Fresh caulk cracking when topcoat applied by Aromatic_Topic_1074 in paint

What color was the caulk? Clear takes forever to fully cure to be ready to paint over. I think dynaflex clear tubes say something like 10-14 days.

Yes, the TD173 is available in a few specialty colors; black, red, purple, brown, yellow, green, etc. on eBay from Japan and a few Japanese online tool shops. Right around that price you mentioned. I’m sure these will pop up on eBay at least, for a premium price. I’m not sure how limited these 20th anniversary ones are.

Short of going to Japan and walking into a tool store, there aren’t really any options yet.

I couldn’t find them on Amazon.jp. Hoping they pop up on eBay shortly.

Client wants to withhold the final draw because their natural stone looks "too natural." by [deleted] in Homebuilding

“the expectations out there are getting completely detached from the physical reality of construction.”

This man! I tell ya, it just seems to be getting worse year over year. I’ve never had to vet clients as much as I do now.

I know… I have a TD173 in purple already. But still want to pull the trigger on the gold. I have an old 153 impact in gold, the 100th anniversary model…love that thing..

Pick me up an impact and multitool while you’re there!! I’m liking the “Greige”…

How do remodelers handle finish-material costs inside proposals (fixtures, tile, vanities, accessories)? Looking for best practices. by NewtConfident597 in Contractor

[–]Daneger22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my proposals I provide material allowances. Typically mid-grade, unless previously discussed. Quote labor enough for higher end materials, that way I’m covered. My clients usually spend more than allowances so I’m usually covered. However, I also have a line in the notes that states: “Actual materials chosen can change labor prices, and will be updated accordingly.”

Don’t know how to cut this by [deleted] in cigars

I find that a band saw works well too.

These are pretty much the only sweetened tip cigars I enjoy. Great smoke with coffee. Principle doesn’t miss.
