WEEK 21: The mudroom, like this entire project, is S-L-O-W-L-Y taking shape this week. In an earlier post I had discussed the history of flooding in this room as well as tips on choosing tile, so this is mostly a pictorial update.
SEPTEMBER
The base of our mudroom has been filled with cement. #floodproof
OCTOBER
The floor was built up and then the concrete was poured. We opted for a high-rated tile from Home Depot as opposed to designer tile from a tile store. The ratings on the tile were very similar, but the price-point was not. Home Depot for the win.
For more information on the tile selection see this post “Lighting Up $100 Bills.”
LAST WEEK OF OCTOBER
The tile was laid out and the sheet rock was installed this week.
The tile will definitely serve the “mud” room well and hide what my boys will track inside.
FLOOD SAVVY: Fight Flooding - Tips & Inspiration 
All houses should have a mudroom, and a storage room. Unfortunately most houses in Australia have neither. So I look at this with some envy.
I’m up to date – what a fascinating story of the elevation, wow what a journey.
Thank you so much for following along. Best to you and your project as well.
