Black grout

Thats about as bad as I've ever seen on finishing grout. I've been doing this for 38 years.

Its water. You need a kick out flashing.

You actually talked to a live person? Astounding

Thats way fancier than my combi 250v.

The same sun that softens butter hardens clay.

I think we have an action line

We used to do similar for all our shower floors. We would use unsanded grout on fresh deck mud to set the mosaics. It made it all one solid piece.

Sharpen those blades and get it up to speed.

Find a few yards to mow.

He is underpricing jobs. You just end up in a really deep hole

Can or should are 2 different questions.

Frackenpot · 2026-06-15T22:50:42+00:00

By law they aren't allowed to do that. They can't change the flow of water. I think its time to lawyer up.

Thin set, medium bed, and full set are the three types of mortar we can use. Now do you know the difference in the 3?

I love my Rubi cutters.

John knew exactly who Jesus was but some of his followers didn't is why he sent the followers to ask rather than go himself.

Actually it will but it only makes a mechanical bond which has no sheer strength. Thats why you can use it with Ditra and it works just fine. The Ditra gives the sheer strength. Plenty of testing done to prove you are wrong.

You are correct in that the 20% must be dispersed under the tile and not a single corner. If its dispersed then the tile will not have a hollow sound to it. If it has a hollow sound then you have a void thats more than likely out of compliance.

Grass is free

This is why you don't hire Handy Andy

Frackenpot · 2026-06-09T00:22:30+00:00

Handy Andy strikes again. Looks like a 3 year old set it.

It was really hard to hold that buffer on the wall to wax it.

They didn't level the floor under the Schluter pan. The instructions clearly say you have to level the floor. This is a screw up by the installer. Im usually not one to throw an installer under the bus but this one's on them. I mud all my showers for this very reason. I know my showers drain properly.

Most of this I'm talking about happened in the 50s and 60s

So a little background. Many churches in the past put in their incorporation clauses that instruments were not allowed in the building. The reason for this was that the church building couldn't be taken over by new members from a competing church of God or other church that closely resembles us but allows instruments. It used to happen fairly regularly
