New tile

We decided to have tile installed in our new basement bathroom, in the hallway connecting to it, and the laundry room.  Steve picked out the tile from Gnome Despot, and George was going to install it.  Somehow, George convinced Don, the guy who remodeled our entire kitchen, to install the tile for us because Don is a tile expert.  It's actually really hilarious in that George ragged on Don for not using the right plumbing fittings, and George knows that Don would rag on him for poor tile installation.  So George is not taking any chances, and convinced Don to do the work. 

We were thrilled to have Don back in our house, and so were our dogs.  Napoleon LOVES LOVES LOVES Don.  Sorry, tangent.

Don understands little boys like DJ.  He showed DJ how to mix the quick set, and how to cut tile.  Then he showed DJ how to lay tile, too.  DJ was totally fascinated, and couldn't get enough!! 

Even with the littlest helper in tow, Don had the bathroom floor tiled in no time flat.  He's going to wait until all the drywall is up before tiling the rest.  Meanwhile, this allows George to start installing walls in the bathroom to start finishing it.
