During the mess: Flooring Fun

During the mess: Flooring Fun

This is the tile we laid in the bathrooms to look like wood. 

Team effort! 

And we wash...


And we wash...


A couple of samples so you can see the ridges. A must in a bathroom to prevent slipping. 

So don't shoot your finger with a nail. That is all.

  1. Congratulations on an amazing effort. You are to be commended for taking the time to save this wonderful old lady and bring her back to her glory days. Most impressed with your flooring skills. I am not sure I would have the patience required to layout and implement such intricate patterns. Job well done, Happy living to you and your family. Gene D Blair, Dayton OH

    1. Thanks! It took a week alone to lay out the flooring then another 3 weeks of labor to put it in. LOTS of cuts and custom pieces.
