did you do any tearout?? if not thats not so bad,, I like big tile cause it goes down so quick and less grouting,,

just imagine if it was 1" tile 4" would be bad enough,
I hated 1'' tile on a back splash, it sucked to grout

I tore out 3 fiberglass showers and a jacuzzi tub. He hired 3 Mexicans to tear out all the tile. Cost him about 1700. I wouldn't have touched the demo for that

Why would it suck?
You just smear grout all over the tiles and wipe of the excess.

when you have 26 lines instead of 4 lines while youre leaning over and pushing sideways under a cabnet with a bad back it kinda sucks,,, and a natural stone tile sucks double,,

I've done small tiles myself and it wasn't that bad at all.
Now if you have a bad back sure it would suck,but then doing most anything with a bad back sucks.
