Tile counter top demolition timelapse

Welp, we decided that the original tile countertop in the kitchen was looking too much like a bad design decision. Dark grout and light tiles apparently tended to make you not realize how much crap was accumulating on the grout, so we’re taking it out and replacing it with some nice 12×12″ galaxy black granite tiles, fitted together without any grout.

Click the photo or this link for the timelapse movie of us getting started demolishing the old tile and discovering what lies beneath. An inch and a half of very crumbly cement, as it turns out.

    It’s like opening a Christmas present — you never know what you’re going to get.

    I just helped a buddy demo tile on his kitchen floor. We went into it blind and had no idea what we getting ourselves into.

    After destroying the tile we discovered and inch of concrete sub-floor.

    After hacking and tugging up the concrete and mesh we discovered a layer of linoleum.

    Once we pulled up that linoleum we discovered green tiles.

    Hold it! Test for asbestos…
