Just joking ... of course you have. I came across this photo the other day while deleting all my old files.
This was the book I used to build my first wall mud job almost 8 years ago. (The job in photo)
Anyone know the bugger who wrote it? I'd love to get it autographed.
:yeah:

Hey Harry! How's it going buddy? Bri and I were just saying the other day that we need a trip to The Keg. :D
Yep, got one right here next to my desk, Harry. Got no camera, though. Is yours wrote in Inglish, or in Canuck? :D
I bet if you were to send it to that "bugger" he'd be happy to autograph it for ya and send it back. :)

My hair is much more grey .... but the tiles are still on the wall.
Rob, you missed a nice steak n' beer at the keg up here with Bri and Randall, but I've got a little care package I'll send out to you with some good Canadian products. You like beaver pelts and pickled salmon right?
:yeah:
Kelly, I'll have to send JB my copy .... maybe get the Canuck version. What's it called ...... "Ceramic Tile Setting Eh"
:)
Actually, I think it was Ceramic Tile Fixing, Eh? Maybe he got y'all and them Brits mixed up a little.
Texans can't much tell the difference between accents lotsa times, eh? :D
Hope all is well with you and your site up there. I've tried to send a few of our northern visitors over to see you lately. They'll be axin' us aboot building codes or product avialability, or pricing up yonder above The Circle and we pretty much ain't got a clue.
"Go axe Harry and his mates," we tell'em. But we don't never know if they went. :shrug:

Hey Harry,
I would like to thank you for getting me back into this trade back in '06.
Was a tile mechanic many years ago working my way through college then promptly went in to something completely different - trucking,transportation & logistics. After about ten years of that I was burned out and was looking for what I wanted to do when I "grow up ".
Thinking back to my setting days thought ok this is it.
Long story short - ran across your site and that shower you are in and that was all I needed to push me over the edge and back into this game. Left the corporate world of cushy chairs and air conditioning and big checks.
First shower I did was a tribute to that shower and now I'm a confirmed tile geek - thanks - I think:D

I got the book, read a couple dozen pages, then lost it. Not real happy about that.

One day you'll hunt me down and get even.

Did a week of diving last summer in the St Lawrence with a fellow from Texas. After several beers he'd always tried to order food from the french waitresses in Spanish.
I didn't know John Bridge was a diver, Harry. :D

Bring that sucker to Coverings along with yourself and I'll autograph it for you, you rascal. :D
Seriously, why not hop over for a few days? The money is still about at par isn't it? You'll need lots of it to finance a hotel room in Chicago. :D
