[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Smonster, no more slicing your body parts, ya hear? If your are going to cause injuries on the job, aim for the co-irker.
Seconded.
omnis, be careful on those tiles, they get very slippery when wet and make crutches tricky, ime. They look like they should be fairly easy to match.
I appreciate the wishes for my safety, but cuts and bruises and splinters are pretty much unavoidable. I am going to wear my gloves more, but there are times where they are more of a hazard or just eff up fine motor control too much.
Dear coworkers; jamming old large dimension lumber through the table saw will frak up the blade and trip the breaker repeatedly. I've discussed this with one of you before. Haste makes waste, yo.
Signed, not the brute squad
Anyone have thoughts on big ceramic tiles?
1. Almost all tile is slippery when wet, and larger tiles are more slippery.
2. Everything you drop will break.
3. Grout gets stained.
The kitchen in my old apartment had ceramic tiles, and I hated it. The floor had no give at all, so standing on it for more than a few minutes would always make my back ache. Also, anything that I dropped would break. I ended up getting some of those interlocking foam squares that they sell for baby rooms, and it was so much better. (Most of the interlocking foam squares are in bright primary colors, with letter or number cutouts. I searched for a little while, and found a set in pink and brown, where the cutouts were just circles.)
As you may have gathered, omnis, Hil and I would be more likely to tell you to take out the tile you have than to add more.
eta: And I notice you have tile counter tops, too. All your dishes are in danger.
I'm not a big fan of the accent wall, but the poor fireplace is lost. That corner really needs a contrasting color.
All your dishes are in danger.
(okay that made me laugh). I just pictured dishes screaming.
Omnis, what they said about the slippery tiles. Remember that concussion I got a couple of months back? Yeah, big ol' tiles, and not all that much moisture. Laminate wood is much less slippery, fwiw.
I just pictured dishes screaming.
As well they should.
Linoleum! Or as it's called now, "marmoleum".
