Well, I woke up today with the plan of picking up the backer board, thinset and nails and spending the day laying it out. Ummmmm, it didn't quite happen that way...
Stopped by my local tile source, just to check out
their price for backerboard. Found they had my tile on sale (I planned to get it here, anyway).
8500 Lbs later, and this is where I'm at:
A Quick Ton...
1000 Lbs of Thinset Mortar for the backerboard
1000 Lbs of Modified Thinset for the tile
200 Lbs of Grout
100+ Boxes of 16"x16" slate tiles
23 boxes (44 pcs/bx) of 6"x6" slate tiles
Also picked up a pallet (60 sheets) of 1/4" backerboard.
There are some beautiful colors in these tiles. This is gonna turn out looking amazing!!!
Surprisingly, it only took me 4 hours to unload this stuff, one box at a time, and stack it in the garage, but man, am I feeling it now!
I'll pick up the roofing nails tomorrow...let the games begin!!!!!
