...hallway bath...preparing the floor...

...now that the wall is patched...it's time to get busy on the floor...
...first...we removed the toilet...
...and pulled up the carpet to reveal some neat little white and green tiles...
...almost completely coated with icky glue...
...so we just chiseled the tile off the floor...
...all pretty straightforward...but the hardest thing was removing the grout/glue from the beveled baseboard tiles at the bottom...but a carefully wielded hammer and chisel cleaned those right up...ready for the new tile to come...

~Have a lovely day!

  1. Aha! We had an American House Doctor on television here years ago and very good she was too. However, she did say carpets were never put in American bathrooms! Clearly it was the fashion in the US as well as the UK back in the day.

    Taking up tiles, never a task full of joy, just the satisfaction when they are all gone.
