...doing the things a particle should
Turns out the underlayment of our tile floor in the master bath is particle board that was _glued_ to the plywood underneath. So we can't pry it up, because the glue is stronger than the particle board, so the edge of the board just crumbles when we dry to pry it. But its rotten, so we think we ought to get it up. But we have no idea how to do this. We've basically been digging holes in it, using the mini-crowbar as a chisel to chip away bits of particle board. That's fine (slow but not age-of-the-universe slow) where its badly rotten, but is pretty dang ineffective where its only a little rotten.
Triangle man hates particle board
Anybody know how to deal with rotten particle board underlayment? Should we have just left it and put the membrane over it?
When hes underwater does he get wet?
Or does the water get him instead?
Nobody knows, particle board
Also, I've learned when working with particle board its essential to sing butchered They Might Be Giants songs.
Also, I've learned that physics lectures on MP3 are hard to follow without the diagrams that Feynman keeps referring to. Leading to more Particle Man.
