Random (non-Jeep) Shit You’re Working On....

[OverlanderJK]

A shitload. The guys at The Tile Shop were helpful too. In my lifetime I've been lucky enough to be around some contractors doing it and two of them did it full time. So even years ago I have some memories of watching them. Lucky for me, this won't be heavily walked on or anything and with the stone we chose, any mistake will add to the cosmetic value.

If you need a tile saw I have one you can use. Might be too late.

Thanks. I appreciate it but for this small of a project we ultimately just went with a 4 inch blade for the hand grinder. It was cheaper than renting a saw. For a larger project, I would definitely want a saw.

Yeah I will end up needing to do a lot so I picked up a good table saw from a friend of a friend that was having an estate sale. Totally worth it.

Are you doing a lot of main room floor tile or just bathrooms and backsplash ?

How many YouTube videos have you watched?

He’s watched all the videos, he knows what he’s doing…

Showers and backsplash.

Got tiles set. Kind of a pain in the ass. The tile guy told me it may be. These tiles aren't exactly symmetrical even with a pattern so after the lay out, they have to go in the same spot. So a lot of pulling and gluing. Whereas in a square/rectangle setup, you can put the adhesive and then add the tiles. In my case, I had to pull tiles and leave other tiles there and put the adhesive around them. Either way, visually I'm happy. These things also are different heights. Hopefully the stove doesn't rock too much.

Tiled to the shower head today. Have to get a diamond disc tomorrow to make the cutout. Hopefully grouting by Tuesday night. That work thing always gets in the way.

Looks great!
