@richlongwood: They say you can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs… apparently you can’t build a DIY tile countertop without breaking a few expensive tiles either. 😂🔨 Richard Longwood is back at it, turning massive 24x48 porcelain tiles from Home Depot into a custom kitchen countertop and backsplash because paying someone else to do it just isn’t in the budget. 💪 Today’s DIY countertop installation went pretty well… if you ignore the TWO cracked tiles. 💀 And since these oversized tiles only come TWO PER BOX, that’s basically an entire box of bad decisions. Nothing like hearing that beautiful CRACK sound after measuring, cutting, and thinking you actually know what you’re doing. 😂 But we’re making progress! From cutting large-format porcelain tile to installing a custom tile countertop, this budget kitchen renovation is coming together one expensive learning experience at a time. Follow Richard Longwood for DIY home improvement, tile installation, kitchen remodeling, construction humor, renovation fails, and questionable decisions that somehow turn into finished projects. Because we’re not professionals. We just make professional-sized mistakes. 🍻 #DIYCountertops #TileInstallation #KitchenRenovation #ConstructionHumor #RichardLongwood
