oooooooooooops. we gotta bust up tile and lay concrete. the shower pan is not sloped correctly. if you look reeeeeal close at the pan pictures you can tell that it is lower than the rest of the shower in the upper left hand corner. what happened was that paul ran out of concrete and hoped all would be good. nope. so gotta fix that. we tried the shower tonight, not together mind you, and found out that the pan has a low spot.

yeah true....but it;s only 2 tiles so......

plthijinx · 03-10-2011, 01:50 PM

it was a real pita. first off i mixed the quick set with too much water so it was a pain to work with. notice in the second pic the level bubble showing slope away from the drain. after i put down the quick set and let it cure for an hour and a half or so i was able to come back in and mold a slope as seen by the bubble in the last pic. now we let it dry overnight then relay the tiles back in.

ok. today i put down the tool belt and picked up an airplane! THANK GAWD! here are some snippets from today. i met up with bobby at work and he brought his zr-1 vette! nice ride!

then engine start up....

then take off from KDWH

bobby landing at KCLL where we had an excellent lunch at Dixie Chicken

and finally my landing at KDWH. bobby flew the leg up there and i flew the leg back so we could both get stick time.

all around. it was a great day to fly.

one thing i forgot to mention about that flight was this. birds. BIG birds. after we took off from KCLL about 7 miles southeast of the airport at 2,000 ft. was a flock of turkey buzzards. about 15 to 20 of them. damn near hit at least 5 of 'em. had to do some fancy stick n rudder to avoid them. chopped the throttle to idle and went into a left hand rollover dive then recovered when we were below them by a couple hundred feet. scary and fun all at the same time. that's one of the reasons i love to fly. every flight is different. flying to me is almost as good as sex! oh, and i did tell air traffic control (aka atc) about the birds and their location because there was incoming traffic into college station including continental express.
