New Tile Flooring

We had another water leak inside the house, second time in 5 years. The faucet for the kitchen sink sprang a leak and we didn't realize it until 12-18 hours had passed.
Thin set mortar is used as an adhesive to glue the ceramic tile down. We are going with ceramic tile this time around. :)
There is a pallet of tile in the back of the truck with all the tile tools in the trailer.
Some of the hand tools of the trade that are used.
This is the entry to the house.
Some final scraping to clean up the high spots and old linoleum backing.
More final clean up. After the first flood I laid laminate wood flooring. We liked laminate so much that after the second flood I laid laminate a second time. Guess what? Laminate is a sponge for water! Not good!

Cool post Brother. Can hardly wait to see what the new tile looks like. How wonderful too that you don't have to do the back breaking work. Love you, see ya later, sis
