Saturday, May 11 – Dave, our daughter Kelly's boyfriend, came over this morning to help Paul tile the bathroom. Dave has laid tile quite a few times and volunteered to “help” Paul with the tile laying project – actually he was the tile man, and Paul was the tile cutter.
The floor ready for the tile.
After a few layout calculations, Dave started marking tiles to be cut and laying them as fast as Paul could keep up.

The cutting went well with only a few broken corners that Dave was able to use in other places.
The first piece. Mud.

Dave zoomed right along and within 4 hours the tiling was completed.
Dave gave Paul the honor of laying the last tile.
What a beautiful job! Dave sure did great installing the tile floor.
We are so pleased! Thanks Dave for a job well done!
We let the floor dry for a couple days and on Monday, Paul spread the grout between the tiles. That was easy and went pretty well. That will dry overnight and Paul can start finishing things up.
The finished product. We love it!
While the grout was drying, Paul converted the hall closet that contained the old washer and dryer, to a nice storage closet for Marsha.

Marsha is thrilled with her new closet.
Paul has a little plumbing and electric to do before installing the vanity, then he'll install the medicine cabinets, lights, towel bars, shower curtains, finish up installation of the exhaust fan and install baseboards and window & door trim. Stay tuned for the next adventure.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see y'all back real soon. Have a great day.
