The first step to any successful tile installation is the layout. Tile is a permanent surface that you will have to live with for many years...you'll want to get it right the first time!
Many problems arise simply from not knowing how to measure and layout the area. There are many books and courses that explain other aspects of tile jobs such as setting materials, tools, tear down, etc. Proper layout of the tile job is the single most important factor that separates an amateur from a professional.

From elevations of about 2,000 ft (610 m) on the Cumberland Plateau in the southeast, where Black Mt. (4,145 ft/1,263 m) marks the state's highest point, Kentucky slopes to elevations of less than 800 ft (244 m) along the western rim. The narrow valleys and sharp ridges of the mountain region are noted for forests of giant hardwoods and scented pine and for springtime blooms of laurel, magnolia, rhododendron, and dogwood. Unfortunately, these forests have suffered from the effects of acid rain. To the west, the plateau breaks in a series of escarpments, bordering a narrow plains region interrupted by many single conical peaks called knobs. Surrounded by the knobs region on the south, west, and east and extending as far west as Louisville is the bluegrass country, the heart and trademark of the state.
