The tiling has begun

Ryan’s parents came out this afternoon for the weekend.  We did a little clean up and prep and then went over to pick up miss alli boo.  A quick trip to home depot with Boo to get a few supplies and we came back to a pile of cut tiles, and a pattern laid out and ready to go.

A few hours later and the long wall of back-splash is completely done already!  Then they pulled out the stove and dishwasher and got the tile laid tightly under those (not in our planned pattern, just to fit tight), so we can put them back in place tomorrow and just tile around them (they’ll be at the right height).  That means we just have to move the fridge and freezer out tomorrow and get the floor tiled.  I think they plan to finish the back-splash first while the stove is out though, then the floor.

Look how long that wall looks now!

I was wondering if we’d get it all tiled in one weekend, there is no doubt now – it won’t be a problem.

Under the window the apron will cover the blank spot that’s still there.

Come monday we’ll be grouting the floor, probably grout the back splash on Tuesday since we used mastic on that.
