Are you doing the hole house?

We just did our house last fall with the same, the original one my wife and I liked was over $4/sq ft just for the tile. I continued to shop around and found the ones in the link below for 1.80 sq/ft and absolutely love them! A little bit of texture on the tile face and not too slick. 8x36 in.

I was worried that they are manufactured in China but have no complaints so far.

True. You are supposed to put the pint down your throat, but if you dribble it'll just wipe right up.

Here's how some of the work is turning out.

Oldest son's room:

Boy'd bathroom with new tub, shower tile, and toilet. Still have to finish the vanity area.

After Citizens United, the decision on gerrymandering, and now with the fact that we are now going to have a new Justice on the S.C., our democracy is in big, big, trouble.

Who did the first property owner buy his property from?

In the US anyway, the first property owner didn't buy it, he stole it from natives.

I didn't do the tile work. I did it the American way and hired an illegal. I did build the vanity though.

Seconds ago, it was announced that the 10th kid has been taken out of that cave in Thailand - so the last three can't be too far behind (then they have to get the doctor and trainers out too don't forget).

This operation is already an order of magnitude more successful than I imagined in my most optimistic imaginings.

The planning, organization, and execution has really been beyond outstanding. There are just no superlatives big enough. Thailand is going to get an absolute heap of extremely well deserved praise at the end of this.

I want to extend condolences to the wife and family of Petty Officer First Class Saman Gunan, who gave his life in this heroic effort.

I've been surprised (stunned even) how, over the last 12 months or so, it's become so acceptable for women to wear black yoga pants as work attire.

I definitely not saying I don't like it. But I do have to count myself as in the surprised category that in the work place we've moved from whatever (jeans/skirt/etc) to semi see through and absolutely meant to focus your eyes clearly on and accentuate her ass, where you immediately recognize she isn't wearing underwear. At work.

But it's a brave new world!

Being a coach seems like a burden initially, and it is. The parents are the worst part...but man, it's rewarding watching the kids have fun and improve.

Why do a lot of these newer mustangs, a few years or so, sound awful? They sound like ricers and look to be all show no go. I've never been a fan of Mustangs but i at the least can respect there history and fandom.

BTW I'm not talking about horses.

I feel like Ford has largely given up on its cars in general in favor of their SUV and truck lines.

ASUHATER! · Post by **ASUHATER!** » Mon Oct 01, 2018 7:37 pm

Didn't they retire the fusion, taurus and focus? Outside of the mustang and GT, yeah they basically just make trucks and SUVs. Since that's what consumers want.
