Chit Chattin away!

Wow dude, you are full of useful information! Thank you so much! That sticky tile was my partners idea. I just wanted to put another sheet of vinyl flooring down. They make some pretty nice ones now. But nooo, she wants the tiles and the grout and I said "Look, I tried to put some of that down on the floor of Baby's cage and it's the same type of sub-floor/plywood and it didn't stick." She insists it will stick...so guess what. She can do the floor.

The painting is *almost* done.

Q, I suggested that to Beth and she said we didn't need to do that. I'm just going to let HER do the floor. I've done everything up to this point...she can deal with the floor that SHE picked out. I think that's fair.

 

[UntamedRose]

Sounds fair to me.

Good Morning PIFers!!

 

[loxmythe]

Good morning everyone

 

[quittin4mykids]

Yep, I think its quite fair.

 

[markfm]

Yay, made it to Wednesday, another week flying by.

 

[quittin4mykids]

Yep, and I have a mardi gras cake for this weekend and have to drive 4 hours one way for my kids to do a archery competition!! UGGGGGGGG

and sadly, the cake is rated R so I cant share it... ;-)

 

[BiancaMontgomery]

Well, bless her heart, Beth let me sleep in today. I guess she loves me.

More coffee.

 

[UntamedRose]

Not busy if anyone wants to go loony im good now

 

[BiancaMontgomery]

Another 30 minutes in a teeny tiny space with paint fumes and I would have definitely gone loony, but I do believe I got out in time. Maybe tomorrow?

Yes, yes I do. My partner wants it to have pretty little white lines of grout all around it...so...you know...she's hot. Nuff said.

I was nice and painted the floor in the hope that the tile would stick better for her. I also told her about heating them up with the hair dryer and she's doing that. We didn't pick up the roller, so she's using a heavy marble vase to roll with ...hey, whatever works.

Painting is done minus two spot of touch up where I took down the light fixture. I have the light fixture dangling in there and the new one ready to install. I guess I'll be grouting tomorrow , if she gets them all stuck tonight. Then the trim/baseboards (not looking forward to doing that)....Vanity is all together, sink and faucet should be easy to put on it and last but not least, the toilet. Still haven't been out to look for a medicine cabinet.

Um...why did I start this project again????

Loony. You did remember to report to Ms Rose, right?

 

[keyzygirl]

I totally dont get how you can grout those flat tiles. A very thin line and wipe it almost all off?

Crap, now I'm going to get in trouble because I took myself off the schedule for loony today.

She's putting spacers between them all. It will be just like grouting between ceramic tiles.

LOL. Just don't put the toilet down until after the grout is dry. Then when it starts cracking because the thinner vinyl tiles move, but the grout can't, you can put in linoleum.

Don't mean to be a downer, but that tile doesn't play well with grout. (Might want to hold off on the base, too.)

 

[BiancaMontgomery]

I'm not 100% sure what you just said, but I'm thinking I shouldn't like it.

 

[beebopnjazz]

I don't know a thing about ceramic tile BUT you have a thin giving surface next to a non-giving surface - im thinking there will be issues of the grout cracking - it'll be so fine - height-wise not width-wise. Might require more upkeep than under normal circumstances.
