True ... Norm's a hottie too! Does he still have his own show now up in New England (at least, that's where it was set) where he makes all kinds of furniture and crap? I used to watch that when I'd wake up early on weekends.

145 square feet of tile done. I don't have the engergy to do the laundry room. It is the last room to redo.

New Yankee workshop what they don't show is the 30,000 square foot storage shed full of tools hidden out back.

He has a tool for everything

Pete, I'm impressed with your grouting skills.

Grout is easy, just a mess. Unfortunatly I goofed up and mixed way too much so I made a grout bust of Boy. It almost looks lifelike.

CC, you can come over and watch me make furniture, etc.

 

[Railroad]

Great news, Pete! Glad things are going so well for ya.

 

[Pete]

Well, the bust of Boy I made with the leftover grout did not come out too well. Have to try again later.

 

[RoseRed]

So your bust is a bust?

Now ya know, if I come over and you're making furniture, I'm gonna have to play with the wood, too. I have a few pieces I've refinished (two dressers, coffee table, and a few night stands) and I really enjoy it ... it's a great project/hobby to have to work off stress.

145 sq ft. is a nice warmup. I tiled the floor in the basment in the old house. 300 sq. ft. A 1 sq. ft. section took as long as the 240 sq. ft. family room. Lots of intricate cuts. Ifn ya had told me you were doing it, I woulda come help.
Debating whether to tile, wood or carpet the floor in the basment when I do it. If I tile it, I am going with larger tiles and smaller grout lines. Used 8x8 tiles w/ .24" grout lines in the old house (see if I ever follow the suggestions of the "experts" again ).
