I lost my dad when I was 17. Every once in a while, I find a “KZbin Dad” who makes me feel like I’m back in my childhood home, listening to my own dad as he’s teaching me to do home renovations. I’m 29 now and have fully renovated and sold my starter home myself. Friends and family call me for help with their renovations all the time. I’m looking forward to buying my “forever home” soon, and I’ll inevitably be leaning on my KZbin Dads for help when I do. Thanks for being a great KZbin dad, Jeff!

I just wanted to thank you - after two years of looking at damaged drywall when we removed the old 1991 backsplash in my kitchen, I used 3-4 of your videos to install a new one - from drywall installation, repair, tile setting, and grout. All while hubby was out of town :-). If I could post a photo I would; needless to say my husband was blown away and will never again argue with me when I want to tackle something myself. I will continue to check to see if you have tips for any new projects!!

The reason I watched this, was not to learn, but because I enjoy seeing where others have different habits etc. I have not tiled in years, but I did spend nearly 10 years working for an uncle. As a "saw-man", I was very well-disciplined, but, never got much of a chance to tile on-the-job, which is basically what pushed me away from this work. The only way I learned, was by being fed-up with not being given a chance, challenged. So , much like the gent in the video, I took it upon myself to tile my kitchen backsplash, kitchen floor, bathroom floor as well as the tub-surround. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you, for not making more difficult than it actually is. Your attitude, obvious patience, is something many others could make use of.

Thank you Jeff !!! - this video was VERY helpful for my project and saved me Thousands $$$ for what my tile guy wanted - one thing I wish you would have stressed tho - and that is the starting point. My back splash for my main counter wall is 18' feet long by 18" high, with a ~30" over range opening. I started on the left, just like you did and ran about 4 feet with great results, but then looking ahead to where the 48" range is going (we are not doing an accent over the range) - I realized that my grout lines would not be centered where the range will be. I don't think anyone will ever really notice since it is subway tile and the back splash is so long - but I urge you to recommend to folks to find the center of focal points and then work outwards in one direction from there. I did this technique on the other 2 counter areas with back splash (a 4' side counter and the 7' butler pantry) with great results - the subway is centered on the wall with matching cut pieces on either end. Thank you again, tho, I saved $8K by doing this my self - also many thanks to my cabinet guy (Donald - Woodshaper) - all my cabinets were all set on the same plane and laser level straight - made my tile job 10x easier!!

Dang, I would of loved to have seen you tile below the ledger board to see how you handle the unevenness of the countertops. My kitchen has both uneven countertops AND Cabinets. I'm hoping the caulk will cover the imperfections. Also, it seems like the recommended size tile is 3" so you can minimize cuts with an 18" width between counter and cabinets thus limiting your selection of tile. Excellent video and a great confidence builder as I try to tackle this myself.

What's your thought on him starting on one wall and working across instead of starting in the middle? I see possible issues when you get to the other wall...

Woooow! Video is almost 4 years old but still very informative. I'm going to do this. I've got around 50 sq. feet in the kitchen to do and will give a full report afterwards. Starting next week.

Jeff, what did you use for where the tile meets the counter top? Thanks!!

Yes I am trying to figure this out. Looks like a metal piece but then does someone give over that?

Do you put tile over the meter piece that is at the counter top?

Hi Jeff - thank you for this video! I am going to be doing our kitchen backsplash soon and your tips and tricks are super helpful. Couple questions for you: How do you deal with the kitchen corner? Do you continue the offset pattern around the corner or mirror the tile? What grinder disc would you recommend for subway tiles? How long can you wait until grouting and caulking?

On point and amazing!!! QUESTION: Did you use the transitional metal for the start of your second row up from bottom or is that the actual bottom row that was laid down first? The gap between the trash bag cover and the placement of the metal looks like it's the start for the second row? Brilliant idea's and tips on all your vids!!!

I am wondering the same thing, so how do you finish that gap?

This is really old, but judging from other videos he goes back and does the bottom row once above that leveled straight edge has dried
