New floors are goin in!!!

New floors are goin in!!! - 04/07/21 01:33 AM

On day #2 of the install. All the tile is done except for the grout which will be completed tomorrow. Then the laminate wood floors start on Friday and will be done on Sunday. Knocking out the entire house at once. Did the demo myself but a contractor friend is doing the install. I'm so excited!!!

Guest bath is only room thats completely done grout and all. Here's what the completed tile looks like. I'll post more pics next week showing the wood too.

You forgot the "Clear Rear" appliance on the toilet.
Get a couple of 'em, they're worth the wait.

P.S. Never buy TP again. . . . . . . . . shortages and price increases are a'comin . . . . .

P.P.S. remodel looks good . . . .

Word on the interweb says those (clear rear) work well for folks that get the squirts at least 4 times a week... anything less and paper is the way to go. bolt

We are about to pull the plug at our house. All three bedrooms will get the carpet removed and replaced with wood floors. We were going to replace the tile in the kitchen and both bathrooms, but I had to drop $6900 on a new HVAC last weekend.

Yeah, I'm excited to see how it looks where the tile transitions to wood.

Since they had to remove the toilets to do the tile anyways we went ahead and replaced them too. The old ones were tiny and my wife and I are both tall.

We're leaving to go camping tomorrow. Can't wait to get home Sunday and to see it all be complete.

Base boards will follow. Just gotta procure an air compressor and nail gun. I want those things anyways so this will be a good excuse I can tell my wife for buying them.

This is what I'm lookin at... opinions welcome!

Not a fan of DeWalt, but that's a purty darn good price for that set up. Might also want to get you a 15 ga. nailer for other stuff. Also, be mindful of where the pipes are in the wall when nailing. Yeah, that will ruin your day.

Is there enough elbow room for a left handed male on the toilet. Looks too close to the bath tub for a lefty. roflmao

Thanks for the heads up.

I used to go all natural stone on everything, like slate and travertine, but you're supposed to reseal it every few years. With all the new cool tile that has come out over the last few years, next time I have a project, I'm going with something that is no maintenance.

Yeah it's a small bathroom but it's our first house so it is what it is. Hopefully we'll upgrade in a few years. Lefties and there boom booms weren't exactly top priority when were house hunting.

If you want to go less expensive :


$30 stapler and nailer . . . mine's been good for 2 years

their (HF) better pancake compressor

You're in for under $100
