of course,
im a carpenter/contractor, for 15 years. insallation procedures are offered at lowes home improvment warehouse. people seem to think that installing new (ceramic tile) is a hard task. but its not. its just the word (ceramic tile) that makes people think that its difficult , or its a job thats for a skilled, experienced tradesman. you can do this! simply follow instructions and you will be successful. and be proud of yourself not to mention the money you can save!

It is really not that hard at all. The first time I ever tried it, I replaced all the tile in a shower surround, and the floors in my kitchen and bathroom and it turned out great, no problems at all. I have since done many different jobs and it only gets easier. There are many websites that can help,, just google it!
Good luck

My brother did this for my mom in her bathroom. It was his first time.He purchased a book and a video. He also rented a tile cutter. When he went to purchase the supplies he also talked to the staff at the store and got a few pointers
Honestly, he took his time and the bathroom looks great !
He feel great about the job and my mom saved a ton of money.I say go for it !

Anything you do - There has to be a first time. The beginner's classes at Lowes or Home Depot are pretty good. They also make step by step Videos and DVD's - you just have to have the right supplies, tools, and be patient with yourself. In most cases, you can't mess it up so bad someone can't fix it. Good Luck

Yes, make sure that you have the tile nippers and adheasive and the trowl.
Think out each move, don't rush any thing, and have a friend stop by that has done that sort of thing before. You will feel so much better having done it your selves.
