[SRTthis]

but its done... it was a royal pain in my ass. but its done, well almost. will be groutied tonight

you can see what we started with and what we have now. staring on the cabinets tomorrow

Yes. Yes it does. I just got done last week putting 330 square feet of it down in 18 x 18 ceramic for the kitchen and dining room.

Rip up old floor, thinset, backerboard, 5 billion screws, MORE thinset, lay tile, get tile straight, correct tile for 4th time before it dries, and then I thought I was done. Whew!....then grouting and cleaning grout haze 46 times started....

But it DOES look good when all done! Nice job bud. Same spacers I used too.

Ahh come on, it's not that bad!!

You should try a tongue and groove ceiling..... You don't get to set it down!

 

[NastyStang113]

Don't get to sit down doing tile, either.

Nice work! I just picked out the tile I'll be using for my kitchen and dining room earlier today. Finally set on color and size. Hoping to get it done by mid April.

That's why I pay some Mexican to do it.

Seriously though, grats on getting almost done. I've done a bit of laminate wood flooring before and it was much easier than tile.

got wood?

 

[RedMustang]

nice work

As long as they know what they are doing... Usually they don't have any idea. The real installers only have more work when they get called out to remove their mess and lay new tile. I've got some Mexicans that have a green thumb though.

you'd see my dumb ass with a hardwood flooring nailer upside down doing that one

Nice work on the tile, BTW. I'll be doing my bathroom walls if I ever get home for more than a night at a time.

 

[SRTthis]

thank you sir! once the kitchen is done i will post more... then its on to the garage!

 

[SRTthis]

now that the kitchen is almost done i can get started on the garage

 

[Dread53]

Nicely done! Major difference.

 

[SRTthis]

thank you sir! its nice to see it pay off after all the money we have dropped.

got wood?

Heh...I think he had Tongue-In-Groove after getting wood!

 

[Mishri]

yep.. i wont ever tile again... I tiled my bathroom floor, now im tiling my shower.. floor was easy compared to the shower. but the tub/shower area is 4'x4' square.. in hind sight i should have just ordered a custom surround instead...

Looks good. The hardest part of tile is getting it laid out. If you think tile is tough to set, try setting marble now thats though.

 

[Dread53]

Did somebody say marble? Some before and after of my living room with the new gas insert (and everythng else):
