I'm pretty handy around the house love do it yourself project. I've been reading up on laying tile and it doesn't seem all that hard. I think I'll give it a try. It might take my mind off Spanky.Staying busy all ways helps me. I'll let you know how it turns out.  Sheila

Another option, instead of ripping out walls, and using shower paneling, is to use horse stall wall mats. They are practically indestructible, made to withstand urine and poop, and completely non-porous. My biggest issue with any of it is the floor to wall seam. Caulk dries and peels away fr

Hi all,   I have a friend with lots of dogs with tile and she loves it too.  I'm talking about glazed ceramic tile and using a dark colored grout.  Definitely not white! lol.  Also, if you keep the grout sealed properly it is supposed to be impenetrable.

Tile has grout, grout is porous. I'd advise against it, unless this guy has some kind of industrial sealer he puts over all the grout that is cat pee proof. My mom remodeled her kitchen once. She had fancy tiled countertops installed. They were BEAUTIFUL! She spilled coffee on it... grout tu

Hi,   I just got an estimate for the vinyl flooring in my new house. I asked what he would do in my situation and he said that instead of buying the top end vinyl he would go ahead and put in tile for very little more. (1 or 2$ per square foot).  That would mean spending an additional 500 or 1000.
