Mosaic Glass Tile and Cupped Tile
Submitted by DFC on Sun, 2009-12-13 20:41.
We just brought in a new mosaic glass tile from Spain. It's a fantastic line and even has one color that glows in the dark. This is great for kid's bathrooms as a nite-lite.
One of our more poplular options is ceramic tile that looks like hardwood. This tile will range in size from 3" to 5" wide and from 13" to 24" in length. It's a great product, but it also has a downside. Due to the tile being fired at high temp's, the body of the retangle will cup ever-so-slightly. This can happen on the ends, or sides. This cupping makes installation very tricky since we want the tile to lay as flat as possible. We must use a very thick mortar and larger notched trowel size so we can apply as much mortar on the floor as posibble to compensate for the cupping of the tile. Even then, there is always some areas that can't be helped. In short, tile is a kiln-fired product and will never be exactly square, or exactly flat. An installer can take steps to eleviate problem areas, but sometimes it is just what it is, pottery that goes on the floor.

Bad Drywall
Submitted by DFC on Tue, 2009-11-24 00:28.
Have you heard about all the bad drywall being sold these days. The drywall is emitting sulphur gases and is eroding pipes, electical cords, and causing health issues. Drywall is a gypsum based product and gypsum is a mineral. Is the gypsum being mined contaminated? Or could it be that, to lessen manuafacturing costs, manufacturers are adding some kind of cheap "filler" to the product? What ever the cause, it diffinitely needs to be addressed.

Political Correctness and Social Acceptance
Submitted by DFC on Wed, 2009-11-11 02:49.
I was looking at a magazine article showing a guy getting ready to use a drill and I couldn't help notice that the guy didn't have on safety glasses. I caught myself thinking that some ad agency screwed up. How could they let this happen? It's funny how things get embedded into our normal perception of right and wrong these days. Just like that Sesame Street is 40 years old and I heard that The Grouch used to smoke a pipe on the show. I don't remember that, but people would go crazy today if that happened.
