Looks good and in record time too.

What type of floor ?

 

[Ah64av8tor]

Agu, I was looking for hard wood but of course Lumber liquidators was out of stock of the .99 per SF flooring I wanted to use, so now it is getting too expensive, have you got a good suggestion?

 

[Ah64av8tor]

I am going to need help moving the stand this evening if any one can come by for a few minutes.

 

[cfmx]

[Ah64av8tor]

Hey Greg, it's all coming together very nicely. I will have some free time tomorrow and tuesday if you want me to buff out the tank for you, or if there is any other miscellaneous tasks left. Just give me a call!

The tile is down it is a good day.

The tile is down it is a good day.

I had a few undocumented reefers come by and help me with the tile job.

Considering my knee and that it hurt for 3 days after scraping the old vinyl up, I was not going to be getting up and down on my knees. I got the job of tile cutter, besides it’s my saw.

First I laid out the tile to get the layout of the inlay right and determine how to get the least amounts of cuts, hey it’s my saw and I want to save wear and tear on it.

The guys showed up and we snapped some lines down and they started laying tile and I made the cuts as they needed them. I thought it would be easy but when you have professionals putting it down its hard to get a break from the wet saw.

Hmm...looks a little off center from the middle of the window..HAHAHA just kidding! It looks great!!

 

[Ah64av8tor]

Yea but it wouldn't line up with the opening to the room if I centered it on the window. :rolleye1: There is always curtains and you'll never know!

Greg, looks great! How's the stand coming along?

 

[Agu]

If you tore it up and moved it a 1/4 tile to the left it would be perfect .....

Looks great and you don't have to worry about spills/floods .

 

[Ah64av8tor]

Thanks guys,

Nate, the stand is coming a long nicely I'm in the stain and finish mode. I could use some help putting a second coat on the inside, glue on the final pieces of trim, sand and stain and then a coat of poly, so stop by Ill put you to work

Agu, I thought of shifting it left 1/4 tile before it went down but then I would have a 1/4 tile at one wall and that would look funny. Now its full tiles 9 X 15.

Scott, Thanks, I am real happy with how it came out, and the inlay is the best part.

Greg,
Great job with the room. Amazing how far it has come along. Tile looks good. Question when the tank is in place is it going to cover up any on the inlay? I know it does not matter just wondering?

Thanks
Mike

 

[Ah64av8tor]

Mike,
Yes, the stand is 33 inches deep and the edge of the inlay is is at 24 from the archway. Unless I slide it in and back it will cover about 4 foot of it. I'm pretty sure that I want it under the archway, well see if it fits then decide.

 

[lookout888]

I think it will look fine either way. I am glad your knee is holding up.

Meghan and i have been pretty busy sorry we could not help more. Maybe next weekend it you need some help.


Also how bad was the room off square?
Let us know
Mike
