October 21, 2003 Bathroom Tearout 4 |
We got our new floor tile put in today! Finally. Only took 3 tries to get the darn tile here. The Tile Shop failed to mention it was on back-order for over a month ("should take a week!") and then last week it was supposed to be in (it wasn't) and it didn't show up until today. I complained mightily (something like "You screwed up and now I ain't got no bathroom. I can't take a shower in my gol'durn toilet! whatcha gonna do for me?!") and got a discount. Should've been free to compensate us for traipsing around town using the facilities of our friends and families.
Oh, and we have partial (missing a panel) shower walls, too, made out of SwanStone (like Corian) instead of tile/grout (too hard to clean) or fiberglass (icky).
That looks great! Excellent choice, my friends.

I too bought a house this year and didn't have a bathroom for 6 months! I was taking showers in the basement with a camping shower rigged up to the rafters and using a port-a potty. Love your site!
Posted by: Dave at December 20, 2003 10:39 PMHey there, irish squirrels. I came across your page through a Google search for ceramic tiles. I'm re-modelling a bathroom, and I want my floor to look a lot like yours w/ white hexoganal tiles & the occasional black tile. My problem is, I'm having the hardest time finding that kind of tile through any online retailer. Tile sheeting would be ideal. Any suggestions on where to look, or even what I should ask for, specifically? Any recommendations would be great. Thanks!
