  1. read read read is all i can say. or have someone help you out your first time so you get a hands on experience. you need to make sure you use the right materials, make sure you level your floor, and make sure you start your tile out right. measure 10 times if you have to. dry lay some of it first to make sure.
  2. yeah well i know of people that have done it, and it usually cracks the tile or grout will come loose within 2-3 years. i told him this but still he didnt listen
  3. its s older sears brand. where would this igniter be... i see two wires that look like plug wires.. both come out of a box.. and then attach to the tube where i can also see that kerosene is injected. i figured there where plugs in it, but have no idea how to get them out. nor do i know anything else about them.. ill take a pic maybe that will help
  4. mine stopped igniting for some reason. just plugged it in yesterday and nothing. blower kicks on and kerosene is spitting out the front, but doesnt ignite. i did manually light it (lighter and carb cleaner.. yeah yeah i know not the smartest thing but i wanted try to narrow it down) and it will blow heat and run like it normally does. i thought maybe running it would help. but after i was done i unplugged it and plugged it back in and same as it did before.. blower kicks on and spits K1 out the front no igniton/ no heat. any ideas.. or remedies... if i cant fix it ill probably keep manually lighting it to get me through winter and just install a reznor next year.
  5. ive been thinking about getting a blue tooth set my self. like you i hate the way they look and swore i would never get one.. but again, like you said great for driving. and also i would love to have it when im doing some work and dont want to grab my phone ou tof my pocket.
  6. find out what both cost and let me know
  7. yeah i agree. where can i get bonded. i dont want to do this as a 40 hour a week job, but for a side job its nice for the extra cash. and i like doing it.
  8. this is true it can be done, but at minimum i would suggest green board. the moisture from the thinset or mastic alone concerns me. as well as if its behind a sink it will get some moisture. Plus tile has some weight and it makes me feel better if there is a nice piece of backer board there to support the weight. But i will do it over regular drywall, but will not be held liable.
  9. yeah i know what ya mean i had a few off spots, but the tile was probably the cheapest tile i have ever came across.. at 48 cents a sq ft. 50% of the tiles were not actually 12 x 12. but i worked with it. turned out better than i thought for materials i had to work with. as well as the condition of the house. walls where not even near being straight. and even though i pressed about putting down backer board down before installation, stating to him over and over and over that most likely the tile could crack or grout may come loose. he insisted that i lay it directly over plywood sub flooring. i said fine, but i will not be responsible for anything that happens to it. and made him sign a paper stating so. he bought so called specialty thin set used soley for plywood, but it still makes no difference. he was obviously being cheap.
  10. sure do. and ill actually be getting to my entire bathroom at some point. just have to many side projects going on to get to it yet. ill be doing the entire surround in my tub/shower along with installing brushed nickle hardware. also tile floor, and back splash behind a new vanity. i want to do all travertine, but since ill not be staying in this house for more than another 2-3 years, i cant see spending $8 a sq ft on it. anyways... i have all the necessary tools to do the job including a nice wetsaw. youll need to cutout the drywall where it will be put (atleast the actual size of where the back splash will be placed.. if yuor doing a 36" x 12" back splash youll need to remove atleast that amount of drywall) and replace it with a backer board. hardy backer is great to use. u get 1/2" will match right up with the existing drywall. you will tape it and mud and sand as you would regular drywall. then tile on walls, youll need a support to hold the bottom row of tiles. or they will slide. also special thin set is required for walls compared to floor tile. and youll want a non sanded grout since the grout line will be less than 1/4". if you want me to do everything i can give you a price qoute. which will be far cheaper than anyone youll find. if you want me to do just tile i can quote for that as well. and third option me doing everything and you helping and learning. cheaper yet. let me know we can take this to pm or phone if youd like.
  11. hell you have to do that at most bars downtown now.

  13. did some work on a guys house helping him rehab it. layed about 500 sq ft of tile.. dining room, kitchen, laundry room, and bathroom. a basic tan/beige tile with mocha grout. came out nice so far. been at it for 2 days one day last weekend and today.. gotta go back for a third day to finish up some grouting. and lay some transition strips. as well as tile a back splash for the sink in the bathroom. well here are pics, they are from my cell, so they arent perfect. http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301/hoblick/Photo_120107_001.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301/hoblick/Photo_120107_002.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301/hoblick/Photo_120107_003.jpg
