Momentum Killed....

So this weekend Katie and I started working on the floor. We got the first three rows done, but then needed to let it dry so we could reach the other side and not disturb the tile. I had some real determination tonight to go get a good chunk of the floor finished, but after only 4 tiles I ran out of mud. So I am on the couch, blogging about it for all of you. Tomorrow I hope to hit the Depot on my way home and do a few more tiles. This weekend I plan to be ready to grout and paint, which will put me in the home stretch for the project.


Thanks for checking in!

We Have Walls!

Well, I am happy to say that the shower walls are compete. I am very happy with the progress to this point and am ready for the next we major phases. I have laid out the tile for the shower floor, but need to wait for a new drain cover so that phase will wait.

The next phase will be leveling the bathroom floor. It is slightly raised in the center so I need to level it and prep for tiling. I plan to hit the Depot on my way home tomorrow and hopefully prep and poor tomorrow night. After than Sunday I think I will be ready for floor tile in the bathroom.

The project is on budget and so far, I am happy with the timing. I had a goal of May 1, and it may be close to that or shortly over.

A Day of Progress

Wow, I totally should have bought those knees pads at the store next to all of the tile supplies.... After 8 hours of tiling, the knees could have used them.

I started at 8:30 this morning with a goal to make as much progress as possible on the shower walls. I started with one row remaining on the back wall. Below is my time lapse for the day:

By 10:30 I had a good jump on the second wall.

By 1:30 I was getting close to two walls done.

At 2:30 I finished wall number 2!

I hammered out another 3 hours downstairs and managed to get a great jump on the final wall.

I hope to spend a few hours Monday or Tuesday night and finish the third wall. Then it's on to the shower floor. I am very happy with the progress so far and I am actually impressed that I have not messed up too bad yet!! Live, learn, and Read the Home Depot Tiling Book!
