joints, except as indicated otherwise. Setting beds of floor tile shall be thick
enough to being the tops of the tiles to the finish slopes or levels indicated. The
mortar shall be spaced and worked to a true and even plan, either leveled or
sloped to drain as required. For areas of more than 100 square feet, screed
strips shall be set temporary guides to secure these results. As a result as large a
floor area as can be covered with lies before the mortar has reached its initial
set shall be placed in one operation. When more setting has been spread that it
can be thus covered, it must be cut to a clean , leveled edge close to the tile and
removed.Under no circumtances shall relospered mortar be used. Tiles on floors
of more than 100 square foot area shall be laid to a straight edge at regular
intervals.
