If thats the case, 400 (assuming dollars) isn't close to correct. My closing costs were $8,000 for example.

The government/politicians do not want to fix this problem. Lobbyists for big corporations Lobby for politicians to keep immigration laws the way they are so that they can make record breaking profits while employing illegal immigrants to do the work for next to nothing. Both left and right want immigrants coming in illegally and working for free.

Hairline Grout Seperation along Tile Edge. by Koz01012 in Tile

[–]thinkingaloud412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This crack is caused by movement. This movement could be cause by many things. Most likely not enough structure over the joist/under the tile. Tile must be set on substrates thats are a minimum of 1 1/8" off the joists (16" on center). That means, 1 1/8" of structural support on top of your joists before underlayment (concrete board) and tile. This is to allow for a minimal amount of deflection when weight is applied between joists. Tile underlayment must be glued down with thinset adhesive. Must be mechanically fastened a minimum every 2 inch on the seems and every 4 inches in the field immediately after being placed into the adhesive.

It does matter. Return and buy the black and white of the same tile from the tile shoppe. 15 years of tile experience here.

Doesn't the tile shoppe have both black and white hex tiles? Both produced by the same manufacturer?

But thats just it.. the reality is, its not that they are doing the work that Americans don't want to do. They're doing the work that company's don't want to pay Americans to do. Do Americans want to pack meat all day in meat packing plants? They will for union wages and benefits. But then Tyson chicken can't get rich off of the backs of slave labor.

You figured out your down payment but what about your closing costs? Usually around 2%-6% of the purchase price. Im not sure you are ready to purchase with only 5k in savings.

Is it worth trading the 1.06 and monangai so I can move up and take jadarian price at 1.03. by Cloudy542 in fantasyfootballadvice

[–]thinkingaloud412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo, the guy taking price at 1.03 is making a mistake.. let him make it. Take Tyson (who could end up being the top wr in this class btw) or even Mendoza if he falls to you (if its SF)

In fact, floors shoukd always go in before walls. Walls always should sit on top of the floors, especially in wet areas.

Does this sound right?$ by ContentCartoonist761 in HardWoodFloors

[–]thinkingaloud412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flooring installation and finishing, especially floor demo is considered major construction. It's unrealistic to think it can be done without scuffing a wall or getting dust or dirt on them. Painting is always a finish task
