So, I was at Home Depot buying some supplies, since I’m in the process of ripping apart and remodeling one of our bathrooms.

I texted my wife telling her I was going to get an air chisel to help tear out the tile floor.

Her response was, “You can buy anything you want baby.”

Help me out, y’all.

Is there any way I can justify how a Mesa Rectoverb can be used to help me remodel a bathroom?
 
hhhmmmm.......not sure --- I know this could pound the floor to shreds

Yes, turn it real load and the tiles will just fall off...

I'll translate her spoken words to what she actually means.
“You can buy anything you want baby” means exactly that, with the obvious missing end phrase of "as long as I approve it first".

And that applies in all cases.

I earn 100% of the money in our household, my wife "retired" about a decade ago, but I still feel like I need to get any purchase over a couple hundred dollars approved by the boss in advance, haha!
 
Buy a Dewalt table saw and stand, a compound mitre saw and stand, some 20v drills, sawzall, etc. "Look honey at the tools I needed"....
Don't open them. Then sneakily return them before the store return policy date. Rectoverb fund established :celebrate2:

Problem is...I already have a Ryobi table saw (that she bought me for one Christmas) and a 10" Delta compound mitre saw (that she bought me for a birthday) and a Bosch Sawzall (that she bought me for another birthday)!

Doesn't work for me.

With the exception of my '74 SG and my Yamaha nylon strung guitar, she bought me all the guitars I have. Well, I bought the Jackson as a B-Day present to myself, but she picked the color. Well, actually some members here had input on the color, but she exercised veto power. She actually has really good taste in guitars.

She knows what I have. She can also pick them out by sound with a fair degree of accuracy. It's really uncanny.

WAIT!-- whats the budget for said bathroom remodel????

Can you SAVE enough in materials-- costs and labor --- to "squirrel" said $$$ to the RECTOVERB fund?

What is this "budget" of which you speak?

I just keep ripping stuff out and we keep looking at new tile, sinks, toilets, lighting fixtures, along with the occasional discussion of tearing down the wall and expanding the bathroom.

I'll know what the budget was when we're done!
 
I get estimates and then do everything myself for less than half the price...then when I want something I say "remember when I remodeled X and saved $$$$". Plus I always require new state of the art tools or refuse to cooperate....

Ok, you’re screwed :LOL: Plan B. Buy really expensive tile for the shower, gold inlay or something. Install much less expensive tile. Return expensive tile for Rectoverb fund. Or plan C. Honey I’m gonna put a lot of effort into this remodel, and with the savings I’m going to buy us something nice. You’ll get X and Ill get a small guitar amp. :celebrate2:

You're a nice guy...I refuse to take tools as gifts just like me wife refuses to take blenders and vacuums and such...
 
there is a unique option-- make HER the bathroom of her DREAMS-- (do it all as cost effectively as possible) -- Talley the total for same bathroom by a professional designer and crew---after bathroom is finished-- and she is relaxing lavishly with champagne-- a plate of chocolate covered strawberries and her favorite music to relax by -------
you mention in passing that you saved (SAVED) well over XXX$ and wondered if she would mind a small guitar amp purchase --- since you did work SO hard on her bathroom ..................

you really gotta SELL this one--- LOTS of hours toiling away in said bath.....-=--possibly even an injury or 2 during the process (dont lose a limb or anything) .........
