    Oil Down, Donations Up

    It would be hard to find anyone in Washington government that isn't corrupt these days. Those guys are all "on-the-take" in one fashion or another. Obama is the worst thing to happen to this country in decades and John Mc Cain wouldn't have been any better. It doesn't mater who is in control of...

    Replace solid hardwood with engineered?

    That, is certainly arguable. Don't know what I'm missing but so far THAT is plain and simple hogwash. Sounds as if you need a different designer. QUESTION:Does this designer have a vested interest in selling you a lot of new stuff? ANSWER: Abso-damn-lutely she does. Commissions can...

    Should I or Shouldn't I

    This is exactly why I weened myself away from remodeling and went to strictly new homes several years ago. Thing is......

    Should I or Shouldn't I

    Well there ya go! Hadn't thought about shimming the crap in that manner but that'll work I suppose. I hate deals like this one and under other circumstances wouldn't even consider it. Now let's see if anyone agrees with you.:D

    Should I or Shouldn't I

    I have a small bathroom in an old house in progress. The original subfloor is a roly-poly mess but I can deal with that easy enough when it comes to the tile installation. HOWEVER... The homeowner has now asked me to give an estimate to install 5/8" prefinished bamboo in a kitchen and hall...

    Taping backer board seams

    ALL cement board makers recommend the use of thinset under their boards. NO cement board maker recommends construction adhesive. Very bad idea! Construction adhesive is generally applied in (strings) and will over time become super hard. The voids where no adhesive string exists is an air gap...

    WTF Illegal?

    More on the mentoring gig. The kids start showing up about seven in the morning. Their moms roll in in the family SUV and the sleepy-eyed little darlings stumble out of a side door dragging a back pack and clunking the gun muzzle on the headliner of moms car. They are mostly dressed in new...

    WTF Illegal?

    Funny that should come up. I have mentored youngsters twelve to sixteen years old for the Pheasants Forever organization. Holy crap!!! I've seen some pretty scary things when it comes to youngsters handling firearms. It's amazing how little common sense that exists out there these days.

    Taping backer board seams

    Always tape as you go with the tile. If you tape ahead of time and allow it to dry you'll have teeters you won't want to deal with.:)

    Happy Easter

    How does the Easter Bunny paint all of those eggs? He hires Santa's elves during the off-season.

    If there is a problem with moisture, how soon will problems appear....

    I guess I'm taking "100% success" to mean 100% perfection. Perfection can be illusive at times. I've been in this business over thirty years and I often mention I have never had a failure or a failed job, NEVER. However I have been called-out for making that statement but dammit, it's true...

    WTF Illegal?

    It could go much much deeper than that if one is to believe some of the things that are going around about Obama. Who knows what to believe these days?

    If there is a problem with moisture, how soon will problems appear....

    But, do you ever get it the way you operate? Just askin'!:D I can answer that question. The question was meant to be rhetorical anyway.

    WTF Illegal?

    So would this stop the A-Holes that change their email address every day to send me harrassing advertising emails? Can I then have them arrested for stalking me on a daily basis.:D

    Large format tile

    You can take a look at the reflections of light coming through the windows and that will tell you if the tiles are flat or not. Excellent job looks to me.:D

    LL Laminate

    Years ago when laminates first hit the market I made a few installations using the 1/4" spacer-kit at the walls and the on-hand transitions at the doors. It wasn't long before I was getting call-backs because the entire laminate floor surface was twisting from the daily foot traffic and...
