I like your tile too! Everyone has nice tile it seems.

@WeedFreak78 you know that Gorilla Glue construction adhesive worked perfectly. When we hit armageddon I bet the only thing left standing in my house are those two tiles! They are unmovable, thanks!
Word of advice on bathroom remodel, if you go for a 100 gallon tub get the real time hot water heater. Luckilly we have since upgraded to a 40 gallon side arm that if I crank to max I can actually fill the thing.

Unmovable and unrREmovable, that stuff is PERMANENT. I used it to glue some 4x4s together when my mailbox post got hit. When I replaced it, I wanted to save the wood, but the glue held and I ended up tearing the wood apart along the grain. I've seen it remove concrete from foundation walls when wood had been glued down. That stuff is no joke.

I got a call back on the job application. Seems like it's in the bag, just need to go through the formal interview Tuesday. They were so impressed by my resume they brought up a supervisory position they aren't even supposed to be offering yet. I told them I'm probably not interested, but we'll talk. I don't really want the responsibility. What confused me was they were extremely impressed with the fact I did auto body work and know how to use hand tools...fucking hand tools. I've been involved in the hiring process at my last place and I realized then 9 out of 10 people that apply for work in my field are complete :dunce:, but seriously, who applies for a mechanical assembly job of you can't use basic hand tools? The only part I don't really like is I'll have to go to Chicago for training for a couple weeks. Fucking Chicago .... That's where the plant is they're shutting down. I had said I'd never fly again after the TSA was implemented, fuck them:finger:, maybe I'll drive. I also mentioned I've been involved with 3 shop moves /setups and they said they may want to bring me in early to help get the line up and running. On the phone they said the assembly position paid $16/hr, I told them online it said $18-20/hr and they immediately said they'd be willing to do $20 for someone with my background. This is starting to sound too good and I'm waiting for the big BUT.....

This confirms my attempt at home repairs will hold up to the task now.


The concrete weight at the bottom of a standalone toilet roll holder had crumbled and no longer held the dispenser upright.

That GG is holding the concrete pieces s in place and the post is now standing erect as a wedding penis .



I have no idea how it broke but the next time they have an industrial shit i'm confident they can depend on the roller to be standing
at the ready to assist.:bigjoint:

Have you seen the "Forever" TP roll and holder? If it fell over it might kill your kid.

Uuhh, Hhu.
Put some of the lexan for my cold frame away, because last week I was actually able to leave it open overnight. My peppers are about 6in tall. I have been eating lettuce for about a month now, the romaine is coming in while the buttercrunch and black seeded simpson are beginning to bolt. The poppys I saved seeds from seem like they got stunted by the late frost and are just coming out of it.
We did have a cool early spring. Not the case of late. Two weeks ago when everyday was in the high 90's screwed my green beans. They are blooming, but not setting fruit. This will be the first year I didn't make a mess off a patch of beans. I'll give them another week or so, then they get tilled under for something more productive.

. . . . . . . . . On the scale.. . . . . . . . .

Some people have the opposite problem with regard to body image.
When I used to frequent myfitnesspal.com, that weight is known as one'derland. I'm a little north of one'erland at the moment. 205 and change this morning.

Tons of hair though. Just a touch of gray at the temples. Although my winter beard gets whiter each year. I cut my hair on the change of the season, so it's about as long as it ever gets.

lol

I never thought about that. The water heater not being able to keep up.

At some point it would not be very hot in the hot tub.
I have a big tub and we went with the 100 gallon water heater. It will keep up, but I hate the thought of the light bill if I were to splish splash too often.

I have a paper towel holder in my bathroom that lost the concrete ballast. Me being a dummy, didn't even know it had concrete in the base until it all crumbled and fell out. I still use it. I mean how often does your paper towel holder fall over?

We use big rolls here at work, but the center hole is bigger. Since I'm a unreformed tree hugger, I like that our new tp dispensers have a small space off to the side for the piece a rolls. It did lead to an awkward moment when I was showing the new girl how it worked. I ask her if she thought it would fit in the small hole, and if so, it was time to change it out.

We have a new girl here at work. Our friend and neighbor came over one day and told me she had one too many in the crew she had working for her, and did we want her. I said hell yes we wanted her. I put it to my board member, and he agreed. Never turn down free labor.

We are a non-profit, so we were eligible for this hurricane recovery program. It took a couple of weeks to jump through all the hoops, but now we have her for 40 hours a week at no cost to us. Her background is in landscaping, and we still have a ton of work to do on the grounds, so that dovetailed nicely. She can only work on hurricane damage according the program guidelines. I read that as she can pretty much do anything we need, since everything is here is effected by the storm.

You've never had a water heater not keep up? Damn, I suck..
I don't miss those days. The single old woman who lived here before us put in a smaller water heater at some point, like 20gal, she probably never showered. My father upgraded it to a 30gal a couple years after we moved in, but it still didn't keep up sometimes. About 6 years ago we replaced the old oil heating system with gas and I had them put in a 60 gal indirect tank and I never lose hot water now. It's nice being able to take a long hot shower to relax after busting ass all day and not get chased out by cold water. I've actually nodded off in there a couple times now. Made me think about how drowning in a shower would be a pretty pathetic way to die.

The last time I paid for a haircut was November 1983. Didn't have a choice that time, as Uncle Sugar was making up my mind for me. But since then, I've cut it myself. I cut it 2 1/2 to 3 inches long all over except the back, which is a little longer. The first week or so it's pretty short and spikey, but since I go 3 months between hair cuts, it does get long.

Back in the day I could always tell when it was time for a haircut when 3 women told me it looked good. If I went by that now, sadly I would become a hippy.

No doubt, I’m a renter and the one we have now is smallish, honestly not sure the size, short and stubby, probably 3’ tall and about the same across. We have a family of 3 and we all take long showers, sometimes we have to tell our daughter to get out. Lol. The wife and I like molten hot showers. If we do all back to back, that last shower will start to cool, not cold I gotta get out now but no longer molten. When I was a kid, different story. May be why I like molten showers.
