hey dominick i am gonna tile my bathroom and i am have been looking for relative inexpensive tile saws. what it the diffrence between a 4" tile saw and a 7" (besides4")tile saw u know the ones that look like mini table saws?is 7 or 4 better or is there no big diffrence

[DominickDiy]

@homesnakegabe Well that's a hard one. This will really depend on how much do you plan on using it. Here and there is OK for the smaller saws. That little table saw looking one is not on my list. The bigger the blade the better I always say. However I would stick with the 7" And as far as size, yes big difference

I'm installing porcelain tiles. Same procedure? Also, in the basement bathroom there is no sub floor, just concrete. Ok to tile onto concrete? Thanks. 

[DominickDiy]

@rgraff4098 Yes very same. Just concrete, that's what you want. Just lay it down right on top of it/ However upstairs make sure your wood sub floor is at least 1 1/4 thick and screwed down nice and good.

i see your tiling right on the wood floor there (sub floor) u don't have to use a backer board like a durock cause i want to tile my kitchen but if i use duraock for a backer i wount be abel to do that and tile and open the front door

[DominickDiy]

@homesnakegabe As long as your sub floor is at least 1 1/8 thick you'll be fine.

great video, i was thinking about making my own how to, but with guys like you out there, you've got it covered... maybe take the bluetooth out of your ear next time :)

Excellent Dom. What type of wet saw do you suggest for ceramic tile? Should I use the same wet saw for cutting backsplash tile? I'll admit I haven't done much research on laying and cutting tile.... but gotta start somewhere and your videos are very helpful
