    The Moment of Doubt

    Reveals a point of near-failure or a desire to quit, which raises the emotional stakes and makes the eventual success more impactful.

  5. 5

  7. 7

Transcript

No I have good news. We just finished installing the rest of our terrazzo tile. And the biggest thing I have learned about installing tile is the first 80% is way quicker, way easier than the last 20%. I wanna say we only spent a few days installing the majority of the tier. But this past week, we probably spent forty hours just cutting the tile. But once we started putting down the tiles, it really started to complete the room, which made this whole tile fiasco kinda worth it. When we were trying to find replacement tile, I just wanted to give up and just put hardwood down everywhere in the home. But when you look at the details like the vent, I never thought I'd be excited for a best, but look at this vent. But we also had two other rooms we worked on. We worked on the powder room, which I'm so excited for this room. And we worked on the closet. This one's I don't know. It's a closet. But after two weeks, our Facebook marketplace place tile is all installed. It's not sealed. It's not grouted. But you're just gonna have to give us time for that. We're just like everyone else. We procrastinate some things.
