Oh I never seen a closed end lease, all my cars have been open, thankfully. That must apply to the higher end brands ?

I always want to go to the dealer as Subaru has really well made motor oil. But they don't have an express oil service so they want the car left there all day or I have to wait for it. They used to have a great loaner car program for this but since the chip shortage arrived they ran out of loaner vehicles.

Mine suspended their express lube service so you have to make an appointment in advance, they were about 2 weeks out. I waited for about an hour while they did it.

Not usually brand specific but certain dealers do it. I’ve seen Lexus and bmw both do closed end. GM’s old lease program was closed end as well. Most stopped doing it but some still do.

I just bought too many tile installation tools. I'm tiling our main bathroom floor. When I count up all of the tools I bought I think it would have been cheaper to hire someone to do it for me lol. Oh well so goes it.....

My floors in my bath and kitchen need to be replaced and I've got a box of tile that I got from a previous job quite awhile ago but I don't have anything to cut tile with. Or at least that is my excuse.

That's how it starts Rob. I got the tile, then started figuring out everything else that is needed.

I had a manual hand cutter from the past, but I bought a wet tile-saw to do some of the smaller cuts. Then you need the trowels, float, spreader, buckets, sponges, thinset mixer tool, square, along with spacers, thinset, and grout materials. It all adds up. Wet tile saws are pretty cheap these days thankfully.

^^UGH. I measured both rooms last week and have been keeping my eye out for a rug to cover both.
