Day 2 Pictures - Kitchen Floor

Yeah, there is tile! And it looks wonderful.  I'm so excited to see a resemblance to the finished product!  Here are some pics from the progress.

My brother-in-law mixing his 4th (or 5th?) bag of mortar.

It's a messy job.

Adolfo laying a tile that's been cut to fit perfectly.

Alex's bucket of water - he's in charge of "cleaning" things.

How pretty is that!  I'm glad we went with the larger 18x18 tiles.  It looks beautiful!

This isn't the best picture, but it gives you an idea of
1.) how much they got done; and
2.) how dirty my house is!

Kindly - and as promised - they left me a "pathway" to the refrigerator where they did not tile (so I could step since the mortar was wet).  Those tiles will be tomorrow's job.  That, plus starting the grout.  So far they used nearly 6 bags of mortar, four bruised knees (through knee pads!), several pain relievers and an icy-hot application later, they're ready for bed.  We're making progress.  (So it's not really "we're" as much as it is "they're"... I need to give them the props as that's where it's due!)

I can't wait to share Day 3 progress tomorrow.  Let's see how far it goes!  I think it'll be a slower day since Adolfo will be working solo.  I'm looking forward to sharing what does get done with you then.

Thank you for reading!
