During the time when posts are brought back up -
I'd like to just remind everyone that I was already declared the winner of this thread a while back 
Working on the basement - something that I was putting off for a while because the previous owners placed down an 8" X 8" asbestos tile that I was not too fond of removing.
Needless, took it out, and replaced it with an 18" x 18" porcelain tile. Still need to grout, but a huge improvement over what it once was. Not too bad for just a laundry room. Still have the bathroom down here to do...and some other small items.
Laundry room here is 26' x 8.5' - and has a 4.5' x 7' 1/2 bathroom off it. Still debating on if I want to take out the regular toilet and drop in a manly urinal (as I'm not really one to drop the deuce in the basement bathroom).
