    Longevity of tile with HEAVY use?

    Um, nothing will hold up to welding slag. I mean tile won't blow up, but you will probably leave burn marks on it. If you do a brown / black slate type of porcelain, I bet it will hit it mostly. But, a welding blanket is not that hard to throw down.

    The other costs of a porcelain/ceramic tile floor

    I'm with Jack here. I used the cheapest, most basic thinset I could get from my supplier for a couple of bucks a bag. My installation was also *********, as I did a mud job, so my costs were automatically greater than most on here. Yea, there are some Pros here that lay tile for a living, and...

    Jumped into the Festool world

    I do this all the time. I build inside the location usually during Reno. Whole kitchens closets the works. The dust collection is insane. I use a regular rigid 5 gal though. Didnt feel the vac was worth it. How about those cases boys? I love the storage they come with. So elegant. Was afraid...

    Battery drills that don't stand upright (don't sit on battery).

    I don't know, I have a bench all the time. Sometimes its my miter saw bench, sometimes its the table saw, or the out-feed table. I don't exactly work on my knees if you know what I'm saying. Knock a loaded drill off a bench a few times, the results are worse then when you drop if from hip...

    Battery drills that don't stand upright (don't sit on battery).

    Thanks all. On a site, if I see any of my guys standing drills or impacts up, I kick them in the shins. Seriously. I've been stabbed by walking past a 8" long spade bit. I've kicked over, or dropped **** on them. Broken or bent countless drivers and bits. Nothing will piss you off more than...

    I have the domino, sander, planer, saw with all 3 rails. The saw never leaves my sight, and no one can touch it. The sander is pure awsome as the dust extraction works like no other. Domino, yea takes buiscuits to another level. Welcome to the expensive side. It's like crack.

    Battery drills that don't stand upright (don't sit on battery).

    You should always lay drills on the side. It is good practice, trust me. Less chance of tip over, especially when you have a 3/16 drill bit in there that can snap, when you knock it over. A knock over can sometimes send the tool into the abyss. Most tools now have belt hooks, so learn to take...

    When to install porcelain tile?

    And if a tile cracks, what you think you need to tear out the floor. No you take a damn hammer and chisel, remove said tile, and set new one in. Not like you need to buy an epoxy kit or something, and blend and sand and mix. That is, if you do manage to break a tile. I for one use my garage...
