Associated Bank Display
Here's the picture of my display at Associated Bank.
I've had an account at Associated since I was thirteen years old and living in my hometown of Sturgeon Bay. They've always been very friendly and genuine. No surprise to me since they're headquartered in Wisconsin. A midwest company they are also the official sponsors of the Green Bay Packers, Wisconsin Badgers, and Milwaukee Brewers. Now how can you not do business with a company like that?

Yes, I do Glass Tile Installations


I've put these pictures up for two reasons.
1. Many installers don't install glass tile. I do. It's advertising, that's all.
2. If you're needing a glass tile installation from YOUR installer you should get some evidence that they have worked with glass before. EVEN IF YOU BUY YOUR TILE THROUGH A STORE AND THEY SAY THEIR INSTALLERS ARE THE BEST!!!!!
Or, if you have faith in their abilities that may very well be enough. Many are still getting their first glass installations. The artistic and patient should attempt, the others shouldn't.
Oops, and 3. I got the feeling the picture of my trucks new decals were driving people away from this blog.
You really should skim through it. There's some cool pics and my writing is quite spontaneous also. You might just be a bit entertained.
Oh and let your friends and family know I'm always up to look at potential jobs. As I call them. It's pretty fun for me. And I'll look at your work also. You can even purchase tile through me. LOTS of different things to choose from.

Couple Things
one is that I set up a display of my tables at Associated Bank in Whitefish Bay, WI. so if you're in the area stop by and take a look. after that commission me to make one for you. we'll design it to your specs and you'll love it forever.
second is that I finally got lettering on my truck. i think it looks really good. probably should have done it sooner but...better late than never.

A look into the future
Wow! It's been a while since I posted. February 18 to be exact. So I've done a couple of jobs recently that have involved materials not commonly used in homes these days. ...but they will be in the near future. The one is an 18x18 porcelain tile installed for a shower surround. Most people, at least in the Milwaukee area, use smaller tiles. However larger format tiles are on the rise in popularity and are showcased in magazines as commonly as 12x12's. The second photo shows a 12x24 tile. An awesome sized tile. Very unique. But, only unique now. So get on your horse and have it installed before it becomes common.
Please excuse the lack luster photo taking ability I've shown here. We'll post some better ones at the end of the job.
Note to installers: In the second photo you'll notice a pice of Custom Building Products new wall backerboard Easyboard. The Easyboard was used in the shower and I'll write more about that later. This entry is getting long enough as it is.
Note to installers and designers: The tile layout landed with a couple of the tiles at the living area which were a very small size. 2" to be exact. We didn't want to offset the tile layout to compensate for that. Instead we cut a couple pcs. of tile to create a threshold. It worked out excellent and the pics of the finished job will be even better.

Marble Coffee Table Grouted

Marble Coffee Table
The material used in my latest table design is marble. The marble came on mesh backed 1 foot square sheets. In order to avoid a patterned look the sheets were cut into individual lines and placed on the table offset from one another.
After grouting and sealing this table should trump all other coffee tables on the block.
