I've been answering questions sent to me by people doing tile on their own and having a fine time indeed. I've been getting such good questions from people that I decided to start a blog where people can comment on questions and answers.
My phylosophy has always been that the more people you can get input from, the more you can learn. Everyone has different experience and different points of view and no one knows it all. I've been doing this since 1984 and I don't know it all. I try to learn something new every day and with everyone's help we can all learn from each other.
Cheers,
Joanne Rigutto

About Me
- Joanne Rigutto
- I'm a tile and stone contractor in the Portland, Oregon area and have been working in the trades since 1984, but almost every member my family has been in the masonry and trowel trades for over 100 years. I also do research into international trade and regulatory issues impacting agriculture, am involved in land use issues in my little corner of Oregon, and am involved with the Hamlet of Mulino as the registrar, webmaster, etc. In my spare time, such as it is, I work on my small farm in Mulino, where I study animal behavior and interspecies communications, breed Lipizzan horses, and farm on a small scale. I'm very interested in the issue of sustainability and how others define and quantify it. For more information on my activities and other issues I deal with, please visit jrigutto.com

Hi, my name is Leah and I am very interested in tiles. I am remodeling my kitchen and thinking of using this gorgeous glass tile... cranberry crush... for a backsplash. I found it at www.northeasterntile.com and they are running a promo for 60% off! Anyway do you think a red backsplash would be too intense? I want to do a gray floor, a cool off white paint, and then a really intense red backsplash. I'm so happy to find a fellow tile connoisseur. I hope you post again soon!
Hi, I just found your blog and thought it was great, as a professional tiler in London it always amazes me when people ring me up saying ive done some tiling in my bathroom and now the tiles are falling off or are cracking...
There is always someone willing to answer questions online and if people just took the time to look they would avoid these problems.
You deserve a big pat on the back!
Need a Tiler London based tiling contractor
For high end tile murals would you splurge by getting handmade stuff like this or would kind of cut corners e.g. try to do it yourself?
hi there, question for anyone/everyone. I have a sublimation product that works great for tiles.
