      99.999% of the people working in those places know NOTHING about anything they sell...
      And the companies aren't wasting money to train people...

    Well done! Thanks for the refresher. I've installed tiles before but you reminded me of a few tips that I had forgotten like having fresh water around at all times and not using the dirty part of the sponge on the tile with grout. Doing a tile job today. Appreciate the refresher. God bless. 😊

  • @pauldemeules9927
    @pauldemeules9927 4 роки тому +16

    Tyler just a heads up, the toilet valve looks to be a threaded type. So you do have some options and I would suggest to use the ball type not gate type of shut off valve since the gate type will eventually stick (sometimes) then when you go to shut it off then it can start to leak. Anyway, after replacing all my gate type shut off valves with the ball type (they do make them nice chrome so they don't look any different) it makes toilet or faucet repairs so much easier.

    The consistency of tile that you are doing throughout your house is really nice. Thank you for showing common obstacles and how to overcome them with simple solutions, as well as other ways to solve a problem when a tool happens to fail. The house projects are looking great!

  • @Blackdog4818
    @Blackdog4818 3 роки тому +6

    I'm planning the same project in a bathroom.
    1) Would regular mortar work with Ditra?
    2) Is the 33% stagger because you're using such large tiles?
    3) Did your toilet flange have to be raised because of the Ditra/tile heigth?

  • @yepper1165
    @yepper1165 4 роки тому +2

    The colder the water the slower it sets, and more open time. And you need diamond grit hole saws for porcelain tile. The laser is cool but it's quite easy to just measure over and make a pencil mark on the set tile to line up your next one.

    • @alphaomega311
      @alphaomega311 3 роки тому +1

      You wouldn't want to use mortar to secure the wood u could use mastic adhesive which is more of a glue. Wood expands more than tile so u would have to leave a joint between the tile and use a matching grout caulk.
