Now The Kitchen (Part 2)

Now that the kitchen cabinets are removed it was time to start on the floor. As the say "the right tool for the job" is really important. To get the tile up, I needed to get an impact hammer/chisle. So I spent $50 and rented one from Home Depot. It took about 2 hours to take up the tile and another hour or so to load it into the truck and go to the dump.

We then installed the backer board where I used 400 screws to insure it was not going anywhere. After taping and mortaring the joints we began the tiling process.  This is the part I was really not looking forward to. Tiling is not rocket science but it takes a toll on your back and knees.
