Went once many years ago in Monterrey, Mexico. Still get nauseated when I think of how they tortured that animal.

That is a beauty ! A true craftsman did that.
Can’t really help you here, but if someone with the username of “Fencepimp” chimed in with a fencing recommendation, I’d take what he said very seriously.

Yes. Zep from Home Depot. There are two kinds. Get the one specifically for your circumstance, or get both. Spray it on and walk away. It’s cleaned some of the nastiest showers I’ve ever walked into with amazing results.

This. ^

Although, we did have a catahoula/blue tick dog that was awesome.
I really like the vertical tiles, wish ore people would do it, but they usually opt for the “safer” choice and go horizontal.

Sorry, didn’t realize that was a computer generated image.
When the actual tile guy comes, have him center the niche on that back wall. Didn’t want to say anything if it was already done.
Yes you do have to have a header if it’s load-bearing. If not, a simple 2x4 for nailing purposes will do. But on one that wide I’d put a header in anyway.
Table tops, molding, cabinets beams. Very desirable and very beautiful.
Yeah, that glaze ain’t coming back. Easiest/best would be to tile over it.

re: Maytag washer touch screen

Don’t know why they felt we needed touchscreens on our washing machines. Is it supposed to be easier than turning a dial?

Sorry I had nothing constructive to contribute.
Ventilation is important. Also helps to take 10 seconds to squeegee most of the water off the walls.
Zep mold and mildew remover is very good.
I don’t have one, but I’ve demoed many of them Nothing really wrong with them but they look kinda cheap, and some had yellowed over time.
Have to put eyeballs on the actual job, but I would venture to say you can get that done for about half that quote. Real tiles, real tile guy. Probably 5 day job, less if you do the demo yourself.

re: Cub Cadet mowers any good?

One of my worst purchases ever.
My neighbor across the road had a base station that had an area that allowed the dog to roam. If he breached the perimeter it would shock and keep shocking until he got back inside the circle. His dog came to greet me one day and started screaming and kept screaming until I got to him and rushed him back. I felt terrible about it, but I don’t think he ever left again.

Note : do not forget to turn his collar off before loading him in the truck.

Not necessarily. Could be you just were hitting your marks with regularity.
They change the patterns regularly. The same spots may not work for you next time. The pros know how to read the oil by the way the ball breaks, and adjust accordingly.
Also, it’s possible the lanes at the student union may have been oiled in a generous pattern that day. Who knows. I personally can’t read the oil for shite. I just try to find the best place to let it go.
