Day 12 - More of the Same


Today was the day the tile was to be laid. The contractor removed the toilet and had to prepare the floor. First, the underlayment was screwed down tightly to remove the squeaks. Then, a coat of floor leveler was to be applied. It wasn't the same product as he used yesterday as that side of the floor had to be built up and applied thick. He used a new product. It was supposed to dry in 15 minutes. Except the humidity today was around 90% and it didn't look like it was going to dry any time soon.


He also found two boxes of tiles that were chipped or had defects in them. He was going back to Lowe's to see about getting more tile with the same dye lot number.


The little princess Princesstook her credit card and the Young One and got a room at the Econo Lodge down the road a piece. We have a clean bathroom and free wireless Internet. I'm a happy camper. We might be here tomorrow night too.


Didn't think it was possible, but the bathroom is even uglier than yesterday.
