I respect that you posted an imperfect job. Ultimately, most people using the shower won't notice or care. Most important is that it stays waterproof and looks generally decent.
Wow. Great job. The laser sure helped, but planning was the key. Awesome
This is a perfect example of why you should hire a professional tile installer.

Exactly. First this he does is drive screws into the waterproofing 🤦♂️ hope it lasts for him and his family though I just can’t stand the fact people will go and learn bad habits because of somebody so proudly teaching what they think they’ve learn

as soon as i seen a mixed full bucket of thin set before he even installed the Schluter corners i knew he was not very experienced. that bucket of mud was probably sitting or 3 hours before it was used up.
Great job Tyler. Shower looks fantastic.
Great 👍 work, God bless you, thanks
maravilloso trabajo muy bien
Can you use the laser level and start in the middle where the faucet would be in the middle for sure? Great job.
Nice job. You helped me figure out how to do the inside corner. Like that trim and all the advice.

Anything could have done to remove the thin slither at the top of the walls. Maybe half tile at the bottom? Thanks for the video
nice job but those cut pieces at the ceiling would drive me insane lol
I like your videos I’m an electrician and I like to tile too
Another awesome video!! Thank you!!

Do layout BEFORE you start tiling, you won't have slivers at the top or bottom

Yea the slivers on the top make it look worse, If it was a larger tile wouldn't notice it as bad.
NICE!
Love your video! I love the thin spacer, what size the spacer did you use in this case?

Thanks Katherine!
Great video .just a tip from an old pro ..never use angle grinders forehand asking for nasty kickback and Mask !
I would cut the tile in half instead of a third on the second line and always tape along the lines on your tile when using a wet saw
What was that you used to hold the tile to the wall?
What is the brand and name of this tile?
Good tips, nice video. One point to mention, if you plan the tile layout before placing the niche you can have a full tile end precisely at the rondec.
I remember when i first started, but short cuts will catch up to ya
which would you recommend for large tiles like in this video AcrylPro Ceramic Tile Adhesive 1 gal or VersaBond 50 lb. Gray Fast-Setting Professional Thinset Mortar or SimpleSet Gray Thin-Set Mortar

What was the name of the corner thingies? With the fake grout.
How many boxes of tile did you use for this bathroom?
Why the inside corner beading ? just looks or does it help to hold it all together ?

Sliver at the top…….would drive me nuts!

1/8th inch spacers
Kerdi Fix isn't waterproof, researched it. Some say it is, some say it is not...I don't really trust the "is" versions...lol. I am glad I didn't use it in my shower. Great video!
what size is this shower?
Holy crap I had just pulled, cleaned, and mortared about 70 20cm x 20cm tiles in my bathroom and saw him add mortar to the back of that first tile. When he said during the second it was mostly for larger tile I exhaled like OH MAN that worried me for the work I did
Te pareces mucho a Gerard Pique 😂
Did you put the corner molding actually inside the shower?😮 I thought they are used only for the outside corners 😂

An expansion joint
Doesn't screwing the ledger board in compromise the waterproofing? How does it not?
@DIYTyler
2 ай бұрын
It definitely does. I can't remember if it's in this video or another one but I apply a kerdi band over the holes as well as over the joint between the walls to floor pan
You split the tile by 3rds on the back wall and sides by halves. Isn’t that a boo boo.

100% and poor guy took to much off the bottom tile that’s why he’s got such a small tile at the top.🤦🏻♂️
How many hobbyist woodworkers are there?
You messed up on some of your lay out. Some of the tile is wrong. And why did you out shluter in the corner when it's getting covered? But you have some nice techniques
Those inside expansion joints are overkill, sooner or later you have to stop spending money and tile your shower.
Only thing I seen wrong was the very small cuts at the top
How come you didn't stagger them
I don't want to be a hater.................. but two different layouts for the grout lines and I hate the slivers. Sorry to be negative.
You do fairly well but truth be told you botched the layout. Never should have had that sliver at the top.
Sliver on the ceiling and bottom of the niche 😂🤦🏼♂️
Idk this is much of a diy project if you have no prior tile / craftsmanship experience I wouldn’t attempt this as it will probably not look even close to as good as what hes done.

at 7: 20....I am still at a lost why you didn't explain the ''yellow things'' and why your video machine wasn't closer. lack of foresight I can only imagine. it leaves questions. 3 thumbs down.
You need to layout your tile nice cuts at floor and ceiling yours looks bad i would not pay you and you did 2 different layouts 50/50 an 1/3 idk man i wouldnt have posted this video
You know what else is 4.5 inches? 😂
Somehow, this guy looks like he just came out of "tiling school". .
butcher job, should of started full tile from base, you ended up with 2 inch to 1/2 inch sliver cut run on ceiling. Amateur mistake. Good try

Never start at the base because your tub isn't going to be perfectly level. Start with a level ledger board

If you started with your ledger 2 inches higher, you would have a disgusting run off sliver up top. Amateur mistake, garbage high-end finish
@BrothersVengeance
Ай бұрын
@devilious123 that why you don't start just 2 inches higher. You start 6 or 7 inches higher so you have close to a half tile at the bottom and a half tile at the top. You split the difference so you don't have slivers on either end. Templating your wall is everything
This guy is joke big fail
