We literally used this as a step by step guide for our tile project and it was so helpful (along with the product links, loved those!!) - thank you!! *Note to future folks - a different trowel is needed for under the Ditra vs the tile. He mentions this in passing, but I didn't catch it the first time, so wanted to make sure I shared!*

I like that he emphasized his mistakes so we don't replicate them. Most would not do this.

The fact that there was an endearing audience to see the dryer dust bunnies blow is just wholesome.

Quick grout tip: that first wipe you did with a sponge is great, but if you add a couple drops of dawn dish soap, it allows so slip across the tiles and it makes clean up much easier

Thank you! I particularly appreciated you mentioning how you’d do something different/alter a step. Your mistakes shed light on questions I didn’t know I had for this!

Thank you for including your comments on what you wish you'd done differently, that's so much more helpful than watching an over-edited "perfect" job!

I appreciate how to made this film and didn’t edit out the mistakes. It makes it way more “real” and ensures I avoid making the same mistakes. Great work!

Coming from the tile industry, I really appreciated calling out things that were done incorrectly or things you should have done differently. Tile is not easy to install, but your end product looked nice. By the way, I’m not an installer, just a manager.

This is a great project for learning a new DIY skill. The project is small, tucked away where no one will ever see it. This allows you to be confident and ok with making and learning from mistakes. As a DIYer, myself, it irritates me when people only focus on what you're doing wrong. I thought your finished product was perfectly adequate for its purpose and now you can take the learning points and critiques and do a better job on a larger project.
