Same here. 20x20 .not more. I can't stand 24s..

 

. I can't stand 24s..

24s get a little freaky...had customer order some 36x24 spanish ceramic...that was pain.

 

I did see a video Todd posted when cleaning grout.

Yep..that was with us. 6"x6" quarry. We had a good day. Both setting and grouting.

 

Working on a basement floor in North Haven, CT. Old carpet had to be removed and it needed SLC poured over the entire floor. It's 460' and will be 16x16 tiles.

 

Action shots from this morning.

I like these - LOUD MOUTHS

6"x12" tile in a herringbone pattern going in later this week.

Can that loud mouth be used on laticrete heat floor?

 

Orlando...er I mean Pepito...Don't you have one of these:

My first Laticrete heat job I bought the full kit which comes with one. Now, I only need to buy the mat and thermostat. Works well for me :thumbsup:

 

Tile backsplash installation in Springboro, Ohio.

Btw, that's not me in the picture..

 

Why didn't the countertop matching backsplash come down first? That's a pet peeve of mine. I get sometimes you need to keep them up but.......yuck!

 

Now that!! Is a backslash.. Nice!

 

Tiling away using Ultraflex 2, Have to pull off this job tomorrow to wrap up another.

And that is me in the pic.

 

Nice splash Matt..had help on that one or is that a sparky?

I only do what they want. I agree with you, and recommended removing it. But at the end of the day, they tell me what to do. :thumbsup:

 

I usually follow my countertop guy when doing backsplashes so some of the time, they were talked into the 4" granite splash. A few times, I've been able to talk them into tearing it down....but after just paying for it, they don't usually agree.

Help always.

 

With all the projects you cover, it would be near impossible to work solo.

BTW, nice looking website. :thumbsup:

Yuck :laughing:

 

Exactly!

 

Yes I do goose , I have 3 . I order kits because its cheaper.

 

I got a great deal on thermostats so I bought a case. Now I just need the mats so that's cheapest for me now.

I look at it as it would be an injustice to my customers to pay my rates to clean buckets and sweep floors.

 

Man do the drywall crews make a mess.

We covered this floor with Ram Board and left it spot less - the taping crew set up in the ensuite like it was working on a concrete slab. Buckets of water. Spilled out drywall mud. Dust. Tools. Crap everywhere.

Man do I hate this. The general lack of respect to a tile man's work brutal here in Vancouver.

This is the part I hate about not being the GC on the whole project - putting up with this dip ****s...

Second job with the Aqua Defense is ready for floor heat. The shower past inspection and we will get the heating cable installed and covered and then bring more waterproofing over top and lap into the shower.

Man I know what you mean...don't you sometimes wanna shoot sons of b?

 

We are installing a low curb around the glass block wall. The curb or rather the facing will be 1 1/4" off the glass blocks and about 1 3/4" high.

I was thinking the floor tile would look the best.

I'm also going to do it in 8" sections and am thinking I'll have to cut the top pieces 8" across the back and maybe 7 3/4" across the front to keep an even grout line.

Never had to tile a curved glass wall base before.

Tub goes in tomorrow. I wish I did a better job selling the LED lighting option for this wall. Imagine the entire wall glowing 'White' 'Blue' 'Red'

The picture with the glowing glass blocks are fiber optic lighting from Pittsburg Corning. Looks cool.

 

That purple wall is some straight up Boogey Nights decor!

Grouted this morning.

 

Mud bed Monday,waterproofing today,filled with water and ready to install tomorrow.
Installed DalSeal TS with DalBond on the floor and about 6" above, used thinset for the rest.

 

Hey Sam I usually cut off the non-fleece covered section on that TS Stock. If I need it for coverage I find that a couple coats of liquid membrane first make the adhesion of thin-set easier.

I like the tape on the edges. I'm going to through in some regular masking tape in the tile box. :thumbup:

 

Gonna be a bit busy this weekend! 1800' quarry. Start today,turnover monday morning!

 

Craig,
Did you make a permanant switch to SpectraLock?

 

Matt, turned out nice. Good job cutting the tile around the wood trim.

Looking good Astor.

Evan, where's this project taking place?

 

That's a lot of two-fiddy-tree...

 

finished a mini subway Carrara marble backsplash tile installation today in Clearwater, FL.
here's some shots the customer sent me today that they took last night.

 

Nice job Brian, did you do the floor also?
