I wouldn’t expect you to do anything BUT a complicated pattern!!! And I believe it will be STUNNING!!! You are providing a valuable tiling education for everyone!!! The work you do is always BRILLIANT!!! You’re looking a lot like tiling EXPERTS!!! What a great episode!!! 🥰🎶❤️🇨🇦
The opus pattern and alternating grain go together so well! And the grout color is the cherry on top. It suits so well with the old house and the lime walls
Only you two could decide on a complex tile pattern to complicate an already complex build! I love the result. Testament to your vision ( and that other RUclipsr of course)!👏👏👏
Don’t worry, there are times when frustration gets the better of us but we try as much as possible to enjoy the process. Slowly and carefully with patience thankfully wins more times than not
You need one length of wood on opposite sides, on two sides, that are the same height you want to achieve. Then you need a third length of wood to run upon the two rails. This will help you get the even thickness of mortar needed to stick the tiles to the floor. Sorta like you do with chosticks and a rolling pin to get pastry dough to an even thickness.
Beautiful pattern for a beautiful stone! Kudos for your thoughtful renovation processes and bringing a glorious home back to life! May you reap many years of enjoyment!
It helps if you lubricate the blade with a bit of water on the stone tile as your cutting it. It helps dissipate the heat on the blade too. Also, your mortar mix seems a bit dry for large format stone tile. I've done this before. Mapei makes a mortar specific to what you are using. It and their customer service are excellent. They also have tutorials on RUclips. It makes it easier to remove the excess grout if you use a stone sealer first, let it dry, and then grout.
What a challenge! Compounded by the heat! It's wonderful you get along and work so well together! My husband and I are both Taurus (that's what I blame it on anyway) and do not work well together! He has thoughts/plans in his head, thinks he's told me "the complete plan" and I have no idea what we're doing! Makes for very tense situations! GREAT JOB! Looks beautiful! You're both amazing!!!
❤ love it. Thank you for persisting until your mix was perfect. And stopping when things were not the right consistency. Great determination to get it right .
We had that same pattern on our very large patio, I think I went up the stairs and hung out the window about 50 times to see which size to lay next. My husband just couldn’t get his head around it. But definitely worth it in the end. Team work makes the dream work ❤️❤️❤️
I'm an Architect and I'm following you since you've started your project. Now that tile pattern that you want to make is interesting but it can turn into a nightmare very rapidly with tiles of different sizes. Keep it simple. Keep on keeping on. 🙏
I would have been swearing up a storm. I love the research, time and effort you put into your work. The floor looks awesome! Great job! Much love to all! 💕🥂🇨🇦
Love watching how you both execute your ideas. I do watch a number of videos but I must say you are by far the best when it comes to tidying up as you work along......what a pleasure to see it all so clean and tidy!!!
I’m a fan of @calrog channel as well. He and his family have recreated and restored their beautiful property in France. And but of course you would be in keeping with this intricate historical pattern in kind. Stunning!
Well that’s a jigsaw and a half, beautiful tiles and I forgot to comment but I thoroughly enjoyed the vlog @ the mine. Lol, make the workmen take their shoes off 😆😉👍🤷♀️
A very practical and beautiful choice of tile! My kitchen was tiled using just two sizes, but your pattern is more interesting - and more challenging to achieve. You'll be looking at it for the next 50 years so it was worth the effort.
Your floor looks beautiful! 😍 Perfect timing with your video as we're starting to lay our Terrazo Tiles in our kitchen next week. We got to learn from watching your progress. ❤
Oh dear, signs of an alcoholic - hiding your wine bottles in the laundry - haha! Just kidding - BEAUTIFUL choice and BEAUTIFUL work! I hope you'll let us see the whole floor pattern when you do the sealing (or even now :) You are so lucky to live in Europe where you can still get quality materials and customer service. If I weren't old and tired I'd be moving to Portugal where I could grow and press my own olive oil.
Beautiful tiles well done you two! So nice to to see a husband and wife team working together! You both deserve a good dinner and the finest wine to go with your meal! Love your videos!
You're really brave! Nothing seems to scare you. I believe professionnals use a saw with water to cut tiles. Wow! You two really impress me! Through multiple do overs, you always get things done and done well. Everything you touch turns out beautifully. And never a boring moment when watching you!
Thanx for sharing tile pattern is stunning and worth all that effort and testing of ur patience. I love the thin grout line looks amazing can inagine how good it looks in reality. So happy url managed to get it all ready. Njoy the break❤
I love how tenacious you both are about ‘getting it right’. The floor looks beautiful, although I’d have been quite happy for you do do a linger shot of it to more fully appreciate it. Hope the pump work went well.
It almost brought a tear to my eye seeing you guys put down the final layer of the floor (even if only in the smallest of rooms). It's a long way from the big hole in the ground you started with. All that hard work finally has a result or the beginning of a result! Well done.
Congratulations on all this tiles laid! It was definitely a hard core puzzle job! You're hard workers and deserve my respects for the beautiful results!👍👍👍👍👍
When you see the pro's do it , it's how you wish you would do it but when you see some one who has less experience do it, it show's more realism to how it would go for people like me. Well done 😀.
Absolutely love your content. Your confident and considered approach to first time DIY is perfection. You should be really proud of every bit you’ve created thus far.
It is sad that I enjoy watching you make mistakes. I will likely never have to do what you guys are doing, but I appreciate the efforts to show ALL the steps (including the redo's). Fun to watch, educational and relaxing in a twisted way. I look forward to every video and cant wait for the one day when you can move in and enjoy the fruits of your labors. Great job guys. |n a world of crazy, it is nice to see sanity still moving forward.
Fabulous! You did an excellent job and it must really feel like a milestone has been reached. That should be a great psychological boost for you. Very well done :)
Hello ! As the other comments are pointing out: you are as hard working as ever ! I think tiles behave differently if they are cut under water: they are less brittle. So if it is a viable option for you, you could avoid shards and chipping that way. Water adds lubrification while cutting too. Good luck !
“ draw” a line with your machine first to break the surface, then go deep. You are doing great Opus is a beast and you keep making mistakes. You will get there.
Bravo, you two!!! The tile work looks incredible, truly amazing. Kylie DOES need to drink as much wine as possible whilst doing laundry! Seriously, Guy. lol. Love the work done on the room.
Looks so good!! I love watching you guys overcoming challenges and not give up even if you have to start over even more than once! It's so inspiring! Much better than only seeing things that work perfectly every time the first time, like other channels do it. :)
Yey first room that let’s call it done 🎉 congratulations! Time for a good bottle of wine to celebrate 🎉 You guys are amazing, I truly admire your strength and will ! I wish you smooth days ahead with your projects !😊
You both have the patience of a saint. All the prep, planning and doing and redoing would try a saint. A job well done. You guys ROCK!
I wouldn’t expect you to do anything BUT a complicated pattern!!! And I believe it will be STUNNING!!! You are providing a valuable tiling education for everyone!!! The work you do is always BRILLIANT!!! You’re looking a lot like tiling EXPERTS!!! What a great episode!!! 🥰🎶❤️🇨🇦

haha that was a unexpected throwback. lovely, thorough job as always and I'm very eager to learn about the heat pump 😃
Years we’ve been waiting to do an opus floor … totally worth it 😃
Hi guys I would of probably installed the heat pump & ensured the heat pump works ok before laying stone…not so helpful sorry 😅
@@justinwestcoachingexcept the heat pump tank sits on the stone floor
It’s always fun to be watching a channel and there’s a mention of another channel that we also watch!!
I love Carl Rogers. One of my favorite channels.
I really admire your frustration tolerance!

Do you think they are going to re lay it all because of your comment?
well I'll be....I never knew about chopsticks and a rolling pin - lol
@@bridgwllno but it may help with the rest of the flooring.
Good tip😊
@@bridgwll Probably not, but they are going to tile the remainder of that floor. The tip is good.
Beautiful pattern for a beautiful stone! Kudos for your thoughtful renovation processes and bringing a glorious home back to life! May you reap many years of enjoyment!
Yes my sentiment.
Also..just amazing
We are lucky for journey!!
Vocês estão a fazer um excelente trabalho 😊 já merecem um jantar no jardim da Sertã 😂😂❤

That floor looks awsome !
A timeless stone to a fantastic pattern.
Congratulations on the good work and good taste.
Carl Roger's work is next level, a bit like the two of you👌
Beautiful design and floor !
Great work !
👏😀❤️

Impressive work. Progress is amazing. Thanks for sharing from Australia.
Good morning, Kylie and Guy. You two continue to amaze me with your skills! The floor looks gorgeous❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏
Wow.. Talk about sweat equity. Wonderful video. Thanks for taking us along.
The tiles are gorgeous! ❤
I watch him too, he is an amazing builder and very meticulous with the jobs he does.
Congrats on your timing! 😅
Those tiles are exquisite! 💓The pattern is really something different. Pat yourselves on the back for job well done.
Wow, those large tiles in such a small space! I get heart palpitations on this side!!! Very well done!
A very practical and beautiful choice of tile! My kitchen was tiled using just two sizes, but your pattern is more interesting - and more challenging to achieve. You'll be looking at it for the next 50 years so it was worth the effort.

The floor looks great! I love how you redo and redo until it is perfect. It shows that you take great pride in what you do. Your work is impeccable!
Once again you both rock !!! thanks for sharing the good the bad and the ugly - together we learn. Hugs to you both
Been a contractor for over 30 years and I say "TAKE FORTY!!:)" it is the ONLY way to learn. Enjoy the process.
Hello from New Zealand..I just love the tiles laid like this. They could look rather boring, but wow you have done an amazing job.
Carl Rogers is great to watch so skilled, I hope you watch Kris Harbour too!! Those tiles are beautiful, love the Opus pattern. Well done.👏🥳💕
Beautiful job guys! What I love is you never give up. Much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸 💖
You two are so patient. I'm definitely not on the same level when it comes to work detail. Very impressive.
Beautiful tiles well done you two! So nice to to see a husband and wife team working together! You both deserve a good dinner and the finest wine to go with your meal! Love your videos!
Wow! love how you work together. Problems and "undo" are only part of the process. Keep up the great work.
You guys crack me up. Picking the most complicated pattern. I know you guys will rock it!!! I’m glad the look amazing. 😊
You're really brave! Nothing seems to scare you. I believe professionnals use a saw with water to cut tiles. Wow! You two really impress me! Through multiple do overs, you always get things done and done well. Everything you touch turns out beautifully.
And never a boring moment when watching you!
Very nicely done tiles. It looks wonderful.
Yaaaaay! So happy for you. The floor looks amazing. Can’t wait to see the house all done.
I am more and more amazed by what you guys can do! You are really inspiring !!
Wauw! That looks awesome guys! Doing a dry run always makes the difference 😁
UNDO! UNDO! UNDO! I dearly love you guys.
Thanx for sharing tile pattern is stunning and worth all that effort and testing of ur patience. I love the thin grout line looks amazing can inagine how good it looks in reality. So happy url managed to get it all ready. Njoy the break❤
Again, really enjoy your videos. Always informative and entertaining.....thank you.
I love how tenacious you both are about ‘getting it right’. The floor looks beautiful, although I’d have been quite happy for you do do a linger shot of it to more fully appreciate it. Hope the pump work went well.
Very nice. I didn't feel like we got a good view of the finished floor, but we'll get to see it when you're sealing the floor. I salute your patience.
It almost brought a tear to my eye seeing you guys put down the final layer of the floor (even if only in the smallest of rooms). It's a long way from the big hole in the ground you started with. All that hard work finally has a result or the beginning of a result! Well done.
The floor looks totally amazing
Very exciting to have the heat pump on its way!
They look awesome. I detest tiling and I can only imagine how hard fitting something this heavy is. Another great job . Well done guys .
I bought a Rubi washboy when I tiled my wife’s office floor, it was a godsend for grouting.
Congratulations on all this tiles laid! It was definitely a hard core puzzle job! You're hard workers and deserve my respects for the beautiful results!👍👍👍👍👍
Love the tiles!! You did a great job even though it took three takes to get the right consistency. :)
huge smile on my face, great progress!
When you see the pro's do it , it's how you wish you would do it but when you see some one who has less experience do it, it show's more realism to how it would go for people like me. Well done 😀.
WOW! The floor looks amazing! Heat pump, what a milestone for you two! Congratulations!!😄😄 I hope you are doing something to celebrate
I was certain it would be amusing to watch two perfectionists pull this one up:))))
That is an interesting way to lay those tiles. The mortar looks more like what you would use to build a shower pan base.
I was cheering you on and clapping on your 3rd attempt. The tiles look really nice well done you two and hope the kittens are getting big now.😊
A lot of hard work but worth it . . . they look beautiful . . .well done.
You both have great patience.
by far my favorite yout house building proyect
So glad to see you getting to the finishing of the rooms! Great video!
Beautiful tiles 😊
If you want to cut through a tile, it is best to first clamp a thin wooden slat on the line to be cut. You get a nicer straight cut line. 😊
You're much braver than me. I've tiled many a wall, but always bottled out when it comes to flooring. Great job
Looks great. It reminded me of laying a stone wall on the ground, with the issues you had with the “adhesive”
Absolutely love your content. Your confident and considered approach to first time DIY is perfection. You should be really proud of every bit you’ve created thus far.
I can't wait to see your house when it's finished you guys do such an awesome job every step of the way

Congrats for the beautiful tile layout!!!! You're really hard workers and everything you do is brilliant!!!
Outstanding!!!
If anything......you two have the patience.
Such a perfect job.😅❤
It looks beautiful, I had no doubt that it would turn out perfect as the both of you do great work. Enjoy your rest looking forward to next video. 😊

Hi from Florida - LOVE this OPUS pattern! Thanks for sharing the pattern with us!
I love watching you two work I really admire what you are doing. Thank you

For " just two diyers" you did an awesome job.I love the tiles and the pattern.
Super job!👏🏻👍🏻
Great work you two. Looks fabulous as always.
Phew, I was holding my breathe until you said seal the stone.
Looks so good!! I love watching you guys overcoming challenges and not give up even if you have to start over even more than once! It's so inspiring! Much better than only seeing things that work perfectly every time the first time, like other channels do it. :)
Nice and cool in summer and toasty in winter. Terrific job.
Yey first room that let’s call it done 🎉 congratulations! Time for a good bottle of wine to celebrate 🎉
You guys are amazing, I truly admire your strength and will !
I wish you smooth days ahead with your projects !😊
What a great looking tile, with a pattern worthy of it.
Always enjoy watching your channel. The floor is magnificent! Also, your problem solving skills are impressive.😀
Floor looks awesome!!!🎉
Love your tile choices. They are beautiful.
