chit chat that day
openjoe:
Haven't done the two end walls yet. Yesterday it took me half the day to drill four holes.

slow going, huh? maybe best to avoid strict deadlines on jobs like this...i am especially challenged in estimating realistic time for projects...i always way way underestimate, which leaves me feeling rushed and frazzled. this is looking good, joe...worth the effort, im sure.

Well, it's our house, so no pressure, time-wise. I go back to my test-scoring job next Monday - I'll probably get the tile up there before then. Maybe the grout too. Tile work is a "borderline" skill of mine - just enough knowledge to be dangerous.

An addendum to the old adage, "There's no accounting for taste." - "There's no line that different tastes will not cross."

Mr. Schauss, won't you be teaching your students anything about the Battle of Agincourt, which took place in A.D. 1415?

Reminds me of our former TN governor who said he would report to work on his first day with coffee and vanilla wafers.

Yeah, I looked it up prior to asking but was cloudy on that point.

A.D. = anno domini = in the year of our Lord. By the way, that has dropped out of use by the academic elite who believe in unbelief.

When I was a child I had a dog with a long name also: Madame Florence Foster Jenkins. Named for her vocal qualities.

Trying to devise a fake meaning for that 2nd part. How about a sassafras drink that is served at Christmas time?

Yeah, sounds good. Hey, did you feel your ears burning Sunday morning? I was talking to Casey McGinty at church and we both know you but in different formats.

are they diamond bits? would it be wimpy to take your tiles to a homedepot type place (or tile place) and have them cut there?

I have only done walls once before - as opposed to floors. There is a whole nother set of mistakes to be made!

openjoe:
I can cut alright. I have one of those score-and-break tools. But I wanted the holes to be neat, so I am drilling them with concrete/tile bits. I think a diamond bit would be cost-prohibitive.
