Tile's grouted!

Kid Pic's

Lars' tent.
"Running the fence." He's mowing the lawn with the next door neighbor.


The sheep jammies.
Bed time!

Tile's down!

I have the tile all set now. All I have to do now is grout it.






This is the toilet flange. Not sure whether to add an extension or not. It is 1/2 inch below the tile, with the extension is it 1/2 above. Hmmmm.

more tile

This is right up against the tub with whole tiles at the threshold. They overlap a little so I'll have to cut these tiles. They'll have to be perfectly straight.

I shifted everything over to the left. This will drop the number of cuts I'll have to make. I think it looks good.




The width of tiles under the sink will be about 4.5 inches. The corner will have to be an L cut.

Here's the toilet. Almost a whole tile up against the wall. I'll have to cut a sliver of 5/8 inches off.

Bathroom Tiling

Here is my recent project.

This is the threshold.
This is below the vanity, just to the right of the threshold.
This is where the toilet goes. The pair of tiles is covering the sewer hole. The one on the left covers the lion's share of the hole. Shifting the tile all the way against the wall on the left would allow an easier cut for the toilet hole and leave a bigger tile behind the toilet. Hmmmm.
This is my tub, you see the tiles do not fit perfectly and will need to be cut. The question is, do I leave partial tiles at the tub or at the threshold? I am thinking tub because I plan to have a shower curtain to cover up the ugly shower enclosure, which will mask the tile.
This is the back of a tile.
