Kitchen Floor tiled

The kitchen floor is now completely tiled, after a couple weeks of curing we'll be able to seal up the grout.

The Kitchen Floor Part 2, Phase 1

We'd had the plan since we moved in to tile the kitchen floor, but other priorities had pushed it back, until now...

One of the first things we did upon moving in was get the nasty carpet out of the kitchen.

We got a linoleum remnant at Menards as a stop gap until now, 2 years later, we're getting the linoleum out and the tile in.

Ev loves the destruction processes...


Leveling out a dip in the floor with some mortar...


After a couple of attempts at nipping and using the ceramic blade on the roto-zip, a trip was made to Menards for a tile wet saw, so much easier...


The construction manager doing her thing...


With the stove and frig shoved to one side, half the kitchen with tile set in its mortar base and left to dry overnight.


And now some grouting, after this is dry, it will be the same for side 2.
