So, I sort of forgot to post some pictures about our tiling experience. Steve and I got a great deal on some tile and were able to borrow most of the tools needed. I have connections! Thanks to my Dad, Scott, Nate, Sam and Brandie for your help. First, we took all the tile home in our Sequoia. It was ridiculously heavy (over 2,000 lbs) so it really weighed down the vehicle. Here are some not so pretty pictures of me in comparison to the car before and after the tile was taken out:In case you can't tell, the bottom of the car was at my knee with the tile in it and then it was raised to the bottom of my hand. We drove home carefully. Once we started tiling, we used this paint-on waterproofing and anti-fracture membrane with elasticity in it. Basically, it waterproofs and helps to prevent cracking. It is very smelly and I had to take a few breaks so I didn't pass out. It paints on pink and dries red, which was weird. We started out not using enough, so I had to do the kitchen again. We all helped, here's the proof!Okay, so Zander just slept there and Brinton was mostly parked in front of the TV, but that was helpful to me and Steve. Tiling isn't very hard to do, but it does take some time. We were up until 4:00 in the morning almost every night for a week straight. We just didn't have enough time to do everything that we wanted to during Steve's, Fall Break from school. At the end, our house had collected quite a bit of dust. I shouldn't have mixed the grout inside the house!No, the comb is not really there. That is just a dust outline. This was our table after I started taking the vases and other things off. I was shocked at how much dust we collected. We kept forgetting to get a before and after shot, so we really don't have anything of our old linoleum. We did a backsplash in our kitchen, and do have a before and after of that though.We ended up doing a pattern that I fell in love with for our entry way and kitchen.

Then, we did the laundry room with just the big tiles and the bathrooms with just the little tiles.I really liked the brick layout for the laundry and bathrooms and then we did the bathrooms on an angle, too. I don't think I make anything easy! We had some left over backsplash tile that we used as baseboards in the bathrooms, which turned out even better than expected.I love how it all turned out and I am so glad to be done.
