Subfloor as in new plywood or hardyback for layin tiles?
I need both. You almost go thrw the floor in a spot in the laundry room, where they let the hot water tank leek.
I have decided to go with tile though the whole house. So I need to put down 600 square feet of backer board. That is the one thing I have not gotten cheap yet,,sigh,,, plus we just spent over $300.00 on concrete for the room we are building to join the two buildings together. Maybe I should have just bought a mobile home?? This is back breaking and time consuming. I beez a tired Elfie...
I bought seven hundred dollars worth of gravel 2weeks ago for my drive way and picnic area after the flooding rain. I still need another 12to, which would make the total36 ton!
That is a lot of gravel.
yes, that is a lot of gravel.
I did too and the storms came and washed most of it right down to our ditch. Now we have to hand dig it out or order it done all over again. I cannot afford to flush that kind of money away twice, our drive way is kinda steep,, so we are going to have someone come asphalt it. It may stick then,,,sigh,,,
I put crush and run in the drive way
The incline is just to steep to hold it in place without being properly packed down. It is now in our ditch. The guy who did it came by and told us he guessed we should just dig it all out of the ditch and spread it again by hand. I about slapped him I was so mad. You would think for $$$$ he would fix the mess he made. Now My main water pipe is exposed. I am not happy. Anyway I hope you have much better luck that we did.
:( too much dirt! Thats just crazy for you 2. Thought on the flooring, we used this http://www.menards.com/main/flooring/tile-stone/tile-installation-maintenance/tile-surface-preparation/mapei-mapelath-roll-synthetic-lath-underlayment/p-1926280-c-6590.htm right on over the plywoods in the kitchen for tile. Tile been down almost a year and no problems. You can cut this stuff easy too to fill in weird spots. No dry time either.
Thank You to everybody! My birthday was a fun one.
Today we're going to Hershey Gardens! I'm very excited!
Be back later!
Pics! :D
Elfies,
Heres some pics of it going down. Roll it out, staple it all down to the floor nice and flat. Sip baileys, start puttin on your adhesives and lay the tiles. Wear kneepads! lol bes done and I dont want to do it again for a longgg time
Elfie, my hubby spread ours with the bobcat, and smooched it down good. It's staying in place pretty good.
That looks nice Amanda.
Snowing here this morning.......biggest flakes I've ever seen....
Blimey Kathy!
Here are pictures from today.. I am making my own version of a sandbag water retaining wall. I am hoping to eventually be able to fill in the whole area with a wall with flowers behind it. I will be putting in a proper drainage system next year. I will leave all the cheapo topsoil in bags for now and then see how the water drains after the storms we are supposed to be getting this week.
I m
planted Skyscraper Sunflower s in the very back of the raised beds. Going to fill the rest of the beds with Asiatic Lilies.
Looks like a lot of work!
Elffie, have you thought about using the LA Hybrid types? (Longiflorum/Asiatic Hybrid, they get their fragrance from the Longiflorums (Trumpet type). Most are fragrant and usually about the same price (if ordered)... Check out Gilbert Wild and Son .com. I have a beautiful patch of the "Opening Night" , and are gorgeous when the deer leave them alone... (I cheated and put a plant of Nepeta cataria next to them.. Last year the deer avoided them cuz of the catnip smell they hated....Yeah!!!! lol. I like the LA Hybrids cuz they multiply quickly like the Asiatics but also the added bonus of the Trumpet side being fragrance. Yummmmmm! This patch should now be about 2 foot by 2 foot wide,(maybe more) and a gazillion babies too..may have to dig a few and move them out a bit so there's room for all to bloom.
Love the 'Opening Night' lilies. I bought one on clearance because the blooms were faded, but it still smelled wonderful! I hope it does well in the garden. Well just ran in to get a cold drink, back to the new raised garden! Working the big clumps and rocks out so it can be tilled this evening!
Nanny...you'll love them!!! Just make sue to leave most of the stem after bloom, babies will develop along the stem in the ground..... In fall cleanup carefully pull the browned stem and put babies back in the hole or close by and you'll have a clump in no time. Pix is from my daughter's garden, will have to get a pix of mine this year...
Umm, okay, not to hijack this conversation or anything, but
my baby had probably better be a sunbaby, maybe a baby with a little sunscreening.
