Does it work if I demoed the tile before install?

 

[PrecisionFloors]

Nice work on those steps. How much time did you have in it?

Everything took 3 days 1 day on stairs, 2 on floors. With a homemade jig it makes stairs a breeze

Outside of the cracked stack this one went pretty well.

Looks like a box was a bit more gray than the others.

I had that happen once on similar tile. I didn't notice until I took some pics.

Good looking work Rob.

You're an hour ahead of me. You need to go to bed. But thanks! It was a quick turn around for a sale. We did it on a shoe string budget.

You're an hour behind. You need to go to bed. :laughing:

Nick, that appears to be an outside, insulated wall. With the niches, how did you maintaining any insulation?

The last 2 marble jobs I've done have turned out like that. I used the marble and stone thinset. If anyone has any suggestions I'll gladly take them. We layed this floor out in the basement and everything seemed to flow nicely. Once the toilet and vanity went in it was less noticeable, we tried putting all the lighter colored stones to that side.

Yes it is. I didn't want to put them there, I started a thread about it a couple weeks ago. There was 1" of space between the niche and exterior wall so I loaded it with spray foam and set it in that.

You can also build out of kerdi board. Biggest problem is exterior work on the wall.

I started laying them out and snapping a picture. You can really see it on a small screen.

Nick, I had a similar issue with color variation on a backsplash. I believe the whole job required about five boxes. I just mixed up the boxes so the lighter tiles were spread out over the whole job as opposed to just all in one place.

I was just curious. I know the customer is always right even when they're wrong, but winters can be a bit cold up here.

 

[TNTRenovate]

I won't do exterior niches

That's what I wanted to do. Like you said, the customers always right. I layed out everything and she moved tiles where she wanted them.
