It is so amazing how fast things can move with three guys on the job! Dad and Eduardo laid the floor in the bathroom and the shower, and they even did a few rows of the tile downstairs tonight, and it all looks super great!
I feel that in order to do tile right (especially in an older home) you really need an expert who knows what they are doing. There is just so much that goes into it, and so many things that should be thought of before the first tile is even laid, that I can't imaging a random person jumping into a job without any help.
Lucky for me I have lots of qualified guys on my job!
