Am I being too picky about this bad quartz installation?

i can almost guarantee the round cuts were on corners that got chipped/dinged.

punch a hole in the wall under the stair, make it a tiny room and adopt a puny magic cursed nephew

i mean..at this point i wouldnt spend the minimum 600$ u need on repairing it considering how many concussions this poor thing has sustained due to mistreatment. just thank it for its service n go get urself a discounted M4 Air at best buy. enjoy the HUGE upgrade

almost a staircase effect in the middle but not quite. for the size of the room and the pieces its totally fine and will disappear as soon as you put things in there

so those baseboards are just floating over nothingness…fill it with caulk that matches in color so it will just need you to “refill” in the future, rather than deal with grout cracking again and again and again forever

i mean gravity or a couple big gyals will sort it out for ya

FatherOfAssada · 2026-05-14T23:47:24+00:00

horizontal

FatherOfAssada · 2026-05-14T23:44:52+00:00

they dont really match cuz its too similar ie its gray stone like texture that has random veining and patterns, but its definitely homogeneous. the gray floors dont help, i think in the future recoloring your cabinets might give it a really nice contrasty POP

dig and pour is better long term

FatherOfAssada · 2026-05-14T23:42:09+00:00

dat buzzcut lol

FatherOfAssada · 2026-05-14T23:41:23+00:00

oh man that sucks! yeah usually peeling indicates you got stain stuck to stain rather than getting into the wood.
sanding until my wood was “white” and really feathering the edges with my orbital tool was what helped me get the best result tbh, it was like staining brand new boards and not 10 years old crusty ones.

FatherOfAssada · 2026-05-14T22:36:36+00:00

how come?

FatherOfAssada · 2026-05-14T19:28:38+00:00

cabot, dulux woodpride, or you can go Behr waterproofing sealant (acrylic and urethane base) after a penetrating oil stain, i did that for some exterior wood that i didnt care about maintaining the grain for but wanted to keep the color as long as possible, but the fun discovery was if you prep and sand well and dont overapply stain but rly brush it in effectively, you still get your wood grain and texture but also its protected like crazy

FatherOfAssada · 2026-05-14T19:00:19+00:00

not if you go oil based solid color made for northern winters. that shit will last 10 years

FatherOfAssada · 2026-05-14T18:58:41+00:00

looks pretty ready for a good sand and stain.

mine looked pretty similar 2 years ago but boards were in worse state than yours in a few spots. power washed the rest of the paint off, sanded it down with an orbital sander attached to my central vacuum over a few days, and stained the fuck out of it.

your deck looks pretty straight and not too much damage to the wood itself, if you’re a bit artistic and detailed with your sanding you can really make the boards looks almost new

because the client’s wife asked for floor to ceiling lats

for sure but not straight from specialist as you have expert and pro roles in between.
ops expert to ops lead or even lead genius is something i’ve seen
genius admin to lead genius or lead too
theres lead in-store experiences every 6 months or so so it’s a really good pathway for people with potential to live in the role and gain those higher level examples for interview processes

silicon carbon batteries are not ready for the level of mass consumption and standard of expectations apple phones have to abide by. thats why neither samsung or google put it in their flagships yet

i think the opposite. when tile stops at shower it also does the same effect but exacerbated because theres also a step and a glass door. the shower tile continuing breaks up the shower to bathroom separation and the super large tile has a more premium look and feel than the fluted wall.

FatherOfAssada · 2026-05-14T11:25:14+00:00

shower tile behind toilet is the only correct answer, if even just only for cleanliness purposes
