[MrDavidthepainter]

Great video! you should add to contractortube. com

Excuse me, but the cement backer unit should already be installed on the walls. I do not understand why you did that the way you did. Interesting. If you use the proper trowel then you do not need to remove excess thin set from between the tiles. I always dry set the tiles. I mean no offense, however, I have been doing tile since 1988. Over all, I wont like or dislike. Wondering why The center of the drain is not the starting point... Solarpasive

[fanspeed1956]

do you wait for the first coat of thin set to dry before you you put on the second coat? Thanks

[Solarpassive]

@fanspeed1956 There is NO reason to put that much thin set under those tiles. It will cause the possibility of deflection from plane while installing them.

[zzboobzz]

I HATE how everyone uses the word "pop" on all of these home improvement shows. It's the most overused word lately. ugghhhhh

[llazy1]

Btw- this was the second segment on this installation. In part 1 they poured the sloped base and installed the waterproof membrane.

[llazy1]

I am offended by the attack on laziness. I was born this way. I can do things perfectly well. I just take forever if I bother at all.

If they're doing a small shower and have to start removing the paper and cleaning the tiles they set first at the end of the installing of tiles, what happens when you're installing tiles in a large shower? Start at the front and work inwards, and only do 1/2 at a time?

[warisbs]

First off it is not concrete and if they used that they are dummies, you mud float that with fat mud mortar that is made out of portland cement and washed sand.

[AMNBOSSTOO]

Ignore the know it all A-h0le He's just picking on people here because no one will hire a jerk.

It makes him feel good to hide behind the internet like a coward and pick at random people he doesn't know

DABOSS!

He's on BLOCK and IGNORE

[datzfast]

she did the job perfect. any one wanting to do this your self including females , the main point of the video i might add,

just do it and save your self the agony of letting a stranger in your bathromm who will steal your drugs from your medicine cabinet or worse.

[phartattack]

Tile nipper for glass is a bad idea, you (WILL) gut yourself if you rub your naked feet on the edges! not to mention you wated 1/2 of each nipped 1x1 tile.

[datzfast]

you stupid shit, the nipped edges are buried under the wall tile are you really that fucking stupid?

[phartattack]

What makes you so sure that (ALL) the edges are hidden under the wall tiles you're the stupid SH!T and your Mom should have taught you how to act in public. YOU ARE USELESS!

[datzfast]

why wouldnt they be it is the edge dumbass. Their is no other place for them to end. you must do real shity work

or you have never worked at all.

[datzfast]

i watched your video and i saw no symmetry in your corners, symmetry would have been a mirror image you made no attempt to have equal pieces showing. no wonder your name is fart attack.

[mcgaugh57]

I'm starting to see you may be a jerk.

[datzfast]

im starting to see a lazy person.

[mcgaugh57]

Hahahahaha if not making an ugly mess and doing something right means lazy. Then I'm one lazy fuck.

[mcgaugh57]

Is this a Joke ? That is so not how to set tile.

[datzfast]

no ,its how you gauge for glass tile, pay attention.

[z28ace]

worst installation ever. this is why we charge more. because we have to backtrack and fix the dumbass do it yourselfers work. just hire a professional. you would try to do surgery on your own leg right? then go to a doctor when the surgery doesnt go right. cmno people, just pay a pro like me.

[datzfast]

i pay a pro to suck my cock and take it up the ass when my wife wont, you want me to hire you.

[HawaiiSurfer2008]

Didn't see her use a level after mudding the bottom to check for proper pre-slope.

Strike ONE.

Didn't see her use tile-spacers on protected(covered) tiles that are next to each other on the floor.

Strike TWO.

Didn't see her use tile-spacers on the snipped edge tiles.

Strike THREE.

Didn't use a level while setting tiles to check for slope.

Strike FOUR.

You are so FIRED!

[datzfast]

its a sloped floor, the distance across the wall is less than the distance wall to wall at the drain. spacers on a sloped floor?

you have never tiled a sloped floor have you.

[CountdownBMW]

*use a saw next time. instead of snips.

a 15 - 20 min job vs. all day.

[datzfast]

no sir, a saw would be a five minute cut job, the nippers would save you a shit load of money for such a small one time

once in a life time, job.

[mcgaugh57]

Wow you are so wrong it's comical. Nipping that glass is stupid and a waste of time. You can cut it with a wet saw in no time. And the mess of thin set at the end is a complete job fail.

[datzfast]

yes i can cut the 8 to 10 feet of edge in about 5 minutes, but she can nip it and save a shit load of money. as for the mess a wet sponge works perfect. Try it some time yourself

[mcgaugh57]

You really thing nipping glass is the way to do it ? Fragments going all over, cuts from the glass a huge amount of waste from breaking and a huge amount of time. A do it yourself tile saw is under $100 and saves a lot of work. And thin set coming up like that in small tiles is a unnessary mess.

[Solarpassive]

@mcgaugh57 No, never nip glass tiles. Use either a wet saw or a glass cutter. That makes no sense at all. A proper glass cutter is a wheel on the end of a shaft with different size notches in the opposite end. Less than 10 dollars.

[mcgaugh57]

@Solarpassive Not following you, I said use a tile saw not nippers.

[Solarpassive]

@mcgaugh57 I agree, either a tile saw or a real glass cutter, its a tool easily found at the hardware store. It is not a nipper. You scribe the tile, then place a piece of wire on a table and lay the wire under the scribe mark. Hold down one side of the glass then tap the other side with a proper mallet and the tile breaks right on the line.

[mcgaugh57]

@Solarpassive Still wet saw is the way to go here, cutting 1" tiles with a score and snap method is iffy at best.

[Solarpassive]

@mcgaugh57 I personally own three wet saws and the smallest was less than 100 dollars and fits on a table top. Wet saw is the way to go. And agreed, with tiles that small score and snap is "iffy".

[FireAce44]

Looks like they have slope and proper waterproofing. And yes, the floor goes in first. Wall tile then overlaps floor somewhat and hinders water flow into area where floor and wall meet.

[locoloco3]

yeah now work on the walls and scrape your new floor or drop something on it and drestroyed lol... floor is the last one in friends

[datzfast]

well, the floor still goes in first im sure if you dropped your hammer it might break a little glass square, but if you tiled a floor

before you bend over and grout a new one in. hey, you have never done this have you?

[swimmerstevieg]

was there a pre-slope?

[normanmj]

I hardly doubt it. These DIY shows are telling people to do things ass backwards.

I've seen many episodes where she lay's a pan liner directly onto a flat subfloor with no preslope.

DIYers, these videos are a sham.

[nashnwo1234]

ugh... that glass tile with the paper on the front is such a nightmare to do well. im curious to see how well that job came out when it was done because that stuff is one of the hardest things to set as a tile setter. seemed odd they were chomping off those cuts with a regular tile nipper too...hope they attempted to smooth those edges before putting it on a floor where wet bare feet will be sliding around haha
