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
