Laying Staggered Floor Tiles

Transcript:
If you look down here. We've already lined these up. Put spacers in between. I'll get them on that chalk line that we set. And now we're stagger and those pieces you saw us cut and staggered. The first one like that, you don't want to be too far away and then pull over because you end up squeezing up that grout up in there.

What we're doing now is putting that, the spacers like so getting it over. Now they make little rubber hammers for that. You do that too. And then I get a a full piece put the spacers in everywhere. Going to each side, and maybe two on the end. Woops. Okay then we have that other third. Ok, there you go. We’re going to start I got to... Now if you remember, we don't have to be that close because you're going to put trim on top of that.

But in this case I'm going to because it's not a big deal for me to do. Now, this is kind of a complex cut right here. All right. So you don't want to be terribly close, because remember we're going to get trim three quarters to five-eighths trim. And so I got my piece here and I'll measure to it. And remember we're going to have a spacer too, 3/16 Mm.

So I have room so I can do four and a half over and I got to have spacer here so I can go inch and a half there. So basically I’m going to have one half an inch for a quarter inch on this. A quarter inch. Yes. I be a little closer there. So inch and a half I'm doing this like drywall and a lot of people can't.

But this is just years and years of doing it. okay. Then the other side, mm, a quarter 12 and a half inches. If I go like that 12 and a quarter. That’s tight, to 12 and I go a quarter inch, I do 12 and three eighths. It shows you the tricky part here, which I brought my little table saw for, but you got to cut this section out so we're going to cut here and here and I'll have to help him with that.

And we'll see if we can figure out a way to cut this. Also, we have one right here, which will be like 11 inch piece. You can use a speed square, things like that. That's the waste which we could cut that down into one of those pieces there, but that's okay. Just keep that out there. There will end up being places.

So that these two pieces to cut, and I’ll go out there with him. But we'll get a rhythm going and we'll show you what's going on.
