I am so sorry this happened. I wanted marble so much but was convinced I am not a good enough housekeeper so I forced myself to find something else I liked. I did read that you could have a professional come in and "restore" the finish of marble to get the shine back somewhat. Anyway, now is the time to take a deep breath and embrace the patina look!! Your DD is the same age as mine and will be home a long time before college. It's just like my new beautiful hardwood floors, every little dent made me cry but now I have to say, "It's a FLOOR, not fine furniture!" (but still, I don't even know why DH had the rolling pin in the first place. He doesn't even bake-grrr.)

Hi thanks for this awesome Forum :) I ordered a shark vac on Saturday but only just found this discussion I happened to order two one for my 81 year old mother in law and one for myself the lady taking my order was really good until the end not sure if she hung up on me or my phone cut out but I didn't get a confirmation number so I tried calling back they could not help me then I was given a CS number and they couldn't help me. I still don't know if my order went thru or not. Can any one tell me how long it took to show up on the credit card.

Q1: Do I need to pull out my whole shower pan before replacing the tiling? Q2: Is non beveled tile going to feel sharp on our feet? We had porcelain with rounded edges before. We've been without the master shower for over 6 weeks. History: We regrouted our porcelain shower floor 6 weeks ago, as there have been some shrinkage over the years (shower built in 1996) It's the master shower, 4.5 ft by 5.25 ft. We left a fan on to dry it and after leaving it to dry 3 or 4 weeks there were still dark areas. I figured that perhaps some other caulk product has soaked in to cause a discoloring, so I scraped out the grout in just these areas and in fact the grout had been wicking up water that was pooled underneath the tile. The more I scraped, the wetter the material was. I had used a moisture meter and there was water everywhere. The areas were around the edges and 2 areas that led towards the drain. I ripped out the tile to see what was going on and in fact the thin set would chip off easily in those damp areas and the mud underneath was very dark with water. I think that the culprit was a cleaning/sealing that we did last Fall. I had had the tile pressure washed by a service that did my whole house and then we had sealed the cleaned areas. The whole downstairs is tile and we've had no problems whatsoever with that cleaning job. Ditto in the other bathrooms. I'm thinking that I trapped water underneath with the cleaning and then sealed too soon. As soon as the tile came up, it has been drying rapidly. The mud turned from almost black to light gray. I'm thinking that there is pooling around the circumference due to the fact that the tile walls come down meeting the floor at a 90 degree angle - meeting flush. (hope that's the right term) It seems to me that it would be better to have the floor extend a little behind the wall tile to keep water flowing towards the drain. I'm assuming that the pan was presloped since we've never really had mold problems or discoloration until I redid the grout. I'm really at a loss. We're thinking of just retiling and then hoping for the best. Any better ideas?

Ahhh...that's why man created 'hot glue guns'. The 'plastic feet' are actually transport feet. They are supposed to come off once the furniture is delivered. Yep. They are temporary. The felt pads can be glued to the bottom of these stools. It's pretty cool.
