Are you tiling your shower?

Today’s show has pro tips from Steve White from SRW Contracting.

He recommends using a laser level to line up tile and make sure gets started the right way.

Steve uses a Bosch laser level and horseshoe tile spacers to get perfect looking tiles.

You can use a laser level to install mirrors, vanities, lights, accessories, pictures and more.

It’s worth the money.
