A friend of my wife would like to have tile put down on her front entry/porch. Its an older home built in the 50s and the concrete is uneven which means it would need to be leveled. what is the best materials to use for the job and what problems could arise from an applcation such as this? Any info on the methods of application would be appreciated. thank you.

Need to know what part of the country you are in. (Weather is important.)

I Agree with John need to know what the weather is like. Setting tile out of doors in Tucson,Arizona will be a different process than in Butte,Montana Stop back and let us know!

Front Entry Tile-We are located in Portland,Oregon. I know that I will have to be leveling the concrete.I also read that I could use an additive in the grout that will make it water resistant.
