First I have to apologize for not getting to write On the blog as much as I would like.The overwhelmingness of everyday life and pricing and then doing all of the tile jobs I have to do to make a living and get ahead is heavy. But I really want to thanks you folks out there so much for reading and commenting In such numbers. I am so amazed by the worldwide visits to the blog.I especially want to thank My web designer and web master Diana Smith Who created the web site and got me to write on it!If It wasn't for her vast knowledge SEO and HTML in the background of my site and years of hard work and devotion to my site You wouldn't be reading me now!I'm hardly a tech guy as a matter of fact I am very tech handicapped and can barely write this blog. Everything about this web site and blog was built and are maintained every day by Diana.I'm just a simple tile guy ,a Mason working with concrete and rocks man made and natural. My grammer sucks and my spelling is worse, But 35 years of tile work has given me Insites that can be easily shared.So I want to say a very special thanks To diana for putting up with My barbaric old southern boy way.
I encourage you If you need a web site or have a site you need to get out there then go to " websitedesignsbydiana,com" or let me know and I'll hook you up.
4 different comments have been posted in the last 24 hours I'm starting to get alot . So ive decided to post the new ones every couple days. here are the comments with my responses
1------ I usually do not write a comment, but after browsing through
a few of the
comments here "copper shower pan vs rubber membrane to dry in shower
pans???".- I actually do have 2 questions for you if you don't mind. Could
it be simply me or does it appear like some of the remarks appear like they are
coming from brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are posting on additional online
sites, I would like to keep up with you. Would you list of every one of all your
social networking sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter
feed?
RESPONSE There are alot of international Folks who have a hard time writing In English . And I really appreciate their efforts. Also there are alot of people who have never been on a construction job or have never even hit a nail with a hammer. Those are the people that I write this blog for the ones who really need it!Those of us who work with our hands and were born on the construction job
may think some of the questions posted here are out there. But Remember those of us in the world Have many talents and there is no way one person can know it all > There are many questions those people know the answer too That I wouldn't have a clue about. So to me there are no stupid questions
simple is easy and all questions regarding tile work will be answered here.
As far as Social network feeds I have those accounts but I am not really active on Twitter and facebook , Linked in ect. But If you want to follow this blog simply look to the left of the Blog homepage and subscribe to our free mailing list. regards Chris
2------Woah! I'm really digging the template/theme of this website. It's simple, yet
effective.
A lot of times it's very difficult to get that "perfect balance"
between superb usability and visual appearance. I must say that you've done
a awesome job with this. Additionally, the blog loads very fast
for me
on Chrome. Outstanding Blog!
RESPONSE; Thanks alot!!!Again all the credit for the visual and tech stuff regarding web site and operation Goes back to Diana I just write when I can regards chris
3-------Awesome blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers?
I'm
planning to start my own site soon but I'm a little lost on
everything.
Would you propose starting with a free platform
like Wordpress or go for a
paid option? There are so many options out there that I'm totally confused ..
Any ideas? Thanks!
RESPONSE
My web designer Diana Again knows all this stuff and all tech questions go to her websitedesignsbydiana,com . But as far as writing Goes simple and clear seems to be the best way to reach diversified readers.Pick a toppic that you REALLY know about and just share the wealth!!
4--- What do you know about the Schluter shower pan
systems? It seems superior to all other options.
RESPONSE; I know that the system requires the use of UNMODIFIED thin set which is the
lowest cost least grade available concrete adhesive and is low grade $5. Per bag
product that turns to dust several years after use. Your tile is stuck only as
good as the thinset u use to install it.And for this reason i would not use this
system in my house and expect a long term quality installation . RegardsCHRIS
Below is a swimming pool I tiled about a month ago along with photos of unfinished and finished pool
Pools are a very specialized type of tile job and require precise materials and alot of experience to get right. I recommend Using pure portland cement in both your thin set and grout to give you extra strength and durability
