@monk3y: wla pa namu mataud. ako na gihatag sa among panday. nangutana to cya kng pwede pa iwelding, ako giingnan nga ok ra mao man pud imu sulti.hehehe

@ken123: you can go to cebu home builders or bionic builders they have bargain tiles. these bargain tiles are those phase out designs so you can get them at half the price at most. pro limited nlng ang stock ani. kng barato lng then nindot ug quality try phil made tiles like mariwasa, eurotile and etc. naa pud barato nga mga china tiles but some say that the quality is not that good.
naa pud FC tile center sa hi way mandaue try pud suroy didto.

i think nakabarato mi sa bionic kay pwede man gud ka makapangayo discount. Like pagpalit mi og tiles nya gi-order pa sa Manila (kay wa gyud silay stock ato na model og wa pa sila kabaligya diri sa Cebu) nya gi-ship pa padulong Cebu hatag gihapon og discount ang sa bionic builders as long as daghan ang paliton. So amo gi-timing na dili lang tiles amo paliton amo gi-apil ang nosings og trims og uban pang mga tiles.

^sakto gyud noy. always ask for discounts ky muhatag gyud na cla labi na bulk imu paliton. pero sa ila sir monk3y bsan dli bulk ngayo ghapon ko discounts.hehehe

mao ni experience nako sa tiles:
Daghan barato pero grabe ka hiwi. Dili pareho ka dagkoon. Ang uban kai lubag - murag warp.
Kung bati ang tiles, ma dugay ang mason ug taod. Ang uban kinahanglan pa cutting.
Kung hiwi ang tiles, dili ka maka gagmay ug gap. Kuyaw pud ma hiwi ang linya inig taod.

Dunay design nga naay pattern dili pwede ma bali bali. Ang disadvantage sa mga aseroho (mga gagmay nga portion) dili pwede gamiton ang pinutol sa usa ka tile sa pikas. Ma labay na jud kai ma kabang man ang design. Ang effect, kuyaw ma kulang ang tiles labi na kung sakto sakto ra imo na order.

Suggestion lang ni mga bro:

Things to remember when choosing or installing tiles:
1. Pile tiles on top of the other to check if the size is the same.
2. Check for warps.
3. If you want tiles with patterns or design, make sure the store has extra pieces for the small portions (aseroho). You may need to count a small portion as one tile, depending on the design.
4. Before starting tiles on one area like a room, make sure you have enough number of tiles for that area. Always be prepared for the common situation when the store cannot order that tile anymore since it has been phased out.
5. Smaller tiles are easier to install but takes longer.
6. Larger tiles like 60 x 60 install faster but there is a bigger tendency that some portions will be hollow. The tile man has to be good and experienced in installing 60 x 60 tiles.
7. Tile gaps that are narrow are nice to look at, but this cannot be done if the tile is of different sizes.
8. It would be easier if you have the same tile design for different areas. This way, you can minimize reserve tiles. Just make sure there is enough stock.

2 cents advise lang. I hope this will help...

Related to tiles... Right now I keep on bringing pencil for me to use in tapping on the tiles to check if it has hollow parts. Kay ang setter gi-ingnan ko na ang ilaha daw rate pag-set sa wall tiles kay "class C" so kung gusto daw nako na tanan part sa tiles ang ma-cover sa adhesive extra bayad daw. BANG! I didn't know na naa diay ana na mga standard. To the effect that the setter was proud of his explanation to me re "Classes".

@dcuenco: salamat sa imung inputs dako kaayo ni ug tabang.

@manoy: since most of your tiles are already laid one thing you need to do now is to be extra careful in stepping on some hollow tiles. ok ra if wall tiles have hollow portion coz it only undergo less stress unlike floor tiles. hollow portions are susceptible to cracking especially when heavy furniture and appliances(which you probably have) are placed on top of the tiles. mgkinto nlng ka ani noy.heheh
