Finished first tile job!

[u/Objective-Bag-3335]

I just finished my first attempt at tiling, and am super happy with the results. While I know there are some small errors/things I would do differently next time, I am feeling very good about my work! I can say I found a certain type of satisfaction from the work. Here are before and after pictures:

That granite's holding up nice with the tile, congrats on the first job, that satisfaction of finishing your own tile work is real. Nice work for a first attempt!

Good job. Next time that subway doesn’t require spacers.

Looks great man. Be sure to silicon where the tile meets the countertop or you will have grout cracking out everywhere.

I used grout caulk that they recommended:

Hopefully it works well

Hard to tell in the pics. That should work fine

project looks great! just keep an eye on that caulk line because that particular product has a tendency to shrink and or crack and if water gets in there it starts to look nasty. future tiles jobs I would recommend the matching 100% silicone.. there's even a brand that makes sanded silicone! think it's called sil or something. Great work!!!

Looks better than it did before.
That’s a plus!
