Papa Bear busted out the tile saw from Luke's aunt. He was hoping for better weather, but as you can tell it was quite chilly (check out the icicles forming on the table). Fortunately he didn't have too many cuts to make but we did have to use a lot of salt on the driveway to keep it from turning into an ice skating rink.
I was able to help a little bit with putting up the tiles. Being such a small space to work in though my dad did most of it so that the adhesive wouldn't harden in the bucket since I was a bit slow at this whole process. Even though the tiles have little "spacers" on them to make the gaps for grout you still have to make sure they are creating straight lines. The good news is that I learned the difference between being level and being plum. Level is horizontal and plum is vertical "level."
Papa Bear tackled the floor and Luke grouted it with my dad supervising and giving helpful hints.
It's beginning to look like a bathroom again! We still have to grout the shower, tile the wall and install the toilet and vanity, but we are happy with the huge improvement already. Thanks so much Papa Bear for all your hard work!
