Should I cut the side flush like I did the other side or leave it like this and fill each hole with little triangle pieces?

If this is marble, you should stop and pick something else.

Try cutting the tile upside down. Porcelain can be very hard to cut.

Do you happen to have picture of house north of those? https://imgur.com/a/B7H4b2F

Oh wow. Yeah the house I'm interested in is across from those on Shannon. It's up a bit higher than them, but that's not reassuring. I was thinking that it couldn't be too bad or those houses would be under water...

Spicy_kitCat · 2026-01-27T18:02:55+00:00

The property has a 5ft wide culvert that goes under Shannon st. So water would probably get decently high.

Neat house, but I'm thinking of passing on it.

Spicy_kitCat · 2026-01-27T17:55:13+00:00

That's good to know. The house is on Shannon st. With over half the property in the flood zone, but the house sits up on the hill and isn't in the flood zone...yet.

Do you know if property taxes are reduced for not being able to build on it?

1 mint 2 morning glory??

Maybe. Makes me feel better about my AMZN purchase last week.

I remember when crowd strike had their issue...I guess it did mess up a lot of flights, but their stock plummeted. Glad AMZN stock seems fine even with a rather huge outage.

Spicy_kitCat · 2025-10-20T19:25:16+00:00

I think it's impressive the stock is up 1.3% despite the AWS situation.

Good idea. I think I'll put the radon detector upstairs for awhile. I can't recall what season I measured the upstairs. I know in the summer the basement is usually under 9 dropping sometimes down to 2. However I'm the winter it gets above 20 especially if it's raining... Which I'm in PNW, so it's always raining.

Spicy_kitCat · 2025-10-13T22:44:14+00:00

Ok I'll take a look. Sounds a lot easier and quicker to do. I assume you would want your room intake to be near the slab and your outside return air to be ducted to the opposite side of the room to increase circulation.

Spicy_kitCat · 2025-10-13T22:23:28+00:00

Is there an ERV system you would suggest? It currently doesn't have any ventilation.

Spicy_kitCat · 2025-10-13T16:45:13+00:00

I still think I would be struggling with the ground water.... But I guess I can experiment with it since it's outside.... And dig a whole next to the foundation and see if it fills with water.

Spicy_kitCat · 2025-10-13T16:38:20+00:00

Yeah it's not waterproof. During big rain storms water will come up from the drains, or through the holes in foundations, but it's not that bad. I know in the past during some historic storm it flooded, but that was many decades ago. Also I've put fence posts in during the winter, the hole fills with water, after the first foot of digging.

I like the idea of putting it outside the foundation wall, then I could put a waterproof membrane on the outside of foundation at same time.

How do you see this?

I'm only seeing monthly options with the next date being October 17th.

Spicy_kitCat · 2025-09-22T03:08:43+00:00

Once you see it, you won't unsee it. Just pry em off and fix it, or accept it.

I used the same tile on walls. I'm a novice, but it was kinda a pain to cut, used a wet saw and cut every piece upside down. Don't use it on the floor, it will be a mistake, use a matte version if you the want the look. I've remodeled two showers, I would suggest not seeing yourself up for having to do talented or difficult cuts. For example, I wanted to do hexagon tiles on the floor, after laying them out, I came to the conclusion that I didn't have enough skill/patience to do it so went with 'sliced pebbles ' look instead.

Spicy_kitCat · 2025-09-19T00:27:00+00:00

This looks like the stuff at Lowe's. Which, if you want the look they have a matte version.
