The new floor is in...
We had this room and a utility room done "at-the-same-time". Tomorrow will be 2 weeks without hot water or laundry. :-) I can move the music making stuff into the new room... or do the finish carpentry. I think I'll do the carpentry step by step over the next month or two. Our Floor person is a great guy... he cut up a whole bunch of 18x18 porcelain tile into the design I laid out. We ruined one brand new diamond bade and gave a second one a good workout on my wet saw. That porcelain is hard... harder than some rocks. Anyways. Step by Step. I want to get the carpentry done and then start getting serious about sound treatment.   best regards, mike

Thanks everyone!
Yes Craig, I just made up a design using increments of 6" on a graph/grid. We did the utility room similarly.
At first the installer thought it would be a repeating pattern but later he realized it's all just block by block with no planned repetition.
I think the pattern helps with the contemporary cottage theme we are going for.
We're gong to use 1/4 sawn pine, which I selected and bought yesterday for all the trim work.
best regards,
mike

Brilliant!!
I like that we can spill popcorn all over it and it'll clean right up. Because of the floor color we'll not miss a piece.

Very cool.
My wife and I decided to build on a few years (well slightly longer now) ago. To save money and keep sub-contractor costs low, I opted to do many of the sub trades myself. Painting, trim carpentry, plumbing, electrical, and tile. I left the framing, roof, insulation, sheetrock and foundation to the experts.
I bought the tools, saws and the diamond blades to cut the tile. then I set about doing the work. It was hard work to say the least, but with research and checking out some tile laying training at Lowes, I got the info I needed to do a bang up job. And saved a ton of money in the process. My best guess on actual savings was between $20k to $25k saved in labor and material markups. It is a pleasure to show off the house to friends and know that I did much of that work myself.
Looks like you did a most excellent job, and its something you can certainly be proud to show off.
