For a good reason too. Years ago when I lived in Vancouver, I pulled into a full serve gas station and asked for a fill up. The guy put the nozzle into my tank and walked away to take care of someone else. You guessed it, it fell out and gas spewed all over the ground. Don't know how much gas was lost, but the worst part about it, the station tried to charge me for it. :no: Talk about clowns.
So you all have to suffer for a couple of idiots? That's usually the case with government regulations eh? ;)
 
Not sure what speakers are installed. Pretty slick rig though.

That bench will see a lot of action!

That job is a bachelor pad and it is over the top. The LED lighting and glass package I bet was in the $85,000 easy for the place.

The spiral stair case will have side lit glass treads.

The outdoor hot tub has a waterfall edge (LED)

The top floor is like a night club.

Way cool.

The speakers are made by Kohler.

Was looking for pictures for my Build Ex session and found a close up.

I had them removed and we installed Noble Seal TS across the opening. Later (next day) we cut out the Noble so the speaker housing had a slight compression fit.

I believe the installer used a silicone as well or a gasket of sorts. I was not there when these got installed.

Here's a small corner shower we just finished the Zephyrhills, FL.
the shower is about 12 years old and was totally rotted and moldy.

Kerdi waterproofing, 9x18 Panaria tile, pre-fab niche & bench, 1x2 marble brick mosaic accent.











 
Not directly related, but don't know where to post..window section does not have "what you working on?" thing
Before and after.
Changing 3 of these 3'x 5' Fiberglass casement windows, one 2'x 3' casement and one 5'x 6' picture window.
I have changed 5 exterior doors, with interior and exterior casing etc. about 2 months ago.

I've discovered Dap Foam, water clean up, great stuff, much easier to use, tool than yellow foam.:clap:

Tomorrow, I gotta marry two windows to each, making them "one".
WOOOWWW!! At #908 in this tread, I posted some window work I did in Sept.-before this tread became "Tile Project You Are Working On".Maybe that post was the reason why title of this tread changed. Anyway,yesterday, I received a call and e mail from DAP Marketing Dept, that I won the contest they had among other 3 people!!:clap::clap:!First I thought it was a joke or scam,,,,I filled the forms they asked and the check is on its way!!! Hurray!!!! $2500....yeah twentyfive hundred...:laughing: THANKS DAP!!
I was keep using it rather than yellow foam..DAP is my #1 supplier now on....
This is my second earning followed by a $250 Amazon Gift Card by CT last year..I think I was lucky when I was young, then dried out...now older I get my luck is coming back :laughing:
 
Astor, rounding that radius with that cap was interesting to see. Going to have to think about that one for a while to see if there'd be a different way of doing it. Later though as right now framing/ducting is still stuck in my brain.

I said thanks and while he watched I banged it up with a hammer.
JW, he wanted to see if your hammer actually worked. ;)
 
Prolly common--"Sure I am a tile setter and can do it [except for niches]".
Ran across that about 685 times.
Actually, you don't see what he had done. The niches were not done when I got there. He had installed half of the glass tiles crooked and they were covered in glue. I had to rip them off the cbu which did not fare well. Then I had to parge the wall and start it over. The contractor and designer were so happy with the result, they told me I would do all their work from now on. :clap:
