Finished laying tiles!

Yesterday I finished cutting the tiles for the guest bathroom. For some crazy reason, I thought I could quickly cut the tiles for the entryway and tile them all at once. Of course cutting the tiles in the entryway took way longer than expected and the thinset started drying out on me before I finished with just the guest bathroom. I had to work really hard to get the thinset to spread out properly for the last few tiles in the bathroom, but I got them set. The rest of the batch of thinset was totally wasted.

Today my flight back home was 2 hours early so I had the entryway tiles laid before Michelle even got home from work. Tomorrow the thinset will be cured enough for her to grout both sections. Tonight we have to clean up the garage and start moving stuff from the bedrooms into the garage so we can paint them. Gotta keep moving when the momentum is rolling.

The carpet quote came in today, I was hoping to get a better price, but they did not come down much on price. It's the nicest carpet, but they are almost double that of the other carpets we are looking at. I think we won't end up with the really nice soft carpet, but any new carpet will be WAY better than the crap we have now.

There are some updated pics on the tiling photo album

Last of the linoleum

I finished scraping the linoleum by the front door and started the guest bathroom. I pulled the toilet and Michelle finished the last of the linoleum in the guest bathroom! Now we just have to tile the guest bathroom, front entrance, and front closet and we are finished with the tiling!

Michelle finished painting the kitchen and dining room ceiling and I finished the trim behind the stove and fridge so we finally put the kitchen back together today. I still have to finish the rest of the trim in the kitchen, but that will probably wait until after the carpet is in since we have to wait for the carpet before doing the trim in the rest of the house.
