that no one, including myself ever puts back where it belongs.
I like a good porcelain tile. If you can do the work yourself and do a little
price shopping the price isn't bad. But it is important to lay cement board or
the new fiber board down first. If you go that route, be sure to get class 4
or 5 in the tile.
