I love the way she explains things, thoroughly but without being condescending. Understanding that some of us have zero experience with a subject but are capable of tackling the task is what makes Leah such a wonderful teacher. Thanks, Leah, you make it possible for even me to do a good job at something I never though I could!
not condescending? How about the "don't be afraid of the math" remark? BTW at 3:32, her note shows 78/12 = 6.6 but it is actually 6.5. That comes to the same result: 6'6" that she shows but it's a bit misleading. Nevertheless, this is the best regime of planning placement of the tiles I've seen so far. So, thanks for that, Leah.
As an experienced flooring installer, the method shown in finding center lines for both the length and width of the area to be tiled is a good starting point. If you prefer not to do a lot of math, once the center lines are established, simply take some loose tiles and do a dry trial layout starting at the cross lines. You don't need to layout the entire area, but simply lay a line of tile (making sure to use the intended grout spacing) along both lines to see how big the perimeter cut tiles will be. The ultimate goal is to avoid having narrow pieces of tile along the perimeter. You can move the starting tiles in order to get a pleasing layout.
I've laid tile for many years. I'll come across youtube to see what tile installers say.This the BEST tutorial I have ever scene. I've seen home depot ... general contractors .... tile installers try to explain. They fail to give the beginner the ah-hah moments with explanations. You not only explain how to do but WHY.You are a GRADE A instructor for laying tile.
Always enjoy watching your videos. I have been earning a living doing handyman/maintenance work for companies and my own business for decades and I continue to learn something every time I watch one. Your method of explaining things is golden - thorough and concise at the same time with a tone that offers fearless positivity and faith in the viewer. Thank you!
I watched about 10 different instruction videos to know how to lay my tile. They made no sense to me . They did not try to teach . I felt they were more showing off what they know. You my dear , HAVE MADE A WONDERFUL TRAINING VIDEO. YOU MADE EVERYTHING SO CLEAR AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND. NO ONE ELSE MADE IT SO SIMPLE HOW TO DETERMINE THE CUTS ON YOUR TILE AND THE SIZE EACH WILL BE. THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU
Leah, you have such a calm and easy manner. I always try to learn from everyone I work with on a jobsite, but I seem to learn more from your videos. I think your true calling is teaching! Please keep these wonderful instructional videos coming!
You are one of the greatest teachers I have ever had. I’m talking parents, in person teachers, books, internet, you name it. Thank you for your knowledge and words of encouragement!
Leah, I can't believe I came across this particular tutorial....I'm about to tile my laundry room floor and didn't know the correct starting point!! Thank you!! Your videos have helped me SO MUCH.
Doing a tile job today.. layed tile off and on for years but I was thought how to measure wrong and never liked just laying it out before hand to see how its gonna look..sometimes it's necessary but not always IMO.. you truly are the best! Thanks Babe!!!
thank you so much for this informative video, i suffer from dyscalculia and most of the time i don't understand my teachers explainations because it goes a little to fast for me. grateful to have found the tutorial and how great you explain while talking somewhat slowly for all of us to really understand every steps!❤️
Really outstanding and well thought out videos. I have finished basements (5 of them so far) and done electrical, plumbing , HVAC etc, so I am no beginner, but certainly not a "pro". I always find your videos as great reviews of technique and really in some instances terrific fundamental reviews....as with repetition sometimes comes sloppiness. Great job here....keep them coming.
An outstanding job introducing one to tile work. Having done my own place, some 1200 square feet, I can say I wish I had the benefit of this young lady's expertise when I started my project. My recommendation to people considering tiling as a job for themselves DIY, is to watch her works and others' works many times. No one video presentation can cover it all. There are many factors to consider when undertaking this sort of work in one's home. Thanks for all this great information! Best wishes for your continued success.
Thanks for the compliment about brightness. I'm not sure I'm any more 'bright' than you or anyone else, but I do what I can to learn what I can and acknowledge people I learn from. Thank you Mr. Torres and best wishes to you and yours in all you do.
I do tiles here and there just my own. I have watched so many videos on line, and your videos are amazing,. Thank you for all your efforts. this a big credit for you in the hereafter. The knowledge you spread benefits alot of people. when anyone learns something from someone, they always remember that person and become greatful.
Thank you for explaining the math part of this project so clearly. I have Dyscalculia and really struggle with math. I'm just beginning to do DIY home projects and your tutorials help immensely.
Thanks Leah. I'm going to layout my bathroom floor tonight. A bit more tricky as the room is not square. This is a bathroom where the sink cabinet juts out so the floor is more of an L shape. I'm going to use your technique where borrow from a tile to adjust the floor so when I go around the sink cabinet it will line up better so I don't have a sliver of tile wrapping around it. Thanks to you I can see the process clearly and how to work with it to adjust where I need to.
Youre an obvious pro. Im new to the game, and it seems to me you just saved me a ton of time using paper and some numbers. Thank you so much. I hope i get really good at this.
Thanks for sharing Leah, I've never laid title before, but after watching your video, I believe I can title my concrete porch. I have a few railing posts and square columns to work around, but at least now I can do the overall basic layout. I took metal trades shop class in high school, so I'm familar with fractions and decimals. Lot of people would miss that 5.5 feet is really 5' 6". Smiles...
All your videos are awesome!! I couldn't find the information anywhere until I came across your video. I appreciate how you explained the math step by step and now I understand how its done right . Thank you so much ! You are the best!!
Where where you when I needed you 12 years ago when I started tiling? Your method of explaining is so on the money and you, lady, sound like solid gold yourself and I could easily work for a boss like you. Cheers from The Great White North!
I UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING. I'm looking forward to watching your other videos. I want to tile my floor but am sooo clueless. I don't have the funds to pay someone to do it hence my visit here. I'm sooooo glad I found you. I am now a subscriber looking forward to watching you do more.
No one should not know how to do this stuff, money is thin around here so doing my own work is a must. Without these videos id be paying someone else money and they may even install it wrong... thanks for taking the time to make these vids
Thank you dear. I have a small bathroom to do. I am determined to do it myself but also recognize that I need some help. Your video has been most helpful. Thanks again.
Thanks for the tutorial I had forgotten the simple but most important basics. Just finished a tile job and your instruction made it quite simple. Keep 'em coming.
I had no idea how to begin calculating this, so (don't laugh) I actually used a quilting program to lay out my rectangle shaped floor plan and 'sashing' to add in the grout lines. Worked really well, exactly like your first example, but it looked odd because I ended up with 0.25 inch cuts ....yuck. You've no idea how happy I was to finally run across your video, which confirmed approx. how many tiles I'd need but more importantly helped me move tiles a bit to look better along the borders without tiny pieces to cut. I can go ahead now and snap chalk lines and the layout is still centered, even if the chalk line itself is not in the exact middle point of the room! You're the best - and may I say that I adore your videos. It's rare to see pros so encouraging, or able to explain as well as you do. Please keep making them.
sassyNot4u Hi sassy, Wow, I actually think that using a quilting program to lay out the tile is a really creative and clever idea! And I'm glad that my video was able to help you complete the thought. Thanks so much for your compliment as well! :)
Leah, I really appreciate all the detail into your videos. As a diy'er i have learned quit a bit from your channel. Thank you all the effort and energy you put into them.
Lady, if I would have had you as a math teacher in school I could have been an engineer. You make it understandable the first time. Thanks for posting,
I'm laying a diagonal pattern using 6x24 wood look tile in a 12x12 room. I just ran a line from corner to corner and I'm laying my first tile centered in the middle...:-) My opinion, Id rather cut the smaller tile around the edges and keep the larger tile in the main walking area. Since most people keep furniture next to the walls anyway...;-) And everyone should buy one of those contour guage's , which are only about $12. and help you with making cuts along baseboards etc. Don't be afraid of making cuts! I bought the cheapest tile cutting saw at Lowe's and it still works great, even after cutting tons of marble flooring ...:-) The saw blade will not cut you, with a wet saw...:-) Oh, I always lay out my tile and make cuts before I adhere it to the floor...this way, I know I like the pattern or not...:-) And laying it down goes much faster...:-)
Jane thanks for getting back to me. I was surprised it was so soon. New to computers. My wife and I think you are such a good person and knowledgeable love your vids subscribing now. Thanks again. John
Thank you. You explained (and demonstrated) the chalk line application in a way that made sense and stressed the points that were not clear to me. The scary math was another reason I didn’t feel confident enough to rely on my own measure. When the time comes I’ve bookmarked this video so I may have a welcomed visual reference. Cheers Susan 🐾
This video is a great tutorial, she knows what she doing, i just finished laying 1000 sq ft of tile in my house and being that it was built in 2000, it was very square. I did as this video stated and had no problems. Since the house is truly square maybe a 1/2 " off and using 12x24 tiles i have 4 in cuts on each side, out of curiosity and for future reference, why couldn't i have done one 8 in cut and the other would have been a full 12"? Is this video saying that the finished job would look off because its not equal on all sides?
Wow lovely.. highly admire that you share your technical knowledge and technical know-how with public freely. Thanks lot..ohhh amazing. I am so lucky to find your valuable idea after long search.
Would the stacked widths of the grout lines and the recommended 1/4" gap between walls and tile be taken into account when determining the cut sizes of the corner tiles?
I love your tutorials!!! I think you should have a show on DIY or HGTV... QUESTION: how would the math formula work with large format tiles, ie 12” x 24” ? How would you find your cornerstone?
watching this video helped me get my career started. you are an awesome teacher. I would love to have learned from you face to face. Well, I guess I kinda did, lol. plz keep the greats vids coming. you rock
Leah, you are truly amazing. I wish you had one of these done for the diamond pattern. Doing a small 5 x 5 ish bathroom. Thank you for all your videos.
Wow, I've seen too many people layout tile. Some have made mistake that a rookie like me that is good with geometry is able to see from a mile away. Now, none of them have ever started laying tiles from the center of the room. And it does make sense to have the room all balanced up. Even in Home Depot they don't teach that. Thanks for the instruction. ;)
How do you account for the grout lines? Won't your lines be off if you don't take that into account? Grout lines can be 1/16, 3/16, etc. That adds up across a room.
This is amazing for a dyslexic person like me - thank you! However, how do you square up the room for click-together vinyl tile that wouldn't start in the centre, but instead from the right-hand upper side of the room?
This is an amazing video and so detailed and clear n perfect in every way , really appreciate it thanks ! ...... but I’m lost because I have bought the opus pattern (where there are 4 different sizes of tiles involved ) so how could I plan the layout ?😫HELP
Another great video as always, thank you. The math for the layout to get the visual makes sense to me, but where you start tiling is still confusing for me. Why do you have to start with the center tile? If you've already got the math done, can't you just start at the far wall and work backward toward your exit?
You could make more videos on this but a bigger place where you see furniture that’s attached and it’s not even squares or anything even at all ? That will be great if you did , your amazing love the video , keep up the good work
I love the way she explains things, thoroughly but without being condescending.

I totally agree with you brother.
not when the information is wrong
jsjones418 what's wrong with it?
So what about the space between tiles? It was never mentioned.
yes what about the grout, why isnt that taken into account?
Leah, your teaching style and explanations are clear, concise and easily understood. You are an absolutely first rate teacher! 5 stars!
Always enjoy watching your videos. I have been earning a living doing handyman/maintenance work for companies and my own business for decades and I continue to learn something every time I watch one.

I too have dyscalculia, and discovered finally that drawing pictures, manipulating shapes, etc. is terribly helpful.
Really outstanding and well thought out videos. I have finished basements (5 of them so far) and done electrical, plumbing , HVAC etc, so I am no beginner, but certainly not a "pro". I always find your videos as great reviews of technique and really in some instances terrific fundamental reviews....as with repetition sometimes comes sloppiness. Great job here....keep them coming.
Jane not only gives you information she gives you confidence and encouragement.
Not sure if you are still here, but thank you for this video. This was helpful in figuring out how much tile to get and how we needed to lay it out.
Fantastic, glad it was helpful! Good luck with your project.
Hands down the BEST diy teacher on YT or anywhere...seen TOH...they go 100 mph and do not explain ...but she’s the BEST

+seejanedrill You are most welcome. Best wishes -
is just that's what I do for living and I know is not that complicated but I guess this is just for bright people like yourself.
Thanks for the compliment about brightness. I'm not sure I'm any more 'bright' than you or anyone else, but I do what I can to learn what I can and acknowledge people I learn from. Thank you Mr. Torres and best wishes to you and yours in all you do.
I swear, if you had been my teacher in grade school, I would have listened more!!!!!! haha You're great Leah!

Thank you for explaining the math part of this project so clearly. I have Dyscalculia and really struggle with math. I'm just beginning to do DIY home projects and your tutorials help immensely.
i also have dyscalculia and im having such a hard time in classe sometimes, it really is tough for me😭
This is by far the BEST explanation I’ve come across. Thank you.

I was just in Vancouver last month GREAT time. What a friendly, welcoming place, eh!
I UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING. I'm looking forward to watching your other videos. I want to tile my floor but am sooo clueless. I don't have the funds to pay someone to do it hence my visit here. I'm sooooo glad I found you. I am now a subscriber looking forward to watching you do more.
also how do you know where to measure the room I was told to measure my windows in three places do I need to do the same with laying tile?
loner314 Hello! I'm glad you found us. For a simple rectangular or square room, you only need to measure in 2 places...length and width.
I used this guide for my new bathroom and it was perfect. You are great for posting these guides. thank you.
you're welcome, Samuel, glad it worked out for you!
No one should not know how to do this stuff, money is thin around here so doing my own work is a must. Without these videos id be paying someone else money and they may even install it wrong... thanks for taking the time to make these vids
I'd love to apprentice under you. Your instruction is clear and concise. Thanks for the video👍
This is absolutely one of the best videos i have seen about correctly laying tiles.Thank you.Great job
you're welcome, and thank you very much!
Thank you dear. I have a small bathroom to do. I am determined to do it myself but also recognize that I need some help. Your video has been most helpful. Thanks again.
Joanne Viechweg You're very welcome!
You provided the best instructions for finding the center of the room to tile... I believe I can do it.
+Jenean Armstrong yes, you can!! thanks for commenting. :)
Thanks for the tutorial I had forgotten the simple but most important basics. Just finished a tile job and your instruction made it quite simple. Keep 'em coming.

TheSDHJR You're welcome, and thank you! I appreciate the compliment, and am glad my video was helpful to you. :)
Next to the essential craftsman you are my favorite. Great for beginners as well as experienced.

Just want to thank you for the to the point, simple explanation here. I will definitely benefit from watching your video. Thanks!
Dan Futran You're welcome, Dan, and thanks for commenting!
You're the best online educator in the world.
Leah, I really appreciate all the detail into your videos. As a diy'er i have learned quit a bit from your channel. Thank you all the effort and energy you put into them.
You have a strong Sage Grandmother vibe. Truly a pleasure to learn from you.
🙂
As usual your detail oriented of the subject and careful planning is outstanding. Looking forward to see new videos.
thank you very much!
Good tutorial Jane. Clear and to the point. Thanks for your time and efforts to educate the masses of diy.
:)
This was by far the best explanation on laying tile so far that I've seen on youtube. If you can't figure it out .. then good luck.
i must go 5 years to hiscool to understand this😕
Very good lesson! I can never lay tile down properly and this lesson solved all my problems. Thank you !!
Leah,you are the best.When in doubt, I always check your videos.Thanks for sharing.
🙂
Love your videos Leah, this one's a little old, but one of the best on laying out floor tile!!!
you have some of the best videos i have seen easy to understand and follow thank a lot
u explain so well and calm. u have a gift....keep up the good work...I will be back.
+Angel Rivera thanks, Angel!
Lady, if I would have had you as a math teacher in school I could have been an engineer. You make it understandable the first time. Thanks for posting,
Very intelligent woman, love watching her videos. Keep it up !
Absolutely awesome tutorial. Clear, concise and simple, easy to follow instructions.
+SuperArmydog thanks, glad it was helpful!
I'm laying a diagonal pattern using 6x24 wood look tile in a 12x12 room. I just ran a line from corner to corner and I'm laying my first tile centered in the middle...:-)
My opinion, Id rather cut the smaller tile around the edges and keep the larger tile in the main walking area. Since most people keep furniture next to the walls anyway...;-)
And everyone should buy one of those contour guage's , which are only about $12. and help you with making cuts along baseboards etc. Don't be afraid of making cuts! I bought the cheapest tile cutting saw at Lowe's and it still works great, even after cutting tons of marble flooring ...:-) The saw blade will not cut you, with a wet saw...:-)
Oh, I always lay out my tile and make cuts before I adhere it to the floor...this way, I know I like the pattern or not...:-) And laying it down goes much faster...:-)
Thank you, Leah! You're brilliant! Thank you for explaining it in simple terms and math on paper! Saved my remodel and my sanity!
Jane thanks for getting back to me. I was surprised it was so soon. New to computers. My wife and I think you are such a good person and knowledgeable love your vids subscribing now. Thanks again. John
you're welcome, John, and thank you for your kind comments!
Thank you. You explained (and demonstrated) the chalk line application in a way that made sense and stressed the points that were not clear to me.

Wow lovely.. highly admire that you share your technical knowledge and technical know-how with public freely. Thanks lot..ohhh amazing. I am so lucky to find your valuable idea after long search.
thank you, I'm glad you found us too!
You are awesome m, I'll be starting to lay some tile at home and I had no idea where to start, thank you so much!!
+Martin Arreola you're very welcome, Martin, glad it was helpful!
Would the stacked widths of the grout lines and the recommended 1/4" gap between walls and tile be taken into account when determining the cut sizes of the corner tiles?
They loved and responded to every positive comment. Not your accurate question 🤷🏽♂️🤣
I love your tutorials!!! I think you should have a show on DIY or HGTV... QUESTION: how would the math formula work with large format tiles, ie 12” x 24” ? How would you find your cornerstone?
This was incredibly helpful and she taught and at the speed I needed to understand. Love you.
watching this video helped me get my career started. you are an awesome teacher. I would love to have learned from you face to face. Well, I guess I kinda did, lol. plz keep the greats vids coming. you rock
thanks!
Leah, you are truly amazing. I wish you had one of these done for the diamond pattern. Doing a small 5 x 5 ish bathroom. Thank you for all your videos.
Thank you , best ,easiest to follow video on the subject.
Now to figure out how to lay 16 inch tiles in small irregular shaped bathroom .
That was a great video. The presentation was very clear and easy to understand....
thanks, Don, glad you liked it!
Excellent video!! Thank you. Now we feel a lot more comfortable starting our floor.
you're welcome, and good luck with your project!
🙏🏾Thank you for the encouragement and a valuable lesson for first time tile artists.
Wow, I've seen too many people layout tile. Some have made mistake that a rookie like me that is good with geometry is able to see from a mile away. Now, none of them have ever started laying tiles from the center of the room. And it does make sense to have the room all balanced up. Even in Home Depot they don't teach that. Thanks for the instruction. ;)
you're very welcome! 🙂
Thank you so much. You are a very good teacher.
good explaination..always lay all your full tiles first and do your cuts after.
Clear, articulate, and easy instruction. THANK YOU THIS VID SOLVED MY ISSUE! 💚💚💚
fantastic!
Does the calculation include the slight gaps (spacers) between each tile? This must add an inch extra so after a few tiles have gone down?
finally, I can understand this process. thank you
How do you account for the grout lines? Won't your lines be off if you don't take that into account? Grout lines can be 1/16, 3/16, etc. That adds up across a room.
You’re an excellent instructor.
You’re an awesome teacher :) I love it 😻
I learned a lot from this simple and clear tutorial! Nice job Jane! Definitely subscribing to your channel!
This is amazing for a dyslexic person like me - thank you! However, how do you square up the room for click-together vinyl tile that wouldn't start in the centre, but instead from the right-hand upper side of the room?
Great Job with the Explanations.... Really Good!!! Thank you!
Good advice and a technique I've used for many years.
Thank you Leah, I actually believe that I can do this....after I watch you 3 more times. I'm a little slow...
Tiffany, Of course you can do it and good luck with your project!
Awesome video. Question: does the math you laid out to figure where to put the first tile takes in consideration the grout line between each tile?
You're the Best, Ms. Jane. Smart Lady👍
This is an amazing video and so detailed and clear n perfect in every way , really appreciate it thanks ! ...... but I’m lost because I have bought the opus pattern (where there are 4 different sizes of tiles involved ) so how could I plan the layout ?😫HELP
Another great video as always, thank you. The math for the layout to get the visual makes sense to me, but where you start tiling is still confusing for me. Why do you have to start with the center tile? If you've already got the math done, can't you just start at the far wall and work backward toward your exit?
As a certified floor coverer I approve this message 👌🏽
Thanks, Leah! Great to know! Starting our bathroom project tomorrow! Can't wait!
Jane's videos kick ASSSSS
You could make more videos on this but a bigger place where you see furniture that’s attached and it’s not even squares or anything even at all ? That will be great if you did , your amazing love the video , keep up the good work
Another patiently taught and coherent tutorial video, Leah! Thank you always!
+Steve Stanley you're very welcome, Stanley, and thanks for your comments.
Best explanation I've ever seen
Doing my first title job this Wednesday, its 1500feet, but I'm going to give it my best, but thanks for the video, stay safe
