She came home and liked it. Next im doing the floor, i might try and strip it and stain it and see how that comes out. I like the tile and its throughout the kitchen and dining area also but we aren’t big fans of the brown so the stove area will be a test. Its a spanish terracotta and its real thick and a nice thick cement bed with metal mesh so its either try and strip and stain or go over it with a floating floor cuz i am NOT pulling that up. I did a small piece with the bathroom remodel and it was a nightmare. Forgot to mention there is before and after pics but its hard to see the wall with all the wood.

    I like both the tile and the roofing, but it's fun to change things up. If you have the energy.

    I learned on the internet to turn your blade around on your circular saw to cut that metal. It worked awesome

    unless it is the bolt holding the blade on your mitre box those are usually opposite as are some circular saws.
