BTW, tile update: Ended up going with 13"x13" porcelin tiles. The pattern looks like limestone. There is a floor guy in our church that sells them that let me have them at his cost so I picked the best he sold. I've got close to 400 ft2 for about $750 (Including frieght). Plan on going with a light tile on the main floor with a darker shade of the same style as a border. Light tile will be in a 45 degree layout so I'll be doing a bit more cutting than normal but I think it will look better in the long run.
Got the carpet up and the floor scraped last night. (Whew!) Waiting on the shipment of morter and grout to start. (They are tied up due to the weather).
