Before, Middle, and After: Bathroom Floor

Check out this bathroom. Not only is this some awful looking tile, and thick, but it's also adhered to the floor in the worst way possible---jammed right in the original cement subfloor. Brilliant.

Before we moved in, we worked on the house for a solid week, driving out from the apartment to the house, bright eyed in the mornings and whooped by nightfall---and in typical Mass traffic to boot. So, during this work week, Chris spent two long days tackling this floor tile (and wall tile, which you can see here as brown adhesive remnants). His hands and gloves (and hearing) were pretty much destroyed, along with three masonry chisels and a grinding stone. Gone.

Here's the bathroom floor further along the process, with the tile removed. All that hard work! You can see the pattern leftover from the tiles.

And here's our beautiful new floor. Huzzah!

(And remember it's a work in progress; please ignore the hole!)
