Jrs,belive me when i tell you,do not waste your money! Don't buy into the fear mongering. Do your research,protect yourself,and your family with the proper safety precautions, and get started. I fully understand the nerves ,its your first time dealing with it.,but the "pros" won't do anything...

Cobbler, i' m pretty sure you can use a machine in your region, if the work area is sealed off 6 mil plastic over doors and windows, provided the stripping is completed in one 8 hr shift or less. Almost certain ,but i will double check.

Removing the adhesive will be extremely time consuming, and will create more of a hazard then removing the tile. Wear a respirator and seal off the room with 6mil plastic and create an air lock between the room the work is being done and the rest of the home.a Hepa filter vacume is needed for...

Hey Dakota,would you mind sharing the price point on those tiles?

WOW! Congrats on a beautiful job! Wanted to say thanks for the advice. I've decided on porcelain ,purchased all the products and now just need to decide on a pattern and charge the camera!

I second the volleyball type.I use them daily laying floors!I've tried everything out there and these are hands down the most comfortable. Light weight and fit under coveralls!

Looks awesome can't wait to see the final product. Was it mandatory to use porcelain? I'm in southern ontario as well, and was hoping to use ceramic. What is your professional opinion?

Should have sealed the floor before putting anything on it. The tiles are very porous to absorb the sealer and wax. Otherwise a 30year tile won't last 30days.

Pros only take that much time when they are being watched!

You would have much better success when it is warmer! The tiles should be climatized to the space. I always use Roberts 5038 adhesive with a 1/16 trowel, and install over half a million sqft a year. Never any problems in 10 years.Knock on wood lol.

My bad, they are dedicated 20! I know very little about electrical, but had a electrical engineer at my disposal to do the job, and supply the materials. I am in ontario.

Hey Vern I'm just south of you,in Niagara. I'm going r14 in the walls and r30 in the celling covered with drywall. I have a 10 ft door with r16. Fairly good as far as insulation goes. I did consider a portable to get it up to temps and the electric to maintain it if I need to.

Thanks to everyone who posts, I've borrowed a ton of ideas from the forum,and this section.Built a 20x23 shop in the backyard in Sept. Finally powered up. No switches and plugs yet, but power! Now to insulate and board before I finish it off. 100amp panel, 2 240 outlets (welder,plasma cutter) 3...

Hey, krisway, not to stray off topic but how big is your shop? I'm just finishing a 20x23 and ordered 2 4000w heaters, hoping they'll do the trick.
