Line laser levels also really help in the marine construction where in old days (and many still do it today) they also used the 345 method to determine where to run a string line so that it is 90 degrees with another string line. That really becomes difficult on days where the water is rough and you're bobbing up a down. A line laser level gives you both a line and another line that is already tuned at 90 degrees with the other laser line and so you can easily determine where 90 degrees is even at long distances away. There is no other tool that gives you a long range 90 degrees except a laser level. All you need is a receiver to find the line and that's where 90 degrees is.

9:22 I agree, having the tiles compliment that room layout looks better, it flows more naturally having the tiles lengthwise matching the narrower room A tiler also told me that he sets up full tiles along whatever edge you first see when you walk into the room, as your eye naturally tracks to that edge, so making the tiles full at that edge makes for a more professional looking job. Any tiles that you need to cut would then go against the opposite side of the room

This guy doesn't even do layout correctly but that is job security because all of you he is teaching think he is so good but he is not teaching correct methods. In fact he complicates things while laying out his tile wrong. I wonder who he learned from. He could never be in the tiler's union. He would lay someones tile out this way once and that would be it. They would make him go to school.

@frankcatrini4816 Жыл бұрын

@@AdventureswithGeneral i suppose it is writen that way but think about it and really watch him spreading the thin set. between the protruding notches on the trowel are flat sections and that acts like a flat trowel, so as he is spreading those flat sections are keying the thin set into the ditra and he is pressing down fairly hard many times. as you watch you can clearly see it being keyed in between the notches and its being done everywhere. now if you just scooped out some thinset and didnt press down all the way and just loosly pressed down adding a kind of thicker layer to the floor, you wouldnt be keying it in and in that case you would of needed to pre key in the thin set with the flat side of trowel. i see this reply alot on these videos, mainly people complaining that the setter is doing it wrong but if you actually watch what the thinset is doing while they are spreading, you will see that they are indeed burning it in, its just that its happening in one step..

Tho I don't do tile, I've discovered that the laser is fantastic for layout and checking squareness. Knowing what is straight, parallel and perpendicular makes for easier decisions. With a tight string on the floor, you can only measure to the toe kicks and baseboards. A laser is everywhere. It's in the next room, it's on the walls, it's at every elevation. Let's say the toe kicks are off 3/8 of an inch. With a string on the floor, it limits what you can measure. With a laser, you can measure to the toe kick, then immediately above the toe kick to the wall. You immediately know if the toe kick is out of whack. Just saying that with a string, you are very limited as to what you can measure. With the laser you can even measure into the outside of the room that you're working in to ensure you're parallel to a common wall. ...and you can't trip over a laser line. 😁

Is it because of the 1/2 trowel u are using and umyou don't need too? Or do I even need to do this? I'd like to know your thoughts on that. Thanks for all this great information!

Have you run into a situation where a customer asked you to use the leftover tiles from another area and bought more for the work, but ended up another batch of tiles that slightly different color than the left over ones because they don't make that color anymore? It happened to me recently and I didn't check. The store the customer bought from say it's the same tiles according to their system but it doesn't match the color. It was the 12x24 tile. I didn't notice it until half way through the job. My customer decided to keep them in rather than redoing them from the new batch.

@ndsrocks1 Жыл бұрын

The tiles were from different dyelots. Its small variations of color from different batches. Tile distributors usually(or should) keep records of which dyelot on your purchase order so it can be matched later on.

Essentially, grout line widths used to solve that problem. Back 15-20 years ago. When they were 3/16. You could "Dutch" a line a little skinnier here and there to square out areas. It was also a way to have full pieces at perimeter when using smaller tiles. Now the tiles are twice the size or more. So grout lines aren't used as measurement aids anymore.

This is so bush league. First, you don't need to worry about how square the walls are perpendicular to the tub and vanity. Any small degree of out of square will be hidden by the tile offset. Second, if your strategy is "to figure out where to start with a full tile" you're doing it wrong. What are the chances that the best tile layout coincidentally contains a full tile against one of the walls/doorways? Answer: almost zero. You've spent all this time with lasers, and marks, and measurements, and the outcome was to slap full tiles against the tub. Which is exactly what someone would have done without any of the lasering amd measuring... Third, you've got the ditra heat cable in some no-no areas in a couple spots. might want to go back and read the instructions. Finally, and most ridiculously, YOU DON'T FILL THE DITRA WITH THINSET BEFORE COMBING THE THINSET FOR TILE!? Wow, just wow...
