HOW TO REMOVE TILE FLOORING YOURSELF {WITH TIPS AND TRICKS}

Let me just start with the fact that I was very naive going into this flooring project. If you have been following along on Instagram, you know that we are up to our chins in the process of installing hardwood flooring on our entire main level. Last night at 1:30 am, we set up our bed in the kitchen. I slept with my head six inches away from my kitchen sink. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do to get a good night’s sleep, right?

I am actually glad for my naiveness to be honest. I am not sure if I would have been so gung-ho if I would have known what I was getting myself into. I won’t hold anything back and this post will tell you all the nitty gritty details. The good, the bad, and the ugly. If I can help save you time, I deem this post a success.

This tool saved me life. I wanted to curl up and cry in the corner after two days of tile demolition. This tool sped up the process 10 fold. Thank you Shawn and Laura for letting me borrow yours. I owe you.

If you don’t have one, borrow one, rent one or buy one. It is WELL worth it. It’s that important. They are only about $169, and I would have paid much more than that had I known how great it works.

We tried several chisels and this is the one that worked the very best. I broke several others first while using different tools.
