Laying tile won't be too difficult, but there are so every nice looking vinyl tile that most will think is porcelain or ceramic or stone. Obviously after touching it they will know. They cost same as real tile but don't have to worry about mortar. And even have grout lines to make more real looking.

 

I used Allure flooring from Home Depot. It's a floating vinyl tile that looks like wood. Super easy to install (no glue, just sits on top of the old floor). They come in 6" x 36" size. The tile sticks to itself. Here it is in my bathroom:

 

Yea, Looks almost the exact same shape as mine. I am definitely leaning towards vinyl tile.

Only problem I am seeing is the plywood isn't exactly flat..so might have to put something down so the tiles has a flat surface to stick to.

 

O cha i bet!!! I dont know if i wana post pics in here after seeing some of your homers lol

 

These tiles don't stick to the floor. It just lays on top of it. The tiles stick to each other. There's an adhesive strip along two sides that sticks to the other tiles.

 

U can always pour a self leveler

 

fitted tub with mortar base, and plumbed the tub

 

having someone come to do tile. due to type of tile and small size, wil have my contractor do tile on walls. then i can put in vanity and have granite guy fit top. pics to follow shortly

 

Nice work. Is the copper pipe touching the no hub band?

 

yeah, barely, but yes. i am going to put a piece of foam pipe insulation around it to keep seperated

 

Ok,good. You will have a leak if not. It looks like its the hot side so wrap it all if ya can.

 

yes it is the hot side.

 

another thing. i noticed my water conditioning tanks are sweating semi heavily lately with the high heat we are having. is this normal? should i wrap tanks?

 

Do you mean water softener? Are you on city water ? Well water? Is softener out in the heat of garage? Post a pic if ya can.

 

What system are you running and where are your tanks located? I run a Kinetico system and have never noticed the tanks sweating but the system is located in a well house that stays pretty cool all year round.

 

I see where you're located. I wish my well house was as cool as yours. At least we aren't at 103 right now,yet.
