Scotch Brite pad is a great way to go. I would stay away from steel wool unless your doing an acid antique finish. I never tack cloth in between coats a finish guy taught me to leave the milky film on and the poly will melt it back in making a beautiful finish. Also I never use more than 400 grit paper on my finish.

When you mix Custom grout let it sit for about 10 minutes and then re-mix you will notice that it will be stiffined up quite a bit but you re-mix it re activates the polymers in the grout making it more plyable to spread and clean. You should not need any additional water for re-mixing. During clean up let the grout haze a little bit it will seem dry but a good clean sponge and bucket of water will reactivate the product for a nice finished product. If you begin cleaning the tile when the grout is to wet it will wash the grout lines out in a cupping fashion. It's real easy or I wouldn't have been able to learn it and I fed my family for many years as a tile setter.

The bag should say that it is Custom, Mapei, Laticrete, Flextile something of that sort. If you bought at Home Depot its Custom. Lowes Carries Mapei.

Grout about 100 feet mabey a little more at a time. Pack it real good with the float then let it begin to haze over which will depend on humidity levels and temperature. When it begins to haze over work the grout lines in a gentle circular motion until the lines look good. At this point your tile will still be dirty rinse your sponge well and begin pulling it toward you to pull the residuals up. After it hazes over again buff with a clean dry towel. If you can let me know what kind of grout your using I can give you some more tips. I was a tile setter for the better part of 20 years.

This is a big project your looking at attempting. I was a builder for 20 years and would be willing to help out if you wan't to send me a pm I will give you my phone number there it would take me forever to cover the information going through my head if I had to type it all out.

After my wife veering off the road last year to miss a deer the snow bank wasn't so soft and caused damage to the tune of $3000.00. Best part she was stuck and had to call for a tow truck to get her out in the mean time State Patrol showed up and asked her what happened she told them a deer jumped out in front of her he gave her a ticket for driving to fast for conditions because she has had her job for 11 years and knows there are alot of deer on the road so she should have been prepared icy roads or not. I say all that to say because of Mr. Trooper are insurance did not cover but if she would have hit the deer they would have. Next time sorry Bambi your going down.

Hey Preacherman those are tough things to work through. The way our church has set things up is that our pastor attends functions because he wants to in other words if something falls apart it isn't on his shoulders in any way we also have a mens ministry team of four men that run it so we have flexability for the unforseen. "I heard a story one sunday morning about a man who went to the local church demanding to see the pastor. He was told the pastor was just leaving for the day he would need to make an appointment. Needless to say he was angry, right then the pastor steps out of his office to leave for the day when the man tells him about the help he needs to fix all his family problems. The pastor calmly said he was heading to his son's ball game but could see him tomorrow to discuss it and left." I'll be praying for you that don't become over loaded with extra things.

that is hilarious

Bring it on I'm ready

Sorry above I made it sound like my wife supports Obama I meant Oprah supporting Obama

I have mentioned very delicatley to my wife about her support of Obama and my discomfort with it but I'm sending her this so she can read it for herself. My wife likes Oprah alot and always counter's back about all the good things she does, this troubles me for many reasons but mainly because were not getting into heaven because of our actions. Were faith based believers. Thank you for the info.

Church was never cancelled when I was a kid but they cancelled about two months ago. Granted we got hit pretty hard sure was alot of us there. I told my brother who is the Senior Pastor that I had driven all the way in and only one other couple lives further out than my wife and I and they were there also. I sure wouldn't want someone to get hurt trying to make it to church either.

Those look nice I have gone up twice now but the snow is still to deep I think. I keep thinking I might get lucky though.

Agree with what was said above. I have to great spots north of town I also make myself available to pull sprinkler line, buck bails, shoot coyotes and whatever else they want.

Sorry I'm so late to this one but I can see from leo stand point as well as others. However Vermont hunter said my first thought it isn't practical. My brother with the Sherrif's office showed me that gun a couple weeks ago I told him the same thing he still wants one to each his own.

Like a train wreck

I must have issues I don't know who your talking about

Dropped my Grandparents off at Spokane International to go back east for a ship reunion and to recieve a Medal for heroic actions during WWII. Got home and turned on the TV while fixin breakfast then got the call Granny and Grandpa were stuck in Seattle we had a road trip that day.

I wouldn't do it. My niece couldn't get a job making sandwich's at subway because her face was all pierced up wierd looking. You might have a job now but chances are you won't meet your next employer looking that way. "It's not what you know it's who you know".

My dad just inherited an Iver Johnson two weeks ago from his uncle and asked me what it was worth hated to tell him about $60.00 at best it is a .38 and in pretty ruff shape but interesting history if you google it.

I used a .357 for a long time but I switched to a .44 mag this year due to the increase in bears in my area it is a struggle within because the .357 is such a great round but after my results of this years hunting season my .44 mag will be making the trip with me from now on.
