Tile Shower Walls and Floor

away it goes [Music] uh this is big oh gosh what is this called it is called metro gris grease porcelain tile it's 12x24 i'm gonna make this vertical tile going up use the same thinset quarter inch trowel put it up and i'll show you the leveling system i'm using [Music] hands down the hardest tile job i've ever done this probably my third shower i've done these walls are crazy and they're all load-bearing so there's always there's like a little bow right here and a little bow here and so this is probably the the first two tiles i placed actually when i created a plan these are the lifters that i'm placing in they're just almost working as a spacer as well and then uh these are little wedges that go inside of it and then you have to use this little clamp to compress them together to the right notch size that way they're all leveled and nothing's higher than the other [Music] uh so when it comes to tile saws you don't have to get the 500 model one i got this one for 200 bucks the only thing you're really looking for is a sliding table you don't want to get a table that doesn't slide just because there's a lot of friction and you'll crack a lot of tiles [Music] we're not book smart but at least we're street smart so make yourself little templates we can cut this out now [Music] sometimes you'll do a little exploratory procedure and our situation didn't work out but we'll fix it
