Don't judge, but I tried one of those tacos a couple weeks back on a midnight Taco Bell run...and it really wasn't half bad.  Not spicy or great, mind you, but not bad either.
 
Then again, I was at a punk house party pounding PBR just before that.  So my taste buds probably weren't working like normal. 
 
Dang, this job we're on has the porta-potty on the edge of a cliff.
 
Don't lean back. :rofl:

This house we're working on is about 150 yards from where the Twisp River fire started in 2015. And about 100 feet from where 3 of our firefighters lost their lives.

Sorry I haven't been around here, and I DID NOT QUIT! lol

I have all of a sudden been obsessed with finding my Birth Family.

Being born in Wyoming, it's impossible to get my birth records. Wyoming's adoption laws are so fucked up, They won't allow an adopted child possession of their birth records. Other states have relaxed their "Closed Adoption" laws like Washington, $400 bucks and they will hand over everything they have on you. Anyway, I am having to go about it in different ways.

Adoption Registry websites, Ancestry.com, are pretty consuming of my time. I submitted my DNA test to Ancestry.com 2 years ago and their wasn't much there to see. Since then, more people have submitted theirs and I have just recently been in contact with 2, 2nd cousins. One of which is 72 years old, lives in Nebraska, and swears her cousin is my Birth Mother. She is going to be contacting her in the next few days and will see if she is receptive. I will only believe a DNA test so even if she submits one, it will probably be another 2 month wait. What a fucken trip.

I sure miss all of you and will try to pop in more often.

Any news?
 
Holy shit! If we wait for my birthfamily to show up before more hhwiskey and tile work, we'll never have any fun!

Thanks TC1010! I don't really have any recent tile photos, but I will post some when I get some. I don't take pics of all my work, most of it is boring to me. Not the work, the looking at pictures of said work, later. lol
 
Thanks TC! It really is pretty technical, but it looks so easy when it's all done. LOL Not only the substrate and all that but if the layout is wrong, it looks awful!
 
So, you asked for it, you got it. Here's some tile pics. (then we move on to hhwiskey LOL)
 
Here is a curbless shower that we remodeled for some elderly folks. The subfloor under the shower pan had to be lowered by 2-¾" to accommodate the mud pan. There is so much shit happening at this seam, you wouldn't believe it. Mortar, Wire mesh, heat cables, 40 mil vinyl pan liner, water proofing, then tile and grout. but look at the result, perfect transition!

These are "Pads inlaid in a hand hewn wood floor, one in front of each door (3) and one under the wood stove.

Those porcelain bathtub farm sinks are the MF'ing bane of my existence ...
 
Thanks TC! That wood was beautiful.
 
Yeah Grant, try tiling them. It's and underlayment nightmare! At least you don't have that issue. Or FLATNESS. grrrrrr
Those sinks LOOK flat but seldom are. I've had them up to ⅛" out of diagonal flatness. Like tweeted. remember what we used to do to cassette tapes? yeah, that. 
 
Damm THP, If you knew how many laughs that hexagon mosaic f**k up has got on my tile forum. LOLOL It's pretty much the "floating Habanero in Dr. Pepper" over there. :rofl: :rofl:
