I'm happy for the customers who get to show off their new kitchens, entry's, fireplaces etc...
But there just isn't any satisfaction in it for me compared to the bathrooms. Not to mention backsplashes believe it or not are harder on my back than redoing an entire bathroom. Awkward bent over twisting around...HATE IT

Yes

If the house is prone to settling and you don't have fun chasing cracks
I've never done a huge room like that, but see the benefit of doing it for that reason,
although I have done several apartments with concrete floors where you dont have an option but to mortar,,

This guy had 25 sheets of hardibacker sitting in the garage for me when I pulled it. I looked at it, then him and just said NOPE lol. Trash product. Went to Lowes and got Permabase.
