Tiling update
Just a quick update. Spent most of yesterday working on the tile. Here is the room after I got the floor cleared off, before setting tiles.
Spent quite a bit of time figuring out where to set the first tile. Didn’t want to end up with goofy sized pieces, and I think I did ok figuring it out.
I started in the middle and worked toward the edges. At least I have to openings into this room, so I can work both sides.
I mixed up half a bag (about 25 lbs) of thinset at a time. This is what I got set with the first bucket.
Then I took some time to fit and cut some of the edge pieces. Since the tile saw makes such a mess, I set it up outside. Sure was a nice day yesterday (it’s snowing right now).
That saw sure does make easy work of cutting those tiles. Mixed up the second half of the bag of thinset, and went back to work
Spent the rest of the afternoon fitting and cutting tiles. I don’t have any more set than the previous picture, but here is a picture of the tiles fitted. I have to pick up the loose ones and mix up more thinset, but not tonight . . .
Decided it would be funner to make MnM cookies instead of setting tiles. Had lots more excitement yesterday, but it’s bedtime and I’m still tired out from yesterday. Did manage to put a hole in my bluejeans – accidentally sat on the trowel . . . yea, I put a hole in my backside too LOL!!
