Good looking work Pat!  :thumbup:  Wanna do MY bathrooms?  ;D


Thanks, and no.  One bathroom is enough for me.  The wall tile kicked my ass.  Nobody told me that 12x12 porcelain tile...on a wall, with 1/16" grout lines wasn't the ideal first tile job to learn on.....some of the tiles aren't perfectly flat, and they aren't all exactly the same size or exactly square, and 1/16" grout lines don't give much room for "adjustment".  I've got only 2 spots where 4 corners come together that are out more than 1/32", and it pisses me off.  I spent about 3 hours trying to get these 4 tiles set right, and should have cut a couple new ones but cutting holes in porcelain is a BITCH and eats up $13 diamond faced jigsaw blades like nobody's business.  The floor is getting different tile with bigger grout lines so it should be cake after doing the tub surround.
