Finished Floor!

Some house projects feel like they have taken forever.... even if it hasn't been forever, it has been about a year and a half and in flooring terms that is a long time!  We have had our wood down for about a year now and we have been waiting on tile.  You would think it would be difficult, but some things take time.  It takes time to pick a tile, then change our minds, and then pick a new one (again :)).  It takes time to pay for tile.  It cost as much to install the tile areas as it did to do all of our wood floor.  The price was actually quite shocking.  Jeff's cancer didn't help since all house projects were on hold.  

It was finally time to take the plunge and buy the tile and get it installed!  It was totally worth the wait!  We LOVE our tile!  It looks amazing and is so easy to clean.  Our kitchen looks so bright and beautiful!  

The first day the workers spent all of their time floating the floor to make it level.  They were finally starting to make progress with tile the second day.  I was kind of surprised how slow it was to lay the tile.  The workers did a great job though and made everything level, even bringing it up to the height of our 3/4 inch tall wood floors.  After 4 long days the floor was in and it was ready for grout.  The grout went pretty quick and it was finished!  Seriously so happy... like almost forgot how long we had to wait to have such great tile, happy!

Day 2


Day 3 - so much progress!
