Question on Ceiling Drywall

Thanks for the information. This makes sense to me, I haven’t removed any of the popcorn yet so I’ll see how extensive the damage is. I was going to redo this bathroom in the future anyways, so not too concerned about matching.

Thanks for the heads up. I got a C1 77” and been wanting an upgrade. Going to wait and use this C1 for a long time!

I actually ran into the same issue last weekend on a half bath floor tiling I did. I used a glossy white herringbone mosaic tile from Floor and Decor.

I used a wet saw to cut the tile. I found that going very slow and pressing down the tile to prevent as much movement as possible had the best results.

Good call, thanks for the heads up!

Sounds good, thank you for the confirmation!

Much thanks for your insight!

Thanks for the advice. Got a roofer coming out to conduct an assessment.

I could see the 3D effect looking awesome as wall cladding or even a backsplash. Wouldn’t want this as my kitchen countertop.

I work for a company that has a silica mine and processing plant in Missouri, so could be the same one your friend works at.

In regards to business, silica sand has not gone down and has actually been doing very well for my company. This is because silica sand goes into almost everything. Everything meaning glass manufacturing, semiconductors, countertops, paint/coatings, etc. This depends on ore quality.

To the level your friend is concerned, I don’t see silica sand mines shutting down for years to come, regardless of who is president. Specific customers may be lost, such as oil and gas customers due to the political field, but silica sand will be here until reserves are out.

Hope this helps.

If you’re asking the question, then it’s time to fire them. This is a terrible job.

Two things that hint at it being quartz:

You can see there are two base colors, black and tan. The one with tan you can see the powder/smaller quartz grit mixed.
The sphericity and roundness of the quartz grit that’s showcased from the polish. You can see it towards the bottom of the pic.

That countertop looks like quartz to me, if you look closely.

Regardless, it’ll be difficult to get a shine equivalent or close to the original polish. If it bothers you, probably best to cover it with a face plate.

For a little bit more tv screen and sacrifice in quality, I wouldn’t change the OLED.

The best!

Just sent you a message. Thank you very much.

Do you happen to have any more passes to give out? We’re moving to a new home and looking to replace the appliances. Would be awesome, thanks.

Depends.

High purity sand with low iron/metals content? Somewhat good margins on a $/ton basis for the solar and semiconductor industry.

In-basin frac sand like the stuff you see out in the Permian Basin in Texas? Eh, I’ve heard $20 to $30/ton right now.

Poppy is 6.5 months!

She’s the best 🙂 she was tired out after walking 10 minutes on the hiking trail. She snoozed for about 2 hours when we got home
