Since you are not overlapping the vertical tile like bricks would it not be preferable to work from center and cut a tiny sliver from both the left and right side? This way you'll only be missing a tiny bit of the far left and right tiles which will not be noticed and not have a sliver left in the right corner. Downside being 16 cuts rather than 8 but no big deal with your stop block. Slivers are the enemy!
Soooooo... Anyone else notice how Mike was acting like a school girl around her? Do I smell a Modern Builds spin off channel coming featuring Mike and Rachel???
It was so painful seeing them back butter this whole wall... would have been so much easier and quicker if they just applied the adhesive to the wall and placed the tile into it.
My friend, i'm so sad... When you are doing tiling all you need is simple rule: 1) measure the wall 2) measure the tile 3) devide lenght of wall on a lenght of tile. Find how many full tiles you need.let's call this N. 4) take N-1 tiles and glue them from center to the corners. 5) in the end you will get simmetrical gaps in the corners. 6) cut 2 tiles and glue them in place. (Yes i know that it will take more tiles but in the end you will see nice wall without that nasty strips in the corner)
I think those tiles around the fixtures are likely to crack as you essentially made them very thin with a void behind by using that grinder. Also to cut all of the thin pieces together only works if your walls are perfectly plum. Often they are all slightly different due to misaligned walls. Finally you fancy her so bad 😂
Great video Mike! Did you try drilling a hole in a piece of wood with another same sized drill bit and then using that as a guide for the diamond hole saw? I've found it can be a really good solution to wobbly drill bits :)
Next time put a mastic on the wall and “back butter” each tile. Also start at the center and work out so you don’t have a odd skinny one on the end. Also the pump for the tile saw should go in a clean bucket of water. It’s not good for the pump to circulate dirty water. Decent job. But this will scream DIY at the end.
u don't have to put mastic on the wall AND the tile on a wall application like this. those tiles weigh next to nothing and will rarely ever get any wear due to pressure, unlike a floor application which WOULD benefit from adhesive on the tile and the substrate.
@@manit77 in italy we says that:" my cousin done that!"... it means that the job look's cool for the unskilled (to be gentle) but really the job is bad done. In this case we have: no spacers (tails will jumps out), adhesive only on tail (it have to be on both crossed), che baseline broken at the end so it's crooked. And the useless cleaning of tail one by one...... oh.. it's a bathroom? no waterproofing the wall?
Just like to say I really like your UA-cam channel it’s amazing the stuff that you feel would like to ask if you have any ideas for a full wall I have a party wall that I share in a condo and I hear people on the other side. Any ideas Mike?
great project! I have installed a lot of thes tiles in my life and you did a great job! I use plastic spacers to keep the same distanche between the tiles.
Very cool, Mike! I was excited to see the vertical subway tiles after you had mentioned it on the podcast and I really like the effect it has along with the no spacer clean look!
Ben true, although that doesn’t prevent it completely. But I was talking more about when he used the angle grinder to make the holes for the fixtures...
@@Boros777 oh yeah for sure with that angle grinder. i was just curious because i have a project coming up involving a wet tile saw and i didn't think i would need to wear a mask for that...but it can't hurt to be over safe
Ben you probably don‘t need to nad a bit stone dust isn‘t nearly as bad as say asbestos but can‘t hurt to stay safe and some of those textile masks cost only a few bucks...
Your suppossed to use the edge of the grout float. That works like a squeegie so the grout goes where its suppossed to and doesnt get caked everywhere.
You'd generally only have to water proof areas that can get wet and in a half bath you only have a toilet and sink. So no shower or bathtub to worry about, which can limit the area of concern to just the wall immediately behind the sink and the floor. Normally, something like a cement board would be used instead of drywall for the sink area but there are alternatives these days, like paperless drywall...
Before start you should measure and plan…. That 1” tile will scream “look at me” for ever….with correct size spacers or cutting tile each side will look better
Life changes everyone. No exception! Keep up the good work in those DIY projects that everyone can get ideas from. You have been my go to in researching home projects that make my house look clean and presentable. I think other people on this are in NEED a girlfriend... #getyourownwoman
I so agree. These people have a money guy and it's there first flip and saving money to do it your self .who uses mastic on a water based wall that's only for kitchen backsplashes where there is no water ! Not showers. Also center the wall!
Cool video, I have never seen title applied like this before. Thanks for showing a new technique I haven't seen before. Would like to hear a little more about the type of product you used to apply the tile and why? #TheMoreYouKnow #KnoweldgeIsPower
I don’t want to sound smart-ass ish. But these tiles are not gonna hold up for long. The reason why you put the adhesive to the wall and not the tile is that you want to bind any excess dust still on the wall. Anyways. Nice work still.
DJCastle Best practice is to first apply a thin coat of adhesive with the flat edge of your trowel onto the surface. This will avoid any dust messing up the result. If you apply the glue to the tile’s underside and then put it against the “dirty” wall/floor the adhesive might just pick up the dust and not really stick to the wall. I made the same mistake and had to redo an entire wall after tiles became loose and almost fell down. Plus applying the glue to the surface is way less messy. You gently press the “clean” tile in the bed of adhesive. And using spacers is highly recommended since drywalls tend to contract and expand on different temperatures causing the tiles to rub against each other in worst case. Made this mistake, too. No spaces between tiles looks great yes but in the long-term is causing you headaches IMHO. If you like a seamless look you should search for rectified tiles which normally have a sharper edge which means you can use smaller spacers. I hope this helps.
why you do not using any spacing between tiles? That's gross! Oh man and those holes for water pipes - please let tiles away and made something with wood.
Freaking hilarious! So, much wasted time on gluing up pieces individually. Plus you should make sure to center tye tile to the center of the wall. So pieces on the left side and right side are the same size!
My installer ruin the last tile (6ocm) that way because he thaugth that it will be covered (nope) and now it's from a different tone... how i hate him!!!!

I think mike found a girlfriend 😂😂
i hope so! a lot of these dyiers got nobody
Butter the wall and then back butter the tile. Buttering both is ideal.
“Look at that” proud of the tile butter all over her hands lol.
I saw sparks, Mike! I can’t be the only one...

2:05 looks like Mike almost cut his thumb off
My OCD is kicking in seeing that little sliver tile on the end
Lord of Deer yup same... like cut the first one and the last one... 🤦🏼♀️
Looking good dude! I feel a lot more confident about tackling tile work for the first time after watching this.

so one side of the wall is going to have a skinny tile all the way up....seriously lol? why not center them

Love the slow deflation of your hair as the video goes on. And I love the vertical subway tile

No need to backbutter tiles that small, small amount of pressure pretty much guarantees 100% coverage
No spacers on the tiles? I have also never seen anyone put adhesive on the tiles.
PageMonster this is extreme DIY

Some subway tiles don't require spacers. They have little "tabs" to help keep them consistently spaced.
these tiles have built in spacers
Tile adhesive is very common and I'd say most people use it
A reno serie could be cool
jeje, i'm an interior designer, those vertical lines make the room taller and narrower

Omg rachel is so gorgeous!!
Impressive work!
Really clever way to cut that hole!
Hey how has this held up? Everyone I speak to seems to think that much grout will be a nightmare
Nice! still need to try a tiling project myself
when you measured the tiles to reach for the height of the ceiling, do you account for the space/grout between each tile?
Use some respiratory protection when grinding on that stone - stone dust isn't too great for the lungs...
isn't that what the water is for? i didn't see any dust.
Ben true, although that doesn’t prevent it completely. But I was talking more about when he used the angle grinder to make the holes for the fixtures...

lol. no dust due to the water on the saw. problem solved.
Pep talk ayyyyyye? Who else wants to hear what that was? =P

Janie Gonzalez “And as usual, no pressure” - Chris Salomone
Brian Byrne, nailed it!! 🤣👏🏻👌🏻
In pretty sure using a small spacer would have removed the need for the sliver at the edge
The grinder idea was pretty neat, man! I like it!
Your suppossed to use the edge of the grout float. That works like a squeegie so the grout goes where its suppossed to and doesnt get caked everywhere.
Cool project
Am I the only one who’s brain hurts from looking at vertical subway tiles?
did she prefer the straight line look instead of offset? you typically offset subway tiles that size.
I like the project & I like her
I would try using painters tape to tape off the tiles so you only grout the grout lines, I would think there would be less cleanup.
Just wondering if there's a reason why no spacers were used between the tiles?
This type of tile has "nubs" on the edges that space the tiles for you.
This is just drywall? No waterproofing?
Toshiyuki Takamatsu it sure looks like it. They really need cement board.
its not gonna have a shower or anything its just a powder room
You'd generally only have to water proof areas that can get wet and in a half bath you only have a toilet and sink. So no shower or bathtub to worry about, which can limit the area of concern to just the wall immediately behind the sink and the floor.

@@ZeoCyberG really? it's a powder room not a shower, what sort of mess are you making behind your sink it needs to be shower waterproof?

Does the grout need sealing of any kind?

Should have measured and centered the tile so that the end of each row was not left with a small piece.
I so agree. These people have a money guy and it's there first flip and saving money to do it your self .who uses mastic on a water based wall that's only for kitchen backsplashes where there is no water ! Not showers. Also center the wall!
Also waterproof the walls.. omg ;(
