New Floor

I started a big project this weekend. We have been having trouble with the toilet getting stopped up so I was going to make sure the wax ring was installed correctly and maybe get a new toilet. Since I was going to remove the toilet I decided it would be a good time to install ceramic tile.

We went to Home Depot Saturday to look at tile. It was amazing, we actually liked the cheapest tile they had on sale there and it was enough to do the floor.

The install has been going fairly smooth so far. I haven't made any major mistakes that I know of. We bought a tile saw a Harbor Freight. It was a big help.

I have to cut and install the last few pieces of tile and then grout and caulk along the edges. Then we are going to paint, then we are getting a new toilet, then we are putting a new cabinet above the toilet, and then Tandi will decorate with a new shower curtain and whatnot.

While at Harbor Freight we also got a rock tumbler. We didn't get the proper sand for it yet, but we have it running with some rocks from around the house and some park sand. HF is supposed to sell sand kits.
