We bought an entire skid of tiles from Home Depot. I passed them from the trailer into Vanessa through the window. There is now 13 boxes left.
This picture shows my $55 wet tile saw from Princess Auto. It got plenty of use for the intricate cuts. I am selling it to my friend Tom now for $25.
Tiling the stairs was a calculated risk. My new staircase was constructed with three runners and heavy boards for this purpose. I also nosed the edges with oak (routered with a roundover bit). Obviously there is some moulding work left to do here.
This shot shows the stairs as well as another oak transistion on the left hand side of the image. This handles a 1.25" step down in the concrete. The oak strip is screwed right into the concrete with Tapcons.
This image shows the back entryway, which was also tiled in the same ceramic. Another oak transition was used to replace the old aluminum one. In time I will make a maple transition for the other side where it meets the hardwood.Grouting comes this weekend... Yeah! (NOT)
