[@jimweyland15]

Was concrete board used and what was used on the seams of the membrane?

[@Boo-pv4hn]

My current floor is tile, how do I go about removing this please? Also pet of the floor the concrete has been laid on fake wood flooring and so it’s all broken up. How do I go about laying concrete level to fix this

[@Lunar_Raven]

You know you got the right guy to do your tiles when his name is Tyler.

I approve this message

[@kevingage6676]

This is the first video I watched from this channel. It crossed my mind that they did it on purpose. You will always remember this is the one you watched.

[@Sumfinfunny777]

I just started working as floor associate at Home Depot and im watching your videos so that I can be better at helping customers 😅

[@drulamane]

Damn they ain’t train u? 🤣

[@billymacktexasdetective5827]

​@drulamane The requirements to work at lowes, home depot etc are a pulse and a clean drug test. 99.999% of the people working in those places know NOTHING about anything they sell... And the companies aren't wasting money to train people...

[@mikesutch2333]

Same lmao

[@antiqueantics]

omg sameeee

[@louisfain]

5 minutes into the video I decided to hire somebody to re-tile our bathrooms. Your video made me appreciate the amount of workmanship into tile work a lot more.

[@nicholasyoung8657]

Same lmao

[@EricRodriguez-cx9ug]

Same lol

[@bobgillis1137]

Its enjoyable...until you are in your late 60's. Gonna have to rebook my acupuncturist and massage therapist soon. !

[@ty-nt8fz]

Lol

[@ty-nt8fz]

Ur not just paying someone to do it cause u do not want to or do not no how, it's because now u have to go buy all the tools and everything else

[@smeldaroses2082]

Best no BS video about how to tile fo DIY'ers I have seen to date. Thanks man!

[@tylersmith1029]

The consistency of tile that you are doing throughout your house is really nice. Thank you for showing common obstacles and how to overcome them with simple solutions, as well as other ways to solve a problem when a tool happens to fail. The house projects are looking great! Keep up the great work and well-produced videos to make the process much less intimidating.

[@CrazyAustin48]

Your editing skills are FANTASTIC! You have the same ideology as most children shows..lots of transitions perfectly timed for right when my attention span goes out. Keeps me interested. I love it! I think I’m going to do my tile job on my own.

[@georgeeads8689]

Great job Tyler. Good info. I have one suggestion. Knee pads. Take it from a 62 year old that didn't use them. My knees are not in good shape.

[@foofstarr4856]

I saw him wearing knee pads at one point. But yes definitely good advice!

[@bazzani21]

Knee pads or a knee pad. For sure a requirement. This coming from a 42yr old hvac guy

[@marymcune4222]

Thank you for taking your time to explain why you’re doing each step but also keeping the video concise! Feeling much more confident!!

[@bunssohawt4531]

I am looking at these videos to prepare for my future

[@RonRivet]

Well done! Thanks for the refresher. I've installed tiles before but you reminded me of a few tips that I had forgotten like having fresh water around at all times and not using the dirty part of the sponge on the tile with grout. Doing a tile job today. Appreciate the refresher. God bless. 😊

[@horsefamily32]

Thanks for this. I just bought tile for my whole house and I haven't tiled before. I was going to do hardwood, but I got the tile at a steal.

[@pauldemeules9927]

Tyler just a heads up, the toilet valve looks to be a threaded type. So you do have some options and I would suggest to use the ball type not gate type of shut off valve since the gate type will eventually stick (sometimes) then when you go to shut it off then it can start to leak. Anyway, after replacing all my gate type shut off valves with the ball type (they do make them nice chrome so they don't look any different) it makes toilet or faucet repairs so much easier.

[@pichapie123]

I think this is the most detailed I’ve seen and you covered every step. Thanks!

[@antoniotovar7426]

Thanks Tyler, I just installed my first tile floor and your guidance help me a lot

[@TheStellaRanch]

I will be saving this video to use it when I tile my house. Very good tutorial!

[@larryfinfrock4857]

Tyler, your enthusiasm and clear friendly instructions make you a jewel in the diy world. Just see on shining!

[@dubsdaboss6126]

What kinda board was that you layed

[@mender722]

Thanks for the info. I happen to be putting down 6X24 tiles with wood grain pattern. I just picked your video at random. Time to lay some tile in my new cabin. I did wood floor yesterday.

[@karenkeller5936]

Best diy tile work I’ve ever watched. Wonderful and detailed job

[@ercieyyy]

You didn't only install the tiles, also made a craft out of it 👍 I thoroughly enjoyed when watching your skills and tips at building the tiles. CONGRATULATIONS

[@ynotmz5954]

I'm going to tile an outside fountain and this information is really helpful for cutting round sides of a tile. Great job.

[@DIYTyler]

Glad it was helpful!

[@fredmcclendon9791]

This is a very good video. I learned a lot that will help me. I have done tile before and I still learn something every day that helps me.

[@michealfletcherjr.3125]

Thank you. I have an unexpected tiling project for our remodel. My cousin gave me this video and I feel much more confident about what I have to do. Thank you!

[@evielknievel4972]

Thank you for showing us in basic terms. Your job turned out beautiful . Keep up the instructional videos .

[@Socrates458]

So Tyler became a tiler. I’ll see myself out. That floor is very well done. I’ll have to give this a try myself when we redo our floors.

[@danielleterry2331]

Thank you I am laying tile tomorrow for my hearth for my wood burning stove, I liked how you did the 3 cuts I will be doing mine like this. Happy new years

[@klauslgeiger]

Good video. Clear explanations without talking too much.

[@cesarorellana8568]

Here I go to my first tile installation. This is good, thanks sir

[@yepper1165]

The colder the water the slower it sets, and more open time. And you need diamond grit hole saws for porcelain tile. The laser is cool but it's quite easy to just measure over and make a pencil mark on the set tile to line up your next one.

[@bryn3457]

Real good. The tip on how to use the sponge is worth the price of admission alone.

[@davidrobins4025]

The first of several I will watch - planning to do a basement bathroom floor on concrete - about 70 sq ft. Thanks for the good information.

[@DIYTyler]

You can do it!

[@Blackdog4818]

I'm planning the same project in a bathroom. 1) Would regular mortar work with Ditra? 2) Is the 33% stagger because you're using such large tiles? 3) Did your toilet flange have to be raised because of the Ditra/tile heigth?

[@landonmorales2841]

THANK YOU!!! now I can make my dad proud:)

[@AlanSextonVT]

Ah, man, Tyler... If my wife sees this I'm ruined, haha... If she does, I'm flying you to Vermont to do ours! Phenomenal work, solidly built and looks great!

[@lxvliiq4647]

So did he work there?

[@paulortiz8063]

Hi: 1) How many hours did it take you to do this floor? 2) How many hours do you think it would take a guy who has never laid tile to do the same job? 3) Is it easier to tile with 4x4 inch tiles rather than those much larger pieces you used? What are the pros and cons of using smaller tiles vs larger pieces. (Some tile is 24x48 inches! And $50-$80 each, so I would hate to damage those. And it seems it would be difficult to use a tile saw with such large pieces. 4) when laying travertine should I fill in all the tiny holes with grout or leave them open? 5) could someone use a pastry bag with the grout? And squeeze the grout into place? So you don't have to wash that grout haze off--- like 4 or 5 times. It seems a never ending process to get the tile clean at the end. Any tips on that, getting the tile clean? So you aren't washing the floor over and over and over! 6) if tiling a shower should the tiles be a different size on the floor vs the walls? Style wise, would it look better? What would you do in your shower: Use different size tiles on the floor and walls, or use the same size on both surfaces? Thanks a bunch for your insights!

[@CubicalLaboratory]

The fact that your name is tyler makes this 10x better

[@easyasabc1232]

Hey, thanks for teaching us Mr. Tyler!

[@easlandscaping]

Excellent video, about to re tile our entryway and haven't layed tile in about 15 years so this was a great refresher!

[@GongaDuck]

Looks like you're living up to your name again! DIY Tiler! Hehe! Great job as always, Tyler!

[@jeffreyalbin101]

You are really good at tile . Making it look easy is a gift also calm organized and all the tricks . I was looking for a hack vid small space only did tile one time and it was as ffed as a football bat . Good job I now have a clue I did not have to pay for in a demolition video BONUS !

[@dieselstar5]

Wow, great work. I have the exact same tiles but in 8x48. 🙂

[@CathleenHalash]

I found a job that has an apprentice / assistant listed for a tile setting job up by me and the pay seems pretty well 15-20 an hour starting. Wanted to see what the process was like. Does the time go by wick with this job?

[@CCGDude]

[@saltrocket1909]

Great video. I really wanted to see how you cut the circles for obstacles.

[@victorledesma9995]

This guy knows his stuff. I know some hacks, that would have screwed up that u- cut, Around the valve.

[@TheJennyg76]

Very nice job on the video and the floor

[@lardo444]

Thanks dude. It looks GREAT. That helped a lot.

[@beatatuscano4980]

[@lamontjackson2939]

Thanks Tyler. This was very helpful!

[@kingwham7195]

Thanks Tyler. This really helps with my work exsperince. Easy steps to follow and the video is enjoyable. I'll definitely be subscribing

[@-_.Nameyourcatdog._-]

Tyler the tiler good work

[@ItsNotScruffy]

to grout you go diagonally, just so your grout joints dont get thin >.< and you only need to use a sealer on pourous stone, aka 511 sealer

[@tylerrobinson1149]

You can use water on your hole cut bit, just setup the tile at the saw, begin drilling your hole and pour slowly water from a bottle. It will help.

[@weekendhomeprojects]

Man, that looks good!

[@frankperez7019]

Awesome video. Thank you. I feel confident that I can do it. Yay!

Like how descriptive you were. Looking to do some of my own tile projects so i will definitely be using your video again. Thanks

[@brianturneresq]

Tyler, honestly...this was amazing! Thank you.

[@NathanTilesTheWorld]

Great video. Ditra really is a phenomenal project. Great work, and attention to detail!

[@Valetic6]

Definitely gonna just meticulously pry each staple out with a hand tool

[@carlosmunoz7934]

You know you got right guy when your tile setter looks like Enrique Iglesias 💋

[@darrenbeadman2322]

Very enjoyable watch ....You did an amazing Job... Floor looks great .

[@FR33PIZZABOY]

That looks like a lot of effort just for for tiles not everyone got money to buy all that but you done a really good job

[@nicktaran4703]

Freaking Amazing Job Sir! Very informative! Thank You! I do have a question....if I were to cut designs out of wood to create an elaborate artistic design...would I still use mortar to secure the wood to the floor and grout in between the seems?

[@alphaomega311]

You wouldn't want to use mortar to secure the wood u could use mastic adhesive which is more of a glue. Wood expands more than tile so u would have to leave a joint between the tile and use a matching grout caulk.

[@nicktaran4703]

@@alphaomega311 Thank you sir!

[@adebayoramon9259]

Thanks Tyler. This really helps with my work exsperince. Easy steps to follow and the video is enjoyable.///

[@tommac5411]

You need to look into Schultz-Ditra underlayment.

[@DIYTyler]

You mustn't have watched the video.....I used Schluter

[@tenprinthello8127]

Heehee Tyler the tiler. Have a like.

[@crazycrackalacka]

This video was fire!

[@wno1043]

We used Ditra a couple of times. Not my favorite. Hardibacker was our preferred underlayment. Set in a mortar bed, of course.

[@Cafeconconcha2004]

I love Ridgid ❤
