Didn't know you could add that much mortar to make things level (Flat!!). Came here using the search term "Installing wobbly tile" and yours popped up. I had a hunch I could just add more mortar, but you proved it. I was amazed at just how much you had to add in some areas. Thanks for this video - you do fantastic work.
I used a mortar that says it can be built up to 3/4", so, make sure your mortar or thinset can be built up that much as well. Thank you for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed the project
A plunging wet saw makes tile work much more enjoyable! I ended up with the DeWalt and really like the 10" blade when doing thick pavers. Floor looks awesome!
if you were going to replace your cabinets would you recommend placing tile underneath the cabinets as well? We have a similar project and are wondering what most do with the dishwasher, cabinets and , in our case, a gas stove.
Not having tile underneath the cabinets allows you to easily install the toe kick and in case you need more height underneath the counter for the dishwasher etc you could leave it out. Thanks for watching
@@horstcarpentry Thanks for your quick reply! I current have vinyl flooring on my kitchen floor that I want to tile over with porcelain tiles. WOuld I be able to tile over top of the vinyl tile? None of the tiles are curled though a few are scraped or scratched probably from normal wear as they have been there for 15 years. They were well rolled into place with a weight roller so I trust they are probably stuck for life. My other reservation is that there are squeeks in two corners of the room. I wonder if I could just drive floor screws through the joists where the squeeks are coming out of? Thanks!
Thanks for the video. I’m planning a similar project with a wavy sloped floor. Did you use trowels with bigger notch sizes for the areas where you had to use the thicker mortar?
I installed hardwood flooring in my kitchen including in the areas where the dishwasher and range go. My cabinets are installed on the subfloor, which reduced the opening height for the dishwasher. When shopping for a new dishwasher that would fit in the opening, my choices were extremely limited. Would you recommend not including the finished flooring underneath the dishwasher? Thanks
That is a tough one when you lay flooring afterwards. You really just have to use your best judgement when laying the flooring underneath to ensure you can still install the dishwasher. Thanks for watching
Must've been about two weeks in total. It was very slow and tedious. It also was over the Thanksgiving holiday. That didn't help it go any faster. Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed the job
14:30 are you all blind?? that floor is wavy as hell just like anyone with a brain knows it would be. skipped the whole video as soon as i saw what you were doing. yea that's new tile but you better not advertise that as high quality work in any way. thats insulting tbh
You’re the man, no leveling clips and not afraid to build up a little (instead of self leveling) to get flat. Great job
Thanks, this was some wild tile work
Great to see a DIY job with real issues to fix, like the wavy floor. Top job.
Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed the job

Wow, you are neat! That is excellent quality work! Take care.
Thank you very much
Nice work on the tile floor ...
Thank you
Did you not use some type of uncoupling membrane or did you just install the tiles directly to the plywood/subfloor? Thanks!
No, I did not use a decoupling membrane. I installed Hardie tile board onto the subfloor before laying the tile down. Thanks for watching

You could certainly screw down through the vinyl to quiet the squeeks, but, I would lay down some tile board on top of the vinyl before tiling.

I'm pretty sure I used a 3/8" x 3/8" trowel for all the tile work. I wish you the best...this was a difficult job to knock out. Thanks for watching

Thats a ton of hard work! Well done. How long did that floor take you to complete?

Are you going to show what you did for the window trim?
Absolutely I have a couple more clips that will show some of the finishing work. Thanks for watching
Looks good! When/what is the next project?!!!😀
I have a renovation of a sun room addition coming up soon. Hopefully I'll have some free time soon to edit and get another clip uploaded. Thanks again
Should've used tiles leveling system!
Just an amateur tile guy what do I know....😀
Nice work what size trowel are you using ?
Thank you and I think it was a 1/2 x 3/8. Thanks for watching

There’s one Fkn lip, that’s damn good for a non pro not using leveling clips.
