The Weather Outside is Frightful, but the Tile is So Delightful.

I must have missed a memo on the fact that fall is over...

Yep! We've got the white stuff. I'm glad it waited until after Halloween this year. We can't really complain, it is November after all. I have been prepared for a while, since I've had my snow tires on since October. Of course, it also means that skiing season is upon us, and low and behold, I'm not pregnant, so I might get a chance to ski this season.

So because it's snowing, clearly it's the day we should get out the tile saw and work on the bathroom floor, since it is so warm and lovely out.... Errrr...... Might have a problem with our logic on that one, but it was definitely the first time our favourite contractor dad had a chance between working his many jobs.

Laying tiles in some ways seems a little like Jenga - especially after we bought a curved deep soaker tub (thanks Mom and Dad for that Christmas present from last year!). We also have been storing a second round of slate purchased at our favourite flooring store in the garage for some time. The colour in this batch seems to have a different colour gradient than what we installed in our downstairs bathroom, we are liking it!

The floor was set-up in thin-set yesterday and now is all ready for grout. Looking forward to seeing our cabinet, having a usable bathtub and main floor toilet again soon!
