Tile Borders and Grouting

The great tiling project is nearing an end. We have finished tiling the kitchen, 1st floor bath, living room, mudroom and front hall. We will be finishing up by doing the master bathroom floor and the kitchen counter tops and bar early next week.

Here is the wet saw station in the shop with the cheap tile saw from home depot we bought back in Golden Valley, arguably the best $80 tool I've ever had.

We had a lot of fun thinking about a tile border around the heater, something that would be attractive but not detract from the heater itself. We made this border out of leftover tile from the kitchen.

On Friday we installed the bar base cabinets and butcher block top, note to all future users ...

"Feel free to cut right on the top, everything except meat and berries and anything else you think will stain or stink!"

Cheers,
Ross and Lorien
