Hermionesoul asked:

I am getting ready to tile over my white formica countertop with 18″ trqavertine tiles (yes, I already know this is not my best choice of materials, but will work for us). The countertop is 25″ deep. If I lay the tiles on the standard straight line, I end up with a lot of waste and an uneven look. If I lay the tiles on the diagnol, then the tiles have a depth of 25″ and no waste.

I think this will add a “designer” touch to the countrtop. Mom says it will look weird. Husband has no opinion. What do you all think?

Do I have to glaze outdoor tiles? Why do they look dull after laying?

Cheetah asked:

I have porcelain tiles in my kitchen and outdoor patio. The kitchen tiles look good. However the outdoor tiles which are newly laid look dull. Is there some glaze which i can apply to make them look better ?
The tiles have been laid just a month ago.

Be Still and know He’s God asked:

My dad layed tiles in his kitchen recently. He had some plywood type stuff that he layed them on top of so they are on a flat, even surface. But then someone told him he should have put a netting type stuff underneith the tiles too, to keep them from breaking. Is that very important, will his floor be ruined now?

Have you ever started a project and realized after you started that you haven’t the know how to do the job properly?

Then after the project is finished you look at the finished job and wish you had got someone in to do it? Or at least had the foresight to read up on a few tips before you even laid hands on tools! You have a reminder of your bad work every time you look at it, hmmm no thanks.

For the price, this course shows you step by step how to avoid costly mistakes, and that alone will pay for itself.

What do I mean by that? Well if you stuffed up your tile installation, even by a square yard you would have to relay the repair with more tile. The cost of a square yard of ceramic tile is more that the cost of this video course!

Can you afford to make a simple mistake?
On average a piece of tile costs about two dollars. Even though you are trying to do this all by yourself, we are going to be modest and assume you are a total genius with an IQ of 180 (your mom must be very proud) and you only break 10 tiles while trying to make a circle.
$10.00 × 2 = $20.00 That’s 20 bucks for one simple problem!
