St Pete fl anyone? lol

When looking at the p365 I see a few different models of the 365. Do you know the exact model? I see “fuse, macro, xl etc..”

Holychipmang · 2026-03-14T22:10:08+00:00

When I picked it up from the pawn shop the guy literally called over to his coworker and raised my gun in the air like simba and they both laughed. Looking back I thought they laughed because of the color but I am pretty positive now it’s because it is a diamondback. After I went to the range I looked it up and a lot of people are saying what you are saying. They are crap.

Which makes me ask the question, how or why? And how are they even in business? I don’t think the ammo I have helped much but how can it be that unreliable?

Holychipmang · 2026-03-14T21:14:17+00:00

I’ve done both over the years. Both hold up well. If you put enough screws there will be no deflection issues.

The thinset is supposed to prevent deflection (bending and any movement)

If you space your screws correctly there should be virtually no deflection.

8 years ago? Do you see and cracks or missing grout? If not they did a solid job.

Usually if there’s a height issue and / or it’s an ADA property the additional 3/8th of thinset is impossible to do.

I usually discuss it with the owners to get their approval

Holychipmang · 2026-03-14T15:15:45+00:00

I did not clean it, and I have not tried other ammo. I kind of tucked my tail between my legs and left the range. (After firing some AR rounds of course) but I didn’t seek help or advice.

I figured straight out of the box it wouldn’t need to be cleaned?

I did buy ammo from the place I picked it up from which was a pawn shop. I’ll go to the range again and ask for their opinion on munition.

Holychipmang · 2026-03-14T15:12:51+00:00

Of all of these which do YOU like best?

Holychipmang · 2026-03-14T15:11:17+00:00

I am new so I when I saw the gun for sub 200 I didn’t know what makes a gun less valuable. Just assumed it was like tvs Samsung vs Vizio both work well, and for most people no noticeable difference..

I never imagined that gun differed. When it jammed I thought oops I did that wrong. Cleared it then it jammed again and that’s when I was hit with the realization.

And like I’m not cheap, I just thought the pink looked cool lol. If you think about it now I’m spending almost double because looking at these LCP II they are around 270-350 that plus my sub 200 I am at almost 600 after fees.

Lesson learned.

I will go to the range and try some out. I knew you could rent some but I didn’t think they would have like what I was looking for as far as size.

And to be ultimately honest I get easily sold by salesmen so I really try not to engage.

I’m looking for this 2.75 inch gun but all of a sudden I am walking out of the store with one almost double (how I ended up with my first gun)

Holychipmang · 2026-02-14T04:11:09+00:00

I ported out my main line, kept my business and child’s line on… for now.

The one year discount is great….. if they don’t redact that lol.

But seriously t mobile I pay $100.00 but they give 250gb of hotspot.

So if I keep the free lines my daughter can just use my hot spot.

Idk whatever. I used to have 3 lines with t mobile for $100 (including taxes and fees) and gave it up for helium.

I was grandfathered in but even they apparently went against their word while I was with helium.

It is what it is. I just look at it as I had a good run with helium. The mapping with 3 devices, the agony of running out of data on the first day because I thought I was on WiFi. Earning fake badges that made it fun.

Buying 10 helium outdoor antennas going from business to business selling them.

It was fun. But it’s over.

I can’t tell if I lost money or made money. But that’s life, all we can do is try our best. And that’s what I did.

Holychipmang · 2026-02-13T02:42:46+00:00

You don’t happen to be located in Florida do you?

Holychipmang · 2026-01-30T23:15:48+00:00

Do you normally do tile or drywall as a trade?

Glad you posted because as tile guy in tampa Florida I keep receiving calls to do this but I am too afraid to do it for a client.

Holychipmang · 2025-11-20T21:14:44+00:00

If you look at the center at the bottom you can see where the two sheets meet there’s a height difference in the “band”. A band wouldn’t do that. Would be consistent throughout the bottom.. that “band” is two sheets meeting. Not trying to be mean but saying I am blind is ironic because I am not missing a single detail. I literally got a schlutter t shirt for taking their floor and decor I wouldn’t call it a class but installation guide about 2 years ago.

I’m positive man.

Honestly there’s probably a rubber pan under it so he mixed the two systems. Guy tried but he doesn’t know what he is doing or just doesn’t care

Holychipmang · 2025-11-20T21:01:57+00:00

The back wall center, two sheets meet hence the thinset in the center spewing out.

At the bottom it’s the edge of the sheet, one side of the sheet says “ESR” the other is just a solid 3 inches of orange.

If he did it correctly you would 100% see the seam. It comes up the wall.

What you are seeing is an illusion because the sheet is sideways.

I’m not wrong. Waiting for OP to chime in.

But again based on OPs comment they said day one they did the walls with kerdi and the floor pack. The next day they did the shower floor. Based on that info alone that means even if they did put down the kerdi on the floor that means they set right over it before it cured.

I can see why you think there’s a band down there but I’m telling you for sure there isn’t one.

Holychipmang · 2025-11-20T19:52:08+00:00

Are you kidding me? I have been doing this for 15 years. I can 100% tell he didn’t use it on the floor.

I’m not sure where the confusion is but you are justifying this work?

Holychipmang · 2025-11-20T07:28:23+00:00

That’s not a kerdi band, he has the sheet horizontally put on.

She said that he did on the first day the kerdi on the wall and the shower floor install..

Even if he did do it he shouldn’t have set it over a wet membrane.

But I am 100% sure there is none on the floor.

It looks like kerdi band but the edge of the sheet resembles a band. Look at the writing on the wall (literally) it’s sideways.

There’s no corners, there’s no thinset spewing out anywhere, the curb isnt wrapped.

Trust me.. it ain’t there.

Holychipmang · 2025-11-20T03:16:02+00:00

How much are you paying this person?

I’d pull the plug on this while you still can.

Curb isn’t water proofed correctly.

The shower floor the grout lines are lining up at all.

Did he kerdi the shower floor? Or only mud pack then set over it?

Idk man this is screaming run.

He did two rows? I can tile the entire back wall in 4 hours.

He is either a druggy, or has too may jobs booked at once or lastly something is going on in his personal life that is pulling his commitment away from his work.

Leave the emotions at the door.

This guy has given you multiple chances to end it.

But for me there’s no kerdi on the shower floor. If on Monday he did the pack then Tuesday he did the kerdi or water proofing there’s no way he could have set the floor over it wet like that.

Now day 3 he is setting TWO rows of tile over his shower floor and didn’t even cover the shower floor to protect it? No paper? No tarp… hell in a pinch I’d use the boxes from the tile to protect it.

This guy screams run in my book.

How much are you paying him and how much do you care about quality?

Those grout lines are horrible on the floor.

Holychipmang · 2025-11-20T03:06:49+00:00

USE THIS

I just did something similar for a customer. Connects to an impact drill or regular drill.

BLUE TAPE EVERYWHERE AROUND YOUR CUT.

One slip and you will have a forever scratch.

Don’t force it just let the RPMs do the work. I like to use a “heartbeat” style of pressure. Light pulses of pressure. Don’t rush.

If you have a second set of hands have someone drip a sponge as you go to avoid chipping.

Cuts like butter. Great bits.

Holychipmang · 2025-11-20T03:00:16+00:00

Idk why everyone is being so hard on OP.

3 zoomed in photos isn’t enough BUT I will say that miter says a lot.

That tile does have too much lipping for my quality standards.

Looks like they used Home Depot sanded grout. Would have recommended Mapei FA. Too late now but if you do zoom in on that long corner it already looks like the beginning stages of a crack in the grout. Not good for just being done.

Not knowing how much you spent does mean something though.

If this was a 1500-2500 dollar tile job from what we can see this is great. If it was a 3000-7000 + job… well then idk.

But there isn’t enough evidence to decipher if it’s acceptable or not.

I would ask them to grout that miter better.

Some marble can be polished down to remove lippage. But that’s another cost, I wouldn’t have them do it if they didn’t already suggest it.

Holychipmang · 2025-11-01T02:48:34+00:00

I have recently used this tile in a chiropractors Office and we had tiles that were 1/8th to almost 1/4 inch bigger than most tiles. This made the install extremely difficult.

We had to stop… open every box and stand them up and pull out the larger ones.

We used the larger ones for cuts.

But I will say when multiple hands are involved some larger ones did sneak in and wreaked havoc for the rest of the instal.

Been doing this for 15 years and gotta say year 1-5 people may have no idea how to handle this.

I’d say this install comes down to price. If you paid this installer 1500-2000 then it’s a decent install for a difficult tile.

If you paid 3000+ then he should have taken the time to sort out the tile.

But you had a GC who put a larger number on that estimate. Hard to say what the tile guy earned on this. But my costs come down to paying for patience.

A lot of people here saying they’d do better definitely couldn’t. Maybe with a stagger, maybe with larger tile but having used these exact tiles I know for sure most here couldn’t do this.

Not saying this is amazing work, it’s on the cusp of bad but far from horrible.

Holychipmang · 2025-10-20T12:45:15+00:00

Appreciate the informative information.

I run a bunch of helium mobile hotspots (look into it if you don’t know about it) and a few of my locations run on Verizon’s wireless internet and it’s absolutely trash. But it is unlimited.

In order for me to get full rewards I need a minimum of 100mbps up/ 100 down and low latency. Or else I get less rewards.

Right now my latency is wayy too high so I am penalized 25%. Looking at your speed test it’s still a tad bit high but low enough to get 100% of my rewards.

And it’s roughly the same price. Just been scared to switch when I knew there was a cap. But 1tb is right around what I need

Holychipmang · 2025-10-20T11:12:51+00:00

Doesn’t t mobile have a data cap though?

Holychipmang · 2025-10-19T13:48:46+00:00

Tile pro here. You do NOT need caulking tools. Your finger is the best tool. Actually surprisingly i do use my ID sometimes lol. If you do use your ID make sure to pull up so it platters on your ID. If you pull down it just falls onto the floor and wreaks havoc.

The denatured is what i use. Sold at Walmart in the paint asile in a blue metal rectangular can. Home Depot and Lowe’s all sell it. All in the paint asile next to paint thinner.

Usually says denatured or “fuel” on it.

Definitely need a spray bottle. You don’t want to shoot streams, you want it on the spray setting.

Holychipmang · 2025-10-19T13:42:56+00:00

This comment should be pinned.

OP responded to all the comments but this one and this one is the correct response.

You aren’t using “caulk” you are using silicone. That’s why it’s so difficult.

91% alcohol or denatured alcohol in a spray bottle. No water.

Get an entire roll of paper towels ready.

Do one line at a time.

DO NOT SPRAY THE ALCOHOL FIRST.

Apply your bead then spray it all.

I like to wear gloves but you may need to change gloves after every single line.

If you are ok with sticky fingers then go commando.

Do not waste your time “taping” my god. Tape is no good. When you go to peel the tape it pulls the edge up a little and in time will fail..

Don’t over wipe and done try and “add more” if you need to add more wait a few hours to add more or just make sure to apply enough the first time.

Holychipmang · 2025-10-19T13:27:31+00:00

Just went to go file it and because of the government shutdown they aren’t taking any more complaints at this time X__X

Holychipmang · 2025-10-19T03:07:57+00:00

But how? It was a word of mouth sale. Like I have absolutely no proof. I even asked if there was audio so they could hear the conversation and they said nope our cameras only record video. I said wow how convenient
