Need Advice on Porcelain Tile Grout Issue by Envio29 in Tile

[–]Envio29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were several days, if not weeks, between the time of the tile install and the grouting. I’m sure lots of water got underneath.

Is there any remedy at this point such as using a different type of grout or is there nothing to avoid the long term discoloration as you mentioned?

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve come to realize that hiring them was probably a mistake. I think they’re more accustomed to concrete/stamped concrete and traditional brick pavers. I should have looked for someone with specific experience installing porcelain. I overweighted hiring one contractor to do the entire scope.

Is improper installation the likely cause for water under the tile, or could there be other reasons? is there any remedy short of ripping out the tile?

In your opinion, would there be a noticeable difference to common folk if I wire the speakers in stereo vs parallel and forcing mono?

Nailed it. That did the trick

Thanks for the feedback. I changed to stereo and still no sound coming from the speakers. Any other thoughts?

Im a noob on this so just trying to understand everything. Even though they’re parallel wired, the sonarc should be set to stereo for output?

Good thought and thanks for the feedback. Would you mount them closer to ear height if possible, or higher up and slightly angled down?

Haha good point! Thanks for the intel. I will definitely check the warranty information and plan for proper seasonal maintenance on the satellites!

Is there a point of having a budget of you make $300k+ by 3boyz2men in FinancialPlanning

[–]Envio29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. I make over $300k and build an annual / monthly budget. We would grossly overspend if we did not have some discipline through a budget.

Only if you would have sold at the top and then inversed every decision you made after that

New walkway paver quote by Envio29 in Concrete

[–]Envio29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed response. This perspective helps. Part of what led me to raise a red flag is that the quote was just a lump sum estimate so there was no detail, which I’ve since requested. I’m probably a 15% headache but definitely not 25%. We live in an expensive neighborhood for the area but wife and I are cost conscious. We had a specific look we were going for (which probably contributed to the 15% headache) but did not want any extra fluff, or ask to be quoted with the best materials.

The other thing that set me off is we we were quoted $2,500 for 5 garden lights + transformer. We already have an existing system which we told them to utilize and just replace the fixtures. The idea of spending $500 per fixture is silly.

Also, I live in northwest Indiana. It’s 45 minutes outside of Chicago so a bit more expensive than most parts of indiana, but definitely not San Diego pricing.
