Wow, thanks. This was a huge help! I just finished grouting my first floor. I really didn't have a clue how to do it, but it came out beautiful thanks to your videos. On a side note, instead of ceramic tiles, I used vinyl tiles that be set with grout. They honestly look like ceramics, but aren't as cold as ceramic tiles. The room I put them in sits on a concrete slab so thats important. They were very easy to cut, probably much more so than a ceramic. Got them at Menard's. Thanks again!!

This us the first time that I viewed your video(s). My husband and I just tiled out bathroom floor for the first time. Your Grout video not only makes total sense- but you showed me the reason that the "pro's" messed our kitchen floor up. There is a 1/8" depression in the grout lines in my kitchen floor. 3 months after the kitchen floor was put in- the grout began to chip and crack. Now that You have shown me the proper way- my husband and I can tackle recruiting the kitchen too. Thank you!

Correct Mike! That's why I say it in the beginning, "....there's all kind of different ways to grout floor tile ...." As for technique, you bet there are different styles. But the one thing that's constant is the water. Too much water at any step of the process and your grout will not be as strong as it could be. Thanks for your kind words.

I have a question..my condo bathtub had a ceramic tile flooring and now everytime someone is taking a shower water is leaking into someone else apartment below. I thought the water drain pipe is leaking and after did some leaking test it was not it. The leaked is on the around the drain pipe exterior through cement. I wonder if you can give me some of your expert advise on how to correct this leak problem before install the new tiles.

The thinset must be dried, and preferably, cured. The tiles are very tender and susceptible to movement without dried grout locking them in place. When grouting you must be very careful about twisting your knees. The tiles can handle compressive pressure from above, but twisting motion can rip them lose from the thinset.

It's pretty tough to get sanded grout smooth as the tile glaze. Just use oxygen bleach each week when you clean to sanitize the grout and tile. Get it at the StainSolver website.

There is a risk to a small degree. I would mix no more than a gallon at a time. Use COLD water to slow down the hardening of the grout in the bucket. That will extend the work time for you. Your BEST strategy, since you're a grasshopper, is to go spend $50 on some scrap tile and glue this to a piece of underlayment that you lay down on your garage floor. Grout it for practice to see how much you can handle at a time.

Ok I watched first two videos on grouting, but it is impossible to find videos 2 and 3 on you tube, The instructions you give to access videos 3 and 4 take me to a site where I have to pay for those videos. Is that your intention, to have free access to 1 and 2 and pay for 3 and 4? That is ok if that is what you intended , however, you should have plainly stated that so we don't waste our time trying to find 3 and 4 on You Tube, btw 1 and 2 are good
