Pat was the cutter for all of the tile for the Rodriguez's large bathroom. She said it was sort of like using a sewing machine. I don't get it, but she said she followed the line just like when sewing.

In the Rodriguez bath, there was a small spot, about 2 by 7 inches, where the subfloor had been removed, we think to replace the heating ducts. But you can't lay tile over a hole, so we made a little wood box that became the subfloor in that spot, and was attached to a floor joist.

Art nailed down the Hardi-backer board that was under the tile in the baths. We used roofing nails, which was recommended by Brian and seemed to work fine.

Rooms aren't the size of an even multiple of floor tiles, so you must measure and cut the tiles to size. Jennifer had fun, I think, scheming how to best cut the tiles for best fit and fewest tiles used.

The hardi-backer is nailed down, so this floor is waiting for Jenn to measure the tile so we can cut and then glue the tile in place.

This is the Rodriguez small bath after the tile was laid and grouted, and the toilet installed. Ready for those 4 children to take over!

Brian received this fabric on his birthday from Ms Otuafi. She came to the house at least daily, and often brought food and drink to give to those working on finishing her family house.

At the Ramirez house, the water reached about a foot in depth, so the drywall was removed about two feet up the walls. Once the inner walls were dry and treated to remove mold, we must cover them again with new drywall.
