Transcript
So recently, we decided that we're gonna be moving into our house in just over a month. And I know that is kinda crazy because this is what our house looks like right now. We won't have a kitchen. We probably won't have flooring, but I'm hoping we have a shower and a bathroom. First thing we need to do is install a shower, which starts with the floors. We ordered a porcelain tile. I would have really loved a natural stone like a marble or something, but I just have this fear that I'm just not gonna seal it enough and then I'm gonna ruin the tile. But anyways, this was our first time tiling. And if I'm being completely honest, it took us three hours to lay three tiles. I think we stayed up till 10:00 at night tiling that first day because once you start tiling, you cannot stop unless you absolutely have to. Like we did, we we tier backwards because we really wanted the line of the door straight. So we came back the next day and, oh my goodness, we were so much better. I honestly think we were just overthinking it. We were terrified of installing them incorrectly and it just messed us up. But for our first week of tiling, I'm pretty proud of what we did. We got the whole floor of our bathroom officially done.
