Id starve to death if I had to do tile work for a living. Im a perfectionist on that kinda stuff and entirely too slow at it. Kudos toyou for that!


Today I stomped all up & down a landfill in 95* high humidty heat all while walking on black plastic. Yeah, ol fat boy got all he could stand today! State inspection was good though, so that was good!

Thanks man! It's pretty much all I have done, I learned from somebody good too. I am 21 years old now running my own business. Tile is a trade that once you can do good work and are confident you can go out and make the big bucks on your own. Electricians and plumbers need so many hours and tests before they can do it. It just takes patience and being able to read a tape measure good lol.

I've supervised (Superintendent) a number of large ground up projects from dirt lot to completion and high end tenant improvement Dr's offices, ya oughta supervise some of the yuks I've seen on completion of a project, well, you're not coming back, call their boss to send someone who does give a "close enough....."

The excuses I have heard and the blame another trade I should have wrote a book, have about 30 years of them from working in the trades as a finish carpenter, cabinet builder to supervising the last 15 years....

I know exactly how it works I'm in the industry.

I was more so referring to that style of outlet.

That backsplash is awesome though, nice work!

I know..
So back to MY field... the P2 brake controller been going nuts whether its "connected" or not... according to tekshnoa(sp) the BC has a diagnosis via ohms. Each magnetic has ~4ohms..it drops below a certain level it reads no trailer connected...

do the following quick tests running the boost to 3 and wheel at max, the manually activate the brakes amd tape the lever....check voltage. 13.8v, inductive Amp test 2.8-3.0a and that's bad.. should be 12-16amps for 4 electric brakes.
Drag trailer tires two barely drag while other two roll freely... smh
Wish boss listened when i told him to get EoH brakes...
