👍 I like how you showed a mistake and then made it right. That’s what kind of contractor I want doing my work

Another great video. You guys remind me of when I first started watching the granddaddy of them all This Old House back when I was a kid. The attention to detail and willingness to redo something that was not to your standards is refreshing. Your customers must love you guys and I can honestly say your viewers do too. Keep up the great work.

[@generalesdeath8180]

I grew up watching This Old House with my Dad!

[@intensemojo]

You guys do beautiful work. Love the way you've thought it out, show the places you back up and try again. Very nice.

[@OneManSays]

I’ve never tiled, but I’m seriously impressed with the forethought you put into the layout.

[@shannonvaughan4385]

I’m glad to see you using the leveling system and what you said about the spacers. I have always had trouble with the spacers. I was wondering if it was a good system. I guess, now I know. Thanks. It is looking great.

[@50sKid]

I love how you guys stop to explain everything every step of the way. All the little details that you explain are what is missing from most other videos and those are the lessons you learn the hard way when you finally go to do the job yourself. I love it guys, keep up the great work. You are going to be a huge success on KZbin this year.

[@tommyis13]

Bathroom is looking fantastic, as always great content, great craftsmanship, attention to detail, with lots of tips and tricks too. Keep up the great videos.

[@joshuapak]

I enjoy your videos. I think I enjoy your relationship as much as how detailed minded you guys are in all that you do. God bless your family!

[@Practicaleyes]

You are obviously a great craftsman and a great teacher too. I am watching from the UK where we do things very differently but there is still loads to learn from your technique and your work ethic. Thanks for sharing your days with us.

[@info5583]

Awesome work! Paul the perfectionist, I love your attention to detail and how intent you are on making everything spot on. Even if it means doing over.

[@Mrcool12684]

You guys are awesome! Please keep giving detailed explanations and details on the products, it is super helpful and not done very often on YT.

[@budweiser9224]

The spacer wedge system is a time saver. I used to help a busy do tile work on large projects. We did several convenience stores and the showroom floor in a car dealership. These wedge spacers would have been so helpful!

[@syncrosimon]

Great work guys, lovely to see a craftsman at work. Thanks for sharing. Nice to see there are good people in the world still.

[@workmanshipbygrace8173]

It looks amazing! Can't wait to see the end results 👍💯💯

[@harveymanfrantinsingin7373]

Loving it, fellas! It’s coming out great!

[@Imwright720]

One of The many difference between an expert and amateur tile setter is layout. An amateur just starts with a whole piece and whatever happens happens. You sir, get it. Your a true pro. I am an amateur but I always layout my own stuff. I used a long square piece of aluminum screwed down so the first line is all exactly lined up. Leveling was tough and boy would I have loved your system. IT would of been a game changer. It took forever since the last floor was rectified porcelain that was almost butted.

[@MattLeFaitMusic]

I really like how you guys work well together, AND that you fixed the tub deck mistake. Good job!

[@Romezview]

Love your attitude towards work and the Importance you put on a high quality job. I have always loved KZbinrs who show their mistakes and the lesson learned aspect of...well we messed that one up. Let's get it pulled out and redo it. I am about to tile my Kitchen and all these setup tips and extremely helpful. Glad I found this channel. keep up the good work!!

[@stephennorton1321]

Love the videos guys......you give the feel of "regular guys" doing work. Keep up the great work....and keep the vids. coming!

[@tylernettestad]

One of my favorite channels. Great attention to detail!

[@Noeruiz1990]

Kuddos!! I was on my knees for a fews hours this week and i felt it 3-4 days after. 💪🏽 keep it up.

[@T.E.P.]

superb work guys!!!! love the channel all day everyday

[@phillipmonroy]

Great presentation! Keep up the good work!

[@lorenrickey5481]

Your videos remind me of the tv show Hometime. I like the fact that you explain things and then show it being done. Keep it up.

[@adriaan7627]

Thanks for explaining how to layout. Very educational. Will improve my shower for sure when I’m up to it. (Lots of other tasks to do first)

[@penguins9645]

Not only do you guys do great work, you do a phenomenal job of explaining everything, and your video production is really top-notch. That music montage at 2:35 was flawless with some brilliant transitions. Great work!

[@curiosity3365]

I watched because, I'm considering having my bathroom redone, I subscribed because you're frickin outstanding in professionalism & concise detail. Wished you're in Philadelphia, Pa.

[@matthewlall4277]

Finally! Stumbled upon your video. And yes, it's all about the details. This is the first video where I've actually seen the presenter explain what I and others go through daily. I'm very impressed with your attention to detail and it's that kind of attitude that what makes us craftsmen. Keep doing what your doing.

[@StudPack]

Thx Matthew 👍

[@rty1955]

Sir, you are a true craftsman! U pay attention to details and are knowledgeable on how to correct errors as well. I learned a lot by watching you work....you should create a DVD of your work for sale. A book would be nice, bit since you already created video content, it should be easy to create videos. Thank you

[@AnsolyQuinonez]

Beautiful work

[@jesseherman2453]

I am dropping the shower floor in the master bath at work right now. It will be a zero entry type for handicap use. Looking really good guys !

[@danielbartlett2381]

You guy are a blast to watch! Keep up the hard work.

[@gordonlam2757]

so many details on the lines, the tiles will look great

[@GoPowers]

You guys have such great attention to detail. If you lived near DFW, I would totally hire y’all simply based on this video series. Keep up the great work y’all!

[@jamescarswell4773]

YOui know so much about so much, your videos are great. However, where it comes to tiling, whether bath areas or floors, your ability to think through all the issues is truly impressive!

[@beasthunt]

Beautiful work, boys.

[@yousufkothawala270]

Now that's what you call professional 👏 👌

[@whocares6698]

That looks so good

[@randyrey4826]

Very Nice Tile work. I can appreciate that you operate and install tile in such a clean manner. No slop in between tiles. Talent and experience. Well done.

[@StudPack]

Thx Randy!!!!!!!!

[@AlexeiTetenov]

I'm hooked on your channel. I like the way you explain what you are doing.

[@psychotogen1]

Recently subbed to your channel. You guys are rockstars!

[@waughsey]

You do a good job you’re very informative I do the work a little bit myself and you and your son get along really well on the job

[@StudPack]

Thx Ricky 👍💪

[@lisafike8904]

Those self leveling tile spacers are so neat.

[@joeoathkeepernuno7086]

Outstanding brother!

[@earlreed9034]

Nice work guys 👊🏽💯

[@marjoriejudge5348]

great contractor skills - great music and camera work

[@tommywalker5348]

new to your channel 👌 i usually jump on knocking out those clips the next day . don't wanna trip all day going back and forth.😁 good video keep em coming 👍

[@Ifferish]

I'm not ever going to remodel a bathroom, but your personalities are magnetic and your well of knowledge runs deep. Couldn't stop watching if I tried.

[@StudPack]

Thx 💪👊👍

[@janpeterpilon]

Once again a great job guys! It's nice to see that you not only show the end result but also the ongoing process and that a job can almost never be flawless. That gives actually something to learn! One thing I wanted to recommend: please try to avoid removing your clips from the levelling-system with a hammer. You should either be very carefully with the hammer or willing to replace a chipped tile. Personally I always use a piece of wood or otherwise the back of my tape measure. Have a great day Stud Pack!

[@derrickyoung7449]

Awesome video

[@juliocintron8777]

Awesome work very professional I’m in Queens N Y and can’t get someone for a small bathroom that’s responsible and on time

[@gordym6134]

One of my favorite channels.

[@mrcryptozoic817]

I thought I knew how to tile until I watched you! Wow. I'd like to go back in time and redo a couple of jobs (fortunately, my own).

[@dvongartzen]

Excellent work! I've been following this entire series. But, I did cringe as I watched using a metal hammer to remove the leveling clips from the floor. Maybe pick up a white/gray non marking rubber mallet for that. Even while being extremely careful, it would be too easy to chip or gouge the tile. Keep up the good work! I can't wait to see how it turns out.

[@jessicahites871]

Gonna have to rewatch all your tiling videos before I attack the tile in my bathroom!!

[@Jameson1979]

Another great videos! Do you have a link for the leveling wedge?

[@disel1983va]

awesome work Sir I like the way you work it’s something it’s wrong fixed that’s the same I do we humans not perfect

[@rbarr1200]

That’s what I’m talking about , another STUD PACK video and more to come.

[@thisisurcapt]

Looks like professionals did this work!

[@info5583]

I’m convinced Paul is a freakin’ genius

[@aspenridgeranch]

It looks nice. I do have a question though....What are you putting along that edge where the tile meets the untitled wall to hide the backerbord and thin set?

[@SamLawlace]

"That's what you get for working late at night" Amen brother!

[@jcdominguez9243]

Invest into a good tile cutter like the montolit 63p3. I usually don’t even break the saw out on floors and you can use it inside with no dust

[@stevetile7989]

Looking good...

[@josephrottina1901]

You guys do Awesome work wish you were in New Jersey.👍🇺🇸

[@scenicnomad8744]

Nice video, thank you! I had one question about the piece of wood you ripped to go around the shower to make the tile level: Why not use your laser for this instead of going through the trouble of cutting the wood and drilling into the encasement?

[@jimbog8327]

The tiling is looking amazing. G’day from the land down under🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@joe800096]

You guys are my favorite tile guys. Sure is some beautiful work. Can you tell me what is the name of the tile leveling system you are using? and also assume you are using unmodified thinset? Thanks; Joe

[@manniesisneros6803]

I like if u make a mistake you fix it don’t leave great work integrity salute

[@tonybowers9490]

You guys do an awesome job. If you were near me I would keep you busy! :-) Question - Why do you use a wet saw instead of a tile break? (just curious, not questioning your method or anything) :-)

[@singhA1968]

even in the late evening you working hard , but always your face is in smile mode, is nice . Weldon

[@StudPack]

Thx 😃

[@stevebabiak6997]

Looks like cuts are well planned and tiles are fitted very nicely - at least so far ;) Would have been nice to show how you fitted that one tile under the door jamb in that toilet area, since the adjacent course has to not be in position to be able to slide under the jamb. Did you suggest to the owners to use a course of the floor tile on the shower walls, to give some added visual interest with a stripe or even two?

[@markphillips6154]

I notice how he scrapes out a little around the border of the tile to make sure there’s no squeeze out on the thin set that’s really neat

[@StudPack]

Thx for noticing Mark 👍💪

[@MyRoadRocket]

Looks great, as a tile contractor myself for the last 15 years, I can only shed a little warning on the 50/50 offset. Not recommended anymore. Check the specks on the tile. 1/3 is what is required for 12x24 tiles. But it’s still being done, but careful on your warranty if they fail.

[@StudPack]

Thx roadrocket. Yeah the box said 15-30% pattern. The owners wanted 50/50. I checked the tiles and they were perfectly flat so between that and the wedges it came out great.

[@Russ1367]

Love your work, it's great. Only thing I would have done differently is where the two walls meet in the shower I would have done small tile/big - tile then on the next course, big tile - small tile instead of small/small - big/big

[@StudPack]

I hear ya R Tee. Layout is the hardest part right 👊

[@mguerramd]

What is the airless sprayer that you like to use?

[@meatymouse9600]

i want to see a montage of every time Paul says "Alrighty gang"

[@hj8607]

Nice job . (at 00:13 the light reflection did , however , reveille a mistake in a previous painting where the drawer had been pushed close before dry and a ridge of 'stuck' paint is seen .)

[@StudPack]

Man you’re observant 👊 but that is the caulk line from the old false drawer fronts. New drawer fronts will cover hopefully 😳

[@tomkristman1456]

Nice workmanship. One critique is to put your tile saw pump in a separate 5 gallon bucket. Pump will last 10x longer.

[@diane5020]

I had my floor tiles done, unfortunately they didn't use levelling clips/wedge. I'm planning to repair some areas with lippage. My question is .. can you use these clips on repairs , meaning, I would be laying new tile next to some existing tiles, so the clip cant go under the existing tile. should I shave half the clip off, any ideas?

[@dilligaf2386]

These tiling systems are they any good I imagine they lift the tile slightly when you tighten them up. I've never used them. I see you tiled the two shower walls as two separate walls the brick bond doesn't continue at the right angle is this because when you set it out it wouldn't work.

[@davidsj7704]

You did not show putting up the wood board to hold the tile. Did you use screws and does that break the water proofing? What did you do to repair that?

[@juzDubbin]

I absolutely love the attention to detail! When you dropped that perfectly placed triangle corner tile into place, it was like watching the game winning field goal!!! Awesome work guys!

[@mjdamato]

Are the backsplash tiles sitting directly on top of the tub deck tiles? I would think there would be a small gap for grout, but I couldn't tell if there was any space and I didn't see any type of spacers

[@StudPack]

There are small wedge type shims in there

[@davidrogers7137]

What if you want a 3/16 grout gap (cos it says so on the box) but the spacer products don’t seem to come that wide. Can you combine? Or simply accept a narrower grout gap.

[@GoodGamerDude]

Does the table on that kobalt tile saw walk on yall? The one at my work started doing that

[@adrianarriaza3492]

I see a ton of people using the ditra when laying tile on a slab, but not here. Are there certain situations where it's a must and other times when it's not really needed? Or is it's just a hype thing that you can go without most times?

[@FabianDefoinyay]

You are pro's..

[@kevinwett2212]

i guess i need a 360 degree laser level haha. good video

[@StudPack]

Start with a cross line laser, cheaper and does most things well 👍

[@noskills9577]

Nice job, definitely need to try leveling system out on my next job. What size notch trowel are you using with the leveling system?

[@StudPack]

Those tiles required a 1/2” notched trowel

[@noskills9577]

@@StudPack thank you

[@professorkaos2781]

Hey, I love the pole for the laser. What brand is that?

[@StudPack]

It's bosch also. Check our recent video regarding the laser mount.

[@steveloux4709]

Did you have to cut off the bathroom door bottom to address the sloping transition at the threshold?

[@JT_70]

I miss Jordan’s enthusiastic intros and commentary like in the bee hive videos.

[@paulgilliland2992]

Nice work. Pro tip , get a quality tile scorer for large format work . So much more efficient and clean cuts , no ragged edges.Professional tile setters don’t use tile saws. Oh yeah and practice for a few hours before you jump in.

[@SgtZima]

Are Landberg Tile and Isaac Ostrom not professional tile setters? They use tile saws all the time.

[@joshweir6512]

I believe the honest appeal to this channel is buried in the genuine Love Paul has for his son. as cheesy as it sounds I could care less, It's remarkable. Another fantastic video guys Loved it

[@jdspecht682]

Will leaving the plastic “spacers” between the tiles cause any problems with grouting?

[@StudPack]

The spacer part breaks off clean with the bottom of the tile while the base of the spacer remains under the tile. Occasionally you don’t get a clean break so we remove any pieces that remain between the tiles

[@too_tricky5759]

This is the channel that epitomises "Measure thrice, cut once".

[@joshweir6512]

Guys looking forward to the next phase of the project when are you posting a vid?

[@omantoodle2437]

What size trowel did you use

[@texasmade2684]

Only question I have about those tile leveling wedges. What if one tile is pulled up and leaves a gap so the tile doesnt bond? How do you know it doesnt pull the tile to far up?

[@StudPack]

It doesn’t break the thinset bond like many people think it does. There are videos out there showing the effect with glass tile.

[@TheAxecutioner]

Man that all POPS !!! Nice !! Hey gys who's going to win the NFC championship Sunday? I'm in Wisconsin & I may be just a bit biased ;-)

[@StudPack]

Gonna be great game Bradyn! Brady VS Rodgers is going to be Epic! Can't wait
