After living in our house about year and a half, we started to notice that Meg was using our LR as her “potty”. We had it cleaned several times but to no avail. So the carpet had to go and be replaced by tile. We found a place that carried our same tile that was everywhere else but because it had been over two years, the dye lot was different and it was textured. We also got the wrong color grout so it didn’t match at all. So after all the work of putting it down and grouting it all, Brian decided it had to come back up and start again with something different… Therefore LR/DR tile - Take 2!

Of all the projects we have done, this is the first one that didn’t turn out exactly as we wanted it to. So instead of just living with it, Brian and the boys decided to jack-hammer up the old tile in preparation to start again. It was four easy steps... after thoroughly taping off our living room/ dining room with plastic, he jack-hammered out the old tile, the boys scooped it, they all hauled it outside and in the end had a floor as if nothing had ever happened. Except they were exhausted and starting over…

We love the new floors. They are absolutely beautiful. I love that we all pitched in and did them together Onto the next project...
