Week 9

The floor is laid, about 90% at least, which is a step in the right direction.  The remaining 5% is the tricky cut around the sanitary hole and water supply, which are on the same tile. After one attempt of cutting the holes, the tile won by splitting entirely down the center, but in a bad way.

 We thought it might be best to leave it to the professionals to attempt the cut.  Joe brought the dimensions to our tile vendor and had them attempt the cut with the big fancy tile tools.

So Plan B was put in effect with a straight slice down the center with the giant hole in the center, this worked better. All of the seams will be under the toilet, so it should be fine. The final pieces were put in place a week later and now the floor is ready for grout.

The walls are now entirely prepped for tile for the next weekend. Also on tap for next week is the installation of the replacement windows for the bathroom and the spare bedroom.  Another side project will come with rehanging all new window trim and paint. The list never gets any shorter.
