Tile

I can't imagine how much it would cost us to have the kitchen and dining room tiled. We had put down word flooring about two years ago and found out that water leaks are not good for wooden floors. So up with the wood and down with tile.

We figured it would take the week just to get up the old floor but our son came out on Saturday and in 1 1/2 hours time he had the floor up...wow...that was great.

So, here it is Wednesday and we will have the tile all down and ready for grouting. It is looking great. We are very pleased that we went with the tile and Ron actually got a bit of a design down as well. As soon as I can I will get a photo of the floor for review.

We did have one problem. We decided to buy another tile cutter at Imperial Tile, on Main Street just north of Crismon. We paid almost $200 for it. We had purchased our table top type tile cutter there a few years earlier. Anyway, it was not easy to use and not usable for large tiles so we took it back. Get this...they would not take it back. Said that they would have to contact the manufacturer and see about returning it. We were needless to say pissed off. Everyone, well just about everyone, backs their product. We gave them our information for them to send in to the manufacturer however we also told them that we would not be purchasing anything else from them in the future...especially since they did not stand behind their products. Anyway, tell others this so that they will not be caught like us. We decided that we will try to modify the one we bought and see if it is usable.

I don't know if we will be able to do some other projects while I am on vacation this week. But, the floor is a big one and we'll see how the rest of the week goes.
