I bought this book to retile a countertop that had previously been tiled (badly). Having no experience with tiling myself, I hoped it would answer the following questions:
-When retiling (as opposed to starting from scratch) how much do you need to remove? Just the tiles and grout, or other things? Which things? How can you tell?
-What are my options?
-How do I do it?
The book answered the first question not at all, the second question partially, and the third one fairly well. I think most of the 'how to' problems in this book are organizational. For example, there is a handy section in the 'how to tile a granite countertop' section suggesting how to tile odd angles on countertops (I have some) which isn't included in the previous chapter, basic countertop tiling. Where it would make much better sense to put it! Also, you will find some things done differently in different sections (for example, on the countertop section, the edge tiles are put on last, but in the kitchen island countertop section, they are put on first, with different methods of suspension to keep them from sliding down as they dry. They give no reason for doing it differently. It would make better sense to include both methods, and perhaps a brief explanation for which tiles work better with which?
Maybe I'm weird. I like to know 'why' I'm doing something. I feel it helps me make better informed decisions. For example, the book gives you two options for countertop minimums: 2 3/4" thick plywood sheets or 1 sheet with an additional but thinner layer of cement board. The book makes no differentiation and describes both as 'acceptable'.
