500 sf of Daytona garage tile! I am so psyched! I've been waiting for this to arrive and was really bummed that I was going to miss this great install weather.
Anyway, I'm running out to start clean up. I'll add more pics tonight to show how much I get done!

So, it took some time to get the garage cleaned out since I kept getting interrupted. Then it took a little time to figure out how to start the tiling, which direction to set the loops, etc.
We got this much done in about an hour- we'll have to finish the rest tomorrow.

LOL, I thought about it, but since I work at a clinic in an elementary school I would feel awful leaving them in a lurch. I'm heading home at 3pm to get back into it and have informed kids that there will be pizza or some form of takeout for dinner tonight .

Here's what I think, kenchan:

I think Annette is holding out on us. I think she finished the garage days ago. I think she's trying to torture us through anticipation ! I think she's mean !
