Tile Tips
- Use a product like Dura Rock, not Sheet Rock, Dura Rock is basically a sheet of concrete, your Tile will last a long time. If you use Dry Wall, even the Green Board, if water gets under the Tile it will start rotting it , with the concrete board, the concrete will absorb the moisture and evaporate it.
- Put a sealer on your Tile and Grout, keeps it cleaner longer.
- Never use a pure white grout, use an off white, white really shows the dirt.
- Remember that if you use a shinny Tile on the Bathroom Floor, when step out of the Tub wet feet and slick Tile! Buy a rug with a rubber backing or use a Tile that is Designed for wet area's.

Flooring Tips
- If you have a bubble in your Vinyl Floor and they want a fortune to fix it, get a Hypodermic Needle and a small can of Flooring glue, use the hypo to shot some glue under the vinyl flooring, run the rolling pin over it a few times, then lay a stack of heavy books on it for a day or two.
- If you have a small room and you would like to do it yourself, try those stick down tiles easy to install and if one gets damaged, pull it up and replace it.
- For you do it your selfers, those 12" x 12" stick down Tiles are slick, I use them in my house, just make sure the floor where you are putting them, has been cleaned good, if there are any holes or cracked seams, fill the holes and smooth it out good with something( putty knife, flat stick, spatula ), cut the bad seam out then fill it in and again smooth it out, then take some sand paper and sand them smooth after it dries, then paint over the patch with a gloss paint, the tiles will stick better. Use a powder floor filler product to fill with, just mix it up and fill away, all hardware stores carry it, they may even have some that is ready to use. If you ever need to replace a tile just pull it up and put in a new one.
