today's task was to put a second coat of "stucco" on the walls, install the cement backer board, and perhaps start tiling.
i had to shave 1/2" off the bottom of one board and lacked the tools, so i got a 4-1/2" right angle grinder and a 4" diamond masonry blade...no problem, since the spindle diameters are the same, right? wrong - made a second trip to the depot to find a washer or a different blade, but it turns out that this particular grinder (ryobi ag451k) won't tighten down past ~3/16" thickness, and all of the cutoff blades are 1/8" thick. must return it now...
time wasted: 1.5 hours
i ended up just nibbling that 5' x 1/2" piece off with pliers.
