Thanks to Locipoo (cravenshome.blogspot.com) I now have a .jpg file of my bathroom schematic and so I have a way to post it to this blog (see above).
To give you an idea of the amount of tile I'll need, let me explain the 3-D layout. The floor tile will cover the main part of the bathroom (not the tub area, of course). The wall tile will go up 45in in the main part of the bathroom and it will go 61in above the tub surrounding the entire tub.
I got a Do-It-Yourself Tile book from a friend from work (thanks, Michelle!). I've read through the relevant sections and it's scaring me just a little bit to do this myself, but as a whole I'm pretty certain this task won't be too bad once I get started. My biggest concern is that the flooring beneath the current tile isn't up to snuff. The reason why I have my suspicions about the floor is the grout on the floor has started to chip away and I feel like everything is a little bit uneven. So, I asked myself: "why would grout chip away?" and I came up with the possibility that the flooring underneath isn't what it should be. I guess the only way to know for sure is to remove the current tile and take a look. I plan to get started right after Christmas.
I will watch your progress. So far your ideas seem great, and I have not opinion on what you should do. And lastly, how do you have time to write a blog?
ReplyDeleteWriting a blog only takes minutes. Besides, it's good for me to put everything down on "paper" so I can think it through and reread it and look back at my previous ideas. It's also a million times faster to write one blog for everyone to look at whenever they want rather than trying to remember to send updates to everyone over email (or whatever).
