Thank you. This was one of the most informative pieces on something that seems so simple, but now I know better. I am veeeerrry new to home improvement, out of necessity, and so it would help me if you would lable all those tools. Like I said, very very new…And you might put those at the top since it gives an idea initially what is all involved and what I need to buy at the store. Just a suggestion. Otherwise, I’ll review your other how-tos, as well.

That is a nasty situation. The base should have been removed before the tile was installed. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to remove the base now. Almost any method could cause damage to the wall, the tile or the grout. There are power saws that can make quick work of this, but I doubt you'd find them for rent. A RotoZip tool may be your best bet. Try to cut the base flush with the surface of the tile, then pry the base off as described in the article. Be careful to tilt the blade so it does not hit the tile/grout You can always sell the tool on ebay if you don't need it anymore. Ask other pros what they would do at The Floor Pro Community. Good luck.
