Thanks again, Jim!

Jim, Thanks for that reminder. What do you think about just leaving the thinset in some grout lines and just grout the rest since my grout is the same color as the thinset. Dustin

hi again! i'm still in the process of cleaning the thinset on the grout joints and i'm really having a hard time. also i'm worried that i might accidentally remove more tiles. is it ok if i just leave some of the thinset and just grout the other areas? my grout is the same color as my thinset...

Mike, Thanks for the reply. It's over a concrete slab in a 2nd floor condo. When I took out the old toilet there was a plastic flange and just the wax. I didn't check how it was installed. I just assumed it was flushed to the floor. dde

hi everyone! i just finished putting on the tiles in my bathroom. i overlapped the tile over cement board by 1/8". how will i grout the groutlines of the overlapped area?? thanks!

hi. i'm trying to remove my shower handle. i already removed the small allen screw but i still can't pull it out. is there anything else that i need to take out? thanks!

i'm installing 1/2" hardibacker around my tub and screwed 1/2" furring strips on the studs. the longest screw that hardibacker has is 1 5/8". can i just use other long screws or can i just use roofing nails?
