Common sense is your best friend when taking on a job such as tiling your bathroom floor. If you happen to ask more than one person how to go about it, then you are going to have more than one theory about what works the best.

Working on about any project certainly has its pitfalls. I have seen guys all my life tell me they were going to fix something on their car and would be over in 45 minutes to an hour, only to be tied up for several more. Well, with just a little research, like reading this article, you can get yourself pointed in the right direction quickly.

Basic steps. That's really what you need. From there, if any problem arises, just be sure and know which step you are on, and which step you are working toward next. Anything in between is just something to solve before advancing.

The First Step - The throne. The toilet must go. Be sure and turn your water off and flush, take a wrench to the brass fitting then take a screwdriver and remove your caps.

Faster isn't always necessarily better. Don't rush. Think about each thing you are doing, and let common sense rule the day. Good common sense and logic is invaluable in this kind of work.

Next, go around and remove your molding from the base of the floor and wall. Be easy if you are going to use the same molding, as some do, and try not to break it.

Next mix your mortar. Be sure and use enough water, but don't make it too soupy. It's mud you're after. You will need a trowel to lay it down and spread it out.

Next Step is to lay your tiles out in whatever pattern you want them. As you lay them, push down on them gently to set them in the mortar and make them stick. Don't forget to use spacers for an even pattern.

Now you take a rubber grout float and some water and apply the grout. Use a wet sponge to clean the excess grout away.

A QUICK STEP REVIEW:

1. The Toilet goes

2. The Molding goes

3. Mix Mortar - Apply Mortar

4. Lay Tile

5. Apply Grout

A bit later after things have already dried, you can apply a sealer to your new floor. Then for now you have to backtrack and replace what you took off. No need for a plan for that, putting things back is just good common sense!
