Great video. Simple and to the point.

Also, a big boy tile saw with a rolling tray will pay for itself after the first few jobs

Better to butter back the tile and the wall, no doubts about the tile gripping the wall if you do that.

Haven't seen that type of spacer before. Will look out for them. You should do corner tiles last - especially if your corner is not perfectly plumb/straight. You need to cut them to the angle of the corner.

Really good video, whistling in the background audio was really irritating, I had to turn down the volume and put captions on.

So... you don't put motor on your backer board? Did you use backer board?

Such a helpful video. Thanks!

Oh wow, you are just so wonderful at demonstrating and explaining, and your pro tips are invaluable. I am starting tiling in my bathroom this week, and will be referring to your video for sure. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise 😍

👍 THANKS

Good job lesbians, some of yal are more useful then males

So helpful thank you

Where do you start?

You make it look so easy, but I've never been successful laying nice and neat rows.

I could be wrong. Not all Subway tiles or stackable but it looks like you're putting spacers on stackable tile I don't understand the concept of that but I could be wrong that could be rectified edge but they're beveled so they're not rectified I'm willing to bet they have a pre-manufacturer lug on them so why space them.

Thanks for this, now I'm looking forward to tiling the laundry wall instead of dreading it.

bad sound

Imagine having money to do this

It is not at all recommended to only "back butter" the tile when applying it - this is a good way to ensure you have preventable issues down the road. Especially with floor tile you won't have even support beneath the tile and it will be far more likely to break. Mortar needs to be keyed into the substrate, then applied with the notched trowel - back buttering is an extra step done with the flat side of the trowel to provide additional guarantee the tile will make full contact with the mortar. Also should be moving the tile up and down the same distance as your notches are wide so you actually knock the mortar down and don't end up with air behind.

Also if you want it to last the most important step is prepping your floors, and wall with the correct products. Ie cement board, or membrane. Also making sure the floor is level & straight. Also when buttering a tile, the surface you place the tile on, also needs mortar, or you will not get the correct coverage.

were these 4x12 subway tiles? if so did you run into any issues?

Thank you, now all I have to do is convince my husband I can do this. ☺️

I’m a tiler and I hate to sound horrible here but I’m afraid this is not at a standard where I personally could leave the customer or location like it I’m sorry I’m just being honest

Thank you !

Great tip regarding cutting a semi circle 👍

Material list on comments , tho

As a tile contractor. It’s very very inefficient and way messier if you butter the tile. Just butter the whole wall and slap them up

hhhmm, you say your making the cuts @ 3.27 of the video but it's MAN HANDS *

thanks for the tutorial. also love the wallpaper -- would you mind sharing where you got it from?

Cant really agree with your preference of a wet saw. They are pricier, make a huge mess and are actually good for smaller tiles. If you are tiling a tile of 120x60cm for example it will take you ages.
As a normal diamond cutter has the job done in seconds. Furthermore you can just use an angle grinder with a diamond blade for the complicated parts.

I neeeed the name of that song :) great video btw

Hi great video. I was just wondering if you could please give us one advice or video on how to tile a washing machine? Thanks x

Hi does a tile stick on a phenolic plywood?
