Floor Time

Walls painted, light in, electrical plates on , time to lay the floor.

This is the part that makes my head hurt and makes me eternally grateful for Bill's mathematical mind. He laid out a few courses of the tile and then got out the tape measure and started figuring. He needs to start at the back of the room and end up at the doorway. So he has to figure out what size to cut the very first tiles that go against the back wall so he will end with full tiles in the doorway. I get dizzy just thinking about how to do something like that.

 Bill, enjoys passing his knowledge along to the most wonderful grandchildren there are. Wyatt thinks like Bill and they work together so well.

Time to add water to the thin set and get started.

Our nine year old, Wyatt, laying tile. This is a sight that makes me so happy. Everyone should have a basic knowledge of how to do these things even if you never do it yourself; you know what to expect from contractors.

 Amazing! Full tiles at the doorway, his math skills triumphed once again. In the back you can see some weird colored tiles. We are putting cabinets along that wall so you will never see the floor. These were left here by the previous owner so we used them and saved by not having to buy that tile.
