I suspect the chandelier was removed from its normal space and hung in the garage because it does not convey with the house. i.e. the sellers are keeping the chandelier to put in their new house.

Heres a dumb question about brooms/vacuums that probably belongs in another thread but o well:

I've seen those central vac things that integrate into your floor molding so when you're sweeping up you just kinda kick this thing and a little port opens up and you can sweep all the crap in there. Do they make those as standalone devices? Just like a dustbin sized thing I can sweep my floor toward and it'll collect it all? basically a roomba without wheels i think.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0iQnXbJk-0

This kinda thing but not something you'd need to destroy a security deposit to implement, just a standalone unit, preferrably bagless. Right now I'm considering buying a new hand vac and frankensteining my old one into something acceptable

Honestly, the fact that the grout lines line up so we'll is pretty impressive to me, a person who tiled his own house. But this is probably trivial to a pro.(?)

It certainly helps that the squares look like they're 2'x2' and the rectangles look to be 1'x2'. As long as you start them all in the same row off screen to the left, it seems like it would just end up that way.

No it’s three small tiles to a big tile so its 2’x2’ and 8”x2’

If I had to guess, it's 6x18 and 18x18 based on that escutcheon around the pole. It's actually not a good installation though, despite the groint joints lining up. when you set rectangular tiles you should never go more than 1/3 running bond (that is an example of 1/2).

On the other hand that picture has been around for a while so it might be from before the TCNA made that decision (about 10ish years ago IIRC).

They did it this way so the lines running the other way would also line up.

Wouldn’t 1/3 mean 2/3 on the other side though? How can you not go more than a third? Unless I’m misunderstanding what you mean.

It’s because the tiles cup as they are heated. Very slightly but if you put them back to back you can usually see daylight between the two. So if you have the edge (low point) of one meeting the midpoint (high point) of the other, you have the worst case scenario for lippage.

Going 1/3 makes it more manageable and a lot of the tile companies will put the 1/3 offset max in their literature.

You can do either a 1/3, 2/3 whole pattern (3 tile) or you can do a 1/3, whole pattern (2 tile) but so long as those joints aren’t hitting at the midpoint of the tile that’s next in the pattern.

You can still do a 50% groint joint but you have to make sure you’re cool with the possibility of lippage on the floor.

Slate and natural stone would be different. It’s just the fired tiles like ceramic and porcelain.
