Planning ahead made the difference with the bathroom floor. The diamonds centered in the entry ways, perfect half tiles run along the full wall and full tiles line up along the shower entry. Not only does it look good, but waste was minimal. A little planning went a long way.
The week began with a linoleum floor with two layers of 3/4" plywood and a layer of 1/2" plywood to patch the holes from replacing the plumbing and floor joists. The plywood was also used to level the floors between the two rooms that are now one. The week ended with a finished bathroom floor; of course, after many layers: radiant electric heat pad, leveling cement, uncoupling membrane (the orange pad), thinset, Carrara tiles and light gray grout.
