Looks good Inner10 !:thumbup:
I fail to mention those things and it seems Angus did also!
Thank you!
It is far from perfect though...I admit looking back the wonkyness of the floor was my demise. I should have marked all the high and low spots and started with the high spot and went out from there and keeping everything perfectly level.
The LASH system sure doesn't level anything (much like the instructions say). There are some places where the tiles are out of level just to avoid lippage...and some areas where there is slight lippage to compensate for a less than perfectly level floor.
Next time if I were to use the LASH clips I think I would mix the thinset a little thinner and use the bigger U notch trowel like Angus suggested instead of the 1/2x1/2. I found once the tile was dropped it was suctioned so strongly to the floor it was almost impossible to squish it down...and the 1/16" grout lines don't let any excess squirt out...so I did a lot of prying up the tiles and removing excess schmaltz with my margin trowel.
I took for granted how "self leveling" self leveling compound is...I also took for granted how much "workability" you have with thinset; you can't just muscle the tile into place.
I'l take some pictures of the errors when I get the mountain of dried thinset off the tops of them. :laughing:
Plus how do you guys keep your hands clean from mucking up the tiles? I had a grouting sponge, 5 rags and 2 buckets of water and I was constantly washing hands, switching rags, washing the sponge, wiping the edges of the tiles, cleaning the grount joints with a putty knife, wiping the tiles down (which didn't work around the LASH wedges) and still I made a massive mess.
