Great, thanks.

We are wanting to install 6x6 travertine tile as a backsplash. Do we need to use a cement backerboard or can this be installed over drywall? Thanks.

Thanks Jaz. We ended up adding 3/8" plywood over the existing subfloor. When the existing flooring was removed, the subfloor looked like it needed some help. :) We will start tiling in a few days. Looking forward to this project being completed!

One more question (so far)... We have 5/8" subfloor, 10" joists, 16" oc. Can't see the length. I see where some installers state that you can get away with 3/4" subfloor under 12x12 porcelain tile. If we use the 1/8" Ditra, does that make the subfloor adequate or does the subfloor need to be...

Thank you! I was hoping I could do the mat like this.

Hello, we are getting ready to install a new tile floor. Want to use ditra and the heated floor mat. Questions: Do we install the mat or ditra first? Only wanted to use the floor mat in certain areas. Can we do that? If so, can we build up the thinset so the floor remains even where there is...

Hello, I've been trying to sand an area of our hard wood floors to test the new stain color. We are attempting to refinish ourselves. I'm having trouble getting the sander to take off the finish. I bought a palm sander and am using a 40 grit paper. It seems the only area that is coming off is...

I'll give it a try. Thanks for the help!

Thank you. I have the trim (2-1/4") laying flat and cut it at the 45 degree mark.

Hello. I'm using a hitachi c12fdh mitre saw when cutting trims to replace around doorways. When I put the two cut pieces together, they are about a 1/16" off. One cut is longer than the other. I have the saw tightened to exactly 45 degrees on each side according to the ruler strip on the base of...
