Good link. I know I've seen caulking that adverstised silicone fortification but with water clean-up. It's weird how some products just go missing now and then. I checked two maybe three stores and they didn't have any kind of caulking rated for kitchen and bath 'cept straight silicone.
Right now, I can't find the Stanley tape measure I like -- the 25' lever lock. I liked the older version, the square looking one -- they discontinued that, I reluctantly came to like the new one, now it's no where to be found -- checked several stores in my travels. Hopefully, it's just so popular they can't keep 'em on the shelves.
That part about having to redo the caulk a few times as the house settles, oh man, if that's what it takes. I'll have to take a look in a few months. I have no doubt we'll be showing our faces around there off and on for a while.
