Ah my friend, you weren't there. I can say, without issue, there is NO problem with Molly. Can't say how it translates via photo, but in person, there's nothing wrong with her.

That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.



...and when I did the test it was 16%.

A couple of pitchers of beer at Hooters has a way of skewing ones perspective on beauty .

Re: DIY Trainwreck


Backers aren't meant to be installed with construction adhesive--they should be set in thinset. The purpose isn't to glue it down, but to ensure there are no pockets of air or voids. It fills any imperfections in the floor and prevents any spot deflections that could cause a failure in the tile or grout.

They really need to hire a technical advisor for this show... This crap is ridiculous.
At the end, this guy says "I've tiled the last two days, probably 8-10 hours a day, my back hurts, my hands hurt, my knees....I think it was worth it, it will look nice. And I understand I saved a couple thousand dollars"

OK, you tile guys make way too much money. 2-8 hour days and you make a couple thousand dollars? Damn, and you guys are pros, you're much faster so you probably make 3 or 4 thousand dollars in 2 days time huh?

Goober...is too kind for that scumbag.

I don't know why it seems everytime I turn on the TV, that his face is plastered all over it, plugging his horrible show.

Sorry, Chris, didn't mean to hijack your thread, but out of all the DIY shows, I think that guy is the absolute WORST.
