Thanks for all the info. It made so much sense to me, the way you change the lay out to fit. But most time we wont be tiling a square. And thats where i get confuse with hitting halls and other rooms perfect
I appreciate your explanation using the graphics. I have watched numerous videos where the tile setter is in a room with terrible acoustics trying to explain this concept and it just doesn’t work for me.
Focusing on this part of the job. I can cut mix mark lay etc. But squaring these rooms is confusing sometimes especially when you have a bunch of crooked exterior walls lol
i think you should have a full tile at the main entry into a room . then you can look at all the other walls , and see where a full tile would look better on one of them. then make a grid. no room is going to be square most likely , so go off the main wall from the main entry point . then to get a square line from the main e ntrty line use a square off of the main line
On grout joint along the wall. If trim is going down. How about leaving the grout joint empty as long as trim will cover it. What are the pros and cons?
As long as trim covers no need to grout!!! Get a spare piece of trim if you can to check as you install, as long as theres no holes so to speak all is well but you dont want it so close that the trim could break or fall inbetween tile and wall. At least half the trim needs tile under it 😊 prolly not best wording but hope this helps all this time later lol
I can't express enough how great, helpful and thorough was this video. I saved this video and I just subscribed. Thank you so much.

I agree. Most of the foreman and engineer would choose this layout.
9:40 is a great fix for that groutline without having to cut the tiles into odd shapes or triangles
Good and easy understanding
I just measure and split room both directions chaulk lines and can start any where
Interesting. So that excludes looking for correct exterior lines? Just center it an boom?
Fantastic video really helpful and simply way to plan. Does your website work how can I access more videos ?
What application did you use to explain this? Great job!!!
Dunno what he used, but you could do this in Word.
What application did you use ? Or software. Very good detailed video. Keep up the good work
MS-DOS
Hmm.. are the tiles on top gonna be full tiles? Why is this not adessed or did I miss something?
On grout joint along the wall. If trim is going down. How about leaving the grout joint empty as long as trim will cover it. What are the pros and cons?
Robert w Sieburg this is how im running my tile...being i have trim...3/4 of an inch...i wouldnt think i would need to fill the wall line
Always leave the perimeter empty for expansion and contraction. making a floor solid from wall to wall is bad. The floor could buckle.

Which paint program did you use?
Looks like Publisher to me.
Dunno what he used, but you could do this in Word.
Did you did this in Microsoft Excel?
Yea but what about a rectangular area that is 7X5???
Or for that matter plank tiles.
It still applies lol
Drinking game. Take a shot every time you hear the word " Square "
Cool!
Unsqareness is not a word.
Melina Finnigan... well, it was just invented. So there is now.
