Bathroom Blues (6/16/15)

Shortly after we installed the tile in the upstairs bathroom we noticed it just didn't seem right.  The grout started to crack, a couple of the pieces seemed warped and stuck up above the others, one piece even cracked along the wall by the door.  Mike thought maybe he could replace just the broken piece for now and then wait until we have more time to fix the rest of the floor, but when he took out the broken piece he discovered a lot of the pieces were loose and just pulled right up.  The mortar didn't seem to bond to the back of the tile, just the floor.  We decided it would be best to pull it all up and start over.  Mike was able to pull it all up only breaking one tile (we have a whole box left of the tiles) and started scraping the mortar off the sub floor.
