****! :(

I was planning on putting my nearly done garage in the gallery, but wanted to know what the general policy / etiquette is for reserving the first 3 or 4 comments in the thread for spill over if I happen to get wordy. Also... what's the general consensus on free image hosting. I usually use...

Did not know this. Thanks!!!

Sounds like I'm worrying about **** that doesn't matter.

I finally started cutting the tile I'm laying down. I wanted to stay about 1/8" from the wall, but find that the mortar layer on the stem wall is so irregular that making bigger gaps will leave me with the working room I need without butchering the edge of the tile with a grinder. so...

Yeah... I figure most of them are DIY'rs who have done a grout job or 2.

Ok... I was literally just getting ready to order this grout from Lowes when, out of curiosity, I checked the reviews on the website. HOLY ****! I want the best for my floor, but I might have to pass on this stuff. It sounds like it's for Professionals only. Obviously there's going to be a...

Dakota, thanks so much for the detailed response (and the warnings). I guess I have a decision to make. I either continue grinding for several days the way home depot says I have to or just scuff and use the product you've linked. I'd much prefer the ideally prepped surface, I just hadn't...

I prepped the edges and corners with an angle grinder and a 4 1/2 inch diamawheel, dry. It took quite a few feet before I got into the rhythm of how to work with this wheel, but by the end I was getting down to the concrete surface without much fuss and with about 3 hours total for your standard...

Thanks for the feedback. I have hi-eeeyy-eye hopes ♪♫
