Quickly dried top with towels and used wife's blow dryer to get water out of ungrouted sections. Shop vacuumed over all the cracks. No way to tell if moisture is trapped visibly.

I've stopped, hoping what moisture remains will evaporate. Will wait a few days and regrout if needed.

Any advice appreciated. Throwing a box fan in there now.

Probably top 3 dumbest things I've ever done. Really sucks. Lol.

Vinyl upholstered bench has trapped air bubbles

Used spray adhesive to attach 2" high density foam to the bench then upholstered vinyl over top. Whenever I sit on it the other side pops up from trapped air. Granted it's perfectly functional but pretty annoying given I spent a fair amount of time on the wooden part of the bench. This doesn't seem to be a common problem (or at least one that I can find).

What did I do wrong and how do I fix it?

Propane fireplace not reacting to wall thermostat?

I have a propane fireplace in my living area, with a thermostat on the wall across the room. When I moved in last year, the thermostat wasn’t functional, so I replaced it with a new Honeywell and up until a few days ago things worked perfectly.

Lately, when I turn the thermostat on, I can hear a click at the fireplace, as I do when it’s working correctly, but the fireplace won’t turn on. Pilot light is clearly visibly lit, and the only solution I’ve found so far is to turn off the pilot light, then relight it, and the rest of the fireplace turns on as it should have when I turned on the thermostat.

Does anyone have any advice on how to get this back to working as it should?

Thanks!
