Backer Board and Tile on the Floor

The installers arrived early this morning and started gluing the concrete board to the floor and then used nail guns to secure the concrete even more.

While the guys continued working on the house we got lunch and also did some shopping for the new sinks and a vanity for the bathrooms.

When we got back to the house the guys had started laying down the tile. The house is really starting to look different and the tile looks great!

We left the house while the installers were packing up to leave for the day. We had a good visit with the LaMotte family!

Some pretty extreme NERF tag guns!

When we got back to our house we had to enter via the walk-in basement because the mortar is setting up right now.

Emptying the Living Room & A New Sub-floor

This Saturday we got accomplished quite a lot it one day!

Benjamin and Noah stripped out the back bathroom before we left for Florida and Noah scraped off some of the paint.

 

As you can see the living room was a wreck and I thought it’d take us a few days to get everything moved out.

 

However, after a few hours we had all of the bookcases out and had moved them into Benjamin’s room.

The boxes were easily moved out and all of that was left were a few odds and ends.

 

 

After getting the living room and kitchen in order we worked on putting the new subfloor into the bathroom.

We brought in a few tiles from one of the pallets outside on the driveway so we could get an idea of what the flooring will look like:

 

The tile is going to be arranged in a brick pattern like the picture above.
