Tearing out linoleum

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

Damn, your idea or the bosses?

I am going to tile our unfinished bathroom and mudroom, but not with little tiles like that. Nice big 12x12 inch tiles for me.

The boss picked them out Then she got me drunk and showed me her boobies, so I agreed to put them in.

Ill eventually do the foyer, kitchen, dining, and laundry rooms too, but theyll be the nice big tiles.

That's some tedious work with those smaller tiles.

Yessir, it will be, but its a pretty small area, so hopefully iti wont be too bad.

i ripped up the linoleum in my parents' kitchen when i was younger. depending on the glue, you might have to rent a power sander to get the floor somewhat even, before you put the levelling compound down. definitely have a nice wide crowbar and a mallet at your disposal, as well as some safety goggles (flying linoleum+ eyes= the suck).

I will probably do some inexpensive ceramic tile. This weekend on "I Want That" on HGTV they had these special fiber optic reflective tiles that took a light that you shined at it and reflected it in a different area on the wall. It was pretty cool, if kind of DDR gay.

That would suck at 3AM on a tequila bender

Yeah, I hope so. The kitchen is gonna rock

We settled on southern yellow pine for the kitchen floor, to kind of match the pine floors in the rest of the house.

Now the beams are all exposed and cleaned up, with some nice v-notch board in between

Cabinets are ordered and should be in sometime in June

Money that needs to pay for a tractor

Tractor? Thats what children are for.

And don't forget to take the toilet out either.... and buy a new wax seal for it while you're at it.

This is very good advice.

 

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

I saw this giant (6' x 9' ) mosaic of 1" tiles at the tile store, the patterns were totally kickass, and all you have to do is set it in place and grout it. Im TOTALLY putting one of those in my foyer when I get around to doing that area. Damn things like 1200 bucks tho.

yeah yeah yeah, Im gonna yank the shitter now.
