Yes, that's correct guys, but you'll see I said, IT IS A BASEMENT. I almost
always mix from dry, when a low traffic area is to be tiled, like a
darkroom/utility room and cost is an issue, then so is time. It doesn't
sound like he has all the goodies to play with the real stuff. I'd also say
that an isolation membrane is a great idea too, but that is more time and
more money and Oh yeah, it is a BASEMENT : )  Unless there is a floor drain,
or the slop is really bad, I'd probably not bother with making sure the
whole thing is level, smooth and even, although bigger tiles calls for
smoother floor. Dry also requires a dust mask, etc

Premixed thinset is not cement based, and thus not ideal/a good idea/ in
areas where it could have water resting on it (tiles will come loose with
prolonged exposure to water)
All the best

See ya soon ; < ) 

 

Tile is not so hard to do. Big timesaver is pre mixed thin set. It is JUST
the basement not your main living space. It might give you a good chance to
learn enough to be able to redo the kitchen or bathrooms.
