Did you notice how the last box of tile weighed more than the first?

I spent the weekend reflooring my bedroom in laminate – ripping the carpet out, ripping the underlay out, putting everything down. It was a *much* bigger job than I thought it’d be and took 30 hours straight. I’m in such agony right now because of it too!!

“
Cockerell used simple experiments involving a vacuum cleaner motor and two cylindrical cans. He proved the workable principle of a vehicle suspended on a cushion of air blown out under pressure, making the vehicle easily mobile over most surfaces.”

Yes, between the backerboard and squatting for 5 hours, I had to quit. I could not tile anymore. If I cut one more piece, I think I would have passed out. It’s definitely a workout for anyone who doesn’t do it regularly. I just feel bad for you when you have to grout it – at least that’s the easy(ier) part!

Put it in the attic, but what ever you do, save it. BTW, tiles with dremil cut slots make great mounts for nichrome wire for plastic benders.

I put down nearly 1000 lbs of tile – and something close to that in cement backer board.
