  1. How could I do this on a bathroom wall that is already prepped and painted? It’s behind my bathroom vanity.. I just want to tile it to prevent water splashing on an already painted wall.. a mirror will then go between the tiles 🙂

  2. How flush should wall tiles should be flush relative to each other? A handy man tiled my walls, but there is an obvious dip(v-shaped) between two tiles and one is sticking out by a few millimeters(1/16 – 1/8).

  3. Nice guys ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

  4. Fabulous video and job! How did you clean the mortar from the grout joints? Did you run a putty knife through the joints? Seems like sponge alone might not get the joint fully clean. Thanks again!

  8. Well done! Great commentary & visuals. Gorg finished bathroom tileing!🤗🫵👍

  9. Bathroom looks really nice! Good work man

  10. Don't you have to waterproof the concrete backer board ? oh, wait, schulter is your waterproof membrane.

  11. you are not a professional guy, but you have a lot of professional tools. Amazing!

  12. I didnt clean much in the grout lines. Do I need clean it out before I grout?

  13. I just have to replace some tile on my bathroom wall, but now I want to renovate it all, great tutorial, thank you Andrew.

  14. We, it's the first time I tiled bathtub/shower walls… Let just say thank goodness it's a guest shower.. We made lots of mistakes but learned from them.. I will say that my tiles are not all the same size from the box, which threw our lines off.. Almost each tile was a diffrent length out of the box…ahhgggg.. Unfortunately, I waited to remove the thin set, and yes, what a pain.
