Well, not my first, but my first REALLY manual labor project. I did lay St. Augustine out back which, I don't give a damn WHAT people tell you, will not GROW in the direct Georgia sun. I've since laid about 15 pounds of Bermuda seed and had a little old growth Bermuda that's kicking ass.
Didn't have pictures of the linoleum that was there before.

Here's my next project, I'm taking 4 days off for this, Th, Fr, Mo, and Tu:

Trust me, I don't think that's going to be NEARLY as bad a laying tile. This is the 8th time I've laid tile and it always leaves me me like I've been tackled by a Samoan. Hell, it's like golf. I didn't even know I HAD muscles there.
Now, here's a cute puppy to let you take it all in:

BTW, and some saw the pics of both litters, he's the one on the right:

I'm gonna need therapy in about 13 years when he goes.

Good luck. I like the tile in the bathroom. Can't wait to see the finished pictures of the entry. I am assuming that's the entry anyway. Your dog is cute.

Won't be just the entry. I'm hardwooding the entire house, save the two bedrooms.

Love the tile, the wood and the pets! Have fun with your project.

If you do not have kneepads, pick up a pair at Home Depot. They are lifesavers.

Got'em. Hardwood installation looks like it's going to cost me about 600 bucks more because the guy at Lumber Liquidators said he did NOT recommend gluing to the concrete, but using Elastilon underlayment. That stuff is almost 200 bucks a roll (107 sq ft). I'm doing about 520 sq ft. I just want the carpet gone. These dogs are destroying it plus I want to rent this thing the first week of next April, and these 2 BR townhomes go for 3K.

The wood is cheap though, 1.19 a square foot, and I'm using 4". I can get away with about 560 sq ft. The pic I posted was about 20 bucks worth.
...and there is a good chance my measurements are dead wrong, with the cabinets, bar area, etc.

Nice! The doggie is adorable too.

Good advice. You will be much happier for much longer going this way. But 3K? A month? :o Ouch!

Just one week. The week we're world-renowned for. :wink:

My wife agrees with this.
