5 minutes into the video I decided to hire somebody to re-tile our bathrooms. Your video made me appreciate the amount of workmanship into tile work a lot more.

The consistency of tile that you are doing throughout your house is really nice. Thank you for showing common obstacles and how to overcome them with simple solutions, as well as other ways to solve a problem when a tool happens to fail. The house projects are looking great! Keep up the great work and well-produced videos to make the process much less intimidating.

Your editing skills are FANTASTIC! You have the same ideology as most children shows..lots of transitions perfectly timed for right when my attention span goes out. Keeps me interested. I love it! I think I’m going to do my tile job on my own.

Thanks for this. I just bought tile for my whole house and I haven't tiled before. I was going to do hardwood, but I got the tile at a steal.

Thank you. I have an unexpected tiling project for our remodel. My cousin gave me this video and I feel much more confident about what I have to do. Thank you!

[RonRivet]

Well done! Thanks for the refresher. I've installed tiles before but you reminded me of a few tips that I had forgotten like having fresh water around at all times and not using the dirty part of the sponge on the tile with grout. Doing a tile job today. Appreciate the refresher. God bless. 😊

Well done Tyler! Impressive detailed instructions. Definitely subscribing to your channel. Videos like yours are the reason I ever downloaded YouTube. Please keep up the great work!!! Thank you!!!

Tyler just a heads up, the toilet valve looks to be a threaded type. So you do have some options and I would suggest to use the ball type not gate type of shut off valve since the gate type will eventually stick (sometimes) then when you go to shut it off then it can start to leak. Anyway, after replacing all my gate type shut off valves with the ball type (they do make them nice chrome so they don't look any different) it makes toilet or faucet repairs so much easier.
