Flooring

It will depend upon what the stains are, but CLR is probably the best first choice, especially for "hard water" type stains. It is an acid, albeit fairly mild; so any finish on the terracotta, anything to make it shiny, might need re-application.

Assume that the tiles are 3 inches by 6 inches, although there is no reason to do that!

Area of each tile = 0.25 ft * 0.5 feet = 0.125 sq feet.

Number of tiles required = Total area to be covered/Area of each tile

= 210/0.125 = 1680 tiles.

That is the mathematical answer. In real life, the number required will depend on the configuration of the area to be tiled. For example, a circular area of 210 square feet will require far more tile cutting than a rectangular one - even fewer if both sides of the rectangle are in quarter of half feet. That then brings into play your tiling skills, wastage etc.

yellowing in vinyl usually means the plasticizes in the product have reacted to something ie. water or solvent. this yellowing can not be removed sorry.

Depends on the size of the tile. Bigger the tile, the more mortar. 4x4, 4x6 wall tile, 1/8 th should be enough, 12x12 and 16x16 should be 1/4 and for anything thicker, go to the 1/2 notch trowel.

If you are positive that it is asphalt I would not suggest adhering tile directly to the asphalt. If removal of asphalt is not an option I would install a subfloor and use thinset mortar to adhere the tile. Another option (probably the better option) would be to pour a concrete mix over the asphalt. Than use thinset to install the tile. The concrete will incapsolate the asphalt. Asphalt more than likely has oils in it and can be a hazard.

You will need existing floor to be clean and dry. Layering concrete like this is called a cold joint. Concrete does not like cold joints. That I why big jobs like the cn tower and Hoover dam are all one pour basically.

If you have to do cold joints, clean base floor, rent a sacrifice tool at a rent shop, rough up the floor as much as possible, clean all dirt and dust again, cover floor with a bonding agent from a box store, pour new concrete. Over 2" is recommended.

Another way to get it to hold is to drill holes into base floor or even put various concrete screws in base floor with just the heads sticking up a little bit so new concrete can grab.

Labor Prices

Fees & charges change from town to town, region to region, the best ways I can suggest to find a good range is:

Run a short ad in Craigslist, that will likely get you someone hungry & maybe unlicensed so you will know the cheapest price.

Then call the local Home Depot or Lowes & ask what they charge if you buy your tile from them?

That will be the highest price in the market

Now you would have a good range & then its time to look for quality & references. a steal on tile or a great price on labor, can be VERY COSTLY if you give the job to a butcher..

My bet will be you will find someone on the low end at about $2 per sq ft & that the depot will be $6-8 bucks a foot after they do all the add ins...

Get it in writing. Never pay for it all upfront

If you mean 12x12 "inches", then each tile covers 1 square foot.

We trust you can take it from there.

A joist note on a first floor plan would refer to the Joist below that floor, a joist note on the third floor plan woud be for that floor.

18" x 18" = 1.5' x 1.5' = 2.25 sq ft.

So the number of tiles needed = total area/area of each tile = 195/2.25 = 86.66.. that is, a minimum of 87 tiles.

That is the mathematically correct answer. In real life, though, you need to allow for breakages and wastage. This allowance will depend on your skill level and the shape of the 195 sq ft area. Some areas will require a lot more tiles to be cut or trimmed than others and all that could add to the wastage.

30 boxes should work. Ceramic tile normally come in boxes of 10, so you would need 240 tiles or 24 boxes. Then add 20%-30% more for cutting edges, corners, islands, closets, waste, and breakage. That would be 5 - 7 more boxes. But it is best to have a few on hand for future repairs.

It depends on whether they are 16 inch x 16 inch or 16cmx16cm or some other units.

The toilet can be removed fairly easily.

1. shut off water supply to toilet

2. flush toilet to get most of the water out of the tank and bowl

3. with a cup or a wet-vac remove the remaining water from the bowl

4. remove the water supply line from the toilet (usually on the left side under the tank)

5. remove the 2 nuts from the bolts sticking out of the bottom of the toilet

6. lift the toilet off of the bolts and you're done

The "hole" doesn't need to be removed. Simply cut your vinyl around the flange. be careful not to cut the hole too big so that it is concealed under the toilet when you place it back on the bolts.

You will also need to scrape the wax ring off of the bottom of the toilet and off of the flange on the floor.

You will need to install a new ring when you reinstall your toilet

It depends on the units used in measuring the tiles. 13*13 cm2 or 13*13 inch2 or some other units.

You can use quarry tile cleaners. They can be found at any tile store or hardware store. Instructions can be found on the box. But, if you want a simple solution you can try using warm water and mop. But you may need something a little more intense to truly get it clean.

NO! It will damage the finish. My matte finish is now shiny in that area.
