- The first day your body will hurt. The next day you will carefully consider if going to the bathroom is worth the torture of getting out of bed. The final day you will be able to point out ever muscle that you might ever have – because it will hurt.
- It will not go as planned. You’ll buy the wrong mortar and need more tools than you first anticipate. You’ll break tiles and have a hard time figuring out the wet saw.
- There is a lot of up / down from sitting on the floor to kneeling and standing again. When you’re not doing that you’re carrying heavy buckets of mortar or heavy boxes of tile. The physical toll is heavy.
- The mortar is messy. The caulk is even worse.
- It is hard work and no where near as easy as you see on TV.
