that National Tile Day is designed to celebrate. If you’ve been a tile setter for any length of time (or even if you just sit at your desk all day like me), you may be prone to health issues affecting your back. A discussion on the Tile Geeks Facebook group took place about this very topic at the end of December, and mem- bers of that group have graciously agreed to share their experiences, tips and comments with the larger TileLetter audience in case their experiences might help a fellow tile setter. Our Tech Talk article features essential wisdom about installing tile in wood frame structures. This is a story you don’t want to miss, especially if you are located on the East Coast where wood-frame homes are common. Finally, take a gander at our Coverings preview that will give you a taste of what is to come April 9-12 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. There are some changes to this year’s offerings that will set the stage for exciting opportunities to learn, connect and be inspired! Hope to see you there!
