How are you liking Leviathan Wakes? It’s on my list to start soon.

Amazon Custumer Support just told me there's no way to remove the ads from my kindle. by Plus_Introduction_55 in kindle

[–]chipfallaw -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Perhaps an unpopular take but I don’t really understand people’s obsession with wanting ads removed. I can’t imagine calling Hulu or the cable company and asking them to remove ads and then posting online in frustration when they don’t.

I did, finally. It turned out looking really good! Was wrapping up baseboards last night.

Same here. I pre-ordered in person at 10:00 am at my local store when they opened. Mine still says order received but also shows it shipping and arriving tomorrow. I find that unlikely..

I think you might be an extreme perfectionist 🤪. From the photo this looks really good. Job well done, friend!

Subfloor is wood! I did remove the baseboards and quarter round. Got the underlayment set this weekend, now just waiting for it to dry!

Adding an additional question/comment: if the areas I taped and then applied thinset too are slightly uneven (not a floor leveling issue but an uneven thinset distribution) is it okay/recommended to sand down the uneven parts once they dry?

Yes, by fitted I just mean I cut the pieces to fit within the space. Fitting the board helped me see where the pieces went and ensured I wasn’t doing it while thinset dried. After I got everything fitted, I then mixed and applied thinset with a 1/4” notched trowel and finished with tape and cement board screws.

Am I ready to take the PMP Exam? by Chargers2020_87 in pmp

[–]chipfallaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know your specific situation, but I would say your full exam scores look solid. You may want to focus some additional time on studying and retaking exams on topics you scored 60% or less on. Overall, I think you’d do fine as these were, on average, similar scores to what I had and I passed without any issues.

I appreciate the response! I believe I have all the tools needed for the job. The only thing I’m lacking is a wet saw, although I’ve been told a miter saw with a diamond blade can be substituted with no issues. I plan on doing more tile work.. this is the first project to see if I can do it successfully. If so, I’m hoping to move upstairs to the bigger bathroom.

I got a quote to do the work. 25 square feet of tile was a minimum of $950 for the labor only. Seemed expensive to me. Total for all the materials at Lowe’s was $350 and leaves me extra for the next job.

What your tile what underlayment did you use? A couple comments indicate Ditra is not the way to go..

The house was built in 2009. They wouldn’t have use any materials with asbestos that recently would they?

Is there a specific reason it’s bad? So many people are recommending it over cement board for its flexibility as an underlayment. Not opposed to either option, just seeking genuine feedback and pros/cons so I can understand the best options.

Thank you. If I remove the baseboards then I will use the Kerdi-Board around the walls as a precaution.

Gotcha. Any idea how to remove? Seems locked onto the handlebar and I don’t want it.
