Well, here we are four days into it and finally the first (and hopefully last) piece of tile will be laid today. After ripping through a layer of laminate flooring, TWO layers of vinyl flooring, hammering down about 3,642 staples and roughly twelve-and-a-half trips to Home Depot...

out with the old...

in with the new...

(nevermind the mustard colored walls... those are soon to be covered as well.
Travis just doesn't know it yet.)
*insert wink here


I'm off to continue priming trim and our staircase railing.
...while I still have some patience left for the day.
