1/4" durock on thinset grout in preparation for tile.
Due to space limitations I can only work on about half the room at a time. Once that half is tiled then I'll shuffle the appliances and furniture around so that I can work on the other half.
Day 6: the tile is finished. After 12 years, I finally have a floor, just like a real house. Yea!
There's still some detail work to do in the living room -- lighting, trim, a little sheetrock and paint here and there. But I gotta go back to making a living for a while so I can get some rest.
