the cunts in OTD said you fags might know something about installing slate floors since you're all a bunch of minimum wage day laboring hippies working for your next score.
anyone installed them?
anyone have them?
anyone know where to get it cheap?
anyone got a miracle?

I don't imagine it's to hard. lay down base grout, lay down adhesive. lay down slate. make sure it's level.

I've read all the write ups on installation and stuff.
I'm just trying to figure out if there's a way to get it cheaper than they are trying to sell it at Expo.
like some west coast slate wholesaler or some shit...
also, some writeups mention that grouting is tough because you can't just spread across the entire surface due to the uneven nature of slate...can you comment on the types of sealants used on the tiles before grouting to make clean up easier?

I'd say Screech was more "zany" than funny. Oh lord, there was no telling what sort of wacky shenanigans that guy would get the gang into!

How many square feet are you looking fore? Do you want it inside or oust side? I live in the slate belt and can get you want you want. If you want blue stone that is? How thick do you want it?
As to making it even I would try and aply an even layer of grout. Since slate kan be split to thiner sheats I would just try and make each peace the same width. Or you can use lots of grout and make it work able so that you can take thick and thin paeces and set them by eye.

at work, at my low wage shitty hippie job, we dont put anyhting on them when setting them jsut use water and cloth after to wipe it off before it sets. but there are alsoe a couple guys that cut and break it to shape so there is no problem setting it in....its as nice as tile by the time my hands are on it.
AC Slater, is by far teh funniest but not in a good way. zacks a fag, period. i think that tall thin chick was pretty funny too. her and her weightloss diet drink whatever comercials now kelly was pretty cheasy as well....

well, you may be able to get it on the cheap out there, but I'm on the other side of the continent from you.
thanks for the suggestion.
if perhaps you know of anyone with a west coast dist. that you could put me in touch with, then we're back in business.
