This lens is an introduction into a 4 video instructional course on Tile Installation.
As some of you may already know, I only promote the best instructional courses, products and services your hard earned money can buy.
And because of my extensive research and/or real life experience, you can be assured that you will most likely not be offered a better course than the one I'm presenting you right here.
The courses instructor has been in the tile & marble installation business for over 23 years and has vast experience in commercial and residential projects (a sample list of jobs are furnished on his webpage).
He's also a certified teacher so he knows how to deal with everyday average people such as you and me. Everything he speaks is in layman's terms. After completing each section you will know exactly what you're supposed to do.
He leaves no stones unturned and even offers to answer any questions you may have at any point after receiving his course (his home phone number is listed on his webpage).
His product and service is so good that he offers a 60 day guarantee (most only offer 30 days).
This course is instantly down-loadable and the videos are ready to be watched from your computer monitor right away. You can also have a CD copy of the course mailed to you if you prefer (shipping charge may apply).
** Side Note: Back in May of 2007 I ordered this educational course so My Father & I could learn more about laying tile. Needless to say.. we tiled almost every room in my parents house and they've had compliments from quite a few people. (One of these days the last 2 rooms will get done)
Speaking of videos.. take a look at this small sample video before I tell you what's included in the course..

Here's Just A Few Aspects That Are Covered...
- Making Cuts On The Cutter Board. As with anything, there is a right way and a wrong way. Warning: Do this the wrong way and it could cost you a lot of money in broken tile. I'm going to show you the correct way to cut your tile to ensure you get the slice you need. Don't worry it is as easy as doing what I do!
- Making Cuts With The Tile Saw. See it in action! You may not even need the saw but just in case you do I show you exactly how to use it safely and effectively.
- Watch Cutting Around Faucets, Jams And Wall Plugs. Sound difficult? Once you watch this video, not only will you be able to perform this task effectively but with speed. You will not believe just how easy it can be!
- Using The Tile Nippers (When And How). This is another critical task that could cost you big if not done correctly. However, once you master this bad boy you can literally cut the time of your tile job in half!
- Sizing The Joints. The size of your joints can mean the difference between a professional tile job and an amateur job gone bad. However, using this one short cut I'm going to show you, you could not only save the entire tile job but it is so effective that...your friends will swear you've been doing this for years!
- Installing Backer-Board. How hard can it be? A hammer and a few nails and you're ready to go right? Not so fast. First, let's go over the do's and dont's. The last thing I want you to do is end up ripping it up and starting over. Watch as I walk you through the correct process.
- See How To Lay It Out. Don't go by your instincts alone. Watch my video as we get this down to a simple science using up-to-date short cuts that even many seasoned tile setters don't know about!
- How To Mix And Spread Thin-Set. Without proper instructions you could waste a lot of thin-set (and money) trying to figure this one out! You don't want to mix your thin-set to thin and you sure as heck don't want lumps in it! I will show you exactly how to mix it to a perfect stir. It is easy as one, two, three!
- How To Grout Ceramic Tile! It's really simple once you learn it. Let's make sure you get it right the first time by leaving no pinholes in your grout (trust me they are ugly). I'm also going to show you the easiest way to clean it so you don't end up with smudges covering your beautiful tile job!

Here's Just A Few Samples Of Common Mistakes Made When Setting Tile..
Some of these mistakes can really cost you time and money !
Mistake Example #1 Laying out floor tile incorrectly: of course this one problem alone could cost the entire job. However since we're trying to make a point, let's assume the best case scenario. So, your job is off course causing a small curve in your floor. Nothing a small grinder can't fix. We will even take it a step further and assume the curve only stretched out 6 feet resulting in only 12 ruined tiles and a hand full of grout.The cost of that mistake = $18.00
Mistake Example #2 Breaking or chipping more than 20 tiles: count yourself lucky if you don't have any knowledge about cutting tile and you only break or chip 20 pieces = $30.00
Mistake Example #3 Ruining only one good bag of mortar: once again we're assuming the average newbie is very lucky = $13.00
Mistake Example #4 Ruining only half a bag of grout: you would be surprised at how easy this could happen simply by not following a few simple instructions = $12.00
Mistake Example #5 Not correctly spacing your tile: depending on how many tile you misplace this one mistake could really add up. But let's just say you only misplace about 20 tiles = $30.00
Mistake Example #6 Using random size tile: it happens all the time. You think you're getting a good deal on your tile, pop your line, make your cuts, then before you know it you notice the tile you spent your hard earned money on is all different shapes and sizes. How did this happen? Let's assume that this is just a glitch (very unlikely) and you only come across 17 odd shaped tiles. Wasted tiles = $25.00
Mistake Example #7 Not cleaning the grout correctly: you may not even notice the mess until the next day. One minute you have a nicely done grout job and the next minute you notice smudges all over your beautiful tile! Hiring someone to clean this mess could cost a fortune. However, let's be modest and assume all it needs is a good buffing. Cost to rent buffer = $45.00
Mistake Example #8 Re-assembling pipes, toilet or sink incorrectly: obviously there is a number of things that could go wrong when making this mistake such as flooding, or even severe plumbing damage. However, let's just assume the best case scenario. Perhaps you only cause a small leak that is quickly repaired resulting in the staining of your grout stretching only 3 feet of your tile job. Three feet = about 14 pieces of tile = $28.00
Mistake Example #9 Incorrectly grouting with epoxy: this could cause a real problem with your grout not setting up properly. However, once again, we're going to be fairly modest and assume you were only grouting a small area resulting in a loss of only half a bag of epoxy. = $21.00
Mistake Example #10 Not properly preparing the surface: once again, this is something that could cost the entire job. However, for the sake of proving a point we will assume the best case scenario. Let's assume there were no problems with the actual "surface" itself. Although, it wasn't properly cleaned resulting in loose tiles. Furthermore, we will assume this was a fairly small tile job resulting in the following losses: half a bag of grout, only 5 chipped tiles and half a bag of thin-set. Modest estimate = $23.00
** Note: Those are just a few of the small mistakes people make. Much bigger ones could cost the entire job.
However, I think you get the picture.
