FINALLY... we have started to lay tile!!!! It will take a while... but it is started and we WILL finish!!! 
The much anticipated first piece! Mike: These are 20 x 20 porcelain tile we bought back in February and have been stored in the garage ever since.
OF COURSE we had to buy new tools to do this project... that's OK... I like tools just as much as Mike... but he uses them more than I do... he is the MASTER with tools. Here is one of our new tools... a tile cutter. Mike LOVES it! Mike: This is SOOO much faster, neater and cleaner than using a wet tile saw on all the straight cuts. The cuts are so clean that you have to look really close to see which edge was the cut edge.
Kind of looks like hopscotch... Mike: We chose the off-set or brick pattern over the conventional square or diamond look.
We have a LONG way to go... I can't wait! Mike: The entry way is actually the most difficult portion of the tile laying project-SO many cuts and corners to deal with. Thank goodness for tile spacers!
More pictures to come... SOON!
