In the spring of 2005 I found myself unemployed and decided to take on some home improvement projects. One of those was replacing the bathroom floor. I had always hated the linoleum that had been poorly laid. As I began to tear it up it became clear that there was no way I'd be able to get to the hardwood I was sure was under the subfloor. I lost interest and the bathroom has been untouched for over a year. Then the toilet started to leak. We have one of those old fashioned toilets where the tank is up high, the leak was somewhere between the tank & the toilet. Since I had to take the thing apart anyway, I might as well take out the toilet and get going on the floor. Here is the project so far:
I have broken one tile, which is unfortunate, because as you can see, I am short exactly one tile! I have another whole package of tile, but I'm not gonna open it for one lousy piece. So I'm off to Home Depot to return my tile package and pick up a couple of single tiles (You know if I just get one more, that is practically guaranteeing I will break another.)

Ah! The joys of tiling a floor. I found it made my finger nails very filed down. Gotta love grout!
ReplyDeleteNo worries about the nails, I'm going through another nail biting phase. UGH!
ReplyDeleteoh my nails are crap - I just found that it made them smooth and the tips of my fingers very tender. doh!
