it doesn't split the face frame all right guys we're getting ready to install the tile i made sure to scrape up all the linoleum adhesive so it looks perfect this is a polished porcelain towel i got it from lowe's i'll link the description it's not expensive at all i think the whole thing cost me maybe like 150 bucks now the leveling system i'm using is this uh marshalltown fast cap system it has these little spacers these are 1 16 of an inch put them together then you roll the cap on these threads and i'll level the the tile to make sure that it's completely flush with the next tile next to it now because we're using a large format tile we have to get a large format tile tile mortar for the floor we're going to apply it on the ground and then use these half inch trowels to create these layers and on the back side of the tile we're going to do what's called a back butter button that makes sure that everything gets sticky on both sides there's no air bubbles and it can be picture perfect all right guys it's been a one full day the tile is all cured man i'm a huge fan of this marshall town fast cap system like i said i got it at lowe's super easy to use very happy probably the best tile job i've ever done i will go on record say that now to pop these off this is really cool you got to just kick them in the direction where this line is set up so if this flap is sideways you got to kick it this way not that way so here's an example look at that how easy it's officially grout time so we're using this a sanded mix you can do it as small as 1 8 to as high as 5 8 of a joint and then once mixed up using a grout squeegee to push it all in place okay it's like 28 degrees outside my hands are freezing i think this is ready to go let's do it all right we'll let it sit for about 15 30 minutes and then we'll start taking a sponge and cleaning everything up so now i have a video where i show you
