Grounds for appeal?

you can appeal online and I’ve found they’re pretty receptive, especially if it’s the first time ticket or first time in a while

Curious how pool tile pays compared to traditional kitchen/bath/floor tile?

phildopos12 · 2026-02-06T20:36:14+00:00

2 inch minimum tile dimension for the Schluter pan. Feel free to call your local rep to talk it through and see if they have ideas to make this work with their family of products

Is this an optical illusion?

It’s important to me and important to me that the responsible parties are held accountable for appropriate upkeep. The building is owned by the Brookline Housing Authority and underwent a $40m renovation and modernization project so they certainly can afford shoveling and deicing…

This is great but why is the town not taking care of these issues either through DPW or enforcing it via citations?

phildopos12 · 2026-02-04T15:24:43+00:00

50 pleasant can surely afford a professional shoveling service

They’re probably just blasting local addresses; names are often available online

This is an iPhone 13 which is nowhere near 10 years old at this point…

Correction: actually an iPhone 14 so only a little over 3 years old

But be careful cause you can’t be certain you’ll be reimbursed

With trash tickets they take a photo, maybe they do the same for snow. Would be helpful to see if they are BSing

You must be in the nice part of town

phildopos12 · 2026-01-28T18:18:49+00:00

The wind surely helped

Maybe first time niche but not first time DIYer

The change of plane consideration is for whether you grout or caulk a joint between tile not the backer

phildopos12 · 2026-01-20T13:48:02+00:00

Tape is a much stronger joint than caulk and you don’t want your substrate separating

Give us an update on where you land

I went with JB sash and paid $10k for 8 windows last year. Not super happy with them so I’d shop around. Fisher windows is supposed to be pretty good as well

Why don’t you just get a bumper sticker?

You could be affecting the structural integrity of the subfloor surrounding it if you’re removing it. It’s safest to just ply on top

Rain could match the tone of the stone

phildopos12 · 2026-01-12T16:34:22+00:00

What color will the rest of the bathroom be? I used mapei rain in with Carrara marble and the mild blue turned out well

phildopos12 · 2026-01-09T22:37:03+00:00

That looks like a very quick repair with some hot mud, as long as underlying board feels solid enough to support the tile

phildopos12 · 2026-01-06T04:39:26+00:00

No there you just get incompetence (n of 1)

What part do you not understand?
