Making Things Pretty

One more day and the sunroom floor will be finished with Texas beige ceramic tile. This picture does not really do them justice. They are a bit more peachy beige than what displays here. I took the picture when it was getting sort of dark this evening. The grout perfectly matches the tile though and I am really grout happy. I have 32 more pieces to glue down around the perimeter of the room. I have to go to Lowes Home Improvement tomorrow before driving out to "The Beast" to have them cut 9 pieces of the tile for me. The last row along the length of the room has only 9 inches of space left. Sigh, if the room had been 3 inches longer it would have been perfect with no cutting. Oh, well. I anticipate needing my own tile cutter/saw by the time I get around to the kitchen/laundry room floor and the upstairs bathroom walls.

So, I used 144 tile at a whopping sale price from Lowes at .68 a tile which totaled 97.92, another 38.00 for the adhesive and 16.97 for the grout. Plus tax, the floor cost approximately 163.00. Wall repair may begin as early as Thursday. I already have the drywall. I DO need some plaster. OK... another trip to Lowes.
