    Very cool. I like that you don't come off as an expert, but instead, admit you are sharing what you learned. I like that you obviously take pride in the knowledge gained, and would certainly hire you because you obviously care about the details, and that really is where the devil lies. Good job sir!

    Great advice. My wife found 4'x4' tile at floor and decor and wants to use them to do backsplash in our remodeled kitchen. I don't want to mess with it myself. I guess I need to find someone with your ability in my area of Florida to help us out. I will make sure they know what they are doing. Thanks for the advice.

    Great info! Thanks so much! This helps explain the pricey quotes for porcelain slab installation, even though the material is the same as regular porcelain tiles.

    Great video! Details of installation from a craftsman... priceless. I am a GC with lot's of custom home experience, but I have a new challenge (new for me)... a client who wants a porcelain slab countertop with a "waterfall" island end. They also want zero-grout joints. I've never done a "waterfall" and I have a few questions on how to blend the countertop nosing with the visible edge of the waterfall. If this is something you are willing to discuss, I'll send you a sketch to illustrate the issue. The slabs the client like are not too big... 30" x 60", so easy to handle.

      I wouldn't put a porcelain slab countertop. You ever seen porcelain tile after a few years and how the feet of chairs wears off all the color on them? Not sturdy. Plus what if someone puts something super hot on it, or drops a cast iron pan on it? No way. Granite for the top and the waterfall only. Or something else similar, that's at least an inch thick natural stone!!

    Yes please be careful guys with porcelain tile. I was installing a 2'x2' tile about 3 weeks ago, my suction cup failed, it fell and broke and cut the tendon in my thumb.

    I’m about to tile it bathroom with 3’ x 6’ tile. It’s only a quarter inch thick and it has a good quarter inch to 3/8 of an inch bow in the middle. Is that something I can try to flatten or would the tile just snap when I try flattening it since it’s so thin

      I've done 2 slab jobs and I'm never touching them again.
      A complete and utter high risk nightmare.
      I've recently priced a slab job on house that is being built on the condition that I get slabs in before internal walls go in.

      Tile is a luxury product, and large tile is extra luxury. After it catches on in high-end builds then moderate builds will follow. The trend has been bigger and bigger for decades, so I don’t see it stopping now.
