This was a fun video to watch, thank you for explaining how long to leave the tile before it's ok to remove the spacers.

Thank your wife for me, she asked the question I needed.

Dude, I've watched a bunch of videos, trying to learn as much as I could. I could have skipped all those and just watched this.

[armandob]

I have to say, you cover every detail that needs to be addressed about tile installation. Thank you very much.

[JonahBaker]

I needed that pep talk in the middle, thank you!

The only addition I’d mention is that starting with a full tile on the end may yield in unusually small cuts at the end. Always double check your layout for symmetry.

I loved that you mentioned I don’t have to use a table wet saw !!!! That’s the only thing preventing me because I’m not gonna be one when I’m only using it once. I rather just buy the handsaw.

Just the the attitude this guy has makes me wanna jump out of my bed and re do the whole house!

Dang, you're amazing! I DIY everything from electrical, carpentry, plumbing, but tile is one of those things I've always felt nervous about. Your video makes me feel confident to tackle my own tile job and not blow money on hiring it out. We did a major bathroom remodel at our house and I hired out the tiling job, spent a $1, 000 on labor for a small tiling portion, and it sucked... all the tiling was at bad angles, because they didn't use spacers, and they set the mud wrong. And I spent $1, 000 on labor instead of $1, 000 on tools!

Loved your video! My daughter y me installed our subway backsplash tile while my hubs was healing up. Thank you so much for all the excellent details; very grateful for your wife’s inquiry 💐😊

Thank you so much for saying that a tool shouldn't stop us! I let that stop me all the time!! Your video encouraged me to go do it and figure it out. Worst that can happen is, I have to think outside the box lol.

I have completed ALL kinds of of projects at my home over the years including floor tile and tile surround in a bathroom renovation. Komar does a really good job on this video, particularly with the instruction on how to notch tile. I am getting ready to start a tile backsplash install; I did pick-up an idea or two that will make for another fine, cost saving DIY project. Thanks a lot!

Great video. But I am wondering about putting the thinset / mortar directly on the drywall. It's that creating a humidity problem? Few years ago, an installer did a backsplash in our other house and he applied a primer (purple color substance) to the drywall first. Then on homedepot "how-to" video, they replaced the drywall with "ciment board" / backerboard. so i'm wondering what is best practice? please, let me know your thoughts. thanks.

Thanks for this Bart! This video gave me the confidence to go out and do this. Been _massively_ renovating my kitchen (removing load bearing walls!) and this backsplash is the last step. Wish me luck this weekend!

[JohnGenX]

This video will remain hidden from my Wife because it looks so easy with you and honey bunny doing it. I myself hate messing with Tile and Grout but this was a great video as always 😀👍and please keep em coming! 😅

[danielnogueira]

This video gave me the confidence I needed to take on my own backsplash. Wish me luck 💪🏼

[macjohnston]

I really wish I watched this before I started my own backsplash. I did not know you could utilize a wet saw that way! So helpful. Thank you for this video.

[deliciousgroove]

Good video. You answered my question about the tabs on the electrical outlets. I see that they go on the outside of the tile. Thank you.

I’m so in love with that tile!!! And that man!!
