Like
most of you, when it comes to tools, I’m like that proverbial kid in the candy

In the thousands
of years the tile setting profession has existed, the basic components of the
job—the tile, the tools, the setting materials—have experienced relatively

of tile setting—specifically, for the category of mortars.

to a recent poll by the Wall Street Journal, more than 70 percent of economists
surveyed believe the U.S. economy is now in a full-blown recession. For the
past year, it seems that many in the media have been afraid to utter the
much-feared R word, as if speaking it were breaking some sort of taboo.
Whether
you’re an independent installer or an employee of a large flooring contractor,

as your technical expertise. The following are common mistakes that can kill
your reputation.
