A big job but it is done! We tiled the house and paid for someone to install the hardwood. Brent’s back is bad and we are getting a little over building. The guy did it for $1.85 per square foot and installed all of the flat hardwood grates which are apparently very time consuming. He did a very nice job! Hardwood was ordered through Home Hardware and the tile is all from Home Depot.
Our home is 2030 sq ft on the main level. I ordered 1215 sq ft of hardwood and 678 sq feet of the dark tile and 155 sq ft of the white tile. We had one box leftover from the hardwood and 2 leftover boxes of the dark tile.
