  1. Before you decide on a particular type and style of tile, you need to make sure it is suitable for its intended position and application. For example, not all floors are strong enough to bear the weight of quarry tiles, and not all ceramic tiles may be used on kitchen countertops or in showers.

  2. Hi! My husband and I are looking forward to starting our earthship soon and I am looking through your progress. It looks awesome, super excited for you. I was wondering how you set the tile on the ground. How did you prep the earth to receive the tile. I've done tile work in our conventional house using durock on the wood subfloor but it looks like from the above pictures that you are going from the dirt to tile. I've never worked with it like that before. Is that how you did it? Where are you building?
