Home Improvement Today?

Why did you fill the holes with thinset prior to laying tile? The installation videos show just troweling it into the holes, combing it, and laying tile.

I'm sure your way will work, just curious why you did it that way.

 

You can do it either way . Yoda likes doing it this way when laying a larger format tile because with so much thin set underneath it gets to be a lot to move around and there is a sag potential plus prefilling means you can mark your layout boss lines and be able to see them without burying them in thin set trying to fill the Ditra

 

We got about 1/2 the floor down today . Back at it Friday .

 

wow, looking great already! ...good pattern.

 

Its a heated thin slab over framing

 

so, what are you trying to say?

 

Your dad paid more to keep his milk cold ?

 

Looks great! Now I'm curious why you're laying the tiles like that. Is that to make the room feel wider or just because you like the way it looks?

 

Looks great! I did very similar tile and layout and pattern in my bathroom. The wide tile really helped my skinny bathroom look much bigger.

 

Like what ? You mean the orientation or the brick bond pattern ?

 

Orientation.

 

Like mentioned above , that orientation widens the room visually plus will be the same orientation as the wall tiles on the back wall of the shower , and I personally prefer to look at a brick bond pattern square to it rather than down the long axis of it

 

Todays tile progress postponed until tomorrow , big storm last night caused some issues that need to get dealt with

 

Yoda had to get a big fir by his house removed today and 2 of his greenhouses were damaged by the wind

 

In other news I decided to correct my mistake and went and purchased that good 10" wet saw I posted earlier before cutting all my wall marble

 

Not that I know of
