    Time for Tile

    I don't know, and I back butter. No you reduce the thickness by squeezing the excess out. I wiggle set the tiles in. I have been doing this for ever, and never had a single issue. Will never stop, really does not add much effort at all. I also don't trowel the back butter. I just plop a 5-6...

    This has got to be wrong / Made in the U.S.A.

    How retarded are they? I bet I can get a better deal and tool with everything snapon. The made in USA thing is getting out of hand. I am all for it, and pay a few bucks more every time, but seriously, $30 for a punch, each.

    Port and Polish for the Garage Guy

    Personally, I agree with you. I used to think this was the way to go, port polish, port match, all that ****. I did not notice much difference on any of my modern cars that I did this to. Plus attributing any gains to port and polish is also something that you cannot prove. You would have to...

    Porcelain tile question..

    You can use different height tiles. Just set them higher, we aren't talking about inches of thinset, we are talking about millimeters. I recommend edge guard also.

    My 2-Car Porcelain Tile Install....

    Post 18, you see that long *** straight stick. That is how you identify the low spots. Not sure what he used, but most likely tile edge by the threshold. It is a straight piece of steel or aluminum. I used SS. But I also have a door threshold in front of the tile.

    How to remove this type of flooring
