Day 1 = 109 tiles in 3 hours
Day 2 = 72 tiles in 2 hours (got home late) Day 3 = 140 tiles in 3 hours (wife and I are starting to get a system. It's called just hand me the tiles and I'll lay them myself.) Day 4 = 170 tiles + 24 cut tiles in 6 hours Day 5 = 31 cut tiles in 1.5 hours (just cutting no laying) Day 6 = 33 more cut tiles + 88 total laid. 7 hours. Lot's of little ones. Saturday and Sunday will be grouting and sealing. And then sometime next week I'll put in the molding. |

Done and done. Drove my wife's Jeep Grand Cherokee all over the tile (see the tire marks) just to see if any tiles would break. Nada.....thankfully.
Ended up taking 30+ hours with me and my wife so figure 45 to 50 man hours. Cost was right at $600 for everything. Glad we did it, but even gladder (lol) that it's done. |

$hit.....80% of what's on those shelves is hers. Wife = pack rat. I use to be a lot worse back in my racing days. Boxes full of my OEM parts that we're replaced by aftermarket. Stock wheels + road racing + drag racing + spare tire sets that I got a deal on. At one time I had 16 rim/tires on those racks.
