Tool Organization Idea for Tile Projects

Organized tools lead directly to higher efficiency, which saves time and headaches during DIY projects. To keep track of your bulky and odd-shaped tile trowels, consider hanging them from the rim of a bucket.

Just make sure that the blade of the trowel goes inside of the bucket. That way, nothing gets on the handle and any excess adhesive or thinset will fall from the blade right into the bucket. Check out some tips to install modern tiles here.
