This knife really surprised me.
I was convinced I'd have a ho-hum feeling about it.
My Master Bath Remodel
On Saturday I started to remodel my own master bathroom.
I ripped out the old ceramic tile corner shower over the weekend.
Today I'm installing the American Standard faucet and the shower base.
Today's Tip is about the shower base.
Frequently rookie DIYrs and bad contractors install the acrylic base units WRONG.
The instructions that come with most acrylic tubs and showers - not all of them! - clearly show that the units must be installed in a wet bed of a solid compound that will FILL THE VOID SPACE under the acrylic.
If you skip this important step, the bottom will flex and oil can when you stand in the shower. Eventually the bottom will crack and
leak.
I happen to like to use dry-setting joint compound for this job. USG has one that sets up in 90 minutes and that's plenty of time to mix the material with water, set the base and have the material squish around under the unit filling all the
void spaces.
Are you thinking of remodeling your bathroom? How would you like to get FREE & FAST BIDS from local

Roofing Ripoff Paperback
Book
I believe I'm about two weeks away from having my Roofing Ripoff book ready as a paperback.
WOO HOO!
It's going to be GORGEOUS. Sheridan Stancliff is a professional book designer that's working on this aspect of my book.
She's doing an amazing job on the interior of the book.
Mary Beth Wilker, the wife of my close friend Nick Motz, did the front and back cover. Mary Beth is also a close friend too!
Over the past two weeks the sales of the PDF and Kindle versions have been STRONG. CLICK HERE to order one of these versions
NOW.
Less than two weeks ago I shared a conversation I had with my wife Kathy and she asked me if I was happy with the sales of the book in the first 36 hours.
My response was, "Not really." Just because I wasn't happy didn't mean it
wasn't selling well!!!
The number of sales required to make me happy may be much larger than what would make some other publisher happy. Get it? Insert smiley face.
You may have contacted me with great feedback. I received COUNTLESS emails about what I could do to
boost sales of the book.
Guess what the common message was in each and every suggestion? I was taken aback.
"Tim, reading an entire book is HARD."
You may
have been one that asked for a condensed version because you don't want to slog through my long-winded adventure.
It's too expensive to offer this condensed version in a paperback, so I'm only going to offer it as a PDF file you can download.
You may have emailed me saying you have NO INTEREST IN THE BOOK and
you just want me to cut to the chase and tell you HOW TO SAVE your asphalt shingle roof.
Yes, I made a discovery how you can extend the life of your asphalt shingle roof by decades. It works for any new asphalt roof or one that's showing no curling or granule
loss.
I'm going to do that too, but not just yet. Hang in there.
