    CLOSED NOW - Morning Thread (and General Daily Discussion - Certainly during COVID)

    Working on a job about 1800 sq ft over in Richmond, TX. Doing cuts right now. Cuts will take another 2 days most likely then grout and trim. Not too much furniture so it's going smoothly. Hope everyone is doing good.

    Anybody still use Mapei??

    The company I work for sells Mapei LFT for thinset. I use the rapid setting mortar as well. As well as their crack isolation membrane. They work great. The beef I have with Mapei is their grout.

    Tile lippage - shall I stop the work?

    That looks exactly like the tile which was installed in my brother in laws house. There may be lippage because plank tiles like that are known to bow. I've had problems with these in the past and have told customers about this and they've ordered different tile as a result. An easy way to check...

    First question on here.......

    I'm personally responsible for 2 years, anything after that, the company pays is responsible. I always make sure that the floor is clean of all dust, particles, and debris before I install. If you aren't back buttering then it's important to push down and side to side to ensure the tile is...

    I already learned something new. I'm guessing it's less time consuming and more perfect.

    I usually build my own shower pan. Or work off of one a plumber has already built (not recommended). I've never even worked with a preformed tray. Which do you prefer?
