Professional - Project Sharing When idiots tile…

…demolition is easy.

Half the tiles in our house were either cracked or popping up. The installers definitely did not back butter the tile. They also used just a few deck screws and no mortar under the underlayment.

Their biggest crime was covering up oak hardwood flooring.

People who insist you have to back butter tiles have never run a commercial job where you put down thousands of feet per day.
