Omg,i know this is from 2010 but for anyone looking for solutions on a same problem, its not the morter ,its not the floors its not deflection either that only happens years after tile has been installed, one simple trick the durock or concrete (never ever bare subfloor or over old tile thats is absolutely lazy dirty work) where you are installing must me wet,the tile must be wet everything must be wet,when concrete and durock soak up the water its creates suction. Same if tile is wet that does the trick,thats how it works in tuck pointing as well laying cinder block for commercial walls ,fyi never morter durock ever ever never had this problem but i fixed many do it yourself projects and so called jack of all trades or handymans poor quality work,even when licensed that doesnt mean they know what they are doing,look for experience and verifiable references , cant beleive no one knows this,this separates professionals from handyman being informed before messing with someones property thats all keep everything wet with a spray bottle

Hi I have used this place called Thetileshop.com. they have a lot of locations. I ordered my tile online, and one of their employees delivered it to my door the very next day in the trunk of a Lexus! I never get tired of telling that story. $1200 worth of marble leaves plenty of room in a big Lexus trunk, too! The service was stellar in 2008.

Thank you! They are Conestoga cabs, the blue is SW Commodore (they go off the SW colors), they really are not *that* bright. :) I'm from NY too Audrey! When it came time for the backsplash I waived the white flag financially and decision making-wise. I love the water jet cut tiles a la Ann Sacks and such. I think they would look lovely with what you are talking about. Light blue or green are pretty. If you want to stick with white maybe milk white glass in a staggered brick pattern (not subway tile, they are different sized rectangles, I think I saw them at Tile Bar) But I do love me some subway tile. ;)

I have just had this installed! Entrance, living room and hallway. Yeah I’ll admit I’m a little nervous about maintaining and keeping clean but we’re still mid construction and it’s already looking BEAUTIFUL!! Also I’ve seen it in other ppls houses who stall saying it’s not too terrible
