I'm fine with both.

Someone brought in a box of assorted cookies. I don't know where they were from, but they came in a plain white bakery box and looked home made. I grabbed a snicker doodle, and it was moist, chewy, buttery, and had the right amount of saltiness to cut the sweet. Freaking delicious.

I don't know... It was a damn good cookie!

I saw this article minutes too late. I literally just ate a cookie on my way back to my desk from a water break.

Both of my credit cards have been recently sending me checks to use for 0% APR for 15 or 18 months. The only catch is a transfer fee of about 3-4%. Still a good deal though. I used one to buy some new countertops, and plan to pay it off before the rate increases.

I recently did this in our bathroom remodel, and will be doing again soon in our new kitchen.

Any surface needs to be really clean when applying tape, and especially caulk. To prep the surface for caulking I recommend cleaning the surface normally, then cleaning again with alcohol to remove any traces of solvents. This will help ensure the caulk has a proper seal and lasts much longer.

+1 for the cutters with the thumb rest. That was my favorite when I worked at a stained glass shop back in the day. They're good if you're cutting glass all day long. I keep a few cheapo all metal pen style cutters in my toolbox nowadays, and toss them when the get rusty.

This video is fairly thorough, but I'm a little surprised she didn't mention the basic tapping method for cutting glass. It requires no other tools than the cutter itself. Most cutters have a ball on the end or a rounded brass cap on the oil reservoirs for this.

And remember to layout the tile without thinset just to make sure you don't get any weird tiny pieces when you reach the sides of the room. The more time you spend planning the layout ahead of time the better.

+1 for Schluter products! They're not cheap, but it is top notch. I've used they're ditra, kerdi, and metal end caps. Love them.

So far my lottery method is not working...

You can season on the stovetop as well, but the oven works best because the heat is even it takes time. Anytime we bake something I will oil up one or two of my cast iron skillets and put them on the bottom rack. No wasted heat or time.

I checked, and my driver is made in China. *shrugs*

Cool, I didn't know there was a difference. I always called mine tin snips, but they're actually aviation or compound snips. The more you know...

I was looking at getting an offset spatula. I think a non slotted spatula will suit my needs more in general, but I think I want one of these too now.

I agree. Unless it's something I use often and need to move around with (i.e. drill & driver), then I don't see much of a point. I keep an extension cord plugged in the garage at all times anyways.

The only battery operated tools I own are a drill and impact driver. 19.2v craftsman drill and 18v hitachi. Unfortunately they are not the same brand, but if I get anymore I will go with hitachi. They are cheap, and it's proved to be reliable. I have two batteries for my driver, and swap out when needed (not often). I

It will be any color if you're spray painting without a respirator.
