Placing spacers vertically! Good thinking! Will do that for sure next time!

I had been trying to chisel the spacers out with a screw driver and hammer, but will go to a nail instead....sounds like that could work a bit better. I have tried using needle nose pliers, but haven't had much success. The tiles are 15" square porcelian floor tiles...saltillo in appearance. I did chip a small bit on one corner twisting a spacer out with the pliers :-(
I installed the tile last weekend, so everything is bone dry at this point.

Yep, that was me asking about the newbie homeowner tool kit, which was very helpful btw, and I am slowly putting it together.
My next semi-major tool purchase is some type of electric sander.

Yes, home ownership is great fun, but I have more projects on deck than I can ever possibly finish (at least that is how it seems!)

Thanks for the great advice!
