House project: tile

While I was running up to Elkhart, Jon and the kids started another house project. The tiles near our side door have been coming loose, and a few were broken, so they tore up the entire area and started over. After taking the tile off, Jon discovered that instead of placing a subfloor, they had nailed in a 1/4 inch piece of plywood. No wonder the floor was bouncing! So a new subfloor was put in, and the new tile looks great.

Tearing the old tile up.
 The kids removed all of the tile themselves!
 She won't be outdone by her brother...
 The hired help. They work for chocolate.
 The real laborer.
 Separating the tiles.
 Putting down grout. He really is a big help!
