Happy new year GarageJournal! :beer: I spent a good amount of time on the floor over the last couple weeks. I didn't get as much done as I'd have liked, but I did get to spend a really nice holiday with friends/family and a much needed "staycation." I have breached the 50% mark, moved over...

Don't be too discouraged, it's highly likely I'm doing something wrong :lol: I'm still an amateur. Maybe it's because I'm using a 1/2" notched trowel mixed with back buttering? My garage is roughly 400 sq. ft. so that'll come out to ~$400 of FlexBond if I can't figure out a way to be more...

I'm getting roughly 30 sq. ft. out of a bag, I thought it was advertised at around 100sq ft. though. :dunno: We'll see if I do any better tonight, I'm planning to lay another ~30 sq. ft. this evening.

Thanks Toolfool! :thumbup: I'm going to start using the sponging technique mentioned by yourself and Cleveman tonight. Hoping to make a lot of progress this weekend too. Thank you! I started adding my cost to the original post, don't have a final total cost/tile yet because I'm still...

Hmm...You may be a genius! I'll go take a look for a new pair this weekend, any recommendations? I currently have a couple sets of cheap Harbor Freight knee pads I've been using, and while they help, they're not great by any means.

I updated my original post and included the materials/cost thusfar. They'll be going up fast as I buy another few bags of Flexbond thin set this weekend. That stuff's expensive, but I didn't want to skimp on bonding agents. There wasn't any Kerabond in my area either... Flexbond seemed to be...

Dakota00, SlickGT1, Jack Olsen, and N0tt0n; Your threads were a big part of my inspiration to start this project, thank you for taking the time to document your experiences, I read them all front to back! :thumbup: SlickGT1, I didn't even realize we had similar colors until you mentioned it...

Thank you for all of the compliments and feedback! After writing this post, I had the itch to do more tiling last night after work. I'm up to 61 laid tiles now, and the process is definitely going a lot smoother. The Flexbond thinset I'm using calls for 5 quarts of water, I found that 5.25...

Hi All, I’m new to the forum, but have been reading quite a lot and decided to finally dig into my garage renovation project. After seeing many of the threads here and looking for something different and "high-end," I've decided to breach the world of tiling. This is my first attempt at laying...
