removal
Indian removal was the United States government policy of forced displacement of self-governing tribes of Native Americans from their ancestral homelands in the eastern United States to lands west of the Mississippi River – specifically, to a designated Indian Territory (roughly, present-day Oklahoma). The Indian Removal Act, the key law which authorized the removal of Native tribes, was signed by Andrew Jackson in 1830. Although Jackson took a hard line on Indian removal, the law was enforced primarily during the Martin Van Buren administration. After the passage of the Indian Removal Act in 1830, approximately 60,000 members of the Cherokee, Muscogee (Creek), Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations (including thousands of their black slaves) were forcibly removed from their ancestral homelands, with thousands dying during the Trail of Tears.Indian removal, a popular policy among white settlers, was a consequence of actions by European settlers in North America during the colonial period and then by the United States government (and its citizens) until the mid-20th century. The policy traced its origins to the administration of James Monroe, although it addressed conflicts between European and Native Americans which had occurred since the 17th century and were escalating into the early 19th century (as white settlers pushed westward in the cultural belief of manifest destiny). Historical views of Indian removal have been reevaluated since that time. Widespread contemporary acceptance of the policy, due in part to the popular embrace of the concept of manifest destiny, has given way to a more-somber perspective. Historians have described the removal of Native Americans as paternalism, ethnic cleansing, or genocide.

Hiya,
Looking for advice on how to remove excess grout from a Matt porcelain tile. We got hugely screwed over by the builders so can't afford to buy anything to remove the excess grout off the tile. Can anyone come with a natural remedy?

Hi
I have just grouted my newly fitted ABK Reworks Multi Beige 600x300 Porcelain wall tiles with Mapei Ultracolour beige grout.
The tiles are textured matt to look like natural stone. The problem is the grout has ended up going into the surface undulations and I have been unable to clean it...

Hello all.
I'm in the process of redoing our kitchen (full refit).
The old laminate was lifted and under it are two layers of self adhesive tiles (rather than floorboards as I expected!) I've removed a couple of the top layer tiles (with considerable effort - which resulted in 'chipping away'...

Has anybody used a Hyde grout removal tool? They look pretty good on you tube but sometimes tools can be made to look better than they actually are. I use a multitool when necessary but find the blade can damage the tile edges quite easily on a small grout gap.
Hi,
I've just had a job done and am withholding part of the payment pending resolution.
I had new tiles fitted in my house and the tiler, as part of the quote, agreed to the 'removal' of the old tiles. He did this - but left them all in a (tidy) pile in my back garden! He contends that he...
I needed to replace 3 tiles and in removing the old ones the backer board has got damaged - the tiles were on Marmox board so it damages fairly easily. I'm guessing there is no way to effectively repair the board so I think the way forward would be to remove the existing board that is exposed...

Are those specialist silicone removing corner tools safe on the baths/tray's?

Been asked to remove a couple of small floors which were recently put onto Lamitech ( wrong tiles and not laid by me I might add ) . There only around 3m² each and I know it's going to be a hammer and bolster job . Just wondered if anyone got a rec/link for a curved/hooked shaped wide bolster...

I recently tiled my bathroom with black porcelain tiles and grouted with Granfix Maxigrout Charcoal. When applying the wet grout it was a darker colour such that distinction between grout and tile was very difficult.
