    I think the difference between you and us, you have that positive touch and determination. Most of US on the other side have the motivation and willingness but it’s the partners in the household that have the negative attitude with any project and once executed, the whole project crumbles. Great partnership and positive support, no matter how it turned out, all great energy. Loved it!

    Nice job dude, another great video and the end result looks amazing! For the sake of others watching, I thought I’d share a couple things from when I used to set tile that may help out too: 1) try and match your thin set color and tile color as best you can. That way you don’t have to be as critical with the knife cleaning up before grouting. Also, if you use a natural marble stone instead of porcelain, the dark thin set can really darken the look of the marble, not ideal. Not a big deal if you use porcelain/ceramic though. 2) for corners, also consider making L cuts instead of two separate tiles. This will keep your uniform grout lines. 3) before tiling, think about the focal point and base your pattern off that, and tie it to both vertical and horizontal surfaces. For example, if you snap a line from the center of the fireplace to the top, then use a straight edge and continue that down under the fireplace, onto the bench, and onto the ground, it really brings things together and is more visually appealing. This is absolutely a nit picky thing that NO ONE would notice (unless they set tile), but if you do it, it really is more visually appealing. Your work speaks for itself and it’s still gorgeous - very cool to see you and your wife working on these great projects together too. You should be really proud!

    It looks great... The only thing I would suggest is next time rather than adding a small piece of tile at the end of a row, cut the first piece of tile down slightly. Then you won't need small slithers of tile to fill in gaps.

    When I have small and large pieces like you have on your Hearth stone. I always try to put the small pieces to the back. Not only for looks but also integrity of what will be the most used spot of the area. Small pieces tend to break into pieces and or off quicker. Also useful for decks patios and rock work.

    Definately looks better than the original stone - marble always retains its style no matter what trends come and go. Only slight criticism are the joints in the tiling, if they had have matched up in more of a linear bond it would have been PRO AF!

    was pretty hyped at first, when you showed it at the beginning of the video from far away. But when i saw you doing the tiles and grout on the tile inner edge.. well, you learn by your mistakes. if you are just a bit unlucky, your tiles will crack there. Also, better spend some more time on layout prep. Anyway, i like the DIY stuff you do.

    Honest question; Why use the spacer pieces on the bottom, but then fore-go them on the upper trim? The whole time I was fixated on the small square tiles on the upper face, no spacer was used and I can see the "unsquared" tile the whole time. Grout helps, but one adjustment and it would look way more square. Is this a style preference? Do I have OCD? Am I wasting my time commenting about someone else house and if they enjoy it then that all that matters????

      Agreed. Tile work can be more frustrating than other diy jobs, more cleaning up and keeping clean during the job; mixing of thinset, etc. Cutting is harder than woodworking. and appearance-wise it demands a higher level of precision than other jobs, or it could look really bad.
