You have been so helpful for the average DIY'er. I really like how you explain everything in-depth and don't miss even the small things. The fact you mention these small things throughout the video shows how thorough you are so us average people don't forget! Thanks for all your help, man.

dude, your channel is seriously legit. Thank you thank you thank you. I have a floor I'm working on in my kitchen and I'm learning how to fix small house projects. So, you definitely got a subscription from me. I will be watching more of your videos soon. Thank You again.

Thank you for your videos, they've been really helpful. I've been building a tiny house and renovating a 70 year old adobe house. Demo and framing was easy, finishing it out has been the hardest part. Thanks for the realistic time line too. So many folks out there do time lapses but don't actually say how many days the project realistically takes, especailly curing times which is important.

You are my favorite remodeling YouTuber 💪❤️👍

I love working with rectangular tiles as well as 12×12 doing a pin wheel look with 6×6 on the corners which takes away from lines a little more. I have offset rectangular tiles and did a 1/3 offset to not have a joint lined up every other row. So many options when you have the ability to do so. I have never been able to do tile before cabinets even on some new construction. Of course most of mine were remodel of just a floor or even a full kitchen. A little more time consuming but you always have to do what is needed. Great job as always Josh. 👍🏻

Plywood under cabinets of a kitchen???? You are an optimistic and brave man.
In my house, my beloved wife arranges a mini flood there 3-4 times a year. and driving all the time flows under the lockers. at home, I made a plastered waterproofing on the floor of the kitchen area with gluing the floor-to-wall joints with elastic tape and did not regret it

yes, 8-10 square meters of tiles were additionally spent. but on the scale of the repair is a trifle

Good video😊put tiles is easy if you know material you use and if is subfloor well prepared (flat and level)😊

Great videos. I think is better to put tile under the gabinet. I always droping water on the kitchen. Specifically I hand wash all my dishes and use mop and bucket to clean my kitchen

[TheBandoury]

Thank you for your video. I'm planing to have my kitchen floor tiled professionally 375 SF, while living in it, how long does it take? currently it is linoleum

[stormwolf]

I understand and agree with tiling under the refrigerator but I didn’t hear mention under the stove or dishwasher, etc. Would you suggest tiling under these as well?

[harleyridertx]

Love the channel, I have a 7" wet saw, can you give me a hint on how to minimize chipping when ripping porcelain tile

[khDec]

What size spacers did you use? And by the way, you taught me well!

I like your video. This is the first time tiling I'm tiling my kitchen what you did was came off the wall 20 in with your plywood I don't understand coming off the wall from one end to the other how would that be a straight meaningyou put your first tile a 16th of an inch away from the board the plywood then you marked alongside your tile then took a measurement from the wall again and came up I believe with 31 and 1/4 in drove a nail in went to the other end measured again 31 in a quarter then using a chalk line snap the line on the floor don't understand how would that be perfectly straight? I hope you can make me understand how. I followed everything else pretty good but I just don't understand how you did that and came out straight. Great video I hope to catch some more keep up the good work. Hope to hear back from you as I'm tiling my kitchen now I would not like to rip it up now thanks and keep the videos coming
