OT - Who says you cant cut circles in tile

[DaCan23]

Finally got around to using my harbor frieght tile table wet saw... it kicks mucho butt. Was able to cut circles for the toilet mount with some careful saw tickery. Due to daylight was not able to finish all cuts, have 4 minor tiny triangles left and the piece by the heater I broke when cleanin the special cut w/ snippers.

Hi,

Those valves are nothing but trouble. Replace that toilet tank shut-off valve with the new style quarter-turn ball valves. You will be glad you did. Now's the time.

Regards,

Ya I was gonna do all the valves as they are gross and coated w/ paint, but was gonna use the same type. I'll have to check out the type your refering too. Thanks

Cool. Where in the car, exactly, are you mounting the toilet?

Now that is funny!

Now that is funny!

Seemed like a reasonable question to me. I've just been using the glove box.

Winfred,
Did you work at getting the tv at a moment that a guy with a gun was on or is the tv always on to shows that feature guys with guns? To our Aussie members, I swear this country is not as gun toting violent as you would think.
Your kitchen is beautiful. I got to admit, I would have envisioned your kitchen as being a little grimmier--the early bachelor look.

DaCan 23 I to love tile saws. Rent instead of own though. Cutting tile is so satisfying. It is like a jig saw puzzle that you get to make the pieces and assemble instead of just assemble. I am always so thrilled when the last piece fits and I still have all my fingers. How are your grouting skills? (My grout never holds up well long term. Not sure why.) Congratulations on a great job. Show us the finished product when you are done.
