Message: [QUOTE="BParkDog, post: 3790603, member: 10930"] I've done many tiling jobs and multiple remodels of various rooms/commercial structures, including bathrooms. 1st, if you have the time and inclination, I strongly recommend that you take on the job. Yeah, it won't be perfect. Yeah, a pro would do a better job. But, for me at least, you'll get tremendous satisfaction every time you walk in that bathroom, pretty much forever. Also, you'll save a lot of money, gain experience, and moot the possibility that you have a contractor issue. My experience with contractors are that the good ones are worth a high premium. They are out there. They tend to be very busy, and very backlogged. In today's world of banana-republic printed money for everybody, they are getting scarcer. A good % of contractors, particularly the young ones, are headaches waiting to happen. I won't say anything else about that, other than to do your due diligence before hiring anybody to touch your house. Regarding your project - don't underestimate the time. There are almost always issues that you can't see when you start. Virtually all are solvable, given time, patience, and, sometimes, funding. If you're thinking 2 weeks, working every day 4-8 hours, then that is probably about right. If you are nights and weekends, then 2 weeks will go by very fast. With YouTube, you can find a video on virtually anything. If you have a buddy or a relative, great. If you don't, or you want to do it yourself, there is a video for everything. If there's not, DM me and I'll point you in the right direction. Tiling is awesome. I've tiled a lot. I've done all of it with a 120$ home cheapo wet tile saw. It gets the job done, and with very good results. It's messy. You can rent/buy better saws and tile breakers (no water). Tiling is all about the prep. If the wall/floor is prepped right, and you focus on keeping your trowel at the correct angle when you spread, then it's very difficult to screw up the job. Even my first job looked decent to a non-tile pro. My last job (so far), was on an old, uneven floor and . . . it came out pretty nice. DM me with any questions, pics, and so on. [/QUOTE]
