When we began, the garden apartment bathroom looked like this. The floor was covered in uneven, square white tile.

At the end of our first Demo Day, we had a clean slate.

I’m sure we could learn to tile. Heck, we probably will learn to tile eventually but in this particular situation, we had an ace up our sleeves.

My father-in-law loves to tile; legitimately, cross-my-heart, actually enjoys it. It’s spectacular. By the time we got the coffee and donuts set-up upstairs Saturday, I came downstairs to this. Guidelines measured & drawn out. The first 3 tiles already laid. It was going to be a good day.

The hardest cuts would be around the toilet.

But he did it so precise!

Do you see how perfectly it fits around the toilet? Mad skills.

By the end of the day he was nearly to the door. Yeah, I’m impressed too.
