On toilets and tile

Did you know that modern toilet footprints are bigger than older toilet footprints? Mike and I went upstairs on Sunday to do a final measurement before ordering The Dream Tub (henceforth known as TDT). We placed the toilet on the flange and discovered that d'oh - the water supply line came up from the floor directly underneath the ceramic of the toilet.

So last night, Mike and my dad moved the water line by ripping apart our kitchen ceiling. Here's their finished work (applause please):

I know it looks a little unexciting, but this was a huge deal for us. And so now the toilet is resting comfortably in the hallway.


And...we got our floor tile! Isn't it purty?



We are going to do a hex tile design with flowers - kind of like this:



Tile placement starts on Saturday. Woo hoo!
