    As a police officer I thank you for the lesson you taught your kids as well as the rest of your fans. Before I was in a law enforcement I too got a couple of speeding tickets. I had no problem with getting caught in the wrong. Not everyone we catch is a "Bad guy" maybe you are just a good guy caught being a little bit bad.

      Jason, when I was a kid I had a couple of cops who kind of took me under their wing. I never knew why, because I didn't give them any reason to. I was not always a good guy. They gave me the riot act when I deserved it, but they were always there when I needed them. I've never forgotten them. I'm sure I would've turned out different than I did. I'm 65 now, and I still remember those cops from my teenage years.

      First off, I appreciate what you do. Secondly, I fully agree with what you said, I’m in the middle of a license suspension (due to accumulating too many demerit points from speeding tickets) right now, and I honestly accept that I broke the law, so I deserve it. Yet my friends (most of whom have never gotten tickets) will flip off and disrespect cops for no particular reason. It makes me sad that our society sees policemen just doing their jobs as the bad guys.

      That's quite true mate, up to a point..
      But there is a flip-side to that too.
      That only works for people who have a strong sense of deontological duty..that is, a powerful personal sense of honour, and the self-discipline & self control to always act & be the best person they can be..
      Who own all their own faults & mistakes, and aren't looking to take advantage..
      And who will continue to be this person, even WROL..
      Believe you know many people like that, do you?
      A basic example..
      Wouldn't you be out looting, especially if all your mates were..if there were no cops or people like those i just mentioned around to make you regret it?
      Would you turn down the fun stuff, looting, a giant new 4K TV, or 6 months worth of fuel or groceries that you could steal..until SOMEONE ELSE came & made you accountable?
      Would you miss out on all the 'fun' the trashing stuff, the looting, the raping..Just because you had a strong sense of morality, and personal Veritas?
      Extremely few would..
      Civilization is a very thin veneer for far too many.
      So..how thin, or THICC, are you mate?
      Would you be a looter, gaining huge spoils for yourself?
      Would you be a defender, doing good, but gaining nothing much at all for yourself, and still risking injury to fight?
      Or would you just walk away from all of it, gaining safety for yourself, but helping no-one, and achieving no honour, or stability for your neighbours, town or country?
      From a certain perspective, all of them are BAD answers..in others, each could well be a right one too.
      Ultimately it's largely relative..the real question becomes which are you gonna be when it most matters..which are you going to be every day, and how much would you change..on a "different" day!?

    Years ago I got pulled over about a mile from home, only my three year old daughter was in the vehicle with me. The officer was very respectful and courteous. As he returned to his cruiser with my license and stuff, my daughter started crying. I asked what was wrong and she wept, "how are we gonna get home?". She thought for sure that we were going to jail.

      If you like watermelons, dig out the meat, run it through a blender and add some sweetener to taste. Something about watermelon that really "gets you going" My gran was an E.M.T. and would take a pint or two to give to the kidney patients she met at work. My brother's kidneys shut down when an unobservant pediatrician administered a medication that shouldn't have been given to an infant. Mom fed him watermelon juice when they finally came home from the hospital and well; at his first checkup, he strafed both the pediatrician and a nurse. mom warned him that little bro was quick. Doc said that was a first for him in his 30 years of practice...XD!

    Matt... For future tiling jobs here is some info, you need to use your chalk line, measure distance between your walls in multiple locations and mark your center line and chalk it, and then do it again from the other walls so that you will end up with a cross(+) in the center of your room at this point lay your first four tiles in the corners of your cross and work your way out so that all cuts end up on the edges this will allow for all your jagged edges to be covered with trim and makes for a more semetrical look. And you dont end up with all your cuts on one wall.

  • @turgsh01
    @turgsh01 6 років тому +27

    You don't need a tile cutter for such a tiny job like that. Just use a grinder. It's often used only for complicated cuts like rounded corners and stuff, but it can be used for any kind of cut really, just takes longer and might not be as clean of a cut depending on your patience and steady hand.

    Matt you don't need a full on tile saw. They make tile cutters that score and then cleanly break the tile. We used one on my parents house and did the whole first floor, it's super easy. They're between 50 and 150 bucks. Also when you texture the mortar do it in all different directions so the tile won't shift in one direction.

    • @christian9902
      @christian9902 6 років тому +3

      he's going to need a saw at some point, he needs to cut the tiles just barely to cut the right angle for the tile to match the crooked step. Can't do that with a tile cutter. Also, professionally. You never put a cut facing out or against a showing grout line, unless if its done on a tile saw.

      @christian9902 6 років тому +2

      Bald Driver, you would typically soak tiles that are soft. Also comes down to the mortar and grout you're using. If they are lower quality tiles, soaking can prevent them from breaking as easy. Many different reasons behind it, i hardly soaked tiles when i worked. But if you arent confident, it doesnt hurt.

    Just a tip (and I haven’t watched the whole video so maybe I’m too late) ... don’t grout the outside edges. It’s a huge pain in the butt to grout in corners and if (when) the walls and/or floor move, it’ll crack along the bottom of the wall. Grab some silicon and your caulking gun, and run a bead of silicone around the edges.
    Another clue if you’re ever doing more tiling, buy a $10 diamond wheel for your angle grinder. Work slowly and gently until you get the feel for it and pretty soon you’ll be cutting all kinds of angles and notches etc. in your tiles.
    Wear ear protection lol.

    tiling hack
    you probably got swamped with tiling advice already, but take 5 seconds to read this one:
    To make the perfect cuts on your tiles, first take a board (or even better: cardboard) and cut it to the exact size of the gap that you need filled in (so between the installed tiles and the crooked wall). You can then glue whole tiles onto the board (using some light craft glue when using wood board to allow removal after cutting), crossing the edge. When all are in place, you can cut them all at once along the side of the board. Use the proper angle grinder disk for your tile. Stick some masking tape on them and draw the line to cut on that tape for extra ease and chipping prevention. You can do the cutting outside too, to prevent nasty ceramic dust all over your house.

    • @lukearts2954
      @lukearts2954 6 років тому

      that is a very nice compliment, Sean. Thank you very much :) Let's hope somebody at the Ranch reads it too and finds it equally useful. If so, it'll make it in the video and even more people can benefit from it...
      It also works for wall tiling in kitchens (I actually glue them permanently to the board for that application, and then fix the entire board as is. Might come in handy for rewiring or adding outlets) with the added bonus of tiling walls yet not having problems with gravity =D

  • @perrywilliams1214
    @perrywilliams1214 6 років тому

    Matt, the chalk line is so that you would have a reference line in the middle of the room. You actually start laying the tile in the middle of the room. This way if the room is not Square then it's easier to cut the tiles on the outside edge next to the wall.

    Pro tip to tile. Start in he corner closest to 90degrees and make sure to put your tile directly against the wall. You don’t want to have a gap between the tile and tha wall for water to build up in and cause rot and you shouldn’t put grout against a wall because it will be extremely hard to remove without ruining the drywall after it has dried

      @Daf__XL 6 років тому

      uhh... it's a laundry room, it should be done like a kitchen. Seal everything including the baseboards to the wall and floor. There should never be any ways for water to get through at all unless it rises above the baseboards or skirting boards.

    • @harrisonremedios8430
      @harrisonremedios8430 6 років тому +1

      DaFuqq that’s what I’m saying, they were putting spacers between the base and the tile creating essentially a water channel that flows under the base. They need to push the tile against the wall and seal it to the base so water can’t seep in

    • @mikenelson6630
      @mikenelson6630 6 років тому

      The baseboard should really be removed before laying down tile, then replaced when the tile is finished. But good job in letting the kids help out with the project, it's the best way to learn, and will give them confidence with other things.

    Concerning the tile, always measure on one side of the room in the corner and mark the center, then the other side. Repeat with the other two walls snd cut 2 lines creating a cross in the middle of the room.Start your tile from these center lines and work your way out. No room is ever square so you will have cuts on the edges.Rent a wet saw to make these, you'll be glad you did.Extra masters tip: Most young tile setters don't know this but after you've sponged your grout a few times cleaning it off your tile, there is still a light film on the tile. Get something made out of burlap such as a feed bag and polish the tile with it and it takes the film right off. Love your vids.

    Couple of tiling tips. Find the center of the room and start tile. Cut the edges around the room. Also you are supposed to put mortar/thin set on the backs of the tiles also. That tile will come up over time.

  • @itsjeansmit
    @itsjeansmit 6 років тому +1

    Something i saw tilers do when they did my house, they first lay down a line of tiles running both ways (no adhesive) just to get a feel of the line. I see a lot of comments point to a grinder to cut the odd shapes, that will work fine, just a messy job.
    But its fun to learn on the job, many odd-jobs at my home im also learning as i go along.

  • @kendavis8046
    @kendavis8046 6 років тому +7

    On the tile issue - I am not a rep for this product, don't have any financial interest in it, but ran across it when I was doing a floor project on my own house. Look at Home Depot for the "Lash" system. It's not inexpensive, but it will give you an absolutely level (er, even as is your subfloor isn't level it just mimics that) floor. It will also give you very sore thumbs from my experience. Also, I know you were just trying to do the one room, but it is still cheaper to buy a 50 pound bag of mortar and mix it yourself in small batches that you can use within an hour or so time frame.
    Also, I have had a VERY cheap tile saw that has seen me through years and years of tile, travertine, concrete block, even cutting open some rocks that turned out to be geodes, as suspected. Literally, the cheapest wetsaw that they had. You get messy, but I don't see that as a big issue for me, and I suspect you don't either.
    Another suggestion on the tile. The reason you usually start from the middle is to make the cuts on both sides symmetrical. However, I think you did the right thing in this case by "squaring" (to the eye, anyway) the far wall, because that is what is going to be what folks see if they walk in or by.
    Last suggestion if you are doing more of this. Go with a very generic tile. WAY easier to chisel out and replace if a tenant drops a heavy object on one. (As an owner of rentals, this is from personal experience.)

    • @robert9595
      @robert9595 6 років тому

      Ken Davis speaking from experience, cheaper doesn't always mean it's a cheap product. The majority of the time when you buy those $500 tools over a $100, you're paying for the name. Thing is with those branded companies, they begin producing quantity over quality and it doesn't matter because people buy the brand. So they can afford to replace mediocre products that break easily because the overhead doesn't out weigh potential profits.

    Working at a hardware store, I would have recommend you thinset. In my store, something like versabond or multiset for the reason it will dry faster. You can grout it in 6-8 hours later or the next day compare to your pre-mix thinset, which I consider more like mastic than thinset, dry in 2-3 days. Also with that size of tiles you don't really need to level it. Well just food for thought.

Couple things though.... always want to tape and mud your seams on your underlayment. 95% of the time you want to snap lines going through the center of your room both ways so you can find your layout from the center of the room.

    I’m a general contractor and I use a chalk line probably on average 5-10x a day. Just a few tips, wrap the line around your finger by the box so you can pull it tight enough, if you are by yourself, use a nail and the other end to hold the chalk line, if your line with be too long to snap, then snap it very feint and then use a hand to put part of the line against the wall and use your other hand to snap that section, you might have to nail both ends for that, just wrap the end by the box around the nail.

    It doesn’t matter if the rooms not square.
