeah, cuz I get lumber estimates from my buddy. And then I put 10-15% commission on it. But I will always have to retype everything into my company, you know? Dude, that's so cool.
2026-04-24 10:51  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 25s]: I mean, I would like to have the PVC option as well on the website. Ich weiß nur nicht, what's gonna be quicker just to add the metal in there as well or re-change everything. I feel like it's almost better to just add the metal in there as well. So people know, because it makes more sense to me.
2026-04-24 10:53  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 19s]: Okay, yeah, I'll just add the metal then. So you'll have square gutter PVC and also metal. Yeah, it's gonna be easier. Then I'll pretty much a lot of the information will be pretty much duplicated. But yeah, I'll check what is different and everything.
2026-04-24 10:53  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 40s]: And yeah, about your first message. Uh, yeah, that's it's doable, for sure. Um, converting, you know, so you don't have to rewrite everything. I could even take the concept of what I built for Eugene, which took me quite a few hours. And, you know, just tell the AI to take that project and apply it to your case, you know? So, yeah. I mean, it would need fine-tuning and everything, but it can be done. I guess we'll just add that to the list at the bottom.
2026-04-24 16:46  Florian Disterhoft: Just finished adding the square gutter steel section for today.
2026-04-24 16:47  Florian Disterhoft: I also sent you an invoice for the past work I did. Here's a PDF summary so you know where it came from 😃

2026-04-24 22:30  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 8s]: And also have some more pictures to be updated for the website.
2026-04-24 22:30  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 7s]: By the way, um, have you gotten your baby yet or are you still waiting?
2026-04-25 10:08  Florian Disterhoft: Ok yeah good idea 👍
2026-04-25 10:09  Florian Disterhoft: Yes we got the baby at 1:04 AM 😁
2026-04-25 10:09  Florian Disterhoft: Will post a picture soon
2026-04-25 10:38  Viktor Hekalov: Congratulations
2026-04-25 11:14  Florian Disterhoft: Thanks 😃
2026-04-28 17:02  Florian Disterhoft: [FILE: (File not included. Change data exporting settings to download.)] [VIDEO] How do you like this warranty batch? Does it need any changes?
2026-04-28 17:03  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 8s]: Hey Florian. Yeah, looks pretty cool. Pretty cool.
2026-04-29 14:31  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO]
2026-04-29 14:31  Florian Disterhoft: What sub-page is that on?
2026-04-29 14:32  Viktor Hekalov: Square steel gutter
2026-04-29 14:56  Florian Disterhoft: Should be fixed now
2026-04-29 16:10  Viktor Hekalov: Ok
2026-04-29 16:43  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO]
2026-04-29 16:44  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 13s]: So I noticed uh when you share the product with someone, it shows uh the logo like this. Looks pretty cool. But I'm assuming you're not done with it yet, eh? Yes. Yeah.
2026-04-29 16:46  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 28s]: Okay, yeah, that's weird. Um, yeah, I never designed it that way. I actually never tested sharing products as links. Um, so it probably just took a random logo, but yeah, I can fix that. I can actually add a share button, so then it'll um, you can share it easier. It'll copy the link right away. And um, and then I'll do the proper logo.

2026-04-30 07:30  Viktor Hekalov: Moing. Would you be able to use that app to calculate the roof areas and wall area for Metal as well as the soffit area inside in the wall for footage on the windows front back thanks.
2026-04-30 07:31  Viktor Hekalov: Or maybe is better I could possibly stop it whenever it’s convenient for you
2026-04-30 09:01  Florian Disterhoft: Sorry just turned my phone on. Yeah sure, you can come by anytime 😉
2026-04-30 09:01  Florian Disterhoft: Let me see if I can get that sqft in the meantime
2026-04-30 10:22  Viktor Hekalov: Today?
2026-04-30 10:23  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 14s]: I've got a Zoom meeting in 8 minutes, 7 minutes. And I could be over at 11:30 or so.
2026-04-30 10:29  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 13s]: Okay, sounds good. Yeah, uh, for sure come over. Meine just want to let you know my uh mom-in-law is here uh with the kids, but uh that shouldn't bother us. We're gonna be in the room, right?
2026-04-30 10:30  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 5s]: Alright, sounds good, no worries.
I shouldn't be long anyways.
2026-04-30 11:26  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 19s]: Hey Flo, um, would afternoon work? I just remembered I have a meeting in an hour in Coldstream and I have to go and I have to leave in 15 minutes. How about like 2:00 or so?
2026-04-30 11:27  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 23s]: Hey, uh, yeah, actually later I wanted to, um, go out into the field and install the security cameras at, um, at the church property. Und danach habe ich noch paar Sachen, die ich machen muss in town. So, yeah, probably be gone for a couple of hours. Um, maybe towards the evening, like, you know, we can stay in touch.
2026-04-30 11:28  Viktor Hekalov: All good
2026-04-30 11:28  Viktor Hekalov: Everything works
2026-04-30 11:58  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 18s]: But Flo, um, could we work on that portal? Because every time I want to log out, it's not letting me, the button escapes and I, I have projects that I want to test the platform out, you know what I mean? Upload photos, upload information.
2026-04-30 11:58  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 4s]: So I can give you feedback, so we can customize it and make it perfect.
2026-04-30 11:59  Florian Disterhoft: Ok, yeah I'll make that the top priority now
2026-04-30 12:00  Florian Disterhoft: Should I still calculate the square footage for this before working on the portal?
2026-04-30 12:01  Viktor Hekalov: Yes
2026-04-30 12:01  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 18s]: Yeah, I'd like to make the portal a priority and that app. Let's build an app. I know it'll take time and money to do it, but I got to have an app that I can rely on, that I can customize and build according to what I need it to do.
2026-04-30 12:03  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 50s]: Okay, sounds good. Uh with the app you mean um like converting quotes for example or uh calculating square footage with plans and then also calculating square footage from just the Google Maps location pretty much, hey? Like a rough calculation. I mean, as close as possible. Um yeah, I can make that the top priority. I'm keeping a list now actually of things that you mention, 'cause yeah, sometimes you mention stuff and then I forget. So I'm putting that into a bucket list, you know? But yeah, I can work on the portal first. Um yeah, just to get it working, to get it usable and um so you can already start adding projects on there.
2026-04-30 12:05  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 108s]: And when you have a second, um, yeah, maybe you can explain a little bit more, you know, you can take as much time as you want to explain to me. Uh, what the portal, what the goal is kind of to, yeah, photos and stuff I understand. Um, but for example, yeah, I want to understand the tools that you want to have in there, so they're actually useful. So every single tool that is built in, you're actually gonna use and it'll be helpful, you know? Um, and yeah, I guess with time when you use it, you you will have more a better idea like it'll come to you like, oh, it would be nice to do this or that, you know? So yeah, so I can uh build out the tools better. Uh, because right now, yeah, the photos function is not bad, like you can upload photos, you can take photos, which is good, easy. But uh, yeah, for example, measurements section. Um, so would you want that? That there is like a way to measure, um, I don't know exactly what the, um, like what happens, like when you come to a site, you probably take pictures, like how do you go about a project, you know? Do you start measuring? Um, what kind of measuring uh, Tabellen brauchst du zum Beispiel, like roof or, you know, extras or cables or pitch, you know, all that stuff. Vielleicht kannst du das bisschen erklären. Um, yeah, and then there's scope of work. So kind of describing the project and there's notes, yeah, that can be handy. Um, documents zum hochladen, purchase order, and then also warranty. Yeah, warranty we already have worked out. So yeah, whenever you have time, eh?
2026-04-30 13:20  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO] Hey I think this gutter could have a better pixel resolution or?
2026-04-30 13:30  Florian Disterhoft: Yeah for sure. I'll look into it later. Going to town now
2026-05-01 18:11  Florian Disterhoft: Maybe open a new session and check if those icons are still pixelated. I did a fix to it. But I can try something else if it's not fixed. The page renders differently on iPhone and Safari browsers , That's why I don't see it right away.
2026-05-01 18:11  Florian Disterhoft: I added a few new features to the portal. When you create a new project you can search by address to create the project. Also check the measurements tab. It's a new concept. Might be a little bit overwhelming but we can definitely narrow it down later.

2026-05-01 18:21  Florian Disterhoft: Sorry, don't mean to spam you 😄
2026-05-01 18:26  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 57s]: Hey bro. Yeah, it's pretty cool. Pretty cool, yeah, to check it out. I meant to stop by yesterday at your place, but I have a sore throat and I have a sore schedule. So much to do. And uh, yeah. Um, yeah, thanks, man. Looks pretty good. Um, do you know what we should do? We should now target, figure out somehow how to target people who need these products. Like stores and stuff like that. I wonder if we can do it with a computer somehow, with AI. But yeah. It's pretty cool. I like it. And it's funny how on the square gutters, you have AR. You can like have AR uh, virtual reality goggles, eh? That's kind of cool.
2026-05-01 18:40  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 90s]: Yeah, no problem. Um, and no worries that you couldn't make it yesterday. All good. Ja, ich habe auch ziemlich busy hier zu Hause und andere Sachen. Um, by the way, I checked on the traffic on how much traffic you have and you have an insane number. Actually, uh, so far, there have been 70,000 visits on your website, which is insane, dude. Like, um, I don't know if it's because your website like Skycrew is related to so many other um, companies. Maybe that's why people accidentally go on there, but I don't know. Like you have so much traffic. I think this month alone, like 20,000 in April, which is actually humongous. I think Eugene for Avalanche, like he gets, you know, maybe a hundred, maybe a thousand visitors per month. But it's crazy. Um, yeah, man, was irgendwie die if you can sell the product, right, without installing it, you can make even more profit. So, definitely. I mean, um, the website is already kind of set up, like with those little tools. Um, dass man halt you can star products, you know, when you want to when you use a lot of them. Um, then you can get straight to them, you know. But, uh, yeah, sorry, I don't want to set you too long of voice messages.
2026-05-01 18:40  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 32s]: 'Cause yeah, I I sent you two before. I think you didn't listen to them yet. Um yeah. Uh but yeah, if you have a chance, uh just go on the measurements tab and then yeah, see what it's um right now. I don't know if it's confusing or anything, but yeah, just go through it, see what you like, what you don't, and we can change things. Okay, dabei. I think I'm gonna be done probably for this week with working on the portal and stuff. Und dann nächst nächstes Woche kann es dann weitergehen, ne?
2026-05-01 19:07  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 36s]: Oh wow, that's insane. I had no idea. That is crazy. Yeah, that is a lot, man. Can you also see where they people went on? Cuz on some sites you can actually see where they went on. I think through Google. But dude, that's insane. Yeah. That's the goal, right? Is to create a supply store. Um That's awesome. I should maybe even add to the channel Uh, maybe not.
2026-05-01 19:13  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 155s]: Yeah, sorry, I was so occupied, I even missed those messages. But yeah, I need basically it's going to be my notes. I'm taking notes on that portal. I have images. I'll have the square footage there. I don't really necessarily need all the trim. I mean, it's a nice feature to have. Maybe eventually I'll integrate into it and put it up and use it. But it's mainly when I go to the customer, I take pictures, upload them, put all the details, stripping shingles, leaving shingles, what kind of underlayment I'm putting on, what kind of product. And if it's approved, then I can send that whole thing, just a link to the subcontractor. Tag them and send it to them and they can accept or decline the project. And also I'll have the rough installation date and the pay, what I will pay per square foot. And a few miscellaneous comments here and there, whatever is necessarily to complete the project, yeah. Stuff like that. It's just mainly I need this on the platform so I can access it anywhere I go. Because right now it's in my phone on my notes. My whole notes on the phone are just cluttered with There's like probably a hundred different projects uh and uh it's pretty messy and then you don't want to delete them because you might need them again here and there and it's also good for the future for warranty because you can always go back, have pictures for that project, what has been done. And also, yeah, also once the project has been accepted by the subcontractor, they'll have to they'll have to be a window, a spot for uh progress to upload photos, progress photos, you know, and special special details that has been worked around and what not. Maybe some complicated chimney area and that's in a valley or something, you know. It's good to have those notes for the future because after a year or two you forget that you even did that job. You know? Never mind 20, 30 years later they're going to call you for some warranty or what not, you never know.
2026-05-01 19:13  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 11s]: But hey man, I appreciate your work. Really, really nice and professional. I got a lot of good comments, very positive comments. You're a rockstar, bro.
2026-05-01 21:01  Florian Disterhoft: Haha thanks 😄 ok perfect, that gives me a good idea to adjust the tools 👍
2026-05-01 22:01  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO]
2026-05-01 22:01  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 15s]: Hey, this uh when you click on the search, that's how it pops out. And um under the portal, I still can't sign out. It still like jumps around. Anyway, just wanted to let you know.
2026-05-02 08:43  Florian Disterhoft: Ok, ya it's interesting that on Apple it shows something completely different. I'll address those issues soon 👍
2026-05-02 09:43  Florian Disterhoft: Fixed now
2026-05-02 09:54  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 12s]: Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I try going on Google and Apple, but again, it must work on both.
2026-05-02 09:58  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 51s]: Ja, genau. It's just interesting because I, um, I always make it look, I try to make it look perfect, like so it looks great on iPhone and or I mean on phone, on mobile phone, but then I didn't realize that, uh, there's a difference between Chrome browser and Safari. So, yeah, it's just they use a different way of rendering things and they have a little bit different code, you know. So I, I have to keep that in mind and then once in a while check through iPhone, because to me everything looks great, but, uh, but die sind bestimmt einige Sachen, die so ein bisschen out of place sind und so, things that behave differently. So yeah, just have to keep, I'll have to keep that in mind. Maybe I have to ask a friend for iPhone or something and then go through the site just to make sure it's looks just as good as on Android.
2026-05-02 10:02  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 35s]: Yeah, well, that's why I keep sending you these pictures as soon as I notice something. I mean, I've been going more and more often to my website actually to show to customers. Which is pretty convenient to have your own catalog basically at a tip of your fingers. So there are a few things that I always notice and I send them right away. I feel like, oh, I have photos as well to be updated from Zager. Quite a bit of photos. They're more professional, professionally taking photos.

2026-05-02 11:15  Florian Disterhoft: Nice! Should they just go on the gallery? Or some also on the main page
2026-05-02 11:15  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 8s]: Yeah, see whatever suits suitable. How about that?
2026-05-02 11:23  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 29s]: Yeah, I think uh, it would be nice to have one or two pictures actually of people working on the main hero page, you know, in that slideshow kind of thing. And then also maybe um, a few seconds of that video that you sent in because it's pretty short. Um, yeah, and then I'll add it also to the gallery. Maybe I'll update some of the pictures uh, on the contact page or so as well. But yeah, I'll probably do that on Monday then.
2026-05-02 11:35  Florian Disterhoft: [FILE: (File not included. Change data exporting settings to download.)] [VIDEO]
2026-05-02 14:30  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 26s]: I'll ask Zege to forward you all those pictures and videos that he took so far. Um, I just thought about this. I also have to create a contract, a purchase order. I think I sent that to you already for subcontractors, a purchase order and a contract for the clients because some clients like to get the contract.
2026-05-02 16:30  Florian Disterhoft: Ok noted. I'll follow up with you on that
2026-05-05 21:41  Viktor Hekalov: Hey we a should add ntm to my web page
2026-05-05 21:41  Viktor Hekalov: Ntm is the machine that I have that makes the panels
2026-05-05 22:16  Florian Disterhoft: Sounds good. Ya I replied on WhatsApp. Would you like to include a card (section) with a pic of your model or something as well?
2026-05-05 22:17  Florian Disterhoft: Or under products at the very top
2026-05-05 22:17  Viktor Hekalov: No just the main brand
2026-05-05 22:17  Viktor Hekalov: Ntm
2026-05-06 15:25  Viktor Hekalov: https://maps.app.goo.gl/WbwKKsyFkBFdjLqU9?g_st=it
2026-05-06 15:26  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 39s]: Hey Florian. I hope you're doing well. Um, remember we talked about potentially being able to calculate the roof square footage from Google Maps. I sent you a location. I need I need um a take off from the entire village there, every single roof. You think that's uh possible? I know, it's a lot of work, but I'm just curious if that works.
2026-05-06 15:27  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 21s]: Hey, doing well, thank you. Um, yeah, I can definitely try that. I'm actually excited to do it. Um, yeah, I think once I have one roof down, then it's pretty much just plugging in the other ones, right? So, yeah, for sure. I can get on that.
2026-05-06 15:29  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 30s]: Yeah, that'll be very awesome if that works. I was just on my way back from Lytton right now. They want to do this is like 10 minutes from Lytton. They're so afraid of the fire. They already had a fire this year. And they want to fire smart their buildings. Entire reserve, halt on both sides of the highway. Like every single roof that you see on the reserve.
2026-05-06 15:30  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 172s]: Uh, yeah, I've been working on your website here. Um, so I added those logos on the main page. You'll see at the bottom. I added um NTM New Tech Machinery and Sturtz. Sturtz. Added those two logos and then added the photos that you sent me on the gallery and then also the video and a couple more photos on the main page. Um, and then on the portal, I'm also yeah, I did a couple of things. I added a contacts page because you you're going to want to keep track of contacts so you don't always have to retype them out, you know. Same for company companies, like it's going to automatically save them. And then you can just pick them from a dropdown list when you're creating new projects. And yeah, check out the new projects button. So when you press the plus on the projects on the main screen, um, yeah, you can type your client general general contractor name and then the address right away, actually, you have to just allow location. And then it right away searches for your current address. So let's say you're on site, it right away puts the pin right where the address is. And then you can just move the map around. And I integrated three different maps, Google, Bing, and Open Street. Just because I know sometimes um Google doesn't have the newest location, like some of the roads um like let's say Lytton burned down. Uh a lot of the roads are not visible on Google Maps, like it takes a couple months until they update, you know. So, um that's why I added three different maps and you can cycle between them. First of all, yeah, it's on by default on satellite view. So you can kind of see where you're at exactly, but then you can untoggle it and then you see the the roads. Um yeah, and then you also have a button to have them all three side by side so you can kind of you know exactly where you are and then you just create the project and then go from there, you know. So, yeah. Um kind of some things I did and also when you swipe a project now, let's say you want to archive it or delete it, you swipe from left to right or from right to left on the project. You'll see a pretty cool animation. Um and then yeah, I'm now trying to get into the actual tools inside the portal. Um like photos and so, like proper tagging system. And then also um the other things that you asked about sharing with subcontractors and so. Um yeah, making a long message because I hear you're in your truck. You probably have a little bit of time to listen, eh?
2026-05-06 15:32  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 60s]: I guess that's pretty good for you, eh? That they all, they're scared of the fires and you have to redo all their roofs, eh? Man, that's a lot of work. It's probably just annoying driving out there all the time. But as long as you don't personally have to do it. Um, yeah. Uh, yeah, I also wanted to mention that with the maps, uh, that I already integrated there. Um, I did that because I knew I'm gonna, I'm gonna use those tools after anyways, because for each map you need a specific API, like an account. Um, I was also gonna add Apple Maps because they, I noticed they have pretty nice updated, um, roads a lot of times. But unfortunately it cost 100 bucks a year to get their API key. So I just skipped that one. I guess we'll have to just manually, um, use Apple Maps if if we have to. Yeah, those are some of the things that I did on the portal. Um, probably a lot more background work that I haven't mentioned, but yeah, actively plowing away.
2026-05-06 15:32  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 44s]: Awesome, yeah, thank you. I know it looks pretty clean, man. Dude, I get so many compliments. Like I actually talked to a web web designer yesterday at the camp in Lipton. And I'm like, yo, check this out. He's like, bro, it looks so cool. He was he was really amazed. Good job, man. You did a really good job so far. Proud of you, bro. Um for the portal, can we also add another Can I add new people? Do you think that's uh possible? For example, I want to add Chris. Chris Stober.
2026-05-06 15:36  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 64s]: Yeah, thank you for the compliments as well. That's fun. I mean, I like when things are, you know, clean and they work properly. And yeah, adding um new users, for sure that's uh also a function that needs to be uh, you know, refined. Um, yeah, I I'll I'll try to get on that soon. So you can add more people, more users. Um, yeah, and uh just a side note, I noticed the numbers that I looked at, I I told you 70,000 people viewed your site. I was kind of shocked. But then I looked in into it a little bit more deeper. I was like, that can't be right, you know. And I found out that it's actually that includes like bots and every element that gets loaded. It's actually more around like 100 people per month. So 100 different users, including me and you, you know. Um, so yeah, it's a little bit less, but I think it's going to grow eventually.
2026-05-06 15:36  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 110s]: Yeah, I got lots of time to listen. Yeah, um, yeah, if we can get the portal working, that'll be awesome. Also, I need to create, maybe I should sit down with you. I gotta create a subcontractor contract, you know? Outlining all the details, you know, that they gotta take the garbage back to the dump or whatever, dispose it, and yada yada. And the other thing is, from the portal, when I when we put like, let's say, I put a client's address in there, the job, the whole info is saved there, right? It will be nice to get a link or a button to create warranty right away, you know? Create warranty or purchase order, create purchase order right away. It creates a form, it'll create a form from the details that I put into the project, let's say, stripping asphalt shingles, installing high-temp peel and stick, um, Onyx Black, textured steel, 26 gauge, 24 gauge. So, so different details. It's all in there, and if the job is approved, I just click one button and it creates a purchase order, and I just sent that off to the subcontractor. Everything is in detail right away, you know what I mean? That would be really handy. Because, man, I spent so much time repeating myself everywhere.
2026-05-06 15:37  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 13s]: Yeah, that's pretty awesome with the maps. Definitely handy. I mean, I don't need Apple Maps. It's good the way it is already.
2026-05-06 15:38  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 36s]: Yeah, it is good. It's a lot of work. It's a lot of money, man. A lot of stuff. I actually like it out there. I would consider having a cottage out there. It's so peaceful. You're disconnected from the world. It's actually so calm. Just super windy and hot. But there's literally nothing. There's horses running around in a field, like just got snow, like It's kind of funny. But it's it's really neat actually.
2026-05-06 15:40  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 30s]: Oh, wow. Yeah, I thought, man, that's a lot of people. 20,000 one month, that's insane. Yeah, 100 is a lot less, bro. This is like 10,000% less. Okay. Because if I think if I had 20,000 people going to the website, that's I don't know. There's got to be a lot of sales. But yeah.
2026-05-06 15:41  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 13s]: I really like that video you put on the main page, that looks so nice. And yeah, thanks for adding the the machinery and the tools.
2026-05-06 15:42  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 16s]: Hey, I noticed that logo is a bit that Sturtz company. I'm I don't recognize that logo. I think you put a wrong company unless they updated their logo. I'm going to check it out.
2026-05-06 15:42  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 8s]: And you can't click on those uh companies yet, eh? I noticed, I tried to click on it. It didn't work.
2026-05-06 15:43  Florian Disterhoft: Ok, ya I'll make the logo clickable
2026-05-06 15:43  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 13s]: Okay, never mind. I I know this company. But I don't have their tools yet. Maybe I should buy one then.
2026-05-06 15:44  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 22s]: Yeah, I just kind of checked out that company. Um, I don't think they make metal products. Um, there's a different company Stortz, it's called Stortz. It's a distributor for tools in North America.

2026-05-06 15:49  Florian Disterhoft: Ah ok 😅 I'll swap it

2026-05-07 09:00  Viktor Hekalov: Wow
2026-05-07 09:00  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 100s]: I actually realized that using AI to calculate the square footage uh automatically, um especially with Google Photos is going to be kind of problematic. Unfortunately, because um yeah, it's it's just really hard to make out what is part of a roof and what not, you know? Um yeah, when when I look at I I tried to look at probably 10 different satellite providers that take pictures of the Earth, and I tried to look at them all, and it looks like Google Earth has the most sharp image. Um and then when you zoom in, even then it's really hard to make out what the roof is, you know? So you're going to have to judge by yourself and kind of just click on what you see. But the AI is not able to differentiate from, you know, shadows and this and that, like it's just going to pretty much go by a roof color and then anything that's not that color, it's going to kind of ignore, you know? So I think the best way is to do it manually. But yeah, um it doesn't take long a long time, right? Because um you just have to zoom into the roof and then just with a maybe if you have a stylus pen or something, and then just you can be a little bit more accurate and then just draw out each um each point of the roof. And then it gives you a square footage according to uh how far you zoomed in, you know?
2026-05-07 09:03  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 31s]: That's awesome. So um yeah, I'll have to go there and determine the pitch of the roof. Technically, whatever this number is, there's a multiplier you can multiply it by the pitch. But this gives me a very, very good idea. Very good idea. I mean, the roofs that show 1,000 Yeah. This is really awesome.
2026-05-07 09:12  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 78s]: Yeah, I think it's not gonna be crazy off, right? It's gonna be approximately in that ballpark. Could be 100 square feet off. Um, but yeah, roof pitch, I guess, does make a difference. Um, I also have all the houses in a list form, like all the data. Um, yeah, technically with uh Excel. Or yeah, if I have all the numbers calculating the pitch, if you just give me the pitch, then I can plug it into AI and it's gonna spit out the whole list, you know. And then also, you know, if you add on like 10% or whatever. Um, but yeah, I mean, I would probably recommend to measure one of these roofs and just kind of compare what it uh how much approximately it's off and then you can, you know, use that as a reference. But yeah, I guess, yeah, we we're gonna have to do it manually or I guess you will in the future. But yeah, I'll try to find a way so it's the easiest for you. Maybe on the Google Earth app. Um, yeah, maybe uh I I'm pretty sure it has the features built in there. Um, yeah, so you pretty much you can zoom in right to the house and then um draw a perimeter around it, around the roof and it's gonna show you the square footage. So, that's one way of doing it.

2026-05-07 14:39  Viktor Hekalov: [FILE: Skycrew 2026 Product Guid .pdf]
2026-05-07 14:40  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 64s]: Hello Florian. Hey, I just sent you my product guide. Um, in there you'll see the square and the half-round gutters. Would it be possible to create an Excel um, form or sheet, whatever you want to call it, with the product name and price and just on a side where I can add the quantity of each item? I think this will be so helpful if I just go on it, punch in 20 of these, five of these, 200 of those pieces, boom, boom, boom, and I get a total amount right away. And after it calculates it, I was wondering if it could if I could convert it into my Skycrew um, estimate and invoice. I can maybe send you a couple so you can have an idea.
2026-05-07 14:46  Florian Disterhoft: Sure, send me an invoice and estimate example that you already have, and I can create it. 
I might be able to integrate it into the portal
2026-05-07 14:48  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO]
2026-05-07 14:48  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 8s]: Hey, something like this okay? Or should I physically email you the invoice and estimate?
2026-05-07 14:48  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 19s]: Um, yeah, if you wanted to look exactly the way you have it there, like the same design and everything, then you can email it to me, but if you only care that it like looks very similar to it, um, I can also create something from scratch, I think.
2026-05-07 14:50  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 24s]: I mean, theoretically, I'll be I'll have to open a new company for the gutters. So, maybe we should make a new invoice, I don't know. Honestly, there's so much going on right now. I I can't wrap my head around everything.
2026-05-07 14:53  Florian Disterhoft: Ok I'll try to resemble it to look similar to that one.
2026-05-07 14:53  Florian Disterhoft: We can change the info later if you open another company with different GST# etc
2026-05-07 14:59  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 63s]: Hey Flo. Um, here's another thing. Those houses that you did the rough estimate. I noticed some of them, there's some more that has to be added on some, some roofs. But if we can have a a screenshot of all of those roofs, I could stop by. We'll go by 6/12 roughly, and we'll multiply it the flat area by that uh 6/12 uh multiplier. And then we'll get a rough idea, and I'll add like 15% cutting waste. Would we be able to, would you be able to create um instant invoices? Because this is a huge shot and uh I kind of I don't want to miss out on it, and I need a rough numbers. I just got off the phone with the band. Yeah.
2026-05-07 14:59  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 11s]: How about tomorrow? Um, are you occupied tomorrow? Or would you like to go out to I mean, I don't know what your schedule is like. When could we um get together and go over this?
2026-05-07 15:08  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 95s]: Oh man, that sucks. I'm in Alberta right now, actually. So, yeah, but I'm planning to drive back tomorrow. Uh, so I'll be back in the evening, hopefully, or maybe Saturday. So, yeah, meeting up is not going to be an option, unfortunately. But, um, yeah, if you, if you want to get that job, you haven't yet got approval, you probably just have to quote it out. I can put the priority on that. Um, yeah, and adjust the lines a little bit, you know. I think I did pretty rough, like I just went really quick, but I can try to zoom in a little bit more and try to focus and also look at the houses themselves from uh, the street view, because I noticed there's one building, like the red building, it's really hard to make out what the roofs are. I mean, it has like a hundred different slopes on that one, but, um, yeah, I think it would be possible to plug it in, um, and then, uh, yeah, if you want just everything on a 6/12 slope, uh, the formula can be added, and then, um, yeah, to calculate right away, and it would create, um, like quotes right away, you know. Uh, if you give me the price and the material and stuff, whatever is necessary, then kann man die auf jeden Fall alle machen. Und dann auch mit Adresse und so, you know, like with building number, according to the map, I guess. Um, and then, yeah, we can create all those invoices or, I mean, quotes.
2026-05-07 15:53  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 34s]: Hey Florian, enjoy your trip. Don't sweat about it. Enjoy and relax. I will uh contact you or you contact me when you're back. A quick note. I also have to create a form for ordering the gutters. Flo, I'm gonna keep you busy for for a bit here. Hope that's all right with you. But let's chat about that when you're back. Drive safe. Have a nice trip.
2026-05-07 15:55  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 49s]: coding. You would have to pay as much as you use. And uh yeah, I probably use I don't know how many tokens per day, but it's worth hundreds of dollars per day. But I get it for free right now. I have a way of creating uh these trial accounts and then I'm kind of using it like that. So, yeah, going to do a lot of it while we still can. No problem.
2026-05-07 15:56  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 45s]: And yeah, I went on this trip uh here to Alberta just cuz um yeah, my wife is after the pregnancy, right? So I would have to work from home anyways. And uh this way it's better cuz the kids are busy and I actually brought my whole computer here. So I've been working from here all week and tomorrow as well, I can work on your stuff. Um yeah, we're gonna leave towards the afternoon or evening. So yeah, I can try to at least get that um the ordering thing ready um for the products and then also for the that Indian reserve there, the roofs. But yeah, vielleicht musst du mir dann noch mal genauer erklären, wie du genau das haben willst.
2026-05-07 15:57  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 31s]: Oh shoot, I don't know why the message cut off there in the beginning. I think I was saying that they're changing the rules for AI and there won't be any like monthly subscriptions based anymore. It'll only go by how much you use with how many tokens per input. Um, yeah, so they're changing that subscription, that's why we should take advantage of it. I think it's starting in June, early June, they're changing the rules.
2026-05-07 16:04  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 23s]: Hey, the first message, the first 30 seconds are cut out. Something about tokens. I mean, hey, if you if you get it for free right now, that's great, but later on, yeah, if I have to compensate you, that's not a problem, my friend. I mean, this is also not an everyday thing. This is the first time I'm actually doing a big job like this. Big site.
2026-05-08 15:14  Florian Disterhoft: https://skycrewltd.ca/tools/siska-roof-estimates/
2026-05-08 15:15  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 8s]: Hey dude, that's so cool. That is so cool. You should add beside it $15 a square foot. I want to see what the price is come out to.
2026-05-08 15:16  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 30s]: Hey Viktor. Here's the list of all the properties. Um Yeah, check it out. Let me know if something needs to be updated. But yeah, this is for rough estimates and um you can just put in the price. And if you want to convert them to invoices or quotes, can do that too. Just uh provide me with the details of what material, what color, what what everything and I can create all the invoices, I think.
2026-05-08 15:16  Viktor Hekalov: Nvm I just did it 😅
2026-05-08 15:16  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 26s]: Ja, and uh I also left you like individually, you can change the slope. Ich habe dir extra Bilder attached. So you can kind of look at this roof and, you know, uh approximately. And if you want to do it exactly, you would have to drive there and then just find out what the slope is and yeah, if you want, you can like measure one of the roofs yourselves and then see what the difference is, you know.
2026-05-08 15:17  Viktor Hekalov: Bro that’s amazing
2026-05-08 15:17  Viktor Hekalov: !!!!!
2026-05-08 15:17  Florian Disterhoft: Haha glad you like it 😄
2026-05-08 15:17  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 13s]: Dude, what a game changer. That is awesome, bro. That is awesome. I'm gonna give you a round of applause. Bro, that's amazing. That just changed my life.
2026-05-08 15:18  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 28s]: That's funny, man. Yeah, imagine you had to measure out all, let's say, 26 buildings. It'll probably take you like two full days, eh? Um, yeah, I mean, it's not even that hard. Und ich denke, ich will das einbauen in die website, so you can actually draw those lines right away. So you'll have like a maps view and then you can draw the lines and then you'll get the square footage right there and then. So yeah, we can make your workflow easy.
2026-05-08 15:27  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 60s]: Yeah, I just gotta bring my workflow tool to work. Yeah, man. Ich denke sogar, ja, zwei volle Tage auf jeden Fall, denke ich mal. It's it's a lot of work. I mean, I'm going out there next early next week, Tuesday probably. And I will confirm the numbers. And if you can add this, yeah, to the to the tool, to the website, that'll be fantastic, man. Das wäre richtig Hammer. Like you just upload it from this website, the pictures, and then you can maybe do also personal photos from the road or from the roof. And then from there, click a button to um create drop order, PO, you know, purchase order. Stuff like that. And then, oh man, this just makes everything so much better.
2026-05-08 15:29  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 35s]: Hey Flo, do you still take pictures of projects? I mean, I've been using this Zage guy. I just want to try out different people as well. Because everybody has their own, I feel I think you'd be a better fit than him. Just saying. But I obviously understand you're occupied and stuff, but I was wondering maybe there would be an opportunity sometime, you know? Just to try one out or so.
2026-05-08 15:46  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 16s]: But hey Flo, um, whenever you have time again, no rush. We should maybe work on the icon for the browser, you know what I mean? When I share something.
2026-05-08 15:47  Viktor Hekalov: https://skycrewltd.ca/products/banff.html
2026-05-08 15:47  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 4s]: Oh, no, it shows nothing. Huh. Let me try the gutter.
2026-05-08 15:47  Viktor Hekalov: https://skycrewltd.ca/products/end-cup-universal.html
2026-05-08 15:48  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 10s]: Oh, I guess it's uh completely gone now. Der Vorbau auf der linken Seite so ein Bild so das Logo. Also habe ich so ein App aus.
2026-05-08 15:49  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 99s]: Okay. Yeah, that should be a quick fix for me. I'll see if I can do that right away. Yeah, and I'm just uh trying to do that right now with the 26 projects. 'Cause right now we have it set up. Yeah, 'cause Tuesday I'm going to start working there, right? Or start measuring. Um I'm going to 'cause right now we have it set up. See, like every part that we add to the project, muss ich halt immer richtig durchdenken und immer so einen Plan machen. Weil jetzt gerade haben wir individual projects. Each project has its own card and its own address, you know? But if it's a group project, where there's 26 different houses, I'm going to make it like a folder. So then um it's going to be called Sis Sisqa Indian Band. And then you click on it and then you see all the 26 projects inside of there and they all have their own address, you know? 'Cause then you can assign, you know, different different houses, buildings to different contractors. So yeah, I want to get that going and then all the photos will be imported right away into the projects. But the tools in these noch nicht ganz durchgearbeitet. I was working yesterday on the photos alone just to make it uh more usable. Um Yeah, but uh yeah, da sind noch ein paar Sachen Tools, die ich umändern muss. Just refine them, you know, so they save properly and they're fun to use. Um Yeah. So that's what I'm doing. And then yeah, with the sharing the link so you can have the proper logo. Guess I'll listen to your voice messages here.
2026-05-08 15:50  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 44s]: Yeah, I think um it it was a logo that it created itself. The AI, just for the app, you know, it's like a it was like a temporary logo, but I think yeah, when you share the link on WhatsApp, I think that's when it renders the preview and then you you will be able to see it. So yeah, I'll I'll make sure that it's is changed. And I think also the website, I don't know if you noticed, also in my browser, um the top bar and the bottom changes into yellow because the page, I guess, has that signature somehow. Yeah, I'll try to change it to black or something. Yeah, so the page doesn't load into like in yellow, you know, the the the URL bar.
2026-05-08 15:50  Viktor Hekalov: Yes exactly
2026-05-08 15:53  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 67s]: Okay. Yeah, for sure having a separate folder like that is perfect. Basically, my idea is that can student the platform Procore or Builder Trend. Those are softwares, they cost like $2,000 a month. And inside there, they have all kind of management, like project management, the drawings are loaded up for the house, architectural engineering, civil engineering, you know, all that stuff is in there. Contractor, subcontractors, bid tenders, contracts, alles, einfach alles ist dort organized. But $2,000 a month, I just can't justify. 24 grand, I can rent another cottage somewhere, you know what I mean? And for the whole year and have a cottage. But it's just so convenient that app. So, I have access to it through other builders. I could um send a link, maybe you can check it out. Yeah.
2026-05-08 15:56  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 83s]: Ja, please send me a link. I actually I already downloaded like probably five, seven different apps. Um, just to get ideas, you know, because it's it's not easy because I'm building everything from scratch pretty much. And then I always always have to understand the logic and like what would make most sense, you know? That's why it takes longer, like if I understand what needs to be done, if I have a really nice example, I could try to match it or make it even better, you know, like even nicer. Um, but yeah, I mean, yeah, those apps, they're definitely, they have developers, like probably hundreds of people working on it. But yeah, we can get something close maybe. Um, I mean sharing with all different kinds of trades, das ist auf jeden Fall möglich, das ist kein Problem. So, yeah, please send me a login info. I just downloaded both apps, I forgot what you called them. I downloaded them right away. Um, yeah, if you have the login, then kannst du auf jeden Fall, I can copy a lot of their, you know, things, but yeah, 20 grand, that's crazy. Imagine we can build it for free, hey? Like for you, so you can have it and not have to pay that, that would be really great.
2026-05-08 15:58  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 38s]: By the way, I'm about to send you an invoice. Um yeah, I thought I would just always do two weeks and then send you an invoice, you know. Then the invoice is still a little bit lower. Yeah, I always feel bad sending you an invoice, but I guess the work has been done, the time has been spent. And um yeah, I try my best to be the most efficient as possible. So, yeah, I'll send you a summarized summarization as well, just a PDF, just to to look back on what I actually did, you know. Yeah.
2026-05-08 16:00  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 31s]: Yeah, I just logged into the app, but I see, I get invited. You have to be invited. You can't just log into people's things. So maybe we should get together and I'll somehow log into your through your phone, because it's connected to my Google account. Like, I signed signed in with my Google account. But maybe I can open a window somehow on your computer and then it can be opened for you.
2026-05-08 16:01  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO]
2026-05-08 16:02  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 21s]: See that's just the homepage when I log in through my account. But hey, dude, it is what it is. What can you do? I'm asking you to help me out, so I want to make sure that you get compensated for your work, right? It's only fair.
2026-05-08 16:05  Viktor Hekalov: [FILE: (File not included. Change data exporting settings to download.)] [VIDEO]
2026-05-08 16:05  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 5s]: Hey, I just send you a little quick a quick video recording.
2026-05-08 16:15  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 64s]: Okay, yeah, maybe we should just meet sometime next week. And um yeah, I think I'm gonna be probably back on site at Avalanche on Monday, but vielleicht kann man irgendwie nach Arbeit jetzt kurz ein Meeting machen. And then, yeah, vielleicht kann ich dann immer so zwei, drei Tage die Woche an dein Projekt arbeiten. Und dann, yeah, I wanna get a little bit of physical activity, weil ich habe jetzt zwei Wochen nicht, also nur am Computer gesessen. I guess it was perfect because my wife was pregnant. Und dann will Eugen auch, dass ich für ihn ein Magazine designe, so might have to sit on the computer even more. So, yeah, und dann können wir ja vielleicht ein Meeting machen und dann um we can look at, I can check out the app a little bit more in detail. Um yeah. Uh then kann ich auf jeden Fall get a better view of how everything is set up and then make it look even more interactive, even refined, you know.
2026-05-08 16:17  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 5s]: The catalog and a magazine for his windows. Let me guess.
2026-05-08 16:18  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 21s]: Yeah, the whole website is very refined already, man. It looks super cool. I love it. More importantly, customers love it. They're like, "Whoa, that looks good," you know? So, I never used to care so much about it. Never thought it was that big of a deal, but it turns out it's a very big deal.
2026-05-08 16:23  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 33s]: Always makes me smile hearing comments like that. Dann fühlt sich das so an, dass ich doch zu etwas gebraucht zu gebrauchen bin, ja. And uh yeah, he wants to do a catalog for just his website pretty much. He just wants to be able to give people a physical copy of all his products and everything. Der hat mich eigentlich schon vor einem Monat gefragt, but I keep pushing it off. But yeah. Alright, sounds great. I guess that's it for the day. Have a great weekend, eh?
2026-05-09 09:10  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO]
2026-05-09 09:10  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 27s]: Hey Florian, I was just running uh a project here. And I'm unable to put the square footage in unless I do the whole calculation through the through that Google Map or whatever. It would be nice for me to put it manually in though. So I don't have to always calculate it. I can so I can put manually in. The square footage.
2026-05-09 09:12  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 36s]: Okay, Victor. Um, yeah, I'll look into that. Yeah, that measurement measurement tool definitely needs um complete overhaul refinement. Because yeah, there's it just has all the details, like all the functions are there but they're not really user-friendly right now, you know. So yeah, ich muss I have to revamp the whole measurement system. So you can add those informations and get rid of a couple of tabs and so, yeah. Make it more mobile-friendly. So yeah, I'll look into that.
2026-05-09 09:13  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 29s]: Yeah, it would be nice to use it or just skip that one, you know? Just enter it manually. For example, I have this job, I already have the square footage. I don't want to go and punch it in and measure it again on the app. So this way I can just punch in the numbers, the area, click on the area, put in 3,400 square feet. Cutting waste, everything else is nice. Yeah.
2026-05-09 09:13  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 7s]: But then this page is specifically made for that, eh? So Yeah.
2026-05-09 11:31  Florian Disterhoft: Ok, hab ganz kurz diese dinge geändert:
2026-05-09 11:32  Florian Disterhoft: Roof-plane Area field is now editable 
(Measurements → Step 4: Roof Planes) — previously the Area box was greyed out / auto-calculated. Now you can manually type in a number when you already know the area (e.g. from an existing estimate). Auto-calc still works as a fallback when the field is empty. Edits are saved automatically.

Fixed the yellow Chrome address bar
the browser's top bar was tinting gold on every page; it now stays black/neutral, looking much cleaner on phones.

Fixed link previews on WhatsApp / Telegram / iMessage
When sharing a product page, the preview used to show our gold "install app" icon. It now shows a proper Skycrew Sheet Metal logo card. Applied across all 117 product pages.

2026-05-11 09:15  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 15s]: Hey Florian. Hey, I just logged into my brother's account and the Indian band is there and I just forwarded him a different project. But I don't think it seems to be working. It just says loading.
2026-05-11 09:16  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 10s]: And I don't want my brother to see all those other contracts. So I'm gonna have to maybe I'll manually delete this one right now myself.
2026-05-11 09:21  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 77s]: Okay, uh no worries. Yeah, I can das ändern. I didn't I I don't think I logged into David's account once yet, cuz uh yeah, technically I should like safeguard all the features that aren't finalized yet or at least, yeah, I think I just left everything open just to test so you can give feedback, you know, so I can change things. Um yeah, so David's portal is not at all uh functional pretty much. I mean, it exists, but yeah, it's not connected yet, so um but yeah, I can hide those things and then um at least, I think uh some functions are ready, like like for example, the measurement tool technically works and then also photos and stuff. The photos will get stored. Same with notes. Um yeah, I mean, they're not as beautiful as they should be, like or perfectly laid out. So, I'll try to get it working so you can at least start using the portal, saving stuff, and then as we go, it's going to be more, you know, refined and stuff. And then and then yeah, I'll make sure that David, um he doesn't see those projects and then only whatever you share with him. I'll get started on that right away.
2026-05-11 09:21  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 9s]: Just got back last night, kinda late, and uh, just got some coffees now, so I'm about to start work now.
2026-05-11 09:22  Viktor Hekalov: They should not have access to my documents 😁
2026-05-11 09:24  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 47s]: Yeah, it would be nice for me to add users, subcontractors and delete them, you know what I mean? So I can add David Hekalo, Andre Hekalo, Chris Stoba, or um, Sheman, like all those subcontractors. So I can put them on, assign certain things to them and to remove them. I want to have all the tools to do that, but they should be restricted, not being able to enter the my domain there. But yeah, again, I'm starting to use it and I'm just sharing feedback with you as soon as something doesn't seem to align right or it doesn't work right.
2026-05-11 09:24  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 18s]: Ach so, you just got here. I thought you got back, um, last time we talked. Hey, welcome back. To the Okanagan. That's a typical phrase everybody always uses. What?
2026-05-11 09:25  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 25s]: Yeah, so basically, I'm just gonna be running this portal non-stop and this week I'm gonna go to Lytton probably tomorrow. And I'll be doing take-offs on projects on those roofs and see how everything uh aligned and I wanna add stuff and blah blah blah.
2026-05-11 09:25  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO]
2026-05-11 09:26  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 33s]: Hey Flo, just another quick note on the purchase order. We should have an automated text that outlines terms and conditions. I mean, I can come and meet you. Basic rules for the job site and then if I click on it, I just put in the address and the subcontractor and the price and whatnot. I think I sent you one before already.
2026-05-11 09:28  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 65s]: Okay, no that's good. Thank you. Um for the feedback. Yeah, let me know as soon as you you notice something. And uh yeah, for sure. I'll I will always prior prioritize whatever you mention, you know, because I could be caught up in something that I think is more important, but then um yeah, the things that you notice are, you know, definitely more urgent. So, I'll I'll do those things because you probably already shared the login and stuff, hey? Um yeah, I'll work on that today. And yeah, the purchase purchase order. Um okay, yeah, I will go back to the PDF that you sent me because you sent me a purchase order list kind of and then make it the same format and then it's going to have the address automatically filled in because the project already has the address, you know. So, it's pretty nice that way. Everything lives under that. And then you just assign the subcontractor. Okay, I I will get those things done and then if anything, I'll ask you if there's any more questions.
2026-05-11 09:30  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 35s]: Yeah, that'll be perfect. Yeah, I just want to, like I said, I want to make sure everything works on this platform. And Yeah, I'm pretty sure I send you the purchase order. Yeah, it's just so, it's so nice, then everybody, it's a, it's basically a contract, right? It's a, it's a contract receipt for the subcontractor. And they know everything what to do. You we can just basically copy the one that I send you from Copper Island Fine Homes. It's pretty basic. I think.
2026-05-11 09:33  Florian Disterhoft: Ok 👍
2026-05-11 09:34  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 13s]: Not sure what your schedule is like, but I could potentially stop by at some point today. And then we can just quickly together go over everything. If that helps.
2026-05-11 09:35  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 20s]: Yeah, sure. You could come by anytime. Um, I'm gonna be at home. So, um, yeah, we could talk through a little bit more of exactly what you want. So, yeah. So yeah, let me know whenever you want, you can come by.
2026-05-11 09:36  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 10s]: It sounds good. I'm just gonna quickly go to my acreage. Talk to the Mama landscapers and I'll stop by.
2026-05-11 10:49  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 38s]: Hey Flo, um, something came up. I won't be able to come right away. But I got this idea. We should uh also install on the portal for the subcontractors a scale with achievements, you know what I mean? One roof achievement, 10 roof, 20 roofs, you know what I mean? It'll keep track of all their all the work and the square footage they installed, you know what I mean? That'd be pretty cool. It'll be motivating. Again, that's extra. Just an idea.
2026-05-11 10:53  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 54s]: Yeah, that's pretty cool idea. Um, I think I also did a live stream scheduler uh for our live live stream team for our church. And yeah, it's completely autonomous. Everything happens automatically, swaps and everything if somebody can't make it. Pretty cool and I also integrated like a leaderboard. And then you can see like who picked up the most shifts and yeah, definitely it's it's not that hard to do actually. And then they would be able to track by month, by year, and then it would continue, you know? It would they would see how many projects, how many square footage and everything. So, yeah. Could be keep them motivated, you know? Okay, uh let me know whenever you have time to come. Um, no rush.
2026-05-13 21:45  Viktor Hekalov: Hey did you change the pin?
2026-05-13 21:45  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO]
2026-05-13 21:45  Florian Disterhoft: 202026
2026-05-13 21:45  Florian Disterhoft: Had to update it
2026-05-13 21:46  Florian Disterhoft: 202025 for David
2026-05-13 21:46  Viktor Hekalov: Thanks
2026-05-14 10:17  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 32s]: Hey Florian, how's it going? Hey, quick question. On that portal you created, really nice and neat, for those um 26 units that we roughly estimated. I just went on site and got an accurate reading, measurement of the roof, or a few of them. And I adjusted the price accordingly. Could we somehow just make a shortcut to create an invoice from that right away? Estimate, I mean. That would be really helpful.
2026-05-14 10:20  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 41s]: Okay. Uh yeah, I can do that. Um I can probably create a new card which says create estimate. And uh is there anything that I need in order to create it? Like uh for example, material or like the type of material or um yeah, is there any other details that I need cuz or do I just go by the square footage price, install and material delivery pretty much like a simple line? And uh was it pretty off to what you measured? Like how much was it off? I'm kind of curious.
2026-05-14 10:22  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 6s]: Hey, what I can do is I can send you an estimate right now. I'll send it to your email what I did here in Lytton.
2026-05-14 10:23  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO]
2026-05-14 10:23  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 20s]: So the text, see all the product, whatever, it's on the in the description. And uh, yeah. Basically, I was just at the band and I just had a meeting with them and they want the estimates right away. Yeah.
2026-05-14 10:24  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 29s]: Um, let's basically with all my cutting waste and everything, I put down 45% more cutting waste and it came up to the same number, which is really interesting. So it's, it's definitely quite off. I would say it's 25% off. Ungefähr. At least on this one unit that I measured.
2026-05-14 10:25  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 35s]: I mean, see the thing is this. I would still like to have all the estimates go through this app, but if that's gonna be a problem, I'm pretty sure. Because I I keep track on this app for everything. My simple invoices app, it's just so convenient for me. I can always go back and find things. But I mean, in this case, I have the app now, which uh maybe I could slowly transition and Hey, what if I build an invoice app? Oh, no, not yet. I'm spending too much money on this website already.
2026-05-14 10:27  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 49s]: Yeah, be careful before having more ideas. Cause yeah. This is nice alles zu haben, aber ja, es dauert auf jeden Fall alles Zeit, ne? Um, okay, yeah, that's that's interesting that it's 25% off. I wonder if it's something with Google Maps oder so. Um, yeah, hopefully you measured just a simple roof, maybe with a more complicated roofs. Also the pitch, did you change it for that specific roof to see if it changes the numbers? But yeah, I guess it can't be like perfect, eh? Um, all right, I'll do the quote thing and then see I'll do that right now, so you can get those quotes sent out.
2026-05-14 10:42  Florian Disterhoft: What email address should be on the quotes to sent to?
2026-05-14 10:44  Florian Disterhoft: Also, do you want GST tax on the invoice? I notice on the one that you sent me, just a total number is included
2026-05-14 10:46  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 9s]: Hey Florian, yeah, there's no GST on these uh on these units because they're tax exempt.
2026-05-14 10:46  Florian Disterhoft: Ah these bastards 😂
2026-05-14 10:46  Florian Disterhoft: Jk
2026-05-14 10:47  Florian Disterhoft: Ok and email? Or no email underneath their address
2026-05-14 10:47  Viktor Hekalov: 😂
2026-05-14 10:47  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 7s]: Yeah, I can send you the one that I measured. And you can compare it yourself.
2026-05-14 10:47  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 1s]: Um, yeah, that's what I think.
2026-05-14 10:47  Viktor Hekalov: 2533.25 sq ft
2026-05-14 10:48  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO]
2026-05-14 10:48  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 6s]: Yeah, so I measured this one. It's the very first one. Uh, I forgot. It's Loop Road something.
2026-05-14 10:49  Florian Disterhoft: Ah ok. Still using your notes app i see 😄😉
2026-05-14 10:51  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 11s]: Yeah, I am using my notes. It was just muscle memory. I mean, I just did a rough estimate saying it's 25% off. I have to still sit down and calculate it properly.
2026-05-14 10:52  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO]
2026-05-14 10:52  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 7s]: See, I just went on the portal again and I tried to manually add the square foot and it's not letting me.
2026-05-14 10:54  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 41s]: Okay, uh sorry, um yeah, I think I didn't update that. If you press add roof plane, that's where you can enter it manually. Um yeah, I I think it was on Sunday. I just quickly did it, fixed it because I thought you're going to use it. But yeah, I I'm going to go into that tool and then set it up properly. I've been busy with um making sure that sharing projects works properly, like with David and creating new users and um giving access, restricting access, and then logging in and stuff. So yeah, I'm going to look into that next.
2026-05-14 10:58  Florian Disterhoft: [FILE: Q-SIB-001 — 2142 Susana Rd.pdf]
2026-05-14 11:04  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 5s]: Oh, nice. That invoice looks perfect. That is perfect.
2026-05-14 11:05  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 8s]: Um, I'll have to go into the portal and make sure that we have the right numbers before we make all these estimates.
2026-05-14 11:13  Florian Disterhoft: [FILE: Q-SIB-001 — 2142 Susana Rd (Redesign).pdf]
2026-05-14 11:13  Florian Disterhoft: Yup, almost 1:1 😃
2026-05-14 11:13  Florian Disterhoft: Here is a redesign I ran with Claude. Looks a little bit more professional. What do you think?
2026-05-14 11:33  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 37s]: Yeah, I mean, I don't really care about the invoice or estimate that much really. Um, but sure. The thing is that if I'm going to create these estimates here now, it will be excluded from my software. I mean, I don't know, I don't even know how to do that.
2026-05-14 11:36  Florian Disterhoft: Which software are you using? Maybe I can find a way so you can import them into it so you have them there too, at least for this year
2026-05-14 11:38  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 68s]: Yeah, honestly, now that I think about it, I think it makes sense to have the quote and invoice also in the in the portal. Because it's actually pretty easy to build out. Um, yeah, once everything is set with taking measurements and it has the right square footage, all you would do, you would have sliders just like in the the other thing there. Um, so you have like waste factor and then price, and you can quickly adjust it and then boom, generate quote. And then it would have it in there and you can download it as well as PDF, you know, send it right away to the client even, like, um, yeah, so I think it makes sense to add it, because then everything would be in the same workflow, you know. But yeah, you can still have somehow a backup or import it in your original invoice tool, because the app, because you, I guess you track probably your um, earnings and stuff there as well, right?
2026-05-14 11:41  Viktor Hekalov: 2274 vs 2533.
2026-05-14 11:45  Viktor Hekalov: Invoice simple
2026-05-14 11:45  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 12s]: So that's the difference. I just did the math. It's pretty accurate actually. Um, 200 square feet off, more or less.
2026-05-14 11:46  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 81s]: Yes, Florian. So I use Invoice Simple or Simple Invoices, something like that. It's the orange logo with a check mark in it. Um, yeah, that's the good thing what I why I like it is I can track my estimates. I convert estimate to invoice right away, which is no big deal anymore these days to make. But also when I send the email to a customer, I can see when they opened the email. What time they did. If you could do that, then I would uh switch, 'cause I'm paying like 300 bucks a year for that subscription alone, or maybe it always goes up. It started with 180, then 280, 380, I don't even know. Yeah. The reason why I like it is I can see when you opened the email. You know, there's no excuses. I know exactly. It's just a piece of mind that it got delivered. It says the email got delivered to the address and then when they opened. And it automatically sends an email to my email with the estimate saying that it was sent, which is not that important, but yeah. To me it's important to know when the recipient opened the email.
2026-05-14 11:47  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 20s]: And the reason why is because I've been dealing with these some people way back, you know, you send them an email, they look at it, oh, never received it, oh, it's in spam, it's in this and that. You know, then I'm like, nope, not anymore. You opened it Monday at 8:45 a.m.
2026-05-14 11:48  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 33s]: Okay, let me um go over all the numbers here again and then let's generate these estimates. And yeah, it will be nice to have I guess I'll have to put all my contract contacts. I'll have to have a contact um what's it called? A contact uh app in there with all my contacts for the invoices, you know? And estimate.
2026-05-14 11:48  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 25s]: Florian, like, I get ideas every day. I think by the time we're done this thing, I'll be paying you 20 grand. It's so funny, man. Yeah, I don't know. I have all these thoughts, you know. I kind of already spent a bit over my budget that I anticipated, but what can you do?
2026-05-14 11:51  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 125s]: Yeah, I feel ya. Oh man. Yeah, that's an easy. You have a good, uh, you have a good mind that always thinks further. And I mean, that's how things should be set up technically, you know. Um, you shouldn't have to have 10 different apps and 10 different providers for, you know, this kind of stuff. Um, yeah, everybody's kind of benefiting and nobody's really building one single platform, you know. Well, I'm sure it's probably out there, but it's not integrated. And, um, yeah. Um, yeah, and with the email, with the quote thing, dude, that's very easy to do. I actually thought of it before you mentioned it. I was like, hmm, like what is the, uh, benefit of staying with the other app, you know? I guess you can see the totals and stuff of how much you're making. But even that is easy to implement, you know? Because it can keep track of all your projects. And then the numbers, you would have a chart, you know? Um, and, uh, also regarding the email that gets opened. Uh, yeah, that's totally doable. That's actually very easy. Because the way, um, Invoice Simple does it, um, they send the invoice, or yeah, when you press send, it sends it to yourself and then to the client. And then they have to click open invoice to actually see it. And then since they clicked it, that's when you get notified. And that's pretty easy to copy. So, yeah, I can definitely do that. Um, and also that you get the invoice sent to yourself right away as well. And anything else, like any click, you can even make it that if they click further, like inside the invoice anywhere, on anything, you could also get notified. Because as soon as they press open invoice, they agreed pretty much that you can track any of their movements. Um, okay.
2026-05-14 11:52  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 27s]: Yeah, regarding the invoices for the Sisca band. Um, I think still what I need to confirm is, um, if you have their email address and then also the address, uh, or the Sisca Indian band, is it what it should be called? Bill to. And then just the address. I guess we don't have a lot number, eh? Just the Google Maps addresses.
2026-05-14 11:53  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 27s]: Sorry for the many messages. Um, and yeah, for contacts as well. Um, let me see if you can extract or save, export all the uh, invoice simple contacts, then I could import them all in one go, like, and they would be saved as contacts and then, um, basically when you create a new project, you can pick them like automatically from a list, you know.
2026-05-14 11:55  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 28s]: Hey man, that's awesome. Yeah. I guess I'll have to um educate myself again on this app platform. It would be nice to get together. I'm just so occupied with this week and next week and blah blah blah and no no ending here. But I I would like to sit down and kind of go over everything with you. Because some some things still don't seem to work to function properly.
2026-05-14 11:55  Florian Disterhoft: Open InvoiceSimple

2026-05-14 11:55  Florian Disterhoft: Yes for sure, anytime. I'm at home today and tomorrow
2026-05-14 12:30  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 10s]: I mean, yeah, there is I can see the reports, clients. But yeah, one second.
2026-05-14 12:30  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 26s]: I mean, it's not a big deal. If if we can create something that is gonna be sufficient enough for what I'm doing, then uh I'll uh re-enter. I mean, most of those contacts are like one-time use, you know what I mean? You do the job and that's it. And you're done. So, it's no big deal.
2026-05-14 12:31  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 12s]: But hey, you made this estimate now, right? Like you got can you show me on the video maybe how you did that? This way I don't have to guess around.
2026-05-14 12:31  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 10s]: Because now you're also building this whole thing. And now I need some training too, some education as well. You know.
2026-05-14 12:35  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 61s]: Ja, I did uh the first address as a quote and then I plugged it into the portal and added a quote section. Um I guess, yeah, I would just need the email and just confirm that everything looks good. But uh to implement it now for all the projects, for future projects, um I would have to refine it a little bit more. Just so the address gets imported properly into the quote and then so you have a section where you can edit um you know, the the the description of the different items that you're charging for. Uh but yeah, I'm uh I'm just on right now working on creating like a system so it yeah, you don't have to type in everything manually, so it automatically fills that stuff out in the PDF, you know. Yeah.
2026-05-14 12:37  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 52s]: I guess for a project group like this with 26 different um houses, uh maybe it would be good to send the client just one link, pretty much. Just like you would send open invoice, you know, like with simple invoice. They click open and then they would see uh see that's the the power with AI. You can make it however you want. You wouldn't have to send 26 different invoices or quotes. Uh you would send one thing and then it would show you the summary like total. And then you can click on each individual one and get a pull up the its own quote, you know, as a PDF. But then he also has a summary and you can see exactly what he clicks on. You get notified instead of sending 26 separate ones, you know.
2026-05-14 12:40  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 56s]: Looks like your last message isn't isn't loading. But hey, also another thing, when I sent those estimates from my website, I also need to have my email. Or should I can we create custom emails as well now under this website? For example, like Florian@skycrew.com, whatever. Or no? Because I can just switch everything, uh, I don't know, actually. Because then I'll have to create my own inbox and everything. Oh my goodness. See, I pay for my email too, probably. I don't know how much, 50, 60 bucks a year. But I like it. It's very convenient. It's made in Switzerland.
2026-05-14 12:52  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 113s]: Okay. Uh yeah, that's definitely possible. I just looked into it. Um what plan do you have for Proton? Um yeah, it's a really good service provider actually. I discovered it also not too long ago and um they have like VPN, like they're really privacy focused. They I think one of the best yeah, richtig Hammer, richtig professional and pretty cheap too, hey? Um yeah, if you let me know what you have, I guess there's right now I'm looking free is completely free. Mail Plus is five bucks a month and unlimited is 12.50 a month. So if you set 60 bucks, I am assuming, yeah, it's probably the Mail Plus. Um Okay. Yeah, it looks like you can support one custom domain. Yeah, which is really nice because you can yeah, change basically that your email is gonna be Viktor, you know, at skycrew.ca or whatever you want it to be. And then any email that you send is gonna look like that and any that you receive as well. So uh yeah, whatever people send. And then also I think we we can also set it up for David. Um that he has his own email as well. Well, yeah, if you get the Pro plan or the unlimited plan, you can have three custom domains. Let me look into it a little bit more. But yeah, it's possible also for David, I think, to have that he has his own, but you keep your own email, like the one that you have right now, you know? There it might even be possible to that you downgrade to the free plan and we can still make it work in a different route if you you want that.
2026-05-14 12:55  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 72s]: Yeah, I love Proton Mail. You're right, it's according to my research, it's the probably the safest that there is. And they really care about your privacy. And and yeah, there's a whole variety of like yeah, VPN as well and there's all kinds of apps they have built in their thing. It's it's really user-friendly and I really enjoy it. I had once an issue emailed, boom, within like within the next day someone writes me back. Not a bot, you know, like Yeah. But I mean for now maybe the email will just kind of I don't want to get carried away too much here. I want to focus on now this I mean the website looks I think we're done with the website now, it looks beautiful. And just with the portal right now. Just refine a few things here and there and then take a break. I gotta make some money so I can hire you again, you know.
2026-05-14 12:56  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 33s]: Another thing is that I have to look into advertisement. I got to advertise my products. I got to look into that pretty, pretty soon here. Because now I've now we finished building the site. And yeah. I was wondering, should I add to the website that I also ship to the states because I do. I kind of, I ship worldwide technically. You just have to give me the address. I can ship it to wherever you want in the world.
2026-05-14 13:00  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 52s]: Okay, yeah, for advertisement definitely, um, would be good to include that, that you are able to ship world worldwide. Um, yeah, muss mal gucken. Ich, uh, I'll look into where on the website you can add it. And yeah, I totally understand. Um, definitely I've been spending many hours already on this giant project. And, uh, it definitely gets deeper and deeper. But yeah, I guess I'll just have to refine what is already there, make it workable, and then in the future if you want to add more stuff, like, and, um, then we can, you know, talk about it and add things that are just that will make your life much easier. So, yeah.
2026-05-14 13:01  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 79s]: And yeah, with the email uh changing it. Um yeah, it's definitely doable, just to let you know. It's uh also not very complicated. But I you would have to be there with me here, like at the same location. We we would have to log into your Proton and then we could connect your domain, which is your Skycrew LTD .ca to the Proton. And then every time you want to send an email, you can basically select do you want to send from so it looks like pm.me or do you want it to say Skycrew LTD, you know? And then same for David or any subcontractors. Um they would also have that option in whatever they're using if they're using Gmail. Um and you can change it so it's by default, let's say Skycrew, so he doesn't accidentally forget if he sends to somebody, like a client or whatever, if he sends an email. But um it is would also be set up that his email address, whatever gets sent to him from someone, from a client, um if he replies to the email, it automatically shows David S @skycrewltd, you know? So yeah, that's uh it's actually not that hard. I looked into it. But yeah, we can do that later on.
2026-05-14 13:09  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 73s]: Yeah, that's all well and good with the email. The thing is, I don't think the subcontractors need to have their own domain. I, you know, unless they're hourly guys, sure. But maybe. But yeah. But back to advertisement. I mean, I don't know, have you done this before? I mean, kannst du mir da aus? Because I, I got to I got to get out there, you know what I mean? I got to start advertising. I was wondering if there's a way to the the computer to find all the roofing companies that do metal roofing and like metal gutters. And somehow just send them an ad like, maybe create some kind of an advertisement page and send them the product, you know? For example. I mean, my biggest goal is to go to the headquarters of Roof Centre and offer the product there, but it's really, it's really hard to get in there.
2026-05-14 13:12  Viktor Hekalov: michael.ford@lfn.band
2026-05-14 13:14  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 48s]: Okay. Yeah, I designed with Eugene already, um, like a, it's basically an email that is like really beautiful. It's like a marketing email that has, you know, um, also clickable buttons and then they could they would get linked to your website. And, um, yeah, it's possible to design that with, uh, I would say Claude is very good for that. Um, and then you would just send it and you can collect, yeah, hundreds of different companies. Uh, even all around North America or even the states and then send it all at once, I think, to all of them. It's possible for sure. Um, okay. Yeah, I guess we'll have to talk about it.
2026-05-14 15:12  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 25s]: Yeah, so this is the website from Michael Ford. Um, so the the estimates will have to go to him. Um, so yeah, I'm not sure how it's gonna work now, but um, I guess you'll have to somehow I don't know, put all those estimates in a zip file or something, or I don't know exactly how it works.
2026-05-14 15:12  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 16s]: My message didn't send. I was out of an area with no service. Yeah, could you um get those estimates emailed to me maybe so I can take a look. And then I can be forwarded to him actually or whatever.
2026-05-14 15:13  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 6s]: Glad that uh you already have that built. That's pretty cool for the advertisement. That's pretty sweet.
2026-05-14 15:14  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 25s]: Okay, sounds good. I'll do that right now. Um, I'll send you an email link and then you can forward that to him. Um, or yeah, you can preview it, see how it looks and then yeah, you can send it to him just so it's done as as uh, at least for that project with the 26 invoices. So that's sent out, eh?
2026-05-14 15:14  Florian Disterhoft: *or quotes
2026-05-14 15:20  Viktor Hekalov: Ok
2026-05-14 15:21  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 40s]: is actually 28 or 29 houses. That's that's also drei kleine Häuser. But the way it's gonna work is I'm sending them the estimates right now and they're gonna apply for government grants. And then I might only be doing like three or four or six this year or something and the rest later. It's pretty cool. There's actually, I want to let you know, there's so many grants you can apply for, even purchasing a house, you know? For everything, building a shop, everything. There's grants. Nobody just knows about it. The natives do.
2026-05-14 15:57  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 21s]: Yeah, let me know how it goes with the estimates. Um, and if you have any questions, let me know. I mean, I just got home from Lytton, but then my wife just left to go for piano lessons for my daughter. So I could potentially be at your place in the next hour, but I might be a bit late, I don't know. Up to you.
2026-05-14 16:01  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 22s]: Okay, sounds good. I'll let you know. Um, I haven't had lunch yet or dinner. Yeah. But I still want to get that uh the invoice is done first, the quotes, I mean. So, I'll get it ready, send it to you so you can preview it. And then I'm going to have food and then yeah, you can probably come in an hour or so.
2026-05-14 16:54  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 13s]: I guess it does take still quite a bit of time to get those estimates made, eh? I think it's been about like three hours, four, three, something like that.
2026-05-14 16:57  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 33s]: Ja, it takes some time for sure. But um, yeah, before, I think I was working on the cards on um, I was trying to integrate it into the website, but then I realized just in this case, we'll just send it like that manually, right? And then later it'll be integrated, then you can do it right from the projects page. Then you don't have to copy things back and forth. Um, yeah, it's almost done. So in the next five minutes, I'll send it to you.
2026-05-14 16:58  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 8s]: Yeah, that'll be nice. That'll be really nice to get that over with. Why?
2026-05-14 17:00  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 20s]: Okay, I just sent it to you. Uh, yeah, check it out. And then once you're ready, let me know. Then I'm gonna change something, um, and then it's basically, uh, you'll get notified every time he clicks on anything automatically.
2026-05-14 17:01  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO]
2026-05-14 17:02  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 6s]: Hey Flo, could that be changed to estimates? Or is that gonna take a while again?
2026-05-14 17:02  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 5s]: Oh shoot, sorry. Oh no, yeah, I can change that. One second.
2026-05-14 17:02  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 6s]: But I mean, don't get worked up if this is going to be a big deal right now, that's okay. No big deal.
2026-05-14 17:02  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 7s]: Club the club the club the club
Um, I wanted to say something, now I forgot.
Club the club the club the club
2026-05-14 17:09  Florian Disterhoft: Let me know if you received the notification test email that someone has opened the link
2026-05-14 17:09  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 6s]: Yeah, it says Michael Ford opened something.
Yeah, it looks like it's working.
2026-05-14 17:09  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 4s]: Yeah, it's seems to work pretty good.
2026-05-14 17:10  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 15s]: Okay, perfect. Yeah, that's uh just test notification for you. So, yeah, if you once you send it to him and then if he clicks on any quotes, then you'll get notified.
2026-05-14 17:11  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 5s]: So, I should just forward this link now to him.
2026-05-14 17:11  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 10s]: Why I'm asking is is because when I go uh forward, everything disappears and it's just my signature stuff on the bottom. I was wondering if that whole cover letter will be there.
2026-05-14 17:11  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 22s]: Actually, by the way, um, yeah, you can either forward it, but then he's gonna see that you've forwarded it, which is fine. Or, uh, I can tell you how to send it properly. Uh, you would have to on the computer copy and paste the body into your into a new email, you know?
2026-05-14 17:12  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 6s]: even better. Can I access this from the portal now and send it from the portal to him directly?
2026-05-14 17:13  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 14s]: Uh yes, I can probably do that. I think almost everything is wired up. Uh let me see. I'll confirm with you. I might just run a test run first just to make sure it actually sends properly.
2026-05-14 17:14  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 7s]: Yeah, it would be nice if we can just do it from the portal. That'll be very awesome.
2026-05-14 17:15  Florian Disterhoft: Ok, sounds good. What email would you like it to send from? Would you want it to be viktor@skycrewltd.ca?
2026-05-14 17:15  Florian Disterhoft: Or something similar?
2026-05-14 17:16  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 24s]: Um, do I have to choose it right now? I mean, um, I'll probably just stick to my skycrewltd@pm.me. But then I guess this is going to be more professional, right? Um, yeah, I don't know. What do you think? Man, I want to come over to your place, but my wife is still not back home. It'd be so much easier from there.
2026-05-14 17:16  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 15s]: I would say for the sake of me dealing with them for the past two years, I think I should just stick to my original email. I think it they'll just they'll just confuse them. I think.
2026-05-14 17:16  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 5s]: Yeah, true. Um
2026-05-14 17:17  Florian Disterhoft: One sec, let me listen to your message
2026-05-14 17:17  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 17s]: Yeah, in a long run we could create an email like this and then this email wouldn't cost me a penny then, right? But then See, I'm kind of confused and where would I log in into my app and see my mail there?
2026-05-14 17:17  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 9s]: Because I would have to create my own platform to read my messages. And it'll have to be secured and blah blah blah.
2026-05-14 17:19  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 77s]: Um, okay, let's allow me to explain. Yeah, uh, so basically, yeah, if we would integrate it into the website, then, um, we would have to connect it with your PM email, you know? So, it would basically be an alias, or how do you say it? Alias, you know? So, um, but we would still have to go into your Proton settings, into your app, and then connect it, and then any email that gets sent from the Skycrew.ca email, uh, would basically be as if you send it from your Proton email, you know? And then if anybody sends an email or replies to the Skycrew email, it'll go to your Proton. So your Proton email is still the main email provider, you know? But yeah, it just makes it easier on the website, you just press send and then it would send with a Skycrew domain. Otherwise, you could also wire it in, so your Proton is the main domain, you know?
2026-05-14 17:19  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 8s]: Oh man, I just realized I have a spelling mistake in my um in my estimate. Shoot.
2026-05-14 17:20  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 10s]: So Flo, oh man, sorry pal. How difficult would it be to change the text right now? I can send you a new text.
2026-05-14 17:20  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 21s]: Yeah, I sent it to me. Um basically the AI, what it does, it it's gonna like I just paste it in and then it runs a script, so it doesn't have to manually do every single one and it does all of them at once. So, it's a pretty quick fix. Just let me know what you text you want replaced.
2026-05-14 17:22  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO]
2026-05-14 17:22  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 5s]: It's so weird. Why is my screenshot so blurry? One sec, let me send a new one.
2026-05-14 17:23  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 13s]: Uh yeah, just send it as a file or from the Telegram file picker. Sometimes you have to press HD, like there should be an HD toggle and it's gonna be sharper than
2026-05-14 17:24  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO]
2026-05-14 17:24  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 7s]: Okay, I don't know if this is a good idea, but I just zoomed in on that picture and it actually looks better. It has a better quality.
2026-05-14 17:25  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 6s]: Okay, so you want the text, the description to be exactly that.
2026-05-14 17:25  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 14s]: Yeah, if I could have it this, that'd be perfect. That's exactly what I use for every single one of them. Except for the premium textured steel finish. I that's I only add that if they go ahead with that option.
2026-05-14 17:32  Florian Disterhoft: [PHOTO]
2026-05-14 17:32  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 16s]: Okay, I just sent you a a test. Um yeah. And I'll send you the link and then you can send it yourself if you approve. You just have to change it to production send to client.
2026-05-14 17:32  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 9s]: Yeah, let me know if you want the um the subdomain email changed. Right now it's Viktor@skycrewltd.ca.
2026-05-14 17:32  Viktor Hekalov: Did you like the emails? Lol
2026-05-14 17:33  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 10s]: Yeah, I rather have the Skycrew LTD at pm.me. Just because for simplicity's sake, for now at least.
2026-05-14 17:33  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 6s]: Okay, I'll change that and then that would be the last straw, I think, eh?
2026-05-14 17:34  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 7s]: Yeah, that should be all. Then you can have go have dinner or lunch.
2026-05-14 17:35  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO]
2026-05-14 17:35  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 2s]: Hey, just want to double check that this is all good here.
2026-05-14 17:36  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 27s]: Did you already send it to him? No, I'm just kidding. I think um it assumes that whoever opens it, the email is Michael, you know, because you only send it to him. So that's why it says Michael up there. Um but yeah, we can keep it uh [German: Warte ganz kurz.]
2026-05-14 17:36  Viktor Hekalov: No
2026-05-14 17:40  Florian Disterhoft: Given the constraints, what would you like to do?

1. Keep current setup, ask Viktor to add skycrewltd.ca to his Proton
Best of both worlds: emails send from viktor@skycrewltd.ca (professional, on-domain, works today), and replies land in Viktor's Proton inbox. Requires Proton Mail Plus + a 5-min DNS update
he can do himself. I'll write him a step-by-step.

2. Keep current setup as-is, do nothing
viktor@skycrewltd.ca sends, replies route to skycrewltd@pm.me via Reply-To header. Already works. Viktor sees replies in Proton. Just accept that Michael's inbox shows the @skycrewltd.ca
address.

3. Switch to manual paste-and-send from Proton
Disable the portal's Send button. Viktor copy-pastes the rendered HTML into a fresh Proton compose every time. Sends as authentic skycrewltd@pm.me. More clicks per send, no automation.

4. Set up a VPS-hosted Proton Bridge relay
Spend ~$5/mo on a Linux VPS, run Proton Bridge on it 24/7, point the portal API at it for SMTP. Real From: skycrewltd@pm.me. Significant setup + ongoing maintenance. Only worth it if From: pm.me is non-negotiable.
2026-05-14 17:41  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 47s]: Yeah, so I just looked into it. Um yeah, sending from the website itself uh using Proton uh is not possible. Uh there are constraints. So yeah, I don't know. I think I would suggest just keep it the way it is. Um I think uh the client he's not not going to be like what is this? Like it's like a is it a new client or whatever? He's going to see your name explicitly, your company, everything. And um should be no problem, I think. And then as soon as he gets that first email, every time he replies, it goes to your regular email box, you know?
2026-05-14 17:42  Viktor Hekalov: It’s ok leave it how it is
2026-05-14 17:42  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 12s]: Yeah, you know what? Don't worry about it. Just uh, just leave it the way it is. It's I just always send everything from the company email and now I'm having my own personal email. So that's fine.
2026-05-14 17:42  Viktor Hekalov: Ok
2026-05-14 17:43  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 15s]: Oh, you have another company email? Um, if you want, we can send it from there as well. Or I mean, sorry, never mind. Um, yeah, do you want the replies to go to your company email?
2026-05-14 17:43  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO]
2026-05-14 17:43  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 9s]: So I just went on the other one, email, and it has these devices location things. Is that normal to be there? I mean, I don't really care, I'm just wondering.
2026-05-14 17:43  Viktor Hekalov: No
2026-05-14 17:43  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 30s]: I guess in the future we would have to update uh do number one, which is um yeah, updating the DNS option. Uh yeah, just so the it's authentically like it's going to go to your email and then all the replies as well, it's not going to go to um proton.me, but skycrewltd.ca, but it'll still land in your inbox, you know.
2026-05-14 17:43  Viktor Hekalov: I just have skycrewltd@pm.me
2026-05-14 17:44  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 16s]: Yeah, kind of cool, hey? I added those things. It was pretty basic in the beginning and then I said, can you make it more useful so you can actually see the location and what kind of device the person opened it on, you know? Might come in handy later.
2026-05-14 17:44  Viktor Hekalov: Ah ok
2026-05-14 17:44  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 5s]: Yeah, it's kind of creepy. Yeah, that's fine.
2026-05-14 17:45  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 4s]: Ach so, I will only see that. The customer won't see that, right? Yeah.
2026-05-14 17:45  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 4s]: Okay, so I'm good to go to send it out, right?
2026-05-14 17:46  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 20s]: Ja, genau. It's just for yourself, just for for you to see what he clicks on and if he how many invoices he opens, if he just opens one or none of them, you know. Yeah, it's pretty handy and it it won't spam you. I also set it up so you won't get like a hundred of emails right away.
2026-05-14 17:46  Florian Disterhoft: Yup, I'll send you the link right now
2026-05-14 17:46  Florian Disterhoft: https://skycrewltd.ca/tools/siska-roof-estimates/ 
2026-05-14 17:46  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 13s]: You might have to log in once with your fingerprint, uh or pin and then click on the link again, like it will only activate show you the page uh once you're logged in.
2026-05-14 17:47  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 8s]: Then you just tap on the top right corner and then uh send to client and then choose the right option.
2026-05-14 19:37  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 16s]: Hey Flo, just quick question. So now that we sent it through my other email, Viktor@skycrewltd, how do you how do I get to those emails now?
2026-05-14 19:39  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 16s]: I guess I could set up um so you get the email as well. So you always get a duplicate and then you'll you can just archive it in your email account. Would you want that?
2026-05-14 20:00  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 10s]: Well, I just want to somehow have access to that email because now I want to see if they open the emails or not. The estimates.
2026-05-14 20:03  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 34s]: Yeah, I guess he probably has his work computer and then hasn't clicked on the email yet. Probably maybe tomorrow when he goes to to the office. And yeah, I can update it so you always get a copy of the email as well. Yeah, it's impossible to make it like as if you send it from your account because yeah, you didn't, right? And only anything that gets sent from your Proton email account is like physically saved there. But you can definitely have a copy of it.
2026-05-15 18:00  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO] You think that accurate?
2026-05-15 18:01  Florian Disterhoft: Hmm
2026-05-15 18:01  Florian Disterhoft: I had a VPN on today
2026-05-15 18:01  Florian Disterhoft: I wonder if i clicked it accidentally
2026-05-15 18:02  Florian Disterhoft: Did he open it yet, by the way?
2026-05-15 18:04  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO]
2026-05-15 18:05  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 18s]: Okay, wait. So, it's a bit confusing for me here now. So now this whole website only runs through your um computer? Um yeah. Yeah, I got these messages this morning. I just remembered.
2026-05-15 18:05  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 12s]: Yeah, he did open them. He got them last night and then it says last night at 11:00 he opened. And yeah.
2026-05-15 18:05  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 4s]: And then it says a 211 AM.
2026-05-15 18:07  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 68s]: Yeah, that's interesting. Um, yeah, because no, it's not running on my computer. Um, I just, uh, I use a VPN sometimes to, you know, get more AI usage, like I create new accounts. And then I, today I set it specifically for the states. Um, for a period of time, but yeah, it could be that the location is actually not that accurate. Uh, technically, it just, uh, gets, um, like a specific IP address and then it it, uh, tries to calculate where approximately it is. But, um, yeah, I'll have to look into that. So it's, uh, a little bit more accurate or if it doesn't know the location, it should just say unknown. Yeah, usually it's the location is pretty inaccurate, like, but at least you know if it's in North America at least or a different country, you know, in case you get spammed or whatever or somebody has unauthorized access.
2026-05-15 18:10  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 44s]: Yeah, what I was thinking is that they have a VPN on, and they opened it through a VPN, but I don't think natives would do that. But everything is possible. I mean, they have their own encrypted platforms, right? So, yeah. It's just kind of odd that somebody would go 2:11 a.m. ET EDT time. That's uh, that's East Coast. Yeah, it's East Coast. So that would be 11:00 our time.
2026-05-15 18:11  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 26s]: Yeah, that's very interesting because EDT is um Toronto time, New York time, right? And it says it was opened at 2:11, which is 11:11 our time. And then the second was opened at 11:12. 'Cause I got these emails right after another, basically.
2026-05-15 18:13  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 53s]: Hmm, that's interesting. Um, yeah, all I know is that I was up last night till two in the morning, I think. Actually, I went to bed. So, I don't know if I sometimes I have Chrome tabs open and maybe it loaded it again or something and then notified you, but yeah, technically it only happen fires when a it could be honestly, could be bots. Like, just, you know, there's all kinds of bots, like if you would see the spiritual world of the network, there's so many demons there crawling around and trying to siphon data. Could be that somehow I might have to up the security so it doesn't, it can't, you know, press any buttons and it blocks those bots.
2026-05-16 14:31  Viktor Hekalov: Hey Florian, listen I need a very reliable camera system on my acreage. Could you give me an estimate for that?
2026-05-16 14:41  Florian Disterhoft: Yes, I can do that. Do you know if there are any power poles on the property? If not, we might have to place some poles to raise them up higher. I assume you want to overview the construction when it starts? Some cameras also have a time-lapse feature that you could have running to see the progress later on.
2026-05-16 14:42  Florian Disterhoft: I guess we'll have to look into how many cameras you would need, depending on what you want to surveil
2026-05-16 14:46  Viktor Hekalov: About 3-4 cams
2026-05-16 14:47  Viktor Hekalov: I got two big pols on the road which is perfect you can angle them in different directions
2026-05-16 15:02  Florian Disterhoft: Ok nice. Should we meet sometime next week and take a look at the property?
2026-05-16 15:02  Florian Disterhoft: Next week I will have to work at Avalanche again and help the crew out, but we can do anytime after work
2026-05-16 15:04  Florian Disterhoft: [PHOTO] By the way, I worked on the measurement tool in the portal on Friday and got pretty far. It's much more refined now, especially the first two sections. The other ones still need to be organized. The fields to fill out, but once I have a base design, then applying it to the other ones is going to go much faster.
2026-05-16 15:04  Florian Disterhoft: Maybe we can meet some time next week to talk about the cameras at the property and then also about the portal, just to have a better overview and understanding of how to move forward
2026-05-16 15:09  Viktor Hekalov: Yes Monday 😁
2026-05-16 15:10  Viktor Hekalov: Monday after work if fine we both live 3 min from my acreage
2026-05-16 15:11  Viktor Hekalov: Yes I agree
2026-05-16 15:16  Florian Disterhoft: Ok sounds good, we'll stay in touch 😉
2026-05-16 16:10  Viktor Hekalov: 😘hahah
2026-05-18 10:25  Viktor Hekalov: Great awakening sir.
2026-05-18 10:27  Viktor Hekalov: Would you have time to stop at my acreage this morning?
2026-05-18 10:28  Florian Disterhoft: Sure, after breakfast I could
2026-05-18 10:28  Florian Disterhoft: Maybe in 1 hour?
2026-05-18 10:34  Viktor Hekalov: Yes in one hr is perfect
2026-05-18 10:57  Florian Disterhoft: Ok see you at 1130
2026-05-18 11:01  Viktor Hekalov: See you then
2026-05-18 11:30  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 13s]: Hi Victor, sorry. I just left now. I realized I need to I wanted to go to Armstrong after. So I took, so grab some jerry cans. But I'll be there soon.
2026-05-22 13:46  Florian Disterhoft: [PHOTO] eufy Security 4G LTE Cam S330
$246 after tax 
$740 for 3 cameras
2026-05-22 13:49  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 145s]: Hey Victor. Uh, I did some research and um, sorry first of all that my I came back so late with the answer, because we met on Monday and it's Friday already, but um, yeah, there are uh, very professional cameras from Univew uh, that have LTE compatibility. The only thing is they're 1,200 bucks and each, and they also need a solar dish to be powered, you know. So, um, and then also the the the plan for data. Those are obviously much more professional, but um, the UFE cam, I think I would go for this. Um, because I tried the Real Link for our church install and they're not bad, but I would lean towards this even. It's even cheaper than the Real Link and the quality is uh, probably similar. So, yeah, if I order it today within the next couple of hours, they could arrive tomorrow according to Amazon and um, yeah, this is the best price. Like you won't get anything cheaper than this price. And then as for uh, SIM cards, um, I saw that Lucky Mobile, they have uh, 25 GB plan for 25 bucks a month. Um, and then they have their cheapest is $19 a month for 500 MB. So, only six bucks more and then you have peace of mind. Um, but then you would probably need three different cards, right, for the three cameras. So, it's 75 bucks in total per month. Uh, but there might be an option somehow to do shareable data. Um, yeah, that's something still to find out because yeah, it's kind of tough. I I tried to contact different companies, um, but yeah, you almost have to yeah, be on the phone with them and then you can there there would be a way to work out a deal to have one um, one single plan with three different shareable SIM cards, you know. So, yeah, that can we can be looked into, but uh, yeah, these cameras should be compatible with the the main networks. So, any company pretty much cellular company in Canada should be able to do it. Yeah.
2026-05-22 13:50  Florian Disterhoft: SIM Card (Lucky Mobile)
$19/month - 500 MB
$21/month - 1 GB
$25/month - 25 GB
$29/month - 35 GB
$34/month - 80 GB
2026-05-25 14:20  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 21s]: Hey Florian, hope you're doing well. Quick question, um, do you think Wi-Fi is an option? Or do you think it'll be too complicated? And I think I want two cameras for sure. For sure two cameras.
2026-05-25 15:41  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 116s]: Hey Viktor. Yeah, I thought about it. Um, the only thing is with Wi-Fi, it just, it's too great of a distance, like those poles, you know. Um, so yeah, it's probably not a good option. If you want to keep the, um, the option that we, I suggested the UFE camera or the Reolink. Um, there might be options to get cheaper monthly plans. Yeah, this is just what I found right off the bat off the website, but I think calling around or adding like maybe a line where you can have multiple sub-lines underneath one carrier could be cheaper, you know. Um, but yeah, if, if you're calculating $25 a month, let's say you do two cameras, 50 bucks a month is probably like one of the cheapest that you can get, unless you go for the $19 a month for 500 megabytes. Realistically, you don't need that much data because each camera, it doesn't, uh, record continuously, you know. It only records whenever something happens, you can set it up. So, that's one downside actually. Um, I would recommend when you build your shop to have a proper video system, you know, that records 24/7 to hard drives internally, and you can have, you can view everything because, um, these Wi-Fi cameras, they try to, sorry, not Wi-Fi, but these cellular, um, uh, solar cameras, they try to save battery as much as possible. So, they sometimes also can miss, um, detection. I mean, they're getting better, but it's not 100% reliable. I mean, for short-term, what we're doing now is probably fine. Um, but yeah.
2026-05-25 15:42  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 69s]: Then there's an option to run ethernet cable to those cameras. Then you could also pick different cameras um that are better than these ones. Um in in uh regards to picture quality and also detection feature. Yeah, but then you would have to run a conduit to the pole. Probably in ground. Um kann auch mit Spitzhacke, you know, einfach den Boden reingraben, I don't know. Or do it properly right away with like a foot deep in the ground. Um yeah, but then you would run the cable like hook the cameras up with ethernet, you know. That's the most reliable and it's the fastest, like you can access the camera the quickest if you do see movement. And um yeah. And it would uh record 24/7. But yeah, um I would probably just keep it simple for now and then later when you do your shop sell these cameras or just keep them as a backup and then do a like a whole system uh NVR camera kit that records 24/7, you know.
2026-05-26 16:30  Viktor Hekalov: [FILE: 20260416-ARCH-EaglesCove-Garage-DP.pdf]
2026-05-26 16:30  Viktor Hekalov: So would I be able through my portal upload this drawing and get a square footage reading?
2026-05-26 16:34  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 103s]: Hey Viktor. Um, no, unfortunately, that's not integrated yet. Um, in order for that to happen, I would have to connect a um AI API. Also, das ist ein Schlüssel von einem AI, also Codex or Claude. Ich glaube Claude ist besser. Und dann ähm das würde halt connected sein to billing and then whatever, how much information you'll upload and it spits out, that's how much you have to pay. Um, yeah, it would be billed by usage. But it's possible uh to integrate that. And uh I don't think it would be much. Let's say this PDF, 17 megabytes, um could be I don't know. I don't want to say a wrong number, maybe 25 cents. Um 50 cents, but yeah, something in that area, maybe cheaper, maybe more. Oops, for us. But yeah, that can be integrated. Um yeah, das muss man halt nur connecten und aufbauen. Um eigentlich since I already did a few plans, the AI has a much better idea of what to do exactly. So it's just a matter of hooking it up and then adding a card in the projects menu. And then uh from there you would upload a PDF and then it would do spit it out for you, you know. Um yeah, I will probably start working on Eugene's magazine starting tomorrow, I think, but yeah, we'll see. Maybe I can if you want me to, I could do that, integrate that.
2026-05-26 16:38  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 9s]: I mean, yeah, I think it would be nice to have because why not?
2026-05-26 16:39  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 16s]: I mean, this is a small project, which is okay, but sometimes you get these big projects and you need a lot of time to get it all calculated.
2026-05-26 16:49  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 32s]: Okay. Yeah, if you want, I can do that tomorrow. Um, yeah, I must for Eugen auf jeden Fall so ein Logo machen. Convert it to a vector graphic and then I pretty much have to start with the magazine right away, but maybe I can take a few hours to get that integrated. Um, and then uh then once it's in the on the projects, then it's always usable, you know? You can do that then for future projects, future PDFs and so.
2026-05-29 14:59  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO] We have to remove this pic😂
2026-05-29 15:18  Florian Disterhoft: Haha ok, will do 😄
2026-05-30 20:24  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO]
2026-05-30 20:25  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 26s]: Hey Florian, sorry to bother you. Um, just wanted to give you a little update here. So, it does let me notify me that they opened an email, but it doesn't say which one. It just says the same one over and over again through all of them. So, I think whenever you have some spare time, that could be addressed maybe.
2026-05-30 22:03  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 20s]: Okay. Yeah, I can look into that. So, you know exactly which invoice, hey, they looked at. Um, yeah, I must noch das Bild da rausnehmen. Und yeah, let me know if you want me to work on anything else, um, or just these two things for now.
2026-05-30 22:41  Viktor Hekalov: hey Florian, yeah these two things and also can you add more people or can you add a ad on button so I can add the Contractor to my portal?
2026-05-30 22:41  Viktor Hekalov: I have to add three more subcontractors
2026-05-30 22:43  Viktor Hekalov: and I mean, if also you can refine the portal even more they’ll be awesome
2026-05-30 22:45  Florian Disterhoft: Ok, yeah I'll try spend some time on it next week. And yes, you should be able to add subcontractors from this page:
2026-05-30 22:46  Florian Disterhoft: [PHOTO]
2026-05-30 22:46  Viktor Hekalov: Oh nice!!
2026-05-30 22:47  Viktor Hekalov: hey man, I don’t need you to start working on this right away here. I just wanted to point it out to you for next time. Go enjoy your weekend.😁
2026-05-30 22:48  Florian Disterhoft: Haha no worries 😉
2026-06-02 20:27  Viktor Hekalov: Hey Florian, how can I get a warranty certificate of the product workmanship that I offer?
2026-06-02 20:28  Viktor Hekalov: I basically need a form that shows my warranty and workmanship warranty for a client
2026-06-02 20:38  Florian Disterhoft: [PHOTO]
2026-06-02 20:38  Florian Disterhoft: [PHOTO]
2026-06-02 20:38  Florian Disterhoft: [PHOTO]
2026-06-02 20:38  Florian Disterhoft: Sorry, just driving, but you have to create a single project. Then click on Warranty and then Preview PDF. Then you can save the PDF warranty that is automatically filled out. As of now, you can only do it through a project, but later on I can make it a single tool that you can quickly access.
2026-06-02 21:06  Viktor Hekalov: All good brother no worries
2026-06-02 21:06  Viktor Hekalov: But if I follow these steps, it creates the warranty for a specific building only
2026-06-02 21:52  Florian Disterhoft: Ah you just want a generic warranty, with no address or client? I can create that
2026-06-02 23:40  Viktor Hekalov: Yes please
2026-06-03 08:35  Florian Disterhoft: A couple of things you can maybe quickly answer:
2026-06-03 08:35  Florian Disterhoft: 1. Product warranty length (currently hard-set to "40 years")
Need confirmation: the real number, and whether it's a flat term or "up to."
Recommended wording (fill in the real figure):
"[Forty (40)] years on the metal product and factory finish, provided by the manufacturer and subject to the manufacturer's published warranty terms, limitations, and claim procedures. Skycrew Sheet Metal Ltd. passes this coverage through and does not extend or replace it."

If the term varies by product/coating:
"Up to [forty (40)] years on the metal product and finish, depending on the product and coating selected, subject to the manufacturer's published warranty terms."
2026-06-03 08:36  Florian Disterhoft: 2. Transferability — pick one
Option A — Non-transferable (simplest, most protective):
"This workmanship warranty is extended to the original client only and is non-transferable without the prior written consent of Skycrew Sheet Metal Ltd."
Option B — Transfers once with the property:
"This workmanship warranty may be transferred one time to a subsequent owner of the property within the warranty period, provided Skycrew Sheet Metal Ltd. is notified in writing within thirty (30) days of the change in ownership."
(The manufacturer's product warranty has its own transfer rules — these are separate and unaffected.)
2026-06-03 08:36  Viktor Hekalov: Yeah, so there’s 40 year warranty on the product itself
2026-06-03 08:36  Viktor Hekalov: No, it can be transferable, but I would like to have a 30 day limit for transferring to a new owner
2026-06-03 08:37  Florian Disterhoft: Ah ok 👍
2026-06-03 08:37  Florian Disterhoft: 3. "Paid in full" condition — ready as-is
"This warranty becomes effective only once Skycrew Sheet Metal Ltd. has received payment in full for the covered work. No warranty obligation arises while any balance for the covered work remains outstanding."
2026-06-03 08:37  Florian Disterhoft: 4. Coverage start date (the QuickCreate sheet has no date) — ready as-is
"Unless otherwise stated in writing, the workmanship warranty period begins on the date of completion or client handover of the covered work, as shown on the related Skycrew invoice, work order, or contract."
2026-06-03 08:37  Florian Disterhoft: Do you want those two last conditions?
2026-06-03 08:38  Viktor Hekalov: Well, I mean it’s pretty obvious that the warranty would start once it’s paid or do you think that’s important to highlight
2026-06-03 08:38  Viktor Hekalov: Or I guess once a job is completed
2026-06-03 08:38  Florian Disterhoft: It could be obvious to you but in the writing it's always safer
2026-06-03 08:39  Viktor Hekalov: Yeah, let’s put it in writing then that is a pretty right
2026-06-03 09:54  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 6s]: Is there anything else you need from me for the warranty?
2026-06-03 09:54  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 9s]: Or maybe um when it's done, could you just send it over to me when you have a chance? Thank you.
2026-06-03 09:56  Florian Disterhoft: Yup, just pushing the changes to the live website now. Should be able to send it in a couple minutes
2026-06-03 09:57  Viktor Hekalov: Awesome thank you

2026-06-08 14:57  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 49s]: Okay, Florian, how you doing? Listen, um, I have a little request from you. Or maybe you can explain to me how I can do it. How can I edit my warranty? Um, I need to adjust it from one year of workmanship warranty to 18 months. Um, I usually do one year, but I'm working on a strata, nine-unit complex, and they want to have 18 months warranty terms. So, yeah. Is that something you can do or if not, how can I change that on my Or again, I need access. I need to find out how to access all that stuff. I'm just so overwhelmed with work right now. Never have time to visit you.
2026-06-08 15:34  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 20s]: Hey Victor. Uh yeah, no problem. Um I just tested it out on your website on the portal. Yeah, you just have to change the numbers there um and then when you go preview, it's gonna have that new information filled in. So I can show you a quick uh screenshot.
2026-06-08 16:06  Florian Disterhoft: [FILE: Screen_Recording_20260608_153530_Chrome.mp4]

2026-06-09 10:49  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 17s]: Hey Florian. Hope you're doing well. Listen, um, this is a bit cram, a bit clustered up there. I can't download the PDF. I was also wondering, are you around to tonight or this afternoon? Um, I want to go
2026-06-09 10:50  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 23s]: Sorry, I got a phone call there. Um, yeah, I was wondering if you're around tonight so we can go over the whole app and maybe you can explain it to me a bit better. I tried to add a new project, but it didn't seem to work out somehow. I couldn't finish the whole measuring thing. Yeah.
2026-06-09 10:51  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 21s]: Also, um, there are a few properties that got missed on that estimate in Cisco. I was wondering, and then there are some that have to be excluded. So I was wondering maybe we can get together and go over that at your convenience, obviously.
2026-06-09 11:01  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 44s]: Hey Victor. Um, okay. Yeah, I saw that email. Uh, that yeah, it's straightforward. They listed all the new addresses and the ones to get rid of, so that can be done. And then your first screenshot, um, I guess maybe that's on on Apple it shows that way. On my phone it shows normal. But yeah, it has a download button in the top right corner. I think this is just the mobile preview. Once you download it, it should um show the normal size. At the top right corner, there's a little download button. But yeah, that can be fixed too. And uh yeah, let me know. You can come by any time and we can talk over everything. I'll make time.
2026-06-09 11:02  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 13s]: Okay, are you home today? Um, that button doesn't work on my phone. I can't download it. I want to download it for a strata in Keremeos. They need it right now, but it's not working.
2026-06-09 11:03  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 10s]: When you did those changes on the warranty yesterday, did you save that? Maybe my browser is not updating or something.
2026-06-09 11:07  Florian Disterhoft: Ok, let me check that
2026-06-09 11:07  Florian Disterhoft: And yup I'm at home. I'm currently doing something for Eugen, but I can probably put that on pause.
2026-06-09 13:43  Viktor Hekalov: Ok sounds good
2026-06-09 13:43  Viktor Hekalov: Could I stop now?
2026-06-09 13:43  Florian Disterhoft: Yup, come on by

2026-06-09 16:56  Florian Disterhoft: https://youtu.be/mxapaXrHr1Y
2026-06-09 16:56  Florian Disterhoft: He has a couple new documentaries actually
2026-06-09 17:31  Viktor Hekalov: Thanks
2026-06-10 12:22  Florian Disterhoft: Let me know when you get those address coordinates, then I can update them on the project for Siska Band
2026-06-10 15:46  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 6s]: Hey Florian, yeah, I've been trying to get a hold of them but no reply yet.
2026-06-10 15:47  Florian Disterhoft: No worries
2026-06-10 17:55  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 16s]: Hey, they still haven't replied anything yet. So, I don't know. We can just maybe do whatever we find on the map and just quote that, I guess.
2026-06-11 14:42  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 21s]: Hey, so could we remove those eight um, houses from that Siska project and add the other four? Just measure whatever is nearest around it. Just throw it in there and that's it.
2026-06-11 14:43  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 12s]: I did just talk to Mike and Litton and he mentioned that the houses could be a bit higher up the road. So, yeah.
2026-06-11 14:43  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 4s]: Maybe the ones we saw last time, those are actually it. Those are the houses probably.
2026-06-11 14:45  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 60s]: Okay, Viktor. Um, yeah, I did update the Siskat project already. So, I deleted the seven projects that were in there and added the four. Uh, two of them I was able to find the address and the other two I left. But yeah, I can check a little bit more thoroughly now. And I also added all the information that I already measured from Google Earth, like the rough, you know, measurements. Um, so they're in the in all the projects now. The planes. So, and the right coordinates. So, as soon as the job gets approved, then you can, you know, remeasure or I don't know if you're going to remeasure them, but at least you have the location saved in there already. And I fixed the whole bunch of other stuff already.
2026-06-11 14:48  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 37s]: Oh, nice. Nice. You're on top of the game, that's awesome. Yeah, so which two um you know, locate. Basically, I just talked to them on the phone and um they want me to send out the whole total estimate with those seven units subtracted and those four added. So, just maybe find something that's near that address and just throw it in there because the it's a rough estimate anyway. They'll be refined after afterwards.
2026-06-11 14:51  Florian Disterhoft: Ok 👍 will do so you can send out the quote ASAP again
2026-06-11 14:58  Viktor Hekalov: Thank you
2026-06-11 17:11  Florian Disterhoft: [PHOTO]
2026-06-11 17:14  Florian Disterhoft: The Siska estimates are ready to send: https://www.skycrewltd.ca/tools/siska-roof-estimates/

Before sending, you can adjust the waste % — either for the whole project at the top, or per site (e.g. just the 4 new ones) by tapping a site and changing it there. The prices update automatically.

When the numbers look right, hit "Send to client" → "Test send to me" first to see exactly what Michael will get in your own inbox. If it looks good, send it for real — that locks in the prices and dates for the client.

2026-06-11 17:21  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 11s]: Alright, sounds good. So I just checked out this um this new estimate. So we have 23 properties in total, right? And I mean it looks fine.
2026-06-11 17:22  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 16s]: Yeah, we have there's 23 properties. Uh, yeah, from the email deleted the the ones that he sent. So there was in total seven deleted and four added. So, yeah.
2026-06-11 17:22  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 6s]: Yeah, you could try sending it to yourself, check it out, and then you can send it off, you know.
2026-06-11 17:27  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 5s]: Awesome, thank you Flo. I'll uh send it, I'll do a test right now.
2026-06-11 17:28  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 34s]: Yep. And just so you know, you're not going to get 100 emails now again. Um, so whenever you open it, you won't get notified, same with me. And then also, um, yeah, if the if Michael opens it, you won't see exactly who opened it, but it'll just say someone and um, not so many bots will be able to open it anymore. And yeah, there's a limit to how how often you can get notified. If anything, you might get another email in the evening or something if he clicks around a lot, then you'll just get a summary.

2026-06-11 17:30  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 24s]: I added these little boxes for the one-time warranty certificate. Um, maybe you can check it out and uh try previewing it again and see if you can download or print the the PDF that gets generated. Um, that way, yeah, I just I'm curious if it uh works now for iPhone, you know.
2026-06-11 20:55  Viktor Hekalov: [PHOTO] It looks like this now
2026-06-11 20:56  Viktor Hekalov: Only the back button works
2026-06-11 20:57  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 45s]: Yeah, it's actually nice to see when they open it. I don't mind to see when they click on it. And which file they open as well. And also, is it possible to integrate this whole estimate later on into a job, like a purchase order? And then so and then later on, like it's distributed on the portal, so I can distribute to different subcontractors, you know what I mean? Like I'll have like 28, whatever, 30 jobs there. I'll assign five to this guy, five to this guy, one to this guy, you know? That'd be very nice.
2026-06-11 21:00  Florian Disterhoft: Yup, that will be possible soon. Working on it. Also, Those screenshots are actually very helpful. Maybe if you come across anything else that doesn't work or where the page is up to the hole punch at the top, send it to me, then I'll fix it because it always looks different on my phone. I might have to get an iPhone temporary for this 😄
2026-06-12 14:11  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 9s]: Hey Flo, yeah, I have been doing that so far. I don't know if you noticed. Every time I notice something I forward it straight to you.
2026-06-12 14:34  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 26s]: Perfect, thank you, yeah. I found a website actually where I can test uh a physical iPhone and then I can sometimes test the page now, but I only have 60 seconds and then I get logged out, so it's a very short time, but it's usually just enough. Yeah, next time I think I'm just gonna get an iPhone temporary and then I can always test it, you know.
2026-06-12 14:34  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 8s]: Today I I had to do some stuff for Eugene, so I wasn't able to put any time in for you. But uh hopefully next week.
2026-06-12 16:08  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 40s]: Hey, if you want, I'll give you my old iPhone, you can have that. The thing is, it's an iPhone, it's so bescheuert, alter. It's such a stupid phone, like, I don't like this. I like the 16, uh, the 14. iPhone 14, it I had it for so long, it worked so nice and perfect. And the battery went on it, you know, after three years. So I got the 17. That's so ein Scheiße, like it sucks. Honestly, like, there's glitches on WhatsApp constantly and like other things. I mean, I'm not sure if this webpage is a iPhone glitch, but it it sucks. I'm not really impressed.
2026-06-12 16:09  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 11s]: All good, bro.
All good, no rush.
No rush.
Do it at your convenience.
2026-06-12 16:14  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 40s]: Hey, you don't like the iPhone 17? It seems like the biggest jump forward, I feel like. I don't know if it's maybe the software. Did you update to the newest version? But yeah, I definitely am an Android person. I just every time I try to have to fix something, I always see why like why it's so complicated on on on iPhone, even though it's supposed to be simple. But yeah, I guess it has some good things, but a majority for me, it's just easier with cracking stuff, you know, with Android.
2026-06-12 16:15  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 75s]: Ja, next week, äh, ich hoffe, ich kann mit neue Motivation dran gehen, weil ähm, ja, ich musste für Eugen dies machen, das machen, das ist halt immer ein bisschen stressig. So einen komischen Design mit Photoshop, das war richtig blöd, like I hated doing it, you know. So it always kind of interfered with the things that I have to do for you. Aber ja, nächste Woche dann ähm kann ich mit frischen Mut dran. Und äh auf jeden Fall get everything going so you can finally start using the portal. Hopefully by next week, end of week, if I don't get interrupted, I can finish the project completely for you, dass alles läuft, wie du wie du es eigentlich geplant hast und ähm ja, wir können ja jeden Tag kind of go through um, you know, if there's anything that comes up. And uh, yeah, go from there. So yeah, um, I'm gonna send you an invoice then uh for the one week that I missed couple like weeks ago and May still. Uh there was one week that I didn't charge for and then this week there was a couple of days. So I'll send you that invoice and then one more probably after that and then we should be done.
2026-06-12 16:19  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 27s]: Well, I'll tell you, my frustration is WhatsApp. WhatsApp sucks on this phone. I don't know why. This is really bad. All the other apps work fine. I mean, the camera is good. The processor, it's quick. This phone is really fast. Um, but I just know on WhatsApp, it it frustrates me a lot of times. Yeah.
2026-06-12 16:19  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 6s]: Why is it different software, right? It's it works different.
2026-06-12 16:21  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 11s]: Yeah, no problem. This one's fine. I mean, if you want, you can invoice once you're done. I don't really care. Doesn't matter to me. Whatever whatever you want.
2026-06-12 16:22  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 20s]: Yeah, I hope we'll be done, we'll be done next week for sure with this thing that's taking a bit longer than expected. Much longer, but yeah. That's just the way it goes. That's the way it goes.
2026-06-12 16:23  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 32s]: Yeah, maybe you know somebody that is looking for a full-time job. Like I need somebody who can reply to emails. I guess I can reply to emails. It's not the end of the world. Order material, deal with the crews. Get deliveries here and there, you know. It's like an office/delivery guy. You know what I mean? Again, manager. Something like that.
2026-06-12 16:31  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 97s]: Yeah. What'd be good to get somebody, eh, to do all that the stuff to just support. Weil alleine ist bestimmt schwer. Um, yeah, I don't know yet, but if I come across someone, then for sure, I'll let you know, 'cause I mean, it's a very, it would be a nice position, especially when when, uh, you know, there's not so many people involved and if that person is, you know, very, uh, detailed-orientated. Um, like, it can be a fun job, you know, like doing deliveries, doing this and that. Und dann kannst du ihm ja mehr anvertrauen, wenn er gut ist. Yeah, probably best from somebody from church, oder so, ne? Musst du dich mal umgucken. Vielleicht kannst du jemand von Eugen wegsnatchen. But, uh, yeah, right now, I don't know who. 'Cause Simon, Ronnie, Johnny, Wesner, they're all busy. They're working there in the crew. Bestimmt jemand, der bisschen nicht zu alt ist, you know, youth youth age, that can, you know, that doesn't have a big expectations either, 'cause, yeah, somebody is already married, then it's already, you know, gotta be able to form that person pretty much. Okay. Yeah, dann weiß ich, wo wir dran liegen, ne? Mit den where we're at. Yeah, it's taken a little bit longer, but hopefully next week, we'll be done. Und, um, yeah.
2026-06-12 16:31  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 15s]: Did the guy from Siska get back to you yet, Michael? About the new quotes. Yeah, hopefully you'll get that job, eh? Would be a bummer if something goes sideways.

2026-06-17 16:48  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 8s]: Also, I was wondering if you'd be able to show me how I can do it myself through the app, through the portal, I mean.
2026-06-17 17:25  Florian Disterhoft: Yup, I'll send you a report soon of both of them and then show you how you can do it next time
2026-06-17 17:41  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 9s]: Yeah, it'll be nice so I know how to do it properly because I don't want to keep bugging you, you know?
2026-06-17 17:43  Florian Disterhoft: Haha no worries. You sent me 7 PDFs before and 2 more. It helps, the more PDFs I have, I can feed the AI models to make more accurate calculations
2026-06-18 11:41  Viktor Hekalov: My address in Calgary is 147 Midlake Blvd. South East. T2X1L2
Thank you
Don
2026-06-18 11:42  Viktor Hekalov: Hey Flo, I got another address to get a roof takeoff
2026-06-18 11:43  Florian Disterhoft: Still working on this among other things (have to run many trial runs for it to actually work inside the portal) Getting close though
2026-06-18 11:43  Florian Disterhoft: Ok, should I add it to the portal with approximate roof numbers from Google earth?
2026-06-18 13:03  Viktor Hekalov: [FILE: 23_03_29_Concept_Package_with_Floorplans_and_Elevations_High_Res.pdf]
2026-06-18 13:03  Viktor Hekalov [VOICE 24s]: Yeah, every um job, every um take-off you do, add it right away to the portal. Yeah, that would be fantastic. Cuz I'm again, I'm educating myself too right now to this new system here. I got to think also how you think, you know what I mean? But yeah, I got one more drawing here I should have gone to do.
2026-06-22 16:07  Florian Disterhoft: [FILE: Screen_Recording_20260622_160703_Chrome.mp4]
2026-06-22 16:07  Florian Disterhoft [VOICE 20s]: Moin Viktor. Hope you're doing good. Um yeah, I sent you a tutorial screen recording. Sorry, it's kinda long, but wenn du mal abends Zeit hast, maybe you can check it out and then let me know if there's anything that I missed on the PDF calculator.
2026-06-23 20:41  Viktor Hekalov: thank you for I’ll take a look at it right now. Did you have a chance to get the reports for those roofs that I sent you?
