I was @ both HD and Lowe's today. Didn't buy a thing. I bought a used $20 Sony receiver on Marketplace....very unexciting all around.

Replaced dishwasher and fridge water lines and then found this....0 for 3

Wife said her dad did the tile in the early 80's. So I have no idea what the composition is. Only luck I'm having is by sharpening the big chisel and knocking high spots off. I keep finding Builders Square tags in the thinset.....LOL

Yuck on that bathroom. 3 hours to finish up with the tile. Now onto the thinset.....I'll give it a shot. The long handled scraper was an absolute waste of money. I got maybe 10 tiles off with it. The short Irwin chisel helped with some of the edge pieces that had bad angles. Wife's dad did...

Nice. I'll check it when I go for another scraper today. I'm over 1/2 way done. A good 5 hours of work the hard way,

Huh?

TNT was always a plan. It's an awful, small, outdated kitchen. New cabinets/countertops are in the plans at some point. She wants a floor first and foremost. Thanks for pointing out the under the counter subfloor.....duh on my part. By the way, it is plywood because part of it is sticking to...

Half way done. Probably end up just prying the old plywood up because there is 1/8 difference in the dining room and kitchen floors.

Good to know. I took out (3) probably 5-gallon bags so far. Trash comes tomorrow so I'll stop now. Some of the plywood is pulling up too....in small spots. Guess the thin set did its job.

Wife has been begging for a new kitchen for years. Told me I needed to at least get her a floor before I go back to work. Going to have vinyl planking laid in the kitchen and dining room. So here I am. Probably why I avoided it for so long

Ok. Thanks.

having a helluva time getting this stuff up. Went out and bought the scraper and a different chisel. It's probably just going to be a bear no matter what. Scraper worked great by the sink area. Took two rows right up. Other ones are being stubborn and just chipping apart.

I have the ones from Costco and lone one from BJs. Forget the brand but the one from BJs is garbage. Doesn't power all the way up and flickers??

I called them and emailed them for the last time 11/19. I said that I was putting the tanks back outside and that I wasn't liable or responsible for them. Also that I was done accommodating them. That was 9 AM. Just before noon, my sends me a picture of an Amerigas truck driving on the same road...

They have to "hand" dig because there is a cistern underneath the deck. It's either 2 or 3 feet off of the back of the house. I believe 25,000 gallon.
