I'm glad you showed the mistakes and overcoming them - that's exactly what Joe Homeowner (me) experiences all the time!

[@T.E.P..]

This whole series has been one of my favs. Spectacular job in all the ways. Hope you and the family have a wonderful memorable holiday and eager for Crafted Workshop 2022.

I work at The Tile Shop. I’m still a new hire but your videos are very helpful in my knowledge.

[@victorpapaavp]

The autofocus: "Hmm, this wall over here looks interesting!" Very informative vid! Always love watching your content, even when the camera isn't cooperating!

[@craftedworkshop]

Seriously, camera was very distracted on this one 😂

[@MohammadAli-cv8qm]

Nice Johnny loving the house how it’s coming out. GOOD LUCK

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks!

[@macedindu829]

I can't get over what an insane amount of work that is.

[@Coogfan1996]

21 down, cant wait for more! I have seen every episode of this build and really appreciate the detail and almost "How-to" like voice over you do. If (When*) I ever have questions for any home reno later in life, I could probably find the solution in this playlist. Mad respect for the quality throughout in this series

[@nicko198718]

Hey Johnny few tips, when laying mosaics using the grout boat and applying pressure can keep them a lot flatter and bind the glue in the mesh more consistently randomly pulling up a few throughout the job to check coverage. Mosaics always have a bit of variation on the sheet when pulling them out of the boxes and stacking them close by to get ready for install pay attention to how they are on the sheet a lot of the time it's easier removing problem mosaics cutting the mesh and installing them singularly. Also having a laser running or having reference lines premarked can make sure you don't creep your joints too much once grouted even 0.1 of a millimetre stands out and the human eye picks that up super easy. As a rule of thumb after you've cleaned your entire job (twice washed with lots of water changes 3 for this size floor) clean all your tools take a quick drink/snack break and come back with another clean bucket and sponge and give the whole floor/wall another final clean. You want minimal water in your sponge so it's damp but wringing it out doesn't drop any water apply solid flat pressure and move slowly. This will reduce efflorescence dramatically, another pro tip is the next day buff the tiles with a clean microfibre towel then vacuum adding water first will just keep the problem coming back and make more work for yourself, clean with water after buffing it! (Think of it like a teacher making the school kids bash chalk dusters instead of soaking them and more chalk keeps coming out eventually it does need soaking but if 90% is out before soaking it makes life easier) Triple check the bags because a lot of the time 24h cure just means trafficable, most grouts need a few days until full strength then you can hit it with any type of cleaner, until then warm water and white vinegar with help if you really screwed the pooch with washing off your grout. Final tip look into a liquid membrane next time thinset on plywood/osb is a big no no regardless of what Schluter say, a liquid membrane flash is one compound one consistent layer with no joins and no points of failure and is waterproofing unlike ditra which with joins and relying on thinset to stick and seal cracks is basically water management.

[@karenmitchell6814]

I like the grate you chose for the drain and the edge treatment of the tile around it. That version does look pretty easy to clean. 😉

[@revolve0265]

Damn, the bathroom construction arc is good so far.

[@Nijugarami]

Very nice, KZbin algorithm doesn't miss sometimes.

[@michaeladavis3428]

Its looking really good so far. Congrats man.

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks a bunch!

[@M1CK3YL33]

Love the hex tiles, nice end result. Keep up the great content :)

[@ivtec845]

The uncoup thinset is for underneath the membranes a good do all thinset would be a sh all set

[@francishoover8633]

nice job. clean those grout lines about an hour after laying the tile before the thin set dries all the way. much, much easier. also, using a spray bottle to keep the thin set moist gives a bit more working time.

[@Dayinthelifeofawiener]

For the corner of those cuts, take the tile off the sheet and hold the tile and move it into your wet saw blade with it lifted up off the table. Try it, you’ll like it, you can do some really detailed work that way

[@120Livi]

Looks fabulous and a lot of work!

[@h0yitsrachel]

Wish I found this series when it was finished. I’m so impatient!!! Great work man!

[@matthysloedolff]

Excellent video, Johnny!

[@sapelesteve]

Great work on that tiling job Johnny! Now I know yet another job that I won't be doing any time soon! Thanks........ 😉😉👍👍😂😂

[@craftedworkshop]

Hah, thanks! Lots of work but definitely rewarding now that it’s done!

[@EsperanzaMD]

I watched the video from strict the best video ever I love

[@tdimccullough]

to help get the grout haze off the tiles surface wipe on vinegar, it is a mild acid and should get the haze off easier

[@honeyagave]

Try Fusion Pro premixed epoxy grout. It is the best. Stain resistant and no sealant needed. Highly recommend. Sold at Home Depot.

[@Rampage4635]

Looks beautiful! Side note: I know these membrane systems are super popular now, but I just don’t understand how a hydrophilic material such as thinset is not going to hold moisture and leach water through the seams. It’s probably so little on a floor that it won’t matter, but shower pans make me nervous. Grout only keeps water out so long and not many reseal every year.

[@Rampage4635]

@Kevin A I’m just an armchair quarterback, but how is water going to flow through a dry pack mud base? Maybe once it’s saturated you will have a bit of flow, but once you turn off the shower, I think it would hold moisture. The topical membranes make sense, but the seems still slightly concern me. I used a paint on membrane on the three showers I’ve built.

[@Rampage4635]

@Kevin A I hear what you’re saying, and I don’t like dry pack pans either, so I used several coats of red guard all the way to the drain. If you don’t surface waterproof the pan, the weep holes are such a small surface are that moisture isn’t going to migrate out of there much. They hydrostatic pressure of a wet pan is going to push vapor out anywhere it has contact with a place with less vapor pressure(that’s not exactly right, but I don’t know the term for it when dealing with solids). Therefore it will dry more through the grout than it ever would through the weep holes. All that said, if you have a rubber liner under your pan, it doesn’t matter if it’s wet, because it can’t soak your subfloor, and with no organic material, mold should not be an issue. Either way my preference moving forward will be a one-piece shower floor or the foam pre-sloped pans. The point of my original post was that on his taped seems wouldn’t the excess thinset protruding outside the tape, draw moisture into the cracks? Yes it would be incredibly slow, and you’d probably have to have standing water to achieve it so it doesn’t matter on a floor, but in shower corners where you do have standing water, I could see it becoming an issue.

[@jamescozmosponheimer7849]

Nice work. Tip - never let the haze dry up - keep wiping ( wet then dry )

[@Up27am]

Go to homedepot and buy Grout Release. It's a soapy like clear gel that you apply with a paint roller to your tile AFTER you set everything in place. So basically immediately before you grout. It washes away all the haze. I learned the hard way like you my friend. Now I just soak it down with release then let it dry, I wash and wipe after grouting like you did but now the final clean up is very quick and easy with just a mop. No scrub pads! Also do yourself a big favor and buy grout seal ! You MUST seal all grout before use. Biggest mistake every when contractors don't even offer it let alone DIY know to use it. Game changer! Grout release and grout seal! Two must have products.

[@Anti-democratChick]

You are doing a great job!🥰 I am enjoying your videos.

[@jasonmarshall819]

Do u think u will build again or continue your wood working.house looks great by the way

[@scooper72]

No Prova band/tape on the joint between the wall and the shower pan? I see you taped that joint *outside* the shower, but if you did it in the shower stall, I missed it.

[@EverydayBuilds]

Tiling is no joke! That hexagon tile is awesome though. Who’s the designer, you or your wife? Lol

[@viankalobosvalenzuela7456]

Hermoso trabajo felicitaciones saludos desde Chile 🙏🙏🙏🙏🤩🤩🤩

[@grovve8960]

Beautiful!!!

[@craftedworkshop]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Senpany_kit_abuse]

You used the best grout on the market in my opinion but I’ve never heard anybody happy about how “slow” it dries. I’ve thrown away so many buckets of that grout where it has completely hardened on me in the bucket before I can even spread it lol

[@Senpany_kit_abuse]

And when you have running water close by you can avoid the haze if you clean the grout one last time washing your sponge out in the sink so it is perfectly clean water each time and your not just spreading dirt around

[@craftedworkshop]

Good tip! No running water in the house yet so had to get fresh buckets at the main house. Not a huge deal but definitely made me a little lazy on some of this 😂

[@guswhitehouse3896]

Fantastic work, Jonny! Really well done! 😃 But yeah, that's definitely not an easy job to do! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Why is the curb so high? I thought one advantage of the Schluter system is a minimal-to-none curb?

[@brucealturas9346]

Can you also do how to install baseboards?

[@NathanTilesTheWorld]

Great work hoss

[@honeyagave]

Amazing work. Well done!

[@YoungShifu]

Will you be putting a sealer on it?

[@lordfarquad229]

What was the transition strip you used?

[@HarryLovesRuth]

I so very much wish I had specd wrapping the tape up the wall from the floor. My husband apparently doesn't know how to correctly use a shower curtain, and the wall just past the shower surround is constantly getting wet.

[@ajmedeiros77]

I thought you have to use non modified thin set on that membrane??

[@gurshaanbasra3639]

I'm going to do my first tileing becauseof this vid, any tips?

[@craftedworkshop]

Watch a bunch of tile install videos, spend time figuring out your layout, clean up excess thinset before it gets too hard. Good luck!

[@gurshaanbasra3639]

@@craftedworkshop thx, I mean I only watched ur vid on this, I'm just going off of that, u seem very knowledgeable on this so

[@gurshaanbasra3639]

Also I have to make my own thinset because none of the stores sell it here pre-made

[@edwardannable5468]

Great video thanks for the info it helps alot

[@jbitile8241]

Not bad for a handyman

[@yanghagen1495]

The way to apply grout in the video will leave grout on the surface of the tiles and it’s pretty hard to remove. Your tile will become less shiny as it used to be. I would recommend to do that piece by piece and clean it before grout drying out. Overall the video guide ppl to do the right thing but somehow it could be a bit confusing in some details.

[@jasonautry24]

Does anyone have issues with mosaics falling apart once you get them wet at the tile saw?

New drinking game: take a shot every time he nose laughs while talking

[@Titantitan001]

You didn’t immediately realize it’s easier to cut it from behind? Interesting. That’s immediately how I thought to cut it cause of the ridges. Also good tip on telling people to dry fit if they are gonna diy. I’ve been doing it for so long that I have the products down where I don’t need it. But I see people make that mistake so many times. FA is great btw but be careful with it. It is a “rapid set”

This is not a diy project as much as schluter says it is. Please stop making people think it is. I give it 6 months and it will be a leaking shower and loose tile on the floor. Sorry but leave tile to the professionals.

Agree to disagree! Thanks though.
