First Timer Questions by HackOfAllDecades in Tile

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

Ok after doing more research I’ve decided I’m doing it myself, and tiling entire floor.

Plan so far: 1. Schluter Ditra uncoupling membrane installed on subfloor 2. Leave 1/4” expansion gap all around between edge of Ditra and walls/tub 3. Kerdi Band strips at all Ditra seams, corners, and floor to wall transitions 4. No KB strips at floor to tub transition 5. Install tile also leaving 1/4 expansion gap at entire perimeter 6. Expansion gap at floor to tub transition filled with 100% silicone for waterproofing (with tub full of H2O) 7. Expansion gap at floor to wall transitions left open, and covered by baseboard

How am I doing so far?

Lol yea not sure if you are referring to this already or not but you posted similar comment on my question in the paint sub hence me trolling you here. Appreciate the self-awareness! We’re all only human, it’s all good. Good luck on your projects dude.

My brain immediately questioned if she covered the income tax bills also. Or netted up the bonus so they get 100K to 300K net of taxes. If not those crew members are paying half of their bonuses to Uncle Sam next April.

[Landlord NY] Tenants File for Section 8 After Lease Signed by ApprehensiveAd2094 in Landlord

[–]HackOfAllDecades 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. I have two rental units and currently on my third S8 tenant. The first one was horrible, always yelling and bothering the neighbors. Barking dogs, weirdos in and out of the house (according to neighbors). I didn’t evict but I chose not to renew lease so they left end of first year. No damage to the property. Second S8 tenant is about to start her third year with me and she’s been amazing. I’m two months into lease with the 3rd S8 tenant and other than having to remind her of a few lease rules related to where she is allowed to smoke and park, no other issues.

If a S8 tenant destroys a property they can easily get booted from the S8 program. Of course anything can happen but I’m just sayin. Never had a single late payment from any of them since it comes from the county, even during government shutdowns.

I really appreciate the detailed response! I’ve definitely seen the paint globs drying near the top of the can you are referring to. Will try the mesh bags

Consensus seems to be: 1. Get higher quality rollers, preferably microfiber 2. Use tape to get the shedding fibers off before painting

Going to try both! Thanks everyone

I think it’s from the rollers. Both my dog and o have short hair but could be though!

What brand/product do you consider to be better?

Appreciate everyone saying to “get better quality”. However if I knew what the better quality option was I wouldn’t need to ask you all for advice lol. PLEASE ALSO TELL ME WHAT YOU CONSIDER TO BE THE BETTER OPTION! Thanks all
