let me add something, we need more craftsman like this, but with current tech and materials. no so long ago craftsman did what they did just because they had to, sadly, nowadays a lot of craftsmen believe that new products are some kind of "magic" that will do the things right when they did a clumsy job... finally are people like the ones that did build my house, old-tech still clumsy job (being lit 7 years(at slow pace) fixing all the wrong that they did to my house trying to get it not falling apart , I mean It, walls on 2nd floor are 2" to the outside, floor 1" bellow, ceiling 2" above that where it supposed to be (that just on 2 rooms on the 2nd floor of 3 rooms), you could not find a thing square, plum or true if you tried)
Hi thank you for your content I like your videos I wanted to ask a question do you need to remove the mud if you want to replace the tiles , or you can leave the old mud which is in good condition and just remove the thinset and put new tiles?
Back in the day . They should have done all the concrete base first. The water goes inside by the tub and cabinet and rots out the cabinet and floor plywood. How do i know , I do building maintenance on an apartment complex that had all baths damaged because of this😎
@@LayTiles The plumber comes before the tile guy, unfortunately the mortar base stops at the tub. This makes a nice line for the water to go diwn the tub and into that edge . Yes you can caulk . But in the complex where I work they did not maintain it. I had to rip out the base and put new plywood, and even a new floor joist in some apartments.. !!! I will say I notice mortar base works better than cement board used now. It seems some tile guys don't even use thin-set under the cement board, they just screw it down which is pointless , you need thin-set under the board ,any low spots will flex and tile can crack later...
old school, and I like it. we need more craftsman like this
