You have been so helpful for the average DIY'er. I really like how you explain everything in-depth and don't miss even the small things. The fact you mention these small things throughout the video shows how thorough you are so us average people don't forget! Thanks for all your help, man.

@TheExcellentLaborer Год назад

I noticed when I first started watching RU-vid years ago that some people do not add all the details like that. I have learned that the details are some of the most important parts to a DIY project. I appreciate you watching and good luck on your projects!

@MarfMerf Год назад

Thank you for your videos, they've been really helpful. I've been building a tiny house and renovating a 70 year old adobe house. Demo and framing was easy, finishing it out has been the hardest part. Thanks for the realistic time line too. So many folks out there do time lapses but don't actually say how many days the project realistically takes, especailly curing times which is important.

@TheExcellentLaborer Год назад

You are welcome! Sounds like you got a good project on your hands. Yes I like to wait at least 24 hours before walking on fresh tile. Appreciate you watching! Good luck on your project!

Plywood under cabinets of a kitchen???? You are an optimistic and brave man. In my house, my beloved wife arranges a mini flood there 3-4 times a year. and driving all the time flows under the lockers. at home, I made a plastered waterproofing on the floor of the kitchen area with gluing the floor-to-wall joints with elastic tape and did not regret it yes, 8-10 square meters of tiles were additionally spent. but on the scale of the repair is a trifle

@davidharrison3074 Год назад

I love working with rectangular tiles as well as 12×12 doing a pin wheel look with 6×6 on the corners which takes away from lines a little more. I have offset rectangular tiles and did a 1/3 offset to not have a joint lined up every other row. So many options when you have the ability to do so. I have never been able to do tile before cabinets even on some new construction. Of course most of mine were remodel of just a floor or even a full kitchen. A little more time consuming but you always have to do what is needed. Great job as always Josh. 👍🏻

@TheExcellentLaborer Год назад

I actually liked the 1/3 offset as well. I do feel like the 50% off said is more forgiving. I knew when I first started doing tile I always line the joints up without having any offset but I found out it looks better when it is offset. I guess that’s just some thing you learn with experience. I just about got all The tile done in this house and I’m excited to move on to new content that is not tile related lol. I appreciate you watching all of my videos David. The support helps a lot! Hope all is well with you. See you in the next video comments!

@davidharrison3074 Год назад

@@TheExcellentLaborer also doing square and a diagonal look. It's amazing when new products come out, customers get crazy ideas. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. Remodeling jobs are a bit easier since a customer may already have the decor set. Some customers need the visual as well. Years of remodel jobs is a little bit of a plus for ideas. Glad to always enjoy and have input with your projects. Suggestions are always a good thing as well. Be safe and have a wonderful week. 🙋🏼👍🏻

Thank you for your video. I'm planing to have my kitchen floor tiled professionally 375 SF, while living in it, how long does it take? currently it is linoleum

@amandachavira6687 Год назад

Can you make a video on how to lay compound to make a floor level in order to install flooring? My home is built on slab foundation an has become un-leveled, so that's why I'm asking.

@stormwolf4218 Месяц назад

I understand and agree with tiling under the refrigerator but I didn’t hear mention under the stove or dishwasher, etc. Would you suggest tiling under these as well?

@GH-qi1wv Год назад

Great videos. I think is better to put tile under the gabinet. I always droping water on the kitchen. Specifically I hand wash all my dishes and use mop and bucket to clean my kitchen

@patrickflynn6704 Год назад

I like your video. This is the first time tiling I'm tiling my kitchen what you did was came off the wall 20 in with your plywood I don't understand coming off the wall from one end to the other how would that be a straight meaningyou put your first tile a 16th of an inch away from the board the plywood then you marked alongside your tile then took a measurement from the wall again and came up I believe with 31 and 1/4 in drove a nail in went to the other end measured again 31 in a quarter then using a chalk line snap the line on the floor don't understand how would that be perfectly straight? I hope you can make me understand how. I followed everything else pretty good but I just don't understand how you did that and came out straight. Great video I hope to catch some more keep up the good work. Hope to hear back from you as I'm tiling my kitchen now I would not like to rip it up now thanks and keep the videos coming

@khDec1969 Месяц назад

What size spacers did you use? And by the way, you taught me well!

@CuriousH74 Месяц назад

Question: you measure from the wall but what if that room is not in a right angle? I was thinking that you would start at the center line.

Please tell me you tile where the dw goes…so many builders don’t do it. Hassle when replacing dw with something the owners want.

I actually do not tile there. I have not ran into a issue not tiling under the dishwasher. Dishwashers have adjustments on them to level up the floor easy. I hope that helps!

@beachboardfan9544 Год назад

I dont really see the point of the chalk line, you cant see it after thin set is down. Y not use a laser instead?

this guy is a " tiler to the stars ". 90% of what he does is not neccesary for a home DIY. having said that this guy gets paid absolute top dollar to do his work. he mentions an " assistant. " i learned so long ago - always keep an assistant - if you can find one. even a young man at 14 years is possible. pay appropriately ,,,

Bad idea you should tile the whole floor put cabinet on top of tile thats the way pro do it plus should use 1/2 trowel thats gone fail amateur work

@georgesedeno7891 Год назад

Yes save money now, but in case of wetness, wouldn't tile under floor cabinets more sense...?

@krehbein 10 месяцев назад

I would paint the osb, then put a bead of silicone between tile and osb so water can’t get in there. Another weak point is where the drywall meets floor, a generous bead of silicone will likely prevent a water leak from finding its way into the basement.
