Looks good. Pretty sweet how much tile can change the appearance of an area and it really isnt that hard to do. It isnt cheap but compared to linoleum or carpet it is well worth the cost.

Looking good man! I put up a new light fixture in our spare bedroom/office and took down our last FUGLY ceiling fan. Install was bout 15 mins, had to climb up in the attic because there was a wireless remote for the old fan. Easy peasy, and the new light was on sale at menards, $36.

Looks good B, tile really spruces things up. I'll have to post up some pics of my shower progress, it's coming along nicely. It helps to have a sweet tile saw.

Our tile saw we're using right now really sucks. The one we used for the bathroom was sweet though. Anyhow, I hear ya on the light fixture Scheides. I just bought a pair of light fixtures the other week for my entry way for $18 for the pair because the old ones are fugly. They make a nice difference

Got a little bit more done today. Slowly but surely!

I spent the day ripping the tile up out of the kitchen and patching up the walls in the bathroom (damn wallpaper ripping off paint) at the Fridley house. I finally got the new one in working order. I will be painting the bathroom tomorrow and sealing the slate. I got a nice surprise when taking up the tile in the kitchen, they put it down with thinset cement right on the plywood. I figured they might have. That will be a blast to get off so the hardwoods can go down.

Looking good Brandon!

That looks really nice B!! If I were in town I woulda came and helped slave drive. haha I love the type of tile you used!

Thanks guys!

I just found 2 tiles that didn't stick too well so I pulled them up and will have to redo them. No biggie though. we cut a lot of pieces today to finish up the unfinished edges by the front door/stairs/hobbit room. So really what's left is the walkway by the garage door.

Wow, I just spent all day at the Fridley house. Thinset straight on plywood sucks ass!! In about 6 hours I got a 8'x10' area chipped up. I am not quite 1/2 done with it. This is by far the worst thing I have had to do as far as remodeling. Even worse than shoveling out the old landscaping rock and putting mulch down.

I did get the bathroom painted too. That is coming along nicely. I'll have to grab the camera and take some pic's.
