That's a close-up of two of the cracked tiles that were in my kitchen. The tiles were hideous enough, but add cracks and well, it's just crap. And I didn't even mention the GIANT grout line. Yuck! We've always hated that floor.~
The tile guys finished and left at 4:35. So what I thought would be a three, or maybe slightly more day job, was finished in two. I was so happy - and I felt a little stupid for being so irritated by their LONG day on Monday.

There's still a little scuzz on the tiles but I can't mop until Thursday afternoon, so I will wait for my after pictures and then post a long picture post of everything. After I sleep as late as I would like today, I'm going to be cleaning up the rest of the dust and putting all the stuff back in the kitchen and bathroom. I do love my new floors.

yay! they are done sooner than you thought. :) glad you are lovin' those new floors.
I'm thinking that calls for some celebratory suds :-)
Gee, I had to wait until the grout dried completely before getting all the grout haze up too. Wow, finished in two days - Yay!
Can't wait to see the pics!

Oh how awesome. I live in a fixer way-upper and the floors in my kitchen and bathroom are absolute disasters. I found some tiles that would be perfect in the bathroom at a habitat for humanity store, but I don't know if I have the guts to try my hand at it. You're so right, though - tiled floors are so cool.
You’re lucky usually when you figure it is going to take X amount of time, you should double that and come out with the probable outcome. The bigger the job the bigger the multiple.
Looking forward to the "after" pictures.
em,
~~I second that yay!
Mr. Jazz,
~~Who needs a reason?
Carole,
~~"Grout haze" sounds so much nicer than "scuzz."
Jazz,
~~But you will have to. :)
Tatty,
~~There is a lot to tile work. It's not really a DYI when it's flooring, because everything has to be level. Good luck!
BB,
~~Yeah, no kidding. Maybe the sales guy lies to make people happy in the end.
LGS,
~~Like Jazz, you will have to wait. Can't mop yet.
