Ok, anyone want to finish laying the 16x16 tile throughout the house and the grouting for me?

I forgot just how much of a pain 12x12 tile is on the body even when your in the best of health and this 16x16 is kicking my butt!

Though I did get a new wet saw, 850rpm Heavy Duty Milwalkie drill for mixing thinset and a large Score Cutter out of the deal. Willing to share the spoils on the tool end

sheesh, eating 4 - 6 perk's to make it through the day has my stomach feeling like a slimy sponage

hey.... my sympathies to you IP.. I did a 4 year apprenticeship with my dad when I was a lot younger. The moment I finished the apprenticeship I quit the job, and never returned to it. My dad's done it for more than 45 years, and still going. (a lot slower these days though) He's suffering all sorts of arthritic problems as a result of all that mixing & bending.
Good luck with it, and I hope it turns out nice for you.

I have NO idea of what your talking about.

I am not a very good handyman. I like the tools though.

Power tools rock hard!

JTB, what about 'using' the tools?

use them for what?

I like making models. I used to hate doing that and always waited for the last minute in school, but now I LOVE IT!!!

Nothing like having your idea come to life.... in small scale.

Lol...I installed 'Floorcoverings' for around 13 years...Definitely a 'young' mans job

I always liked the 16's and 18's, covered an area a lot quicker

yeah, but with lower back messed up it sucks leaning out and such with them. Also grouting

just finished up and my hand is full of blisters, haven't been able to do anything like that in a while, but the percesetts help, though make my stomach flop around and otherwise try to climb out my mouth for a look around... ugh...
