how I ran electric to my shed and added outdoor outlets with @TrueValueHardware #TrueValuePartner
The mudroom isn't the only place getting attention at John Dolechek's house. His new shed-electrics upload takes the work outdoors, covering how he ran power to the shed and added outdoor outlets. It is a paid partnership with True Value.
Inside, the tile project remains the week's most-watched upload, reaching roughly 570,000 views. John and Gabby divide the work: she spreads mortar and lays tiles while he cuts the edges outside. Straight reference lines, spacers and leveling wedges all get their moment, but keeping the joints tidy proves a different concern from getting enough thinset beneath those large tiles. Later that night, John walks across the finished floor and hears a crack.
The comments have become an extension of that lesson. Viewers repeatedly discuss coating the backs of the tiles with mortar, using a larger notched trowel and accepting some squeeze-out into the joints rather than trying to avoid cleanup altogether. Those are viewers' suggestions, not a diagnosis of every tile in the room.
The floor's troubles sit alongside a more straightforward mudroom update about installing a wood shiplap ceiling. Of the new uploads, the tile video and shed project are drawing the most daily views; an older, sponsored TIKI fire-pit demonstration is also among the channel's busiest videos.
John added about 1,000 subscribers over the week, and daily views are running at more than twice their usual level. Nearby in the DIY group, R Davis Electrical is also seeing elevated daily viewing, while Maker3DPrint is quieter than usual. For John, the week's work stretches from the mudroom ceiling to power in the yard.

Back butter the tile to prevent hollow spots
@anewman72002See it on YouTubeYou need to mortar the entire back of the tile itself, and lay it down with the tile mortar and floor mortar grooves parallel so they collapse together better.
Better adhesion and no weak/hollow spots under the tile. Keep it up.@KnockingNeoSee it on YouTubeYour both still young, many more lessons to be lived thru, keep going.
