Message from Paul:"Once a year our neighborhood has a home tour. This year the benefiting charity is a local dog shelter. The organizers asked local craftsmen to build a dog house to be put up for auction. Being an old school Italian tile man, I couldn't resist the offer to showcase my talents with glass tiles.

It is amazing what contractors are accomplishing with Latapoxy 310.From a tile & stone guy:"All of the columns, railings and pedestals are with 310. The fireplace is the most amazing part of the job but it was covered up. The pedestals are 100 lbs each. The 4 big columns on the back of the house had a crated weight of 25000# that's over 3 ton a column."Work done byJames BowyerHunt Country Tile540-825-4116

Greetings! The site is great. Thank you for a great resourceis it down

Re: Feedback & Comments Are Important To Us
I am attempting to install porceline tile in 2 adjacent rooms where the flooring is not completely level. The floors are currently cement. My contractor is using Laticrete floor leveling mortar. The first application went on without a problem. The second application developed holes throughout it and then hairline cracks when walked on 3 days later. Is this normal? How do we proceed? The contractor had planned on putting down 3 layers of laticrete to correct the low areas in the foundation flooring. At $30 a bag, this is quickly adding up. :( I could use some advice.

Thanks. Cheryl
