Logan dances because we just bought tile.

First things first! Replace the crappy bi-fold door!

Doing this simple task required pulling out the drywall on the opening and putting in an actual door frame with door stop and everything- not that bad, eh?

Then we have to correct the old owner's idiot mistakes- like not buying the 3 extra tiles that were needed to finish the closet.

...and leaving electrical wires exposed and mounted electrical boxes with left-over door hardware- can you spot the door latch?

Jody, now master electrician, has put the wires were they are meant to be, in the wall and in the electrical box.

Now the fun begins!

Demolition wasn't as fun as one would hope. Some tiles came up really easy and others not so much....

Then came the cement board....

Go cement board, go!

Layout of the tile (and cutting of tile until late into the night- the neighbors haven't called the police on us yet!)

Tile layout hard!

Finally time to lay tile!

I was so close to finishing before Logan got back from his business trip!

Oh, and I had to remove the stair rail to tile correctly, then reinstall the stair rail so as to appease the mighty Logan.

Tile waiting for grout!

A mostly finished foyer!

Grout drying!

Grout done! Phew!

And here's proof! We didn't forget to buy enough tile to finish the job- the closet has nicely cut tile like everywhere else.

Our new transition strip at the stairs- this thrilled me beyond reason (which is probably why I'm an architect)
