TILING

We finally tiled our floors in May after living on cement floors for most of our first year in the house. This was a major process that took 3 weekends.

The 1st weekend Ryan and My dad did the Master Bathroom & closet.

Preping the floor so that the cracks in the foundation don't crack the tiles.
