This is what our floor looked like at the front entrance to the house. It is the original floor making it over 50 years old, and wood flooring at the entrance to a house in a rainy climate is not a good thing...so needless to say the floor looked horrible, thus we decided to rip it up and put in ceramic tile.
Addie and I started at about noon one day with a hammer and a chisel and started ripping up the floor. It took us about 7 hours to get it all up. The floor was rotted in so many places that it just snapped apart, but would not pull up in one piece.
But we got it all done....though I am not sure that I can get Addie to help me with a project like that again.
Ramon was in charge of laying the new tile....Macie and Belle were more than willing to help Ramon with that job. We got it all laid in one day, but the thin set that Ramon mixed, wasn't mixed right so half of the tiles did not set, so they had to be ripped up again, cleaned off and reset.....after about two weeks we finally got the flooring done....I will have to post pictures of the completed floor
