you are such a hack. that hardy backer will last about a year before it transmits cracks up through the tile. thanks for posting it. You sold me.I am subscribing because i need the bad installer examples. Thanks for all the work that i have to fix behind you.
Im doing a bathroom job. i pulled up the old tile and there is wood under it...i understand i have to put a cement backer board down, but do i have to put mortor down first before i put the backer board down? the wood is old and im thinking the moisture will soften the wood and when it gets hard it will shrink the wood causing it to crack and be unstable. should i just lay the backer board without the mortor? or do i need the mortor under it? the bathroom is up stairs...
Getting ready to attempt my first tile job. Noticed you spread the grout over the whole tile instead of just the seams. Is that just because it is faster?
@5277407 if you installing tile, just go over the linoleum other wise rent a floor sander for concrete at home depo and it will scratch everything off
at this moment right now,their redoing my apartment kitchen floor and doing a CRAPPY job, instead of him removing the old tiles to fix the wood under, their just adding a mass amount of plywood on TOP of the old tiles and old wood smh...i don't understand why their it this way. would you say he's cutting corners?
I think you do great work, good enough that I would hire you. But I wouldn't go so far as to call myself a master tile setter if I were you, Journeyman at best. You have a good eye for detail but are lacking in some areas. Otherwise great work.
well.... sometimes it goes easy..... sometimes not, if it is glued down well You just need to be patient and remowe whole thing, i would start from remowing quarterrounds that usually holds linoleum, u can also cat linoleum in to smaller pieces - it will help too.... good luck to you budy- u gonna need it :)
Stop by your local "Big-Box" store...Depot...Lowes...Ace Hardware...or even Harbor Freight, and pick yourself up a heat gun....and a heavy duty scraper...and apply the heat evenly over a 2 foot section at a time...and just have at it...until its all up! Works for us! Good Luck!
Hello: Just wondering how your 4 layers of linoleum removal went. I'm in the middle of the same project. How did you get up all the adhesive and backing? What method did you find most successful. Hope you don't mind me asking. Thanks
I will check out the website. You make the gout job look easy. My grout didnt spread that easy, but I think it turned out alright. The tile job looks great. Im hoping to do the rest of my house in tile in the next couple of weeks. Nice video.

Matching flush mount floor registers sure would have given the job a finished look.
