I have a tile that moves slightly in my shower(moves down, not side to side-talking millimeters, not much), on one of the sides the grout came out, so I need to patch it up and reseal it...anyone have any product recommendations before I go to HD?

I would probably remove the grout all around that tile, then pull that tile out.  Scrape off the cement on the back of the tile and on the wall where you just removed the tile.  Then re-cement and grout it.  You don't want to get water behind that tile.  It's a pain in the ass but you should just do it right.  That's my 2¢.

Open the window in the bathroom and close the door and smoke yourself a cigar while you're working.  Tell the Mrs it's the only way to do the job correctly.  Turn on the fart vent too and you should be good.

Yeah that's what I was thinking...fully get that tile out, redo it and reseal it

Sounds like a bigger problem, whenever tiles "move" or grout cracks, you have an issue. It certainly shouldn't be moving down, send a picture. Sounds like water is getting behind, need to find that first to figure out how expansive the repair will be. May have already compromised the substrate

Yeah, if it looks fishy when I pull that one out I will stop and investigate...hopefully it's not too bad.

Just a note, it doesn't move enough to even see it...the only reason we noticed it was that we could hear the little air bubbles forming...so it's not like the tile is loose and flopping around or even moving in a way that could be felt or detected by the naked eye.

Good Humpday morning all!

Good morning, Dave.  You sticking around for a while when you get back?

No such luck.  Monday to Mexico and next Saturday back to Germany.

Let's together sometime in 2015 then.

Don't give up on November or December yet.

It's funnier to say 2015.  I'm still hoping to get in a herf in 2014.

Halloween.  The day I discovered chocolate goes good with cigars. Not PC to sit on my front porch smoking a stogie while handing out candy, but tough schitt.

Sounds great to me.  Do you hand out to Gurkhas to the parents?  Howdy, Mark.

That's right, and I tell them the MSRP on them.  They're quite impressed.

If I posted her photo, you'd "fix" it again.

I think Tony would tell you that ship has sailed. Both for his real wife, and his banter wife.

Are you dressing for Halloween?

Naked - well put some clothes on then re-assess the situation.

It's amazing to think of how our forefathers survived without internet access.  I guess they didn't live as long, so there's that.
