Not All 5gal Buckets Are Created Equal

Here's what my jobsite looked like 2 min before the HO stopped in for lunch...



I think next time I'll get a ladder.

Re: Not All 5gal Buckets Are Created Equal

Acrylic grout, everything cleaned up no problem. HO even helped me clean up

The truly sad part is there was a drywall bench sitting 8 ft. away.

I can think of about 17 ways it could have turned into a real disaster. As it stands it's just a good remodeling story.

Nope. Just ask the H/O if they would like their floors finished in white semi-gloss..

Re: Not All 5gal Buckets Are Created Equal

Bosch radios suck. Worst thing I have ever seen the company make. You could get better reception from a filling.
