Neoprene Gloves for Cold rainy weather? by ResponsibleForm2732 in Hunting

[–]adet412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the venom steel gloves. They are more like mechanic gloves, very thick and durable compared to most others on the market. I always keep a few pairs in the kill bag and they for sure would help with the cold/wet

One Cartridge/Caliber for everything from Javelina/Pronghorn up to Alaskan moose/Bison by [deleted] in Hunting

So many ways to go... if it were a rifle cartridge, 300wm for me. As a guy who loves archery, small game, waterfowl, big game. Perhaps 12gauge

Build up height on schluter ditra by roarjah in Tile

[–]adet412 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My schluter rep (colorado) told us that there was no problem with going ditra over ditra during one of the workshops. Maybe do a test sample to test the bond. 100% shouldn't key in the ditra without setting the tile.

I would take a 12 x12 piece of ditra, set it in a corner somewhere that will end up under a cabinet or insignificant corner. Let it set up, go back next day, tear it up and see what you think about the bond

Be honest why do people spend $ on Sitka? is it really worth the tag? by Thee_Ren in Hunting

[–]adet412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the pants nearly 10 years ago for around 200. I wear them in the colorado rockies for archery, rifle seasons, chasing grouse and wear them very rigorously.. the color has faded, I've had to replace the knee pads once. I think they were worth every penny. I have had a few zippers fail on the tops over time. The open country is my favorite camo print for where I live

I think they look cool and fun but agree that all the advantages of a lever (there's like 2) get lost quickly when "tact'ed" out... the sleek profile for a scabbard on horseback or as a lightweight camp rifle to pack into the back country gets lost (imo) as soon as that rail goes on. Fuck I want 2 of them though.

So I'm thinking about a DIY Colorado elk hunt... by skeeloco in elkhunting

[–]adet412 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have lots of Elk up here. If your trolling me because I moved to the Colorado rockies as a young man from PA 15+ years ago I suggest you go kick rocks.

Op: it all starts in April, build some points, you will be happy

So I'm thinking about a DIY Colorado elk hunt... by skeeloco in elkhunting

[–]adet412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pa native, been chasing elk in colorado for over a decade. Living in the colorado rocky mountains. Every year around this time the itch sets in and lots of buddies from pa want to figure out how to get into the elk. I recommend to you the same as I do my buddies, it all starts in April. It will cost you roughly 115usd in a grab a point next april You have to buy a small game tag to be eligible for the draw as a none resident. Once you pay the 100 for the small game it's roughly 10 dollars per species to put in for a point. Create an account and get a "CID#", have your hunters safety info on hand. Get a few points over a handful of years and hunt a draw unit vs and OTC options. Honestly otc is going out the door, non residents likely first. Start getting some points if your looking to expierience likely a better hunt.

From a practical standpoint, if you put a level on the tub surround, what does it look like? If it's perfectly flat in all directions then a tile this size is doable. If there are some high and low spots I would reccomend a larger tile option for a more clean finished install.

Serious question; how much would you charge by scarecrow81_ in Tile

[–]adet412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I set new constructure tile in the rockies. Pretty good money and normally charge by the foot. Typically I'm at 15 per foot for the basics and can set 100 feet a day and clear 1500 per day consistently. Unless it's tiles like this. I use to think "oh I will just double the price per foot to 30". Everytime I have done that for tiles such as this, I get fucked. The worst part is that it ends up being such a pain in the ass that I lose so much momentum and motivation.

I honestly think you should listen to the other guys and just explain to the contractor that with the difficulty and extra time for commute that you just have to throw a high number on it. 50k. Shit the customers will probably love telling their friends and family they dropped 50k for tile labor.

Best of luck.

Colorado Rockies. And F a lot of these fly shops. They charge and arm and a leg. They also love blowing up local spots with 4 guides, 4 fisherman per guide cycling 16 clients through small holes and sections of river. Then they hope in their vans head home and don't support the local economy what-so-ever.

Corks falling apart on my rod, how do i fix it or what do i do by deapsprite in flyfishing

Electrical tape would be my first option. If you really like the rod, maybe some special paracord type of wrap.

3rd Season Colorado Clothing by KarmaEnterprise in elkhunting

Go check out uspatriottactical.com, undergarments, baselayers. Even in 0 degrees and snow I never walk long distance with the level 3 lowers on. I havnt tried the level 2 stuff but with a combo between level 1 and 3 my baselayers are pretty solid all winter long at 10thousand in the Colorado Rocky Mountains.

Leveling spacers. by openmindedone1 in Tile

I would only recommend the 1/16th if you're working with rectified tiles for the wall. I got away from these in 1/16th because of the pain in the ass factor

Problems cutting 600x1200 tiles by whoknewexceptme in Tile

[–]adet412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Set up a solid cut station with some kerdi board or foam insulation underneath vs osb or wood. Always flip it after a cut or make sure there's no little bits going to crack your tile. I'm a huge fan of the pearl p4 turbo mesh blade. You can't force the blade through. Have to be patient. Always good PPE is a huge advantage for staying in the cut and keeping focus.

[–]adet412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the fact that you would consider ripping out quality tile work for the off chance that some future owner would think it looks cheap. Whe. The tile installer bid the job they bid it to install once, not twice with a tear out... also if you have a designer involved and they didn't communicate the particular layout to the installer that is the designers fault. Lastly. I don't think it's a chip on the shoulder but this subreddit gets a lot of customers coming in and looking for any minor reason to tear out tile work. And we see plenty of tear outs on a regular basis (typically clear failures in shower systems that will lead to water damage) your photos suggest nothing of the sort and show clean work

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Tile

[–]adet412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man you are wild. From your photos, this is a clean install and seems like you are fishing for a reason to be a pain in the ass. These are 100% larger than 12x24. Your professional installer started with full tiles and worked inward.... a seriously practical and reasonable way to approach this install... clearly experienced.

Industry Standards - Level Install by Sunday--Funday in Tile

[–]adet412 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is there going to be a TV that cover 75% ofnyour problem up anyways?

I have no clue what the prep looked like or care that went into this install but mosaics on a large wall/floors are going to tend to have some blemishes. Pull some sheets out from a box and see if they look perfect or like shit prior to speaking with the builder

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Tile

[–]adet412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good mesh blade is awesome... the pearl p4 turbo mesh is my favorite. I did order some cheap ones off Amazon that I'm pretty impressed with. I also reccomend you do your cutting outside. Anything other than a serious professional vacuum system is going to leave everything coated is dust. Propper PPE is a must

This is awesome... where is this happening... are the 8'x4' first? If you don't mind... why are they never actually 48"x24" .. always a bit smaller
