So I am not really an expert on anything, but I can manage to do most things.  I had initially thought that painting sucked.  Well I have changed my mind tile now takes the crown.  I have officially missed a huge deadline and am still doing the kitchen tile.  I spent two full days 10+ hours on it and did not finish.  Not to mention there are two full bathrooms upstairs to tile as well. 

The kitchen was more difficult than I had expected.  There are two closets and a bathroom that also have to be done that are connected to the kitchen.  There are five doors that had to be cut around, not including the cabinets and other shapes.  I also thought it would be cool to do a design.  I went with a simple design that killed me on time.  I will post some pics when I am done with it.  I used 12 inch tile on a 300 sq ft room, that is a lot of tile to lay.  Hopefully I am only a week behind, but we will soon find out (as soon as I finish the tile). 

 There is still a bunch of random items to get done as well.  Just to name a few, a gutter needs to be replaced, new kitchen counter tops, three doors, door casing/jam, a piece of vinyl on the exterior, touch up paint, etc…  So I am cutting into the week I had given myself for extras.  The counter tops are special order and might take a few extra “weeks” to get in.  So to put things nicely I am learning a lot on this flip.
