BATHROOM DESIGN & BUILD
For those tile men who receive tile letter from the NTCA you might have remembered the story or note from Cecil Hunt last year that said his private testing proved that weep holes are blocking and not working as plan - with weep hole protection. After reading this I reached out to Bart from the NTCA and asked what was being done. I received a note back that the NTCA was going to look into it.
Well - that was last year and I again followed up with Bart from the NTCA this week. I was told that no study has been done and that this year and last no conversations held. The furthest it appears to have gone is scheduled to be looked at or maybe discussed.
I tried to track down Cecil's research and found this video.

It's not rocking the view count and this mooring had only 112 views. In it the video says Cecil made a few test boxes and that they all plugged. The culprit either minerals in the deck mud or the water. My money is on the deck mud. My money is on filler products and fly ash.
So it appears that the NTCA and the TCNA might get to this issue some time this year to discuss. Maybe next year a finding of sorts.
Keep your fingers crossed in the mean time boys..... I think we should do our own testing.
