This is my backsplash tile and 4" off set. Love it

I enjoyed your video. Your straightforward, no-nonsense style is refreshing. You checked the level of the first 2 rows and found a couple spots that were a little high and it looked like you just moved the spacers around to get level. Were you able to do that because the edges aren't even? I'm about to do our backsplash and have tiles with faces like yours but the edges are a bit irregular and I've been worrying about how to keep them level without going crazy using more than one size of spacer. Any help is greatly appreciated.

What tile is that and did you use 1/8 spacers? HD or lowes? I just bought some like that but it's all uneven on sides and spacers don't work. I think I'm going to return for a square tile like yours. I think i saw them at HD or L. Thanks great.

Nice vid, thanks! Any reason you preferred to start in the corner versus in the middle area (stove) to even the cuts on both side?

Thanks for sharing this - I have a backsplash to do this week and I needed a refresher. Great idea keeping the extra cement off the walls! See you in the grouting video??

Hey great video. Quick question- I like how you didn't use a wet saw to cut the more complicated cuts but what is that tool you used called? I'm about to tackle tiling for the first time and would like to use that instead

What do you have between the countertop and wall of where the backsplash is going? I see the cover but is there something specific you are using to cover the back bottom edges?
Thanks!

Curious. Why didn't you tile the other side wall where you started tiling?

What did you use to cut the top row lengthwise?

Apparently a tile backsplash isn’t as difficult as I’ve always figured it would be!

How long do you wait before taking spacers out?

Hey boss! Quick question. 28 square foot simple backsplash in kitchen (I have the product) paying someone for the labor to do it. What’s a fair price ?? I want to make sure I’m not getting hosed ! Thx!!

Hey, so I'm in the middle of tiling my kitchen backsplash with 3x6 marble and 1/8" spacers over a granite top. I've watched several how to vids that say you should leave an empty grout space at the bottom on the counter top as an expansion joint that will be filled with color matched caulk. And thats what the floor and decor store "experts" advised me to do. So thats what I've been doing. But like your video, I've seen people not putting spacers on the bottom, also. What is industry best practice?
