More Laminate flooring, Tiles for the Bathroom + some electricity works

| Vilgāle Apartment | 38 seen

After the tile removal in the kitchen and hallway area, it was already agreed - I will re-install laminate there. Additionally, after hydro isolation works in the bathroom I decided I will tile again.

I was very scared before the new tile job and measured everything 10 times before applying tile glue. Also, I decided to go for 6mm spacers (instead of 3mm)

Preparing to install laminate

I bought 8m2 of laminate, but was bit short after my first day, bought additioanal 4m2 at the end

Preparing for tiling

I had to spend a good afternoon deciding on the pattern and composition. But result was worht the time spent.

Tiling Vilgāle apartment

We will have both sauna and shower in the bathroom, using tiles I tried to seperate those spaces

Installing missing laminate in the hallway

I used a special aluminum divider to separate laminate from the tiles

Electricity works

An electrician friend of mine helped to fix the cables (at least some of them)
