I guess I just forgot my own advice!.
There should be a little piercer sword that swings out of the bottom of your caulking gun for that.Isn’t my new bath mat neat?.
So here’s a little look at some of the “before” shots.I had to remove a whole lot of wallpaper and little bits were left on the edge of the tile there.Also these old walls are in pretty rough shape, but they won’t be replaced until “bathroom reno 2.0” happens, so I thought I’d just try to make the whole thing look more presentable by covering up what I could.. Not nice.
We’ve got to make this better.This is what I usually do when I do caulking.
I lay down a thin bead and then use my finger to smoosh it until it’s smooth.. Two things are wrong with this: 1) If you read the tube, you’re not supposed to actually touch the caulking with your bare skin.
I got a latex mechanic’s glove that I found in my stash of tools.He looked up and said semi-mockingly, “Oh no, we’re going to miss the Dover Cruise this weekend.” we were heading out to the beach in a couple of hours.. “What’s that?” “I don’t know.” he did know but didn’t feel like getting into it further.
That’s kind of an annoying thing to do, isn’t it?Anyway….. A moment later we heard a strange put-put-putting coming from outside.. We peeked out the window and saw a tractor.
It was the Dover Cruise!.Around here, almost any tractor passing is reason enough to run out waving like a crazy person.
