Tiling

Zan and I are moving into the house in the next week so we are working like crazy people over at the house. We are working hard to get a full working bathroom and have been tiling. This is our first tiling project but we have been doing great. We have laid our bathroom tiles over cement board with a vapor barrier applied to the surface. We used thin-set mortar to adhere the tiles to the cement board. The most difficult part of tiling are quantities estimation. The tiles are an expensive material so we did not want to buy a lot of tile that we would never use but we also needed enough for cut offs an mistakes. I did a cad drawing of the shower surround and was able to hone in on our quantities. We tiled the floor with 1” hex tiles and then the shower with 3” x 6” subway tiles. We are very happy with our tiling work and I can’t wait to test out the tub.
