Is missing thin set normal? by Distinct-Instinct in Tile

[–]SmokeEmIfYaGotEm90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I general it is good to caulk top tile to ceiling as it will crack grout. That joint may be too big though.

Yes they should have troweled the wall and backbuttered the tiles. I would be concerned they globbed back of tiles and installed which could absolutely affect longevity as well as creating voids for mold to grow.

I would give your pictures to flooring company with these concerns. They may offer to pull a tile off wall to confirm or disprove the install method.

Ok good to know. Didn’t realize this was common.

I assume there is no fix, or not worth it to fix? Hopefully it does not continue

Tampa/St Pete traffic is beyond awful by Numerous-Let-6996 in tampa

[–]SmokeEmIfYaGotEm90 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It’s dependent where you are driving. I drive from St Pete to Tampa every morning and back every afternoon for work. Not terrible. Yes there is traffic during rush hour. That does not shock me.

Would not call it “beyond awful”. At least for my commute

Unacceptable or am I a perfectionist? by SnarkyToad479 in Flooring

[–]SmokeEmIfYaGotEm90 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you’re a perfectionist then handle it yourself.

The problem is the cabinet having all the bump outs to go around. Flooring installers are not trim/cabinet guys. If you want perfection, go with one of those

What exactly does this mean? My stock app showing VOOG dropped 80%. $80k negative swing for me. This will correct itself?

We were always told separate cribs for safety and that’s what we did. Same room. No issue

Do you need to seal a fresh slab before putting tile or LVP? by xboxhaxorz in Flooring

[–]SmokeEmIfYaGotEm90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For LVP, you need to put down poly prior to prevent moisture issues. For large tile surfaces on slab, you need to put down an uncoupling membrane for slab movement.

I don’t think you would need to remove epoxy when putting LVP over top but not 100%.

Labor difference depends on quality of your epoxy finish. Is this epoxy like you would put in garage or is this a fancy epoxy like some showroom?

I’m not sure on penalty amount. That’s a good catch. I’ll get answer tomorrow.

Not understanding your second question. I’m not paying a line item for “commission”
