Washer Closet - Tiling the Floor

Washer Closet - Tile Floor
1st night: shopping, cutting Durock, and cutting tiles.
2nd night: mortar, and setting tiles
3rd night: grout
Lessons:
Never leave your trowel outside when rain clouds are overhead. Cheap tools rust fast.
A carton of grout needs 26oz of water. This means that half a carton of grout needs 13oz of water, not 23oz. Retard.
Tile nippers suck on their own. To get a straight line, where you want it, tile must be deeply scored to make the break with hand held nibblers.

Update: 3 weeks later and it's all done
