i'm a girl, know nothing about tiling, grouting etc, but thanks to my neighbour hammering at something the other side of my kitchen wall, about 6 of my tiles have fallen off! they're not damaged and i'd like to have a go at putting them back up myself. please can you tell me:

1. what tools i need
2. i know i need adhesive and grouting, but what order do i do it in, and how do i space the tiles correctly?

thanks! :D
 
You will need to get the adhesive off the wall & the tile. This can be scraped of the wall & the tiles could be scraped off or if left to soak the adhesive will come off easier, but then you must let them dry.

As there are only a few tiles, you should beable to use the same scraper to put the tile adhesive onto the tile.

Do a search on tiling, it will tell you how, but as you already have a straight line to work from it will be easy.

But

Why dont you try asking the neighbour if he will do it for you. If I caused damage to my neighbour, I would resolve it.
