If you're referring to me, I looked at the prices of the products that came up the most. Both of the products I compared did not say "sanded". Not sure what I'm lying about

Depends on the job and if you have a badass mixer. I mean.. it's fucking grout. If it's a small job, mustard on the beat yo (read mix it in a bucket ho)! If it's a big job, unless you have a badass mixer, buy premade.

I probably put 10 hours into getting that lawnmower back in perfect shape, changed plug, oil, new gas, cleaned carb bowl and needle bolt, sharpened blade, painted deck rust with por15 and then rustoleum sunrise red (read that it matched perfectly), new drive wheel, new belt, new primer bulb, new wheels, new grips...

Go to fire that bitch up...nothing. Prime prime prime...nothing.

I felt like crying...she started fine before I touched it. I walk away...take out plug to let the gas evaporate in case I flooded...the brand new spark plug electrode was bent down and touching the base.

I dig up the trash, get old plug, pop it in...

NOTHING.

Oh wait, forgot to put the plug wire back on...
first pull...
FK yes...
and the drivetrain...a dream, SUPER fast, I have to walk briskly to keep up!


Success!!!!

Not in a million fucking years would I go with a pre-mix grout. There's too great an opportunity for striation of the pigments and the viscosity is simply too inconsistent due to the thixotropic nature of the material. I wouldn't care if it's a 4sqft area...there's not a snowball's chance in hell I would touch the stuff.

I never did anything else but mix my own grout. It's only "difficult" the first time around.

There are several decent premixes out there. It's a base, dust or add water as needed to get the right consistency.

I had no issues with the premix, color or consistency and so far, the tiles haven't fallen off the wall!

Anyway, happy Monday, everyone. Finally got the shed done over the weekend, nice to have extra room in the garage! Now I can look into a rolling tool box!

Absolutely.
They sampled that line for a newer song, he's dubbed in...that's why it was prevalent.

I'm not sold on a convertible mustang, but I wouldn't mind a S2000. Like I said, nice to have for vacation/summer. We don't get much of that here but my dad has a company truck he drives anyway.

That's good. I'd have to try a S2K, but I'm scared I'll enjoy it too much and want to buy one.
