Dear Mike…tomorrow we will be heading into week 9 of our kitchen and bath reno. I don’t mean to sound impatient, but this is not a nine week job and it doesn’t show any signs of getting done any time soon. I’ll have more to post later this week when I get back from a brief respite to Vancouver, but as you can see in the picture on the left, the subfloor preparation has been completed and the tiles are being installed.
These are the tiles. They are made in Italy, and are porcelain, just like what you recommend in your book. They are quite durable and the colour runs all the way through, so if for some strange reason a tile gets chipped, it’s much less noticeable than what you would see on a ceramic tile that just has the colour glazed on. Here’s a quick run-through on YouTube on the ‘non-latest’ so far…
Good luck with the reno! Somewhat coincidentally, I’m watching Mike work his wonders on a house just now!
