by the way, glad to see some people are actually using their trucks for their intended purpose, and not just driving a truck to try to prove their a man, whoops did i affend anyone?

 

I have a v6 and load pallets of tile on my truck all the time. Id ask if you need an installer but youre just a bit of a drive away. But if ya have any questions or problems with the installation let me know. Union tile setter.

 

well i got the 18 boxes of 18x18 tile (1200 pounds) and it worked just fine,thanks guys! hey wyseguy,u have any tips for installing the 18x18 tiles? im doing 270 sq ft and we used 1/2" cement board.lowes said to use 1/2" x 1/2" trowels (square notch) is that right?

 

Yup, make sure you use mesh tape on the seams to prevent cracks, and spread the back of every piece to insure bond, thinset needs a little help bonding to porc. tile (just use the flat side of the trowel) Remeber prep work is a huge part of the job. Fix humps and dips prior to installing tile. If your using spacers make sure you check the tile to insure consistant sizing so you know what to expect. If youre doing a long run I'd give yourself a control line on the floor with a chaulk line to insure your joint stays straight. I could go on and on. You're not doing much so just remeber to take your time, the larger the tile, the more difficult the installation. Make small amounts of thin-set to begin with and dont let it glaze over on the floor or you will have bond issues.

 

Wait, you guys have a tow haul button? All i have is an O/D off button on the shifter. What the hell.

 

If I push that button a couple times it will go thru the different options, tow haul then o/d off.

 

thanks wyseguy
