took a nap after all that food. now i got the runs lol too much spice for me. shaved cause beard was getting itchy again. no idea where everyone is. i think my sister went to work she might come home at 7 tonight idk. she needs to learn to calm the fuck down with work tbh she works like 100 hours a week sometimes she works back to back. one day she is going to get into a car accident because she fell asleep at the wheel. same with her bf.
renovations coming along dad is laying the tiles most was set already but some came loose if he can manage to set the floor and the walls tomorrow i can fill in the gaps while he cuts the counter i mean really the counter is easy to cut just got to cut the hole for the sink and 1 line to fit it and the rest is all just back splash. once that is set we can work on the bedroom flooring cause that is the hardest part. the bedroom floor should take us half a day cutting around the damn edges to fit the closet installing it is super easy though. if my sisters bf is off he can help really not much to do otherwise i mean its literally almost done. only thing left in the bedroom is the floor and the sides of the wall which are wooden got to cut it and glue it on thats it. he can install the blinds easily wont take more then 1hour. bathroom is a little more time consuming though cause of the cement got to wait for it to dry then fill it in wait for that to dry basically lots of waiting for things to dry in the bathroom. i think we can finish it this weekend for sure though.

Properly laying tile is almost an art, not to mention the saw required to cut those tough suckers can cost bank.
BTW, don't ask me to do it unless you want an elementary school art project on your bathroom floor.

I find this hard to believe. There are a few on here who seem to be able to do anything. You fall in this category.

I have a feeling if there was an anchor attached it would probably shine!

Me too. Details withheld.
Thanks, this one piece of bullnose keeps coming loose. I need a better bonding agent. No cuts or anything required, just glue and grout the bastard in place but it keeps popping loose. I'm afraid it needs someone with @Blue Wizard 's level mojo from years of fixing shit the tenants broke.
Yes but I'm not venturing back into the garage to get a picture of it. Yours is much nicer than mine anyway (and cleaner)! LOL

Have you tried acidizing before gluing?
Please tell me more, but for now I'm off to wash my hair

I have a nice tile cutter but got lazy and bought a diamond blade for my grinder, cuts tiles like butter

Phosphoric Acid Cleaner is a fast act-ing, easy to use acid-base cleaner for pre-cast concrete, concrete, masonry,grout, tile and natural stone surfaces. Phosphoric Acid Cleaner will removecement grout haze and mortar residue, joint cement, lime & hard waterdeposits, efflorescence, rust and other dirt and grime. Phosphoric AcidCleaner is suitable for interior and exterior use. Due to the nature of phos-phoric acid, Phosphoric Acid Cleaner is a milder alternative to other acid-base cleaners for concrete, tile, grout and natural stone surfaces

We used it on repairing refractory, helps the new stuff adhere to old.
