Grout and wipe 1 section at a time so the grout is easy to wipe off and not dried on tile

Awesome! Love the high-speed whistling, too! Thanks!

One of the earliest things my dad made me learn how to do was grout. This brings back me back...

I was not expecting sounds of nature while watching the World's #1 Handyman channel doing grout work on tile flooring. I heard what sounded like to me as a woodpecker peeking when you sped up the video doing your grout float work.

Handyman video ! Excellent.

I used vinyl baseboards in my laundry room after I tiled the floor. I used a sealer under the baseboards as I installed each piece to make it water tight. The finished look matched the baseboards in the rest of the house. Just an idea.

Excellent work and thanks for the awesome content stay safe

I think I’d have left the toilet in the shower. Had a camper like that once 😂. That’s the type of things you learn if you’re really into that secret society stuff. Nice video Handyman.

I agree with Rob Roy I used to cut pine boards in a random shape with a jig saw then burn the wood with a blow torch and wire brush the burnt part away bringing out the grain I then stuck photographs onto the wood overhanging the wood I wood then feather the edges with a wire brush .I would then paint burnt amber around the edge and spray with clear plastic spray.I use a rubber pad clamped between two pieces of wood to to bring out the grain through the photograph.

Thanks! Very informative

Thanks I needed a refresher, its been years since I grouted a floor TXS

hello there. ty for the vid. I need to know how clean the grout line needs to be before you put in the grout. I think that on some of the tiles there is going to be mortar in the lines. As i lain the tile I took a putty knife to it. I was afraid that I would mess with the cohesion of the tile. Anyway. the tiles are almost dried enough to support me getting on the floor to apply the grout.

Love your content, Handyman! Would be interested in hearing your thoughts in a future video on when a job is too big/time consuming to take on. Not sure if you face that situation often.

I get it, I do but why not a more focused initial application …slathering it all over the entire floor indiscriminately seems like it would make for a tougher cleanup

My lowes in pa finally restocked theirs. I think it's because they set up all the garbage glove and mask disposals with them and because they were using them to set up rope lines

Excellent

We had a stopped up sewer in a brand new building. Found out when contractors cleaned up after their grout work they cleaned up and poured their unused grout down the floor drain.

Why the small cuts against the walls?

Woo hooo! Party in the basement. I don't think I've ever seen tile baseboards. Interesting idea though!

We're gonna need more videos. 4 per week. 😁

Is that a Ryobi tool ??

Got my coveralls--quite impressive considering the money--used them for two weeks while i restored some "one-of-a-kind" windows in an old mansion--also tried out that light box--i'll tell ya--its really scary watching myself on video

THAT'S why the wooden baseboards in my bathroom look so moldy and mildewy. I knew there had to be a reason. :) I don't mop, I swiffer, if anything (I'm lazy. I just let the Roomba do it, and screw mopping altogether), but I wouldn't doubt the previous homeowners mopped occasionally, and of course: it's a bathroom. Super humid environment.

I didnt know you had a pressure washing channel...southeast softwash is the channel... dude looks just like you. I think so especially at first glace..lol..have a good one

Ha! I just grouted my bathroom floor. Waiting for the haze for third wipe. I shoulda waited ...

Production stopped in China for 2-3 months. That's where everything is made. There is going to be a supply issue for a while.

Here is a tip for you, I use a small nylon bristle brush to pull any thin set out between joints before it dries. Then I am all ready to grout. Also random question do you head down to your sailboat in the summer? Just wondering.

Question: the tile that's been in the house for the last 50 the grout doesn't crack or chip off ever.. HOWEVER someone install some tike in my house last year and it's cracking already. The floor got wet and it really cracking down. Why is 50 years old grout not cracking at all and 1 year old grout cracking fast?

@Tonyhouse1168

Ай бұрын

Sounds like they didn’t use enough mortar or thinset underneath the new tile so the tile are shifting when you walk and it causes the grout to crack

So just water and a sponge 3 times???

Grout control to Major Tom... Take your glucosamine pills & put your kneepads on. 10. 9. 8... I'm stepping on the floor And my float is floating in a most peculiar way. And the people want to know whose shirts you wear. Time to clean the floor tile if you dare... (You spacey, HM 💫 :)

whats the secret got the hat and shirt waiting for the magic

There’s a vinyl baseboard available. Neat Heat.

Plastic baseboards. They make them for bathrooms and looks just like wood trim but is water resistant.(only comes in white though)

How long after installing tile to start grouting?

Best video yet. Loved how you talked through installing the toilet before the baseboard, but nothing tops, "when people ask me how I keep material from transferring to the car or the next job? I just want to reach through the screen and slap the..." Great video!

Grouting with no gloves is intense! No knee pads either. Really nice grout technique, I'm sure it looks great in person.

Thanks for the video. I especially like the part where you have to do the touch up on the grout.

We may watch, but he LISTENS!

The whistling lol

It would not fill everything and by the time you only stick it in lines the rest will be dry as long as you use ur float you won't be wasting much

Mother nature's kneepads... cartilage!!! Lmao 😂🤣😂

I just swear that you said in the speed it up voice per portion it about a minute 35 that it smelled like donuts in there! I'm sure I was mistaken right?

What you really need is... Knee pads and a washboy. With a washboy you could wash that floor once and it be done. Have clean knee pads.

You really have to make a troll clip about the basement contractors who still live with mom.

Why not wear knee pads under the coveralls?

No knee pads?? I knew a pro tiler who did that and eventually wore out holes in his knee-caps. Bad idea. Wipe the pads off easy piesy.

Heads up! Prism comes with sealer already in it. If your not careful. You will be on you new tile floor with a belt sander to take it off...lol Just kidding a paint scraper will work also

It's always nice when the client brings you a cold beer or cocktail. I have a question, please don't reach through the interwebs and slap me. Why do you grout all over the tiles instead of just grouting the joints? It seems like a waist of grout, plus the amount of time it takes to wipe up the grout that is all over tiles.

I do exactly that. I'm not a fast contractor. I'm slow, clean, efficient, and meticulous. If you go slow and are careful you can usually do it. Best to bear in mind though that is after many tile jobs and like someone else said it's quite a bit trickier to get with 12 × 12 tiles.

@aaronrivera8083

It's also just better practice to sponge the whole tile if you are new to tile. There may be some thinset,dust, or pencil marks on the face. I use a rubi bucket and sponge and it cuts the time drastically. A good grout job and cleanup will hide the imperfections (horrible to say but truth).

My favorite part is when you whistle in fast motion.

Wow - this is a slow way to do it. You need a "Washboy" - they use them in Europe - originally from Germany. A bucket with built in rollers. You have two floats - the rubber one and the sponge one to wash off. Much faster.

4:06 considering how lazy people are nowadays it might as well be a secrete society - hard honest work.

Is that a fart? 8:26 😂

It would help! If your camera is up close!! Not far!!

like the toilet in the shower look...eliminate two things at once and come out nice and refreshed....

Use polyurethane baseboards

Do more then guns

put the knee pads under the coveralls

We should get what? Please don't ever stop!

Did you just discover sound effects?
