Hi guys, it has been a while on my update of my floor tile so here it is ........ All the tiles are now thin-set in place, I am so happy!! :)
Now the next step is the grout, and I will be using black sanded grout. I need to use a grout release that is lightly sprayed on the tiles to prevent the grout from sticking to the Mexican ceramic tiles. I don't think that the grout will have a sticking issue on the porcelain tiles, but it will get sprayed too!
Around the perimeter I will be using sanded black matching caulk, where it is exposed, like at the front door threshold. Where the tile butts the tongue and groove I left 1/4 inch gap for expansion, and this will be hidden under a 1x4 Spruce baseboard.
I think this project is coming together very nicely....
There are other areas to tile, like the other side of this room and the kitchen.... bathroom...mudroom.... WOW 
I will post photos after I grout this and let you see...... I hope you enjoyed this update!!!
