I just used a hammer and beat the shit out of it Doug. But that was floor tile. You are doing it on the wall? Maybe a flat head or a scraper and a hammer?

Just a hammer does the job

Went to lowes today and started working with the lady there to see what cabinets we want to put in our kitchen. Going back tomorrow to talk with her again and try to decide on cabinets, countertop, floor, sink, etc. Pretty cool they plug the info in the program and show you a 3d view of what it would look like

I agree. It was fun as hell watching them build our cabinets when we went and ordered ours last year
What about the thin set mortar? Sorry just wondering about it being level.

Get a rub brick and wet the thin set before you start

Thanks Brother! Didn't know if the mortar would stick to the tile or bring up chunks of the dura-rock or not.

The first time we went I liked one of the kraftmaid displays they had so we had the guy figure up a price on and it came out to 9500. Then after we decided we didn't want to spend that much we found another brand that had the quiet close doors and drawers just not the exact color we wanted but saved 3000 going with it
If you guys are close to one, Cabinets to Go is pretty awesome. We saved thousands on our kitchen cabinets and they are beautiful. We had gotten a quote to reface our cabinets from Home Depot. They came back with 18k! I bought all new Cherry cabinets from C2G and paid less than a third of that for the whole set.

I had thought about that as there is one about an hour away. We went back after work and finalized our plan. Total cost for cabinets came to $5400, and we will be getting % 10 of that back in a lowes gift card which will help pay for the sink, countertop, and flooring. We are making a few changes to the layout which will give us tons more storage.

I've been painting the kitchen cabinets at the GF's place.
In progress, leaving behind the red color she loves so much, going to a more natural color to hopefully help sell the place in the next few months when it'll be going up for sale.
Some of the lower cabinets in partial primer coverage:
Some of the upper cabinets, all done, after 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of color:

Good call, I do however think that Red looks good too.
Thanks ... and yeah, as much as she loves the red, she knows it has to go to make the house appeal to more buyers and get top dollar for it.
Last night I was up till about 3AM (this morning), but I finished all the top cabinets.
The "done" ones I posted above are to the left of these ones:
(I have the doors propped slightly open until the paint fully cures in a couple/few days)
Lol ... I told her it might look cool with the red outline ... she didn't go for it, lol
It's coming out so nice, and so much brighter in there, it's sweet.
And re-using the hinges and the pulls, they all work with the new color.
Youre gonna do all that work and then she will not want to move. Lol.
