Installing tile floor on the Sun Porch: Part 1

This was a busy weekend at home for us. On Saturday, we worked from 8am to 7:30pm on tiling the sun porch that faces the backyard. We recently had vinyl windows installed in it, and needed to cover the concrete floors, so we decided on tile. It was a LONG DAY. Here's a photo journal of it, that you can use (if you dare) to install your own tile. Note: It takes a long time, and days!
Found our tiles at Lowes
