We started yesterday at 11:30 ish in the AM...finished around 7:20 in the PM. Started laying out tile when we noticed....they just aren't flat.......damn the plywood is crooked because part of the floor is higher than the other.....we were almost there....made some cuts...broke the "edge" jigsaw blade.....ran to Lowes and got another......then had to rip up the plywood and see what we could shim it with....hey.....that old linoleum floor is just thick enough. Shimmed it, it worked!!! Hammered down sections of the plywood (yes we wanted it down....) and relayed the tile. Had to recut one.....then we measured out the hole for the toilet drain.....started cutting it....
"Damn!!!" my usually non-cursing Wife said as she broke the replacement jigsaw blade at 7:20 at night.......well I got two more from Home Depot today (not edge one's, but diamond edge blades nonetheless that aren't as cheap feeling as the edge one.....) and we will finish cutting that toilet hole and we should be done by today!!!! We have some more cuts to make, but they are all straight cuts that can be done by the circular saw (a much more resilient blade). Yay!!!!! And to think, we want to put this same stuff in the kitchen and hall........just slap us now....
