Thanks guys. We don't know wtf is going on. I am losing faith in our medical system. Doctors don't take the time to diagnose and treat....just give a pill and send home. We are waiting on blood, urine and poo tests. At least UofM is trying to figure it out for us.

lol I am self employed and set tile all day everyday.. your fireplace turned out good though man!

I'm waiting on one of your kind right now to finish so I can get final and inspection:D. That shower turned out nice....I'm kinda partial to the different size bands. Breaks things up.

Sitting in a hospital waiting room right now while our daughter is being seen and having tests run.

Best wishes Tom....hope everything turns out ok

Lol yeah I get a lot of shit about my job. Even my wife gives me shit about being on my knees all day. Happy bday btw!


Well I make caulk for a living so I know how it goes lmao. I manage and run Spectrum Mfg Corp. we make "Spectrum's siliconized acrylic latex caulk" that matches all the major grout Mfg and also grout stains. It's a family business of ours (as bad as that sounds lmao). My mom use to answer the phones as "spectrum caulk" way back in the early years. After a year of giggles on the other side after answering, we no longer answer that way :D

That's pretty cool man I just checked the website out! I typically use all mapei and schluter products. Used to be a big tec guy till schluter would no longer warranty their products if tec thinsets were used.

That's interesting. Don't see why the thinset would affect anything for warranty. We've been hearing/seeing some quality issues with Mapei grout colors. For one, their chip kit and chart don't match each other worth a damn and the grout colors are somewhere between the two. 95% of the people never notice the difference, it's that 5% that really make it known lol. Customs and Tec are by far much more consistent and match where they are suppose to

I did not know your family's business. Pretty cool.

Thanks bud. She's been admitted so we're staying overnight, at least. 3 emergency room visits in 3 hospitals over 3 days without any solutions posited will give you a bad opinion, but u of m is taking this seriously, thank goodness. It's an intestinal issue, and came on suddenly which is why we're here and so concerned.

You have a "wide spectrum" of interests, eh?

UofM found Han's problem, and are treating her as I type. We'll be here for a couple/three days or more, depending on how she responds, but thank god. Roni and I are very grateful to the staff here and obviously relieved. Thanks for the good wishes, guys.

BTW, I found I have no idea how to moderate using a phone. :hehe:
