Reposed

Indeed it might, if one does not restrain oneself. Though I think that would be unlikely. But like Dippity-Do, a little dab will do you. I doubt regular caulk would suffice, but it is an alternative. But once you try that, if it fails, it's game over.

The zig-zag lines are to guide the driver in confusing the pedestrian, who will surely be trying to jump out of the way.... Increases odds of impact by a good 50%!

Only thing I can think of is expanding foam.

Was looking for a flight for a friend in Oregon to come visit later this month. In December, I paid $561 on ANA for a flight here. That same flight is now over $7000.

4378.

Something fishy is going on in Chiang Mai. No possible way there could be a shortage of State Department staff for consulates. No way. This is like all the recent deaths of younger "celebrities" where no cause of death is given.... Why not say why it is closed? Is it a secret?

Yeah, but it all needs to be shut down and people fired because Thailand is only looking for high-class tourists.... Have a Swedish friend who built a great hotel on Koh Chang. Hard worker, he spent 5 years or so contacting and nurturing travel agencies and bloggers and internet marketing things I don't understand... His business was incredibly successful, 5-star reviews, and the hotel name recognizable in the west. It was always fully booked. Then he sold it two years before covid. The new owners, Thais, immediately changed the name. It sits pretty much empty now, decaying, despite PROMOTION signs hanging everywhere. Moral of the story: If it ain't broke, don't <deleted> fix it. .

I've done hundreds of tile projects over the years, and I always use them, even on small tiles. Once a setter has experience with them, they actually make the job go faster as there is no fiddling with the tile; set it and wedge it and keep going. Besides, some method of spacing must be used, so might as well use clips. And if a setter is going to use clips, might as well insert a wedge. Clips are used once and tossed, wedges are reusable. But everyone has their own way. I myself would not do floor tile without them. They are cheap insurance for a good job. The patio tiles are 36" x 36" rectified porcelain. I used 1.5 mm clips. Perfectly flush.

Well, they sell them at Home Pro and Global, so they are being used by someone for something, though they sure didn't use any at EmQuartier. Horrible job. Having said that, poor craftsman don't want to use them because it takes time. I hired a guy to tile the patio behind my house. He showed up, I handed him the clips, he said no, I said bye. I'm using them in my bathroom right now. The size of the wedges here (4x as big as the US) makes them useless for trim tiles, and awkward for adjustment, but they do work.

...at which the main course will be fried chicken.....

Uneven tile edges is called lippage. Unpleasant to walk on as well as unsightly, it can be avoided in one or both of two ways: Use rectified tiles. These are first fired, then cut to exacting dimensions. Very small grout lines are possible. (Some setters will try to butt tiles against each other. Bad idea; changes in temp/humidity conditions can cause, at minimum, edge damage, at worse, buckling.) The other option (with or without rectified tiles) is to use leveling clips. The ones here have wedges (orange) far too big that actually do the opposite of what they are intended to do. Nonetheless, they will (in sufficient quantity) bring the edges flush. Clips come in varying thickness (1mm, 1.5mm, etc) Large tile format is in style, and generally a quicker install. BTW, level and flat are two different things. A floor does not need to be level to look good and have no lippage. The tile can be flat and flush, without being level. Have the setters butter the back of the tiles for better adhesion, sound deadening, and durability. Use the proper size notched trowel, and insist they notch in one direction only, as opposed to swirling (in photo above). Swirling does not allow air to escape. Before hiring, always go inspect prior jobs. Tearing up installed tile is a nightmare.

No wonder these people have mostly single-syllable nicknames.....

This morning I had waffles.

Well, it's been a quiet three days, but... Guess I'll have to go claim her tomorrow.

Me too. I don't drink coffee to wake up.... I wake up to drink coffee!

It's been a year...probably already blown through it by now.

Nope. An Isuzu pickup. Sorry if you're stuck in one place and live on sour grapes...

Been here 8 months. Carry a cup of coffee in my hand, mask hanging on a finger. Ridiculous assumption.

Maybe not, but you can definitely run more manly... Good sport, there, old boy. Nice to see on this forum.

Can't put it BACK on as I never had it on... Nor will I.

I take it you have not been to D.C? Where the leader of the free world (snort) leads?

Thank you. Very big of you to concede defeat.

That's your best shot? Go back to the range and practice, practice, practice....

So they made a statement, stating they are going to make a statement? Geez.....
