I'm in California, and saw this guy's post on next door, about his family's pig giving birth, and scrolled the page to see if there were more pictures of the piglets, and the next thing you know i'm watching videos about how properly to tile a bathroom! Good ol internet! 😂 Gotta say this is a really helpful video.

Just great advice. I have done a few bathrooms and I did not take into consideration these extra measures to make sure It was done correctly. Now I feel guilty I wasn't as smart as I was before this video

What did you do about the toilet flange. Did you lay the toilet right on that, did you install a flange extender to get it to sit on top of the tile, etc?

We just put this tile in our master bathroom and it’s gorgeous! Next is our basement bathroom and maybe the laundry room and powder room.

When using ditra over plywood, use “modified” thinset. I followed and I had to do it over again.

Question on the timeline. So after you've added your grout, you have to wait 3 weeks before any additional work such as installing the vanity/sink pedestal and toilet?

If there is concrete under the vinyl do I need to put that board underneath?

[amberroseswinson]

[googliization]

Use maximum size tiles. It’s looks better and it will easily for install

Do I have to have the orange stuff or can I put tile directly on painted plywood? Doh!

I like how he just glosses over "remove old mortar"
