I've never tiled walls before, gotta learn how to do it. I still need to tile my front entry, been putting it off. Laying the tile isn't bad, grouting is a PITA!

 

Same as floors really, if they are heavy you will need to use spacers. The only time shower walls get tricky is if you have recessed shelves or crazy stuff like that. I have even tiled ceilings before, its pretty amazing how much suction you can create with mortar and a notched trowel

 

I just have a small area to do as a backsplash behind my stove and will likely use a small mosaic tile. Doesn't look too hard. Youtube taught me to tile floors, I was planning on going back to figure out how to tile walls also

 

Me but I wasn't there Between burning and clearing the limbs that fell last winter, starting the pool opening, and the general shitshow of my father in law there is no way I was leaving the house..

 

Its pretty much the same thing. Mosiacs can be a pain to cut, break out the dremel for those, especially if it has glass tile. Use a grout float to press the matts in, if you try to press them into the mortar with your hands you will end up pressing some in to much, they wont flush out and to mortar will fill up the grout lines, thats no fun when that happens.

 

hahahaha! dude my in laws live in VA... good spot for em.

 

Sweet..hit Margaritaville there, great food

 

reg cab is Fred

 

Like Evan said, same basic idea as a floor. Not sure if you saw my Jacuzzi but I did the tiling on the wall and sides of it..I have a nice wet tile saw that you can use when you get to doing it.

 

Chara's is exhausted after a day of wheeling...

Mike did you quote the wrong post?

 

Good advice on using a grout float, thanks! No glass in the mosaic, I've heard they are a bitch to cut so I specifically avoided them.

Thanks! I have a wet saw already in the basement on loan from my old man.

 

That's adorable haha

 

Did anybody see the moon tonight? I just got home from picking up Joshua and at 10:25 the moon was this really cool huge orange ball, just over the horizon. Pretty cool.

 

TSA asked if I had any drugs recently. Apparently i look blasted. Just flat out exhausted. Going to pass the hell out on this flight

 

So I broke my sun roof cover (the sliding piece of the headliner), messed up my alignment, and my spare and tool bag flew around the back, pushing my reverse light mount through my headliner... god damn!

 

I didn't do an alignment after my front end work. On my way today my wheel was cocked. Now it's dead perfect lmao

 

You should have been like, no, but i'll gladly buy some if you're selling

 

Next time remember we aren't prerunning and you'll be good

Did you make it to IRA Milford and get the alignment fixed?

 

Nah they closed at 5 :/. I did get my fox rear shocks though!!
