Nice!
Is that going to double as a work bench?

Just finished the floor at my first home which is now a rental.
Took a pic of the tools used for the floor.
The ugly. Peel and stick tile from 12 years ago. On top still looked decent but underneath a different story.
Padded backing.
Done!
Took a pic of the house because the tree bloomed a different color this year. 6 bedroom house, transformed by me from 2 and 2 duplex. Still needs more work.

did you tile around your cabinets and dishwasher?
what did you do to transition from the tile to the wood floor?

Just got the shed done Start to Finish. It was a challenge because the backyard is on an angle but turned out to be not that bad.
Uneven ground. Used pressure treated lumber for the box.
Filled it in with 1 ton of left over from a previous project of crushed stone and topped it off with 1 ton of blue crusher stone. Also installed a weed barrier fabric and was going to throw away the arborvitae but decided to replant them here instead as a decorative piece.
Read the "whole" instructions first. It really helps.

Filled in the bare spots around the shed and the fence line with some mulch.

Mainly storage in the shed. I did think of making one for the garage that would double for a work bench and miter table. Cut a section out to drop the saw in when I need to use it then have a table top to slide in place when I don't need it. Then again, I am planing on cleaning the garage out and leaving only a few cabinets and tool box. I only have a 2 car with roughly 16" on each side of the garage door. Makes it hard to get 2 cars in with stuff on the sides. Reason I am making as much storage in the shed as possible.
Shed is roughly 10' wide x 15' deep x 6' before the roof. Looking into my options for rebuilding the shed. Its a metal shed now with a few dents/pin holes that leak and the floor isn't level. Good enough until the exterior house projects are done, then I'll drop money on a shed.

Got a great deal (lucky) on the existing shed. 275.00 all in a box. It`s not only a good deal but is pretty solid. Might just keep this one.

At the tile place, we had purchased an 8' metal edge. It gets tucked under the tile and makes a nice edge. It sticks up about 1/2-3/4 inch above the wood. But, we are getting carpet installed over the wood and should make it pretty even.

Finally somewhat finished with the Bathroom update. Ended up using travertine crown for the 3/4 wall. I don't even want to go back and look when my last post was, this was almost a year long project lol
Still have to swap out the door handles hinges and tub handles with brushed nickel. Wife wanted new floor tile as well so I guess that took a bit more time.. This was supposed to be a simple swap out of the tile and turns into much more of course.
Threw some 18x18($30 total) travertine on the countertop along with some $50 ikea sinks and framed out the mirror with some cedar fence(looks rough). Was trying to get close to the color of the maple cabinets, but the knots in the cedar made it look like crap so I painted the frame white.
Inexpensive update..
