removing tile 'mud' under tile, over cement...for floating floor
Comments (6)I did get the first row of tile up as well as the mud with just a garden spade - however, there's a "ridge" in the concrete at this point. Is there a small hand-held concrete sander out there? The space isn't big enough for one of those honkin' concrete sanders. I'm also concerned about removing the tile with any sort of power chisel equipment - I'm afraid of busting through the entire concrete slab and ending up in my neighbor below's living room (I'm in a condo!)...See Morecomposite deck / bleach mold cleaning recommendations negligent
Comments (10)Yo Ken, if your still around your up on this one. Far as Composites go I am with the Larry/whoever We are for the most part. Composites are really no longer using recycled material because there is just not enough of it so most of the raw stuff is virgin,the energy used to make composite is an enviro no no, when its time to remove the project composite is not real big on bio degrade its tricky to burn shreading it would be silly. Bottom line composites are not so enviro freindly. Info like that might suggest its not all that good to clean it either, with anything. I dont agree>> composites will out last Ipe, left to go silver/gray Ipe is as close to no maintance as a person can get. With the softer composites like Choice/MoistureShield even trex= tjunk I have found a coat or two of TWP 116 seals up the decking,locks in the color and keeps mold,mildew,stains from causing major problems. Of course not needing to do this is the reason the Wallet goes for composite in the first place. I my own self dont like composites at all for the reasons stated in several posts here and on other sites. Welcome aboard Larry!!! Sorry I dident understand your intent at the begining .

Comments (11)Yes we did follow all directions. For this large of an area there is a lot of labor because you have to tape and caulk all seams and screws with the Wedi Sealant. Right after the last screw was down the first tile went down. Here is the picture of the completed Wedi surface. You can see we are using the Schluter expansion joints on the edge and through the middle. Double careful not to have cracks. The other thing we did was to pre-place the railing posts directly onto the plywood. I had the railing guy make a 4" plate with welded posts to it. We cut out the wedi board and placed it on the plywood and then wedi taped over the top of it. The plate and bolt heads are just at the level of the top of the 10mm wedi board. After the deck is tiled the railing guy comes over and levels the rail, cuts the post to the right length and welds the railing to the post. The previous rail was attached to the top of the tiles and of course cracked every single one....See MoreConverted garage--deck tiles?
Comments (1)Been in a few homes that turned the garage into living space. Every time it was awkward, because of the location like weaving through a mudroom or pantry to get to, or only partly finishing it so it could revert to a garage like what you plan to do. In our area propane wall mounted brick space heaters would be used...but we are very far from the bay area. If all the neighbors are doing it they would be the best source of information. We used some deck tiles for an area in our home. We used them differently then how you want to, but I think they would work fine as long as you have clearance if doors will swing over them....See Moretjdabomb
