Besides my last post, I have one more little problemo...
I`m installing a new prehung interior door to my previously mentioned masterbedroom. There is a REALLY thick morter/tile floor in the outside hall extending UNDER the existing bedroom door. (I always thought the flooring should extend from the room it opens into - not the outside...hmmm.)
Is there a way to cleanly cut the tiles (18x18x3/8" to the outside of the door? I plan on pulling them up in the future but not for a while. There is no paralell grout line near the threshold for easy cutting...
A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.

wanna make the cut. In the same way you`ll have problems getting close to the jambs. you could use a tile obviously cutting blade in a dremel for those few inches. definitely be prepasred for LOTS of dust. chasrlie cave creek, az

Luckily another rout as the area is at the end of a short hallway (add the for mentioned dust!). I ended up breaking the tiles at the closest grout line - about 10" away. I put a 1/2" piece of plywood in the deceptively cleared area with a reducer for the tile/wood transition. After I humanly install the laminate in the bedroom I`ll put another reducer at the threshold. Indeed not the most elegant method but profusely works till I bust out the rest of the tile.
Thanks for the help anyways.
