Great job, great booty, lucky man and beautiful couple. Keep it up, I find that home projects with my beautiful wife are some of my fondest memories to look back at. Thanks for the video, I think we'll try and do our patio.
Pro tip: with the wet saw toss the water pump in a bucket next to the saw, so you always are using clean water. Especially if it is your saw.
So cute how you two tackled this project together. Go team , turned out great, like the improvised kitchen tile on the edge too. Thanks for the video.

in the future, i'll give a tip. use 2 buckets of clean water and 2 sponges when grouting. one is your dirty bucket and one is the clean. wipe with the dirty sponge and rinse in the dirty bucket. final wipe with the clean sponge. when finished, wipe with a cloth towel for a final pass.

I did not - it's a covered patio so there is no water build up on it. I'm also in SoCal so rain is infrequent as is and the tile, mortar, and grout are all outdoor rated. If you didn't have the covering then I would look to do something like that just to be on the safe side. Cheers

How is the tile holding up? Just bought a house (close on it this week) and I'm gonna do this to my front porch. I'll be doing it by myself though which is fine since I'm a stay at home mom. I cannot wait to get started!! Thanks for this awesome tutorial. Super helpful.

Good luck! It’s held up incredibly well and you’re question made me realize it’s been nearly four years. Knock on wood - we haven’t repaired a single one - but everything is outdoor rated so I think that is expected? And it sees heavy foot traffic. Everyone made comments about white grout - I washed and mopped it Sunday morning and it looks almost as good as new. My wife also did our front porch the next weekend and it’s held up just as well and it gets even more daily weather and traffic.

Ps...NEVER use redguard. At a minimum,use Mapei waterstop....and the best is Mapei Aquadefense. And use a membrane fabric for the cracks If it’s my personal home,then I would use membrane over the entire thing and also use Schluter trim edging
Pro tip - 45 the top and bottom tiles of the edges so they butt up against each other, this way the brown sides of the tiles are not seen.

This video is great! Getting ready to do our outdoor tile project and I noticed you did not put down any sort of uncoupling membrane. I have been doing a lot of research and have seen many different options including not using one like in your video. I am curious though, now that it has been 3 years, have you had any issues with cracking? Also, what climate are you in? We are in northern california.
@workshop_edits
Жыл бұрын
We haven’t had any issues! None of my own research actually pointed me to a membrane but for clarity - this was outdoor tile, we used mortar specific to working directly on top of concrete, and our patio never freezes given our Southern California location.
Remember cut twice measure once
Do you have cold winters? how is it holding up after that? Is it slippery? I think I'm going to do this
@workshop_edits

I’m in Southern California. Coldest it gets at night is high 30s and that is rare. It’s a covered patio so it’s not getting wet very often but yes it is slippery if water is on it
Lovely job and great video...really nice looking tile too. Just a question on the use of the spacers....you chose to use four spacers at the intersection of four tiles....but why not just use one spacer, laid flat? Surely it would have done the same job and would have meant slightly less work?

It’s held up very well with regular cleaning and leaf blowing; it’s covered so I think that does help - but it is all rated for outdoor use across all materials, and with regular maintenance it’s done great and I’d just flag that it’s very slippery when wet so take that into account!
I learned that I'm going to save up and pay someone to do it. You both did a great job, and it looks really amazing. The time I would spend figuring out how to do it, getting all the necessary equipment, and actually having to lay the tile myself would just take way too much of my time. An expert could do it a whole heck of a lot faster than me, that's for sure.

At around 1 minute on the video there appears a large crack in the concrete. Seems like this could be a problem down the road. A lot of extra work but I would have suggested laying an additional layer of cement board on top of the concrete slab.

It’s probably a good tip overall as a precaution. My devils advocate for our set up is the patio is 64 years old and that is the extent of the cracking so it felt minimal. Cheers
