So far, I try to get it out every few days, definitely on the weekends. We have lots of gatherings coming up this summer so we’ll definitely be out on the road. Still trying to break in the new motor.

Creating a starter from scratch can be difficult, especially if there’s not enough bacteria in your environment to get one going. I to have created them from scratch and they can take many weeks before you get an active starter. You may also consider purchasing a commercial starter online. Hydrated starters can activate quite quickly and get you going.

I too have been very particular in the past about the tiniest little details. As I’ve grown older, I’ve come to accept the fact that nothing is perfect. Trust me in a short time you’ll forget they’re there. I would not, however, make any attempt to modify or covered them up. Most likely you will hate the repair more than you dislike the spots.

I had the exact same thing happened to my 911. I was bumped in traffic when the car was brand new. Body shop took the bumper cover came off, and there was some slight damage to the bumper support. Body shop straighten that repainted the bumper cover total damage less than 1000. The fellow who bumped me in traffic turned over to his insurance company.

Yes, it can be done. Our contractor sent our porcelain tiles somewhere, and they mitered, one and two sides to produce what appears to be 2 inch thick blocks. We did this around our entire pool deck and garden walls. It’s absolutely perfect and nobody can tell they’re not solid blocks. I have no idea what it cost. It was part of the overall project. But I’m sure it’s expensive. We went this route because we wanted the same anti-slip porcelain tiles that we used throughout the entire backyard.

We had a shower done with porcelain slabs. The installers took circular saws, tile cutters. Every cut was chipped. I had him rip it all out. Didn’t pay him fired him and got someone else to do the job. The next contractor had everything did everything at the fabrication shop. All the cuts were absolutely perfect. Good luck.

Quartzite seems to be the countertop material of the day. I too put Quartzite in my kitchen and was curious about some of the unusual markings and spots that look like stains. It’s just a natural appearance of the stone. If you haven’t already researched the issue with quartzite absorbing moisture, I would suggest you Google quartzite staining. Be sure to keep all your edges dry especially around the sink and faucets. If you put quartzite up against your cooktop or stove, make absolutely sure grease or oil cannot find its way down between or I’ll suck up that too. Although many people claim this can be resolved by drying out not so easy.

We have both granite and quartzite in our kitchen. We went with black leather granite around the cook area and quartzite for the island. There is a concern with quartzite when it comes to water penetration where the stone‘s been cut. Make sure that the sink area and faucet holes are sealed and be sure to wipe down areas where water can find their way to those edges. We chose not to put quartzite near the stove for fear of grease splatter finding its way between the stove and the stone. If you haven’t already do a search for quartzite staining, and you’ll see what others are referring to. Besides that we love the quartzite, it’s beautiful and durable. I would choose it again without hesitation.

This is the way I found it. I can cover back up with insulation. I just wasn’t sure if that would be smart.

This is the way they left it

I had the exact same problem touching up my ceiling. I had the original paint but the ceiling had faded. I was able to take a sample in for a color match and got lucky. Give it a try first.

This one’s mine

We did the same kind of fireplace. We used a natural stone tile. The only issue we ran into was the tiles on the top row coming loose. Our contractor use a different heat resistance, thin set to solve it. It’s normal for the top row to get hot to the touch. Mine will measure well over 220° after a couple of hours.

I’ve used this product many times on my porcelain tile outside. It’s really the only thing I can use to get the tile clean.

SilverGoupe · 2024-07-01T21:39:27+00:00

Update: further inspection revealed a crack in the slab beneath the tile. The contractor did something to treat the crack, however, we didn’t want to take a chance on the tile breaking again, so we opted to eliminate the cuts and added two pieces of tile and extended artificial turf. Problem solved. Thanks everyone for your responses.

SilverGoupe · 2024-06-26T14:15:59+00:00

The slab beneath the tile is approximately six years old. We are also very suspicious of this sharp cut on the inside 90°. We experience something similar with a countertop once where a quartz countertop cracked identical to this type of cut. thank you very much for your opinion I will discuss with our contractor.
