I will for sure, thank you very much. I hope it works out ok, whoever sets it, especially letting the house freeze for five months a year. The old melamine was perfect, just ugly.

If I end up finishing this job I will take everyones advice and do my best. I've done plenty of work for myself ok, but it is different when someone else looking over your shoulder is paying the bills.

Yep I do

I think I should tell them I need a grout joint to at least use leveling wedges because of the amount of thinset needed behind these, what I consider large tile. The wedges keep a 3/16 grout line.

They just stock 1/4 or 1/2 Durock? board. Comes with special screws and mesh tape.

They also want it vertical so I am also worried about how flat the walls will turn out. I'm just their caretaker and want to advise them to get a pro but everyone is so busy, no one returns calls in our extremely rural area. Also, the home is shut down in winter, I mean all heat will be off.

It's an older home, that had 5/8 plywood with old school Melamine panels glued to it. I was going to screw cement board right over everything, tape and seal the joints and corners

I'm in inches over here so they are 12 x 24 x .375, 300 X 600 X 10 USING VERSA BOND LARGE FORMAT ADHESIVE

I am a non pro who has been asked to set some large tiles on a shower wall tight. is that recommended?

Hi all, has anyone used Alpha's PVA marble edge polishing discs? I need to polish some chlorine damaged travertine coping and waterline travertine. I've been cleaning and sealing it for a few years now with Lithofin products with decent results. Now the tile close to or in water are becoming...

OK, I finally bought 3 lithofin products. I had to wait till I drained the spa to do this. thats why its 5 months since the last post. I have mn power clean, color intensifier, and stain stop. I assume using them in that order is proper.I have a boars hair pad that was recommended for the power...

I have to lay it out dry to see. I thought if the 8s are too big, that a wider joint between them would make them even bigger, layed next to a 16 or a 8 and a 16 layed next to a 24

It seems like the distributors aren't interested in these details unless you buy tons and tons of tile per year from them.

I guess I can do either of the two latter suggestions but geez!! lot of extra work. Lucky I am not doing it as a job for someone that I quoted first! Tough to recreate the chiseled edge on hundreds of tiles or fill a finished room with grinding dust if I did set them first. I think I'll do what...

Hi everyone, I am a beginner starting another room at my home here in the US and want to do the French pattern again. Have unfilled unpolished chiseled stone and the tiles are 8x8, 8x16, 16x16 and 16x24. I understand the pattern but when you add the grout line to two 8's it ends up wider than...

Thank you Dan. I will browse through these before I do anything

Thanks, I would love to get these products but am in the US. are they or anything equivalent available here? I did try diluted muriatic acid in one small spot with poor results. The spa is painted with epoxy under the waterline and has had scale build due to high ph though this comes right off...

Hi All, A small swim spa has travertine coping and waterline tiles that are chalky white when dry. Not sure if it is the chlorine or something else. Is it a bad idea to use this type of stone around pools because of it's porosity? How should the problem be dealt with?
