Who has ceramic tile in their house? Now I don’t just mean the bathrooms and kitchen? But I mean in the living room and all? Why do you have this? I see the appeal for having hardwood floors, but tile? Whats the purpose? You have to sweep or vacuum the whole floor every day and then you have to mop it, and lets not forget the grout in between the tile.You spend more time cleaning the floors than anything else and they are not very nice for tired aching feet. And if you have tile, do you have kids? Aren’t you afraid that they will get hurt if they fall? My two year old fell out from between our sectional and got a really good goose egg on her head. We have a rug in front of the couch but not behind. It seems like if you are going to spend alot of money on area rugs b/c you have tile don’t you think it would cost them same to have carpet and have them cleaned quarterly?? Thanks for taking time to answer.

Belindita asked:

Is it better to use ceramic or vynil tile in the bathrooms and why?
(example: how it feels on your feet if you live in a state where it gets really cold in the winter, how easy are they to clean, etc.)
Thanks!

faithnJC asked:

I read on hear that I could put new ceramic tile directly on top of the old. My old tile has cracks in it and I want a larger tile than what I have now. Will it still work to put new on top of old? This sounds alot easier and faster than removing the cracked tile and backer board first.

SESTATES asked:

I wanted to install some ceramic tile and i was not sure which came first, the molding or the tile. Also, how about with carpet. Do you carpet first than put the molding up or put the molding down first than carpet.

TB28 asked:

Ok I got a hammer and chisel out the other day to remove ceramic floor tile from the bathroom. The tile has been there a long time. It is an upstairs bathroom. The subfloor is probably a 1 inch or so layer of concrete. I was able to get a couple of tiles up without too much trouble, but the problem is that in the process I am really chipping up the subfloor badly. I am chiseling at a very horizontal angle so I’m not chiseling down into the floor, but it seems like the concrete underneath is just coming up along with the tile. Any ideas?

I bought a small ceramic baby shoe and a old yellow pottery/ceramic looking bear. Both have allenbaugh written in cursive on the bottom. Typing this in ebay doesn’t bring up anything.
