One For The CTile Experts

Now THAT'S an accurate statement.
But he doesn't have to go over there, the correct solution was given here.

And it has nothing to do with how much money the client has to spend, it has to do with doing the job properly, not putting a "band aid" on on it, collect the money and leave the client looking for another solution to the same problem in a couple years.

I try to protect my customers by educating them on what the proper fix would be, and why it must be done in a particular way. Explain all the options to them, and let them make the decision.

If the customer decides to take a short cut they can use someone else.

There is a right way and a wrong way to do things, not much in between.

That's alright Bill, - - it occured to me after you asked that that might be what you were thinking, - - as I really (for some strange reason) never quite got the chance to explain it, - - and am not about to now.

The shame about (other people) ankle-biting, - - is that all the other people on site (and lurkers, too) don't get to hear ALL the options, - - and then make their own choices.

Not in any way denying what you're saying is true, - - I'm simply answering the question as it was put forth.

There is a 'fix' for this very problem, - - because not everyone knows it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Of course, - - as is the case in any construction-related problem, - - ripping it out and starting over would always be the easier way, - - but then again, - - if 'that' is an option, - - then there was never a 'problem' to begin with, now was there??

I'd suggest if you want to try your hand at answering questions that are clearly out of your (little) league, - - you come up with a better BS line than "Oh yeah, yeah, I've used it so many times I didn't even know what it was".

Maybe if you'd read-before-you-react a little more, - - you'd be able to steer clear of these 'squabbles', - - or in your case, - - 'squibbles'.

I think your low-brain-cell-count is 'self-leveling'.
