New Floor

This last 6 weeks has been WORK!. But I can say I love the finished product. Prepping the floors was hard enough, but the actual work took ten 6-8 hour days. But everytime I walk on it I'm happy. In addition to the new floor, we have new baseboards, and paint. I just have a little more painting to go, and then putting things back on the shelves. We did get a cowhide for an area rug.

At times I felt like crying, my arms still ache and my knees are peeling. I didn't dare go barefoot and was afraid to put food on the counters for the gritty feel on everything. But once the grout was down, I was able to clean up and it stayed clean.

At first it seemed a bit overwhelming. We used 52 boxes of the 60 we ordered. At times it looked like there wouldn't be enough.

I was responsible for cutting most of the tile. With this saw it wasn't too hard, but sometimes I felt a little dyslexic when trying to figure out the cuts

Brody came over and helped tile the first day and also helped with some of the grouting. Brody & Stephanie want to tile their home sometime. He came for the experience.

This was the last piece of tile placed.
