The first

Here are the progress pics of the first of three major updates to the house. This is the master bathroom.



There are the before and after shots. The tile we had was just plain white. And there was some cracks in the tile so I figured it was time to replace it. I also found a great deal on the new tile at the Home Depot. I'll probably grout it while I'm waiting for the Dish people to come on Saturday. Oh yeah, I'm getting dish. Giggity!

The tear out of the old tile sucked! It took most of the day, and was a HUGE mess. I think I'll have to make a withdrawal from the "assist bank" for the next bathroom.

I used an air chisel to tear the tile out but my poor little air compressor just couldn't keep up. I may have to swipe my compressor from work for the next one.

Any way, there it is. I'll post up finished pics when it's done.

Very nice! It's not too bad laying tile once you get the hang of it. I should get my ass going and lay some tile in our bath.

Very nice Cor!
Not only will you have a nice upgrade, but now you'll be able to multi-task too. (two out of three "S's"- shave, shower and sh**! Who else would have ever thought to put the toilet INSIDE the shower?)
VERY NICE!

Leave it up to Kirby, I did not even notice the toilet/tub combo!

Looks good, the assist bank is always open!
