Gueuze, someone here is gona say that coulda done that all by lunch time.

Me, I only play a tile setter on TV.

Backsplash looks great. Did you leave the spacers in?

[Chad Deiter Company]

Guezy if you don't want to get shocked all you need is gloves. Or just chance it ....

Jason in his list he says he pulled the spacers I was wondring that too.

[John K]

How much money did you lose doing that splash??

a slang used in the Tile industry and on the John Bridge Tile Forum for thinset mortar or another adhesive used to set tile.

I spotted your problem right off the bat. "Lunch". Keep wasting your time with that nonsense and you'll never get into the "big show".

[gueuzeman]

Lunch allowed the grout to set a bit, almost nessacary.

John K- you sound like gueuzewife.

I hear about how I'm a failure just about every day.

[custombuilt]

those inserts look familiar......another smaller version of something like this?

[ceramictec]

same to me, he just used 2 of the 4 you show.

[Shaughnn]

Yup, I thought they looked familiar also. I set those into an 18" floor about 5 years ago.

Gueuze,
try installing the outlet with the cover before grouting. Saves getting all tingly inside.

olzo

[tilelayer]

Nah, Gueuze wait till your finished to put the covers on, if they are fancy you'll get grout on em.

[custombuilt]

I don't put the covers on till I'm done, but I do screw the outlet back in the wall so's my sponge doesn't hit the side where them hot wires are located.

Also I used to buy boxes of those longer screws till I saw a sparky working on one on a New house....using drywall screws. yep, they work just fine.
