The bathroom will be the death of us.

Once our tile "professional" finished the walls of the shower, we figured... hey, maybe he redeemed himself and the initial hiccups were just a fluke. And then he put in the floor for a second time...


Apparently he did not get the concept of spacing the sheets out evenly. There is a ~1/8" space in between each of the mosaics, so one would think that it would mean that this spacing would continue between the individual sheets. We were wrong... He put them completely flush in most places. Sometimes there were even larger spaces.


When he did decide to put in spacers, he used rolled up paper... sometimes cardboard! At least he was creative!


So, unfortunately, I had to show up in my shirt and tie and take a shovel to the floor for a second time! And we are back to square one. We had an un-grouted shower and no floor... and of course a promise of half of our money back (which we will never get). Luckily, we have some good help... Gary and Steph worked on the grout on Sunday and it came out GREAT.




After they finished, we decided that we are going to lay the floor ourselves. Steph is unbelievably precise - and OCD ;) - and Gary is basically a Jack-of-all-trades. I think it will come out great! As we have been saying all along... onward and upward. We are in the home stretch.
