no John, I do all the tile with my guys.

on another note after cutting the keystone onto the tile we used a grinder with polishing pads to put back on the micro bevel. this was all done in place after they were installed.

thanks Jeff,
the older guy is actually my mechanic, my helper is young since he does the lifting

we finished all cuts today around radius and finished front vestibule.
have to head back and do some odds and ends and I'm done.

Brian, how does the Karl d machine match up v/s the Berta. Have you ever used in a residential setting? Say 500ft etc. In a retooling phase been thinking of getting one. Just can't figure witch one I want or best suits me.

I kind of like the size of the Ramiondo one...lot smaller then my big Tile-eze, but I did get the big commercial one years ago and I use if for open ares.

as for using it on 500 feet, during the boom down here we tile homes that had 500 to 800 ft great rooms and dinning all tiled. I got on the job, set up machine then floated the full floor and then used the machine in about an hour.
it took me longer to clean and pack up then clean the floor.

I'm looking soon to get another but I want a smaller one.
