  In all honesty, I'm surprised the forum isn't busier. I know there's a million reno-crazy folks
  who want answers out there.... but how to get them here, I'm not sure. I found the place off of
  homebrew...

• Posted in thread: how level do i need to be? on 10-29-2005 at 08:35 PM
  IMHO, it's far more important that the substrate is solid than particularly flat or uniform. A
  tile setter can make up some variance with thinset, and in fact, all tilesetters do this
  routinely, to me...

• Posted in thread: How are you finding this site? on 10-26-2005 at 09:49 PM
  Unfortunately, "community" is too strong a word as of yet. I suspect that there are lots of 1
  or 2 time advice seekers here, that won't be back for repeat postings. That said, there are
  obviously some...

  I think a lot of the crowd on the gardenweb forums might be interested.

  try the kerdi-cloth from schluter, with thinset cement, and put a bit more cement in certain
  places. Then ...

  I have no experience with that. Some of the new products are miracles, and some are snake
  oil... hard to tell without about 20 years behind...

• Posted in thread: New Guy to Hardwood Floors on 10-16-2005 at 07:56 PM
  Especially with the underlays available, tile is a better and better option. It's not hard for
  the DIY crowd to do a creditable job, and it is more easily repairable than hardwood. Combined
  with in fl...

• Posted in thread: wall with 2 sliding doors on 10-16-2005 at 03:46 PM
  Very easily done - windows and doors are framed so that the hole is supported by the beam -
  that is, the studs on the side are doing all the supporting work... so if you pull out that
  door, and frame ...

  Those tubs rule. I've made a LOT of shelves to fit those tubs.

• Posted in thread: Paint-which brand is best? on 10-15-2005 at 07:42 PM
  Shinier finishes, gloss or semi-gloss, tend to be best durability wise, but show up
  imperfections quite a bit.. so lower glosses tend to be used. I agree with the others- brand is
  not so important as ...
