Q: Once you've detached the tiles from the floor, you'll likely be left with smaller broken pieces scattered around. Use a broom and dustpan to collect these broken pieces and throw them away. Keep your safety attire on for this step so that you don't cut your hands or injure yourself. If necessary, you can vacuum up the dust and smaller pieces. You'll likely have leftover grout or glue that needs to be removed. This should come off the same way the tiles were removed by positioning a chisel or hand maul against the grout and scraping it off with the help of the mallet. Depending on the size of your floor, you may want to use a bigger chisel to reach a wider surface area at once. If you can't remove all of the grout or glue, that's okay. Use the chisel or hand maul to remove as much of it as possible, leaving just a thin layer (no more than 0.125in (0.32cm)) on the floor that can be filled in and covered up easily. Floor scrapers have a wider edge than a hand maul or chisel, as well as a longer handle, making it easier to scrape the floor. Use a floor scraper to smooth out any rough patches resulting from the tile or grout removal, pushing the edge of the scraper against the floor in precise, forward motions. You can find a floor scraper at a home improvement store or online. Use a Shop Vac or similar vacuum to pick up any extra pieces of tile, grout, or dust from the floor and surrounding surfaces. Go slowly when vacuuming to ensure you get everything. Thin-set mortar will help fill in the holes and uneven surfaces of the floor so that the removal of the tile and grout no longer looks bad. Apply a 0.125in (0.32cm) layer of thin-set mortar with a flat or square-notched trowel depending on whether you'll be re-tiling the floor. Follow the directions to mix the mortar properly before applying it. A square-notched trowel is helpful in making grooves in the mortar so that you can easily place new tile.
A: Sweep up the broken pieces of tile on the ground. Hit the chisel with the mallet to scrape off the adhesive. Leave a super thin layer of the adhesive, if necessary. Smooth the floor using a floor scraper. Remove any remaining dust using a vacuum. Apply thin-set mortar to the floor to make it level.

Q: Rotary veneers are what plywood is made out of and generally produce an appearance that many people don't like. However, they can also come in larger sheets and may be the only option for very large projects. Sliced veneer looks like normal lumber, and allows you to get really beautiful grain detail. You can get random sets of veneers, or you can get book-matched sets. In book matched sets, you get the pieces that were cut one next to the other, so that the grain patterns match up. This can be used to create beautiful designs. However, unmatched sets may look more "natural". You can get veneer sheets that have adhesive already applied to one side. These are the easiest to place. If you get regular veneer, however, you'll need to use the application method discussed in the other section. These are generally applied just like a sticker, but you should read the included instructions to see if that particular manufacturer requires special steps. Veneers are attached to a substrate (or base material). Usually this is either another wood (if you are veneering, for example, panels on doors or cabinets) or it is a cheaper material altogether, such as MDF. These man-made materials are probably the best option, since they usually allow you to save the most money. You can use yellow or carpenter's glue if you want to. If you live in a very dry environment with little humidity, these will work perfectly fine. If you live in a humid environment, however, these glues can cause your veneers to wander. It's better to use a proper veneering glue. Many other methods of veneering use these glues. Be wary of those methods, especially if you live in a humid environment.
A:
Choose a rotary vs sliced veneer. Choose a random or book-matched veneer. Choose your application method. Choose your substrate. Choose a glue.
