Any emaw-elite handymen have tips for removing old caulk from shower tile other than just scraping like crazy with a razor, etc?

What kind of caulk?  Are you removing it to reapply new caulk?  Are you trying to keep the finish under it good or will it just be covered back up?

silicone shower caulk. I'm removing it because it is cracked and needs to be replaced with fresh caulk.

Surely someone who is an experienced caulk handler can weigh in on this.

2025 project is new floor in basement family room.  A pallets worth of heavy plank flooring needed moved from garage to basement.

After a few trips, we got creative using a folding table with one leg folded to create a landing spot and slid the boxes down the stairs.

I replaced a faulty ballast in Ms TBT’s closet yesterday. Felt pretty good. I even bought some new electrician tools and junk too.

Very impressive. Probably. I don't actually know what a ballast is.

I am kinda surprised you could find one and didn't have to just buy a new fixture.

While trying to program a remote to the garage door opener, I managed to get it not not open or close.  So, 7 YouTube videos later, the opener is working again and the remote is programmed.  Something that should have taken 5 minutes ended up taking 2 hours. 

Maybe this doesn't belong in this thread.

Removed shelving from the laundry room today. Stacked my washer and dryer. Installed the old shelving in the bedroom closet.

All to make room for my new bride and her stuff.
