Tiled Floor

In January I came home from an ACLS class one Sunday about 30 minutes before Chris and the girls got home from church.  When they got home the girls timidly walked over to where I was relaxing on the couch and told me they had been bad and splashed in the tub (we do have a NO splashing rule.)  I told them I knew because I had seen the wet rugs and towels in the laundry room.  They went on to tell me that water had been dripping out of the ceiling.  What?!  

They were taking a bath while Chris was showering in our room and had proceeded to splash so much water out of the tub that it had completely flooded the bathroom floor and had, in fact, sent water dripping down through the ceiling in the kitchen.  They were in trouble.  I went upstairs and pulled back a little of the linoleum and sure enough the wood underneath was soaking wet.  We pulled back the linoleum on all the floor that was wet to allow it to dry completely and not develop any mold, and we haven't used that tub since because the floor wasn't protected.

Fast forward to last Saturday when Chris and his friend, Reed put in new tile floor (well, as in most home improvement projects Reed did most of the work and Chris was there for emotional support/comic relief).

It turned out very lovely indeed.  And now we can use that shower/tub when my parents come when the baby is born!  We will also tile the laundry room and our bathroom with the same tile at a later date.

It's nearly all put back together now, we just need to attach the baseboards and re-hang the door.  We love it, it really looks good.  Thanks Reedin!

We also need to get the other rug washed and put back down.  That silly girl, Ashlee, waits until the VERY LAST SECOND to go to the bathroom and she has to dance around very quickly while trying to get on the toilet.  Needless to say, we have accidents more frequently then we would like to.  Maybe she won't have them anymore when she is 4...........?
