Weekend Warriors Return

"Ahh... I got hit in the eye with a spacer!"

That's what happens when we tile the ceiling I guess. After a few weeks away from the home improvement biz, Leah and I were back at it this weekend. We worked long hours, got covered in grime and sweat and tile goop. We ate greasy fast food in between trips to the home improvement store for that one thing we forgot the last time we were there.

And after a full Saturday and Sunday of work, we pretty much finished tiling the new basement shower. We even stuck a few tiles on the bathroom floor just for good measure. It went better than I expected and took longer than I expected. It was particularly difficult to figure out how to tile the ceiling. The cuts were awkward and scraping the thinset up there was just dirty work. But probably the most annoying thing was trying to place the tile spacers, which had the tendency to stick just long enough to give you hope before they either bonked off your face or head.

Over all, I think it turned out pretty well. Next weekend I will finish it off and even grout those babies. Then I'll post a picture.
