Sunday update

Just a quick note to say that I followed up on Amie's suggestion and cut up the DITRA and removed excess thin-set from underneath--along with some DITRA trimming and some scraping of the edges, the Virginia problem is solved, and a second bump area (larger, but somehow less problematic) in the Minnesota-Montana region was 90% ameliorated. I'm going to mix up a quick, tiny batch of mortar, add a *little* bit back to secure those areas, and tomorrow we can put down mortar and tile.
