Bob enters the Rowley Victorian through the new Pella French doors into the Mashers' remodeled mudroom. It has a new closet with solid-core, cherry-veneer Woodport doors, tile floors, and a taupe finish on the walls. The remodeled bath has hand-made Trikeenan field and decorative tiles that complement the monochromatic color theme throughout. Roman shades from Smith & Noble provide privacy and accent colors for the new space.

Bob meets with Roger who is installing floor tiles over a mortar bed in the bathroom.

Bob meets Larry, the tile contractor, who is installing floor tiles in the bathroom. Larry starts out by putting down an under-layment, letting it dry then snapping chalk reference lines to insure the grout line remain parallel to the vanity and shower. Larry gives a tip on where to start tiling a bathroom to lessen the likelihood of tile failure and water damage. Larry�s assistant, Leo, then cuts the tile using a diamond tipped water-cooled, tile saw. Bob comes back to Larry who then nips the tile to the specifications and lays it.

Bob and Bob Ingram discuss the Rover Tile that is going into the master bath and children's bathroom. The tile is a combination of ninety five percent marble chips plus Venetian glass and polyester resin which has been ground down to a smooth surface. Because the Rover Tile is manmade the color can be controlled. Some of the colors such as the blue that Bob points out have added chemicals that make them more vivid. Several of them resemble natural marble while others look like Terrazzo. Some also use larger chunks of marble and glass for a more unusual look. Kubik Black has been chosen for the children's bath and a white color for the master bath.
