I rented a tile saw from Home Depot and knocked out all the cuts for our kitchen backsplash in one day! 🙌 If you’re thinking about tackling a tile project but nervous about the tools…don’t be! Renting from the tool center was SO easy (and only $39 for 24 hours 💸). Here are a few tips if you’re a first-timer using a wet tile saw: 🔹 Ask the rental desk to help you pick the right saw.
🔹 Set up outside or in the garage, it gets very wet.
🔹 Wear goggles and go slow, let the blade do the work.
🔹 Keep a towel or rag nearby to wipe tiles between cuts.
🔹 And my favorite tip… give yourself a deadline! The 24-hour rental was the perfect time crunch to stay focused and get it done. Now I’m ready to grout and finally get my kitchen back in working order. Follow @makingfrugalfun to keep up with this DIY on a budget and see how it all turns out!
