Size, type, pattern? Before and after pics?

Better be natural stone and you better have a polisher/grinder to take care of any lippage or Mattwaz will look down on you more than he already does.

It's not hard. Just make sure to start in the center of the room.
Don't put 18" tiles on shower walls!!! :nono:


(Pain in the...pay someone else to do it. I hired a reputable messican and he didn't finish the job.)

Sore knees and back coming.......




Seriously though, bounce a golf ball in the center of each tile right after you set it so you don't get any frustrating hollow sounding one that you will rip out and replace in 3 weeks.
 
What are the red things with the white sticks and how do they eliminate grinding?

skip to about 3:45 to see them installing them. there are a variety of other brands and similar systems. No way would i ever resort to grinding to eliminate lippage when these systems exist.
