Long air Chisel for the tile, Even using this i hate removing tile. Our whole house is tile we are in the process of remodeling. Sucks, but this tools works great.

What a lot of people fail to realize is that getting the tile up in chunks is the easy part. The floor needs to be CLEAN and FLAT, and that is the work. If you're putting down cork, wood, or other tile, the old mastic or "thin set" has to be ground off. A lot of my tile was on sub-floor (wood) because I'm in a split-level house. Taking that shit off of wood is a whole different ball game.

I some what enjoyed removing the tile from my bathroom. But then again I took a sledge to everything and went to the frame. Great stress relief.

Grout goes on today

[CWO]

All grouted. It will dry lighter. I'm very pleased with how it turned out. We'll be painting the walls, installing the new toilet and new vanity later tonight/this week ourselves.

Damn I really need to remodel our two bathrooms, but both of them have wallpaper and I really don't want to tear it down and have to texture the walls, and paint, and all that mess. I hate wallpaper with a passion, but I hate replacing it. Our countertops are in bad shape, as is one sink, and the shower needs to be retiled VERY badly.


What did the one bathroom remodel cost you, OP?

[CWO]

We're still calculating the final totals. Lol w just bought lighting, base trim, and paint. I'll get a total once it's all said and done.

Tim, is the wall that has the faucet/outlet on it just sheetrock and textured? I'm suprised the other two walls around the tub aren't tile as well.

[CWO]

It was all sheet rock until today.

Looks great, Tim.


I'm really starting to like those hanging vanities. Makes me want to ditch the one I've got waiting to go in my guest bath.

[Sgt Beavis]

Looking great. Nice color and tile selection. You've got good taste.
