We did finally get the slab all cleaned up and the tile floor installed. The result is great… it totally justifies the 10 hours of backbreaking work getting the vinyl floor out of the kitchen — but only, I admit, because I didn’t have to do it myself. Nothing would justify that!

We survived the minor inconvience of not being able to enter the front half of the house for a few days… an easy task compared to what the contractors were going through.

The tile is an 18'' x 18'' ceramic from Italy, with a slight texture to the surface. I like it on the floor even better than I liked it in the showroom. It complements the 3 shades of brick better than I expected it would.

Next up: baseboards, windowsills and framing, and then a home-office remodel that will take weeks. This homeowner stuff never really ends — by the time we get “done” we’ll have outgrown the place, and we’ll be starting fresh somewhere else.
