Thank you so much for taking the time to write these VERY helpful how to's.
I need to replace a broken tile and after reading this I think I'm going
to try it myself.
Thank you!

Rather than using a grinder to remove grout, I suggest you try a Dremel
with a grout removal attachment and bit. The attachment rests in the grout
grooves, and the adjustable bit allows you to cut a grove in the grout
without damaging the adjacent tile. After cutting the first groove you can
use the Dremel free hand to remove the remaining grout up to the tile to be
removed, and then chiesel out the tile. A grinder may be very difficult to
control to avoid damaging the tile to be saved. The Dremel method requires
patience, but works well. You may need more than one Dremel bit.

We recently renovated our home. We now have two porches, front and back of
the house, second story. The builder put fiberglass decking on both
porches. The surfaces on both decks were purposely left with a rough
surface so ceramic could be added later. The builder stated we must wait
for at least 6 months to a year before adding ceramic. Is this correct?
Also suggestions on the type of adhesive utilized for putting down the
ceramic tiles.

What is the best way to care for ceramic floors? How should they be
washed?
Thank you.

Hi Tim, I have a 250 sq ft area with ceramic tile that was sand grouted, I
think they added some Portland Cement to the mix, the thing is they didnīt
remove well all the excess of grout over the tiles and now that it is cured
and dry the tile has a small grey surface that gives the tile a dirty
appearance...I Want to make it look like new again, is there a way to fix
this and clean it?? Thanks Tim.

I cracked 6 tiles in our utility room while moving a full freezer. These
are Daltile porcelain tiles. Is it possible to remove the same tile from
another room & be able to save & clean enough to replace the broken tiles?
I have over 160 in the other room & I plan on replacing them with laminate
flooring.
Thanks for your help.

Our 12" x 12" ceramic tile was installed over our concrete foundation 9
years ago. Now the tile has separated from the foundation and is buck up in
the middle. How can I fix it?

We placed tile on a wood surfaced counter yesterday June 30, 2008, This
morning I got up and grouted the counter and am currently letting it dry
before I place the sealer on it tomorrow. I noticed that the tiles seem to
have puckerd up and become uneven. Is there a way without going through the
other step I can take to remove these and start over since it has only been
a couple of days?
