How about wax on my glasses?!
I have never ridden a mower, but I wondered why he didn't just go the other way.
Wouldn't the chute still get in the way somewhat if you lift it?
I woke up early to see a new teleclient, but they didn't connect or respond to my text or e-mail.
I guess that I just work on 5 hours of sleep today.

When I did ceramic wax on the car, I came in to shower. Thought...if it works on cars it should work on shower doors. Yes, it does. Still going strong about 6 months later.

Does it reduce soap scum?

We squeegee it off often and it's still clear with no soap scum. Works on car windshields, too.

Are you good using mush board underlayment instead of plywood?

Neither I nor DuckDuckGo know what that is. I will use whatever is in the sheet material rack at BRING. It could be plywood, OSB or chipboard.

I need to get one of hose shower squeegees. I bought a Rain-X squeegee form O'Reilly's and that thing is garbage. The rubber is too short.
I finished 3 progress reports for my second agency and 12 for my first.
Ten.
It told me to write reports for clients I haven't seen yet.
There wasn't anything new this quarter and I was able to pull up my data, average it, and fill in the reports quickly.
I thought "Yes! It is finally time to work on my Accord!"
My brother asked to go to Cal Ranch.
I am positive this is the fastest that I ever wrote progress reports and I have definitely needed to write fewer before.

I can't be bothered to squeegee shower doors. I'll do it at other houses, but I will not do clear glass on a door at home. The last thing I need is more maintenance items.

Sorry, thought everyone that did framing knew that mush meant OSB. CHIPBOARD isn't waterproof

I'm a big fan of stranded bamboo flooring and tile.
We replaced all the flooring in our house in Alabama. The Kitchen, Dining, Bathrooms and Washer/Dryer area was a thick commercial tile. That turned out really good and we had no problem with the grout staining - but I also sealed it which many "professional" installers do not do. The Living Room, Hall, and Entry way were stranded bamboo that a professional did. That turned out really well too and was glued down. In our bedrooms I did cork flooring myself. It was just a simple floating floor that I had no issues with. Everything held up fine for years including our dog's nails.
For our house in Oregon I ripped up the carpet and new "premium vinyl plank" flooring and put down the same stranded bamboo I used in the Alabama house. Big mistake. The instructions said my floor was flat enough to do floating with a felt like sheet under it but even 7 years later it still creaks when the weather changes and the floating planks drift and show gaps around the baseboards that I have to fix. On a wooden subfloor I won't do anything except nail down again. That said it has been durable - no scratches. The bathroom just got "Premium" vinyl plank that looks like tile (complete with actual 3D fake grout lines). It looks OK now but I'm not sure it last like the bamboo or real tile.
If I lived in an area with a lot of concrete construction I wouldn't hesitate to go full tile flooring all through the house like I've seen in some areas of Europe and Latin America. Looks good and lasts basically forever.

Interesting.
What would you do with an uneven floor?
