New floors

We had a friend, Eric Sandoval, come over on Saturday to pull out the carpet and sub floors in our main bathroom and framing it properly, putting down new subfloors, underlayment, and tile. The plan was to have the floors pulled up, new ones down, and tile down on Saturday, and then grouting and doing the baseboard, etc yesterday. Well that is all in a perfect world. Of course we found under the boards that the framing was more than we thought, there was a crack that needed fixed, and something with the toilet needed fixed.

With an extra trip needed to go to Menards to pick up supplies, that put us behind. Then having to do some extra framing and waiting for the guy to drop off the tile cutter, we didn't even get the tile layed on Saturday. So our friend came over yesterday to start it. His friend came back over to do the plumbing.

Our friend was great though, because even though the pattern I decided was a little more time intensive then just laying 12x12 tiles. But with the plumbing being done yesterday and the fact that we ran out of some tile(I thought with 3 boxed we would have enough) the tile is mostly layed but there is a small area still needing done and so tonight Eric will come over to finish laying the tile, grout what was done yesterday and set our toilet. He will have to finish grouting the rest tomorrow and put up the baseboards, hang the door, and any addition stuff. I am so excited to have our bathroom back and be able to take a bath again!!
