Eddie and I spent about 3 weeks (at a slow pace) removing linoleum and old tile. My parents came down this past weekend (August 11th – 14th) to help us lay the new tile. Eddie and my Dad spent the better part of two days cutting and laying tile. I came in on the third day and did a majority of the grouting. My Dad and Eddie then cut all of the new floor boards, and Eddie nailed them all in. My mom assisted with emotional support, but it was great to spend some time with her.
Words cannot express my excitement about my new tile floor. Man, I must be getting old, if new flooring makes me this happy. I have hated the linoleum in the kitchen since I moved in ten years ago. Not to mention the carpet between the front door and kitchen was very worn and dirty. Now it is all gone, and connected. The only draw back, now you will be able to tell when it is clean. Guess I will have to learn to clean it more.
I love my new tile floor. Thank you Dad for all of your expertise and help.
Freshly painted kitchen…Coming Labor Day 2011!
