And we're tiling!

Pretty exciting stuff. Seriously.

Adam and I both agreed that this has been our favorite part of the project so far. It's just fun.

Here's a little before shot-

We started at 6:45, and were at it until 10:30. We were on a roll and just. couldn't. stop. "Just a little more" was frequently said.

The only part that wasn't so pleasant was the outlets. Those little guys made it a bit tricky. Adam had to make some pretty hardcore cuts to accommodate them. The wet saw and tile cutter were definitely put to use.

Chester was a good boy and mostly lounged on his bed and chewed his bone.

 Day 24:
1. Start to cut tiles in half for corners with wet saw. Discover that part of the tile is lost due to the nature of how the wet saw cuts. Call Stef to pick up tile cutter on way home. (Adam)

2. Prep counters with painters tape along edge and paper over counters

3. Stop at HD and pick up tile cutter. I've been there way too many times in the past week.

4. Measure and strategize over dinner

5. Cut tiles in half with tile cutter

 6. Back butter (Stef) & place (Adam) tiles for bottom first row on the left side. Place wedges underneath for uniformity.

7. Put adhesive on walls (Adam) and place tiles for next rows (Stef).

8. Make annoying cuts for around outlets with wet saw & tile cutter. Decide we need to get some nippers before continuing.

 9. Start the right side (see #6-7)

No weird cuts needed on this side!

 10. Decide the outlets on the right side are much easier to deal with.

11. Realize we should probably finish tomorrow. Clean-up

Even Chester thought it was time for bed

 I'm not going to lie. After we cleaned up, I spent about 10 minutes just standing there admiring the tile and our progress. I really love it. And it's been so easy (so far).
