Sometimes while watching your videos, it makes me wish something in the house was broken so I could go work on it. Doing stuff yourself is very fun and addicting.

Something I would like to add. If you can, lay the tile BEFORE the cabinet is placed, or if you can feasibly take it out, do it. It makes for a much cleaner look of the cabinet sitting on top of the tile, and makes your cuts much easier (only having to worry about the toilet). It does require a bit more tile, but in my experience, it goes quicker and easier when there are minimal cuts.

If you are using rectified tile (with sharp edges) and want to ensure that the tile's edges are even, I would recommend using Raimondi's Leveling System. It is an added cost, but my company uses this and it makes laying tile much quicker and ensures smooth edges, though more thinset is used (you'll have to use a 1/2" by 1/2" trowel to account for the thickness of the clips).

You have a great ability to explain and demonstrate things that make these kinds of projects accessible to everyone. I really didn't know how to do anything DIY/Home Improvement-wise and watching your videos has helped me in so many ways. I wish I knew a guy like you that I could hire to do certain things, you seem to take such pride and care to make sure things are done correctly, something that is so difficult to find these days. Hope to join your Patreon very soon!

An excellent video that I will watch again just before I tile my back hallway in the spring. Thank you Shannon. ❤️

Thanks for explaining in detail what you are doing. Those of us who only perform these types of mods/repairs need all the fine detail that you provide.

Props to those of you that do this. My OCD would have me doing 110% coverage on all tiles.
