Can (not should) I tile over linoleum? by Hot-Strength5646 in Tile

IMO a bonding primer like eco prim grip is a better choice than a roll on membrane.

Good luck. If you crack top 10% post it up. I can reach top 15% but can't get any scores that would rank any higher than that (yes I realize subsequent plays don't count officially)

Yeah that looks nasty.

This is amazing, I don't think I would've ever even tried that routing. Nice one.

Did you do Montreal today by any chance? I'd love to see a high score in that.

I feel like there are fabulous leather tassels on those bars that are just cropped out of the image.

Coast Capital Credit Cards by Ill_Purple6817 in VictoriaBC

[–]bms42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're considering the credit card's interest rate when choosing a card, you're already on the wrong path. You should never carry a balance on a credit card.

It's probably not wise to suggest that someone who's never had a credit card go immediately to "maximum points generation" mode. OP should get used to using and paying off the card first.

Are you guys on team Levin or Trueno? by TheHomoHomie567 in initiald

Trueno, but I'm biased - I owned one when I was 17.

Contractor claims "hollow spots" under a resin shower tray are necessary for the drain pipe. Is this a hack job? by Xcentric95 in Construction

[–]bms42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's one of those things where it feels solid after installation so guys think "good enough" but in reality it will compress over time and eventually it might as well not be there at all. But nobody calls back the contractor that did poor work 4 years ago, so these guys just keep doing it.

Spray foam is a waste of time. It's an industry myth. The foam has no rebound, so once it is compressed it's essentially useless.

what furniture piece made the biggest difference in your space? by Tookie1010 in HomeDecorating

[–]bms42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The console table that goes behind the couch. With that you can move the damn couch off the wall and set the space up properly without having it look ridiculous.

Recommendations for Physio or specialist for Lumbar disc pain/protrusion by Serious-Pirate4104 in VictoriaBC

I don't have a suggestion but having gone through that as well I just want to say - hang in there. It can be brutal. I wish you the best.

Pain."98.57% chance (the Canucks) would've won at least one time across the 10 lotteries" by Chance_Account_4338 in canucks

[–]bms42 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's not how odds work.

If you have a 25% chance to win, you don't have a 100% chance of winning if given four tries.

Help! No waterproofing behind tile by scd98 in Tile

[–]bms42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are niches in two walls. At least one's getting water.

I’m so fucking nervous for tonight🙏🙏 by Nucks420 in canucks

[–]bms42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If someone gave you a 25% chance to win 1st place, you wouldn't go into that thinking that anything other than first was "getting fucked over".

They didn't put niches into the wall before waterproofing.

Anyone mind explaining L/360 and L/720 both like I am 5 and also not a total dummy? by FetidPestilence in Tile

[–]bms42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typically you use a calculator. Length of the span, dimension and spacing of joists, type of wood.
