Anyone here know how to lay bathroom tile floor? Looking for someone who KNOWS what they are doing and has the equipment to cut them correctly. I've got the supplies, just need the know-how. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

I just re tiled by master bath using my neighbors tile cutter that he bought for $150. It is really not that hard at all. I can send some pics if you would like. I am suprised you arent doing this yourself, John.
How many square feet?

A buddy of mine does great work at a good price. He is located in San Jose but with these tough times he could be interested. PM me if you would like more info.

Floors are easy. The hard part is preparing the surface. This is a job you can do yourself. Go to a weekend seminar at Home Depot. They will show you how to install tile and demonstrate this for you. Then when you are ready for your cuts, mark your tile and bring it in to Home Depot to have them cut it. It is .50 cents per cut for straight cuts. Or you can rent a tile saw at most Home Depots. P.S. You don't need a perfect round cut under the toilet. This is a common misconception that people have. If you have any questions, let me know.

Have any specific questions? I worked for a tile setter for about a year and he does high end work. (mostly San Ramon, walnut creek, blackhawk areas). If your just doing a floor its pretty easy, hardest part is getting the lay out right and finding the center of the room
